Editorial Policy

Our Editorial Standards

CockadoodleCash.org exists to help players decide where to play Cockadoodle Cash and similar titles without wading through marketing copy dressed up as reviews. Every page on this site is written and maintained under a single standard: if we would not tell a friend the same thing, we do not publish it. This policy explains how our content gets made, how we check it, how we make money from it, and what we do when we get something wrong.

The standard applies the same way to a casino bonus table as it does to a paragraph about game volatility. Nothing on this site is written to flatter an operator, and nothing is softened because a partner might prefer a friendlier line.

How We Create Content

Content starts with the game or casino itself, not with a press release. For a title like Cockadoodle Cash, our team pulls specifications directly from the provider - RTP, volatility, betting range, platform compatibility - and cross-references that against the game's own demo before a single word of review copy is written. Casino sections follow the same pattern: we open real accounts, deposit real funds, and record what actually happens when we try to withdraw, verify identity, or claim a bonus.

Our lead reviewer, Alex Novak, has covered the international iGaming market since 2019 and holds a certification in responsible gambling awareness from GamCare. Alex's byline appears on the reviews that carry primary testing, and editor-in-chief Daniel Whitfield signs off on the ratings before anything goes live. Writing is structured so that facts - numbers, licences, dates - are sourced first and prose is built around them, never the other way round.

What We Rely On

Fact-Checking Process

Every figure that appears on this site - an RTP percentage, a maximum win multiplier, a wagering requirement, a licence number - is checked against its original source before publication, and again whenever we revisit the page. A second team member reviews the draft against those sources before it ships; nothing goes live on a single person's say-so. If a number cannot be verified against an official source, we either mark it as unconfirmed or leave it out entirely rather than guess.

Bonus terms get particular scrutiny because they change often and quietly. Before we publish a welcome offer, we confirm the wagering requirement, minimum deposit, and any game-weighting restriction directly on the operator's own terms page, not from a marketing banner.

Affiliate Relationship Disclosure

CockadoodleCash.org earns commissions when readers sign up with a casino through links on this site. That is how the site stays free to use and how we fund the account testing described above. It is also the reason we publish a separate affiliate disclosure page with the full detail of that arrangement.

Commission has no effect on ratings. A casino that pays a higher commission does not receive a better score, a higher placement in comparison tables, or softer language in its review. We have delisted casinos after testing turned up slow withdrawals or unresponsive support, regardless of the commercial relationship in place at the time.

Update Frequency

Casino listings and bonus details are reviewed on a recurring schedule and updated immediately when we learn of a licence change, a bonus term revision, or a pattern of unresolved player complaints. Game information is revisited whenever a provider updates a title's specifications or certification. Every page displays the date it was last verified, so readers always know how current the information in front of them is.

We would rather show a slightly older "last verified" date on an accurate page than rush an update that turns out to be wrong.

Corrections Policy

Mistakes happen despite the checks above, and we would rather hear about them from a reader than leave them uncorrected. If something on this site is inaccurate, out of date, or unclear, contact our editorial team at [email protected] with the page and the specific issue.

Author Independence

Reviewers on this site do not accept gifts, deposits, or hospitality from the casinos they cover, and no operator sees a review before it publishes. If a member of our team has any personal connection to an operator under review, they recuse themselves and the review is reassigned. Ratings are set by the editorial team based on testing results, never negotiated with a partner.

This independence is the entire point of the site. Readers come here because the information has not been filtered through an operator's marketing department, and we intend to keep it that way as the site grows.
