Editorial policy
How our reporting is produced, checked, labelled and corrected.
Independence
Wagering Weekly is an independent news site operated by its editorial team. Editorial decisions — what we cover and how — are made by the newsroom alone. Advertisers and sponsors cannot buy coverage, approve articles or change reporting.
Sources
Our reporting is built on sources anyone can check — regulatory notices, laws and court documents, company announcements and filings, official statistics and research. The sources behind each story are listed at its end.
When sources disagree or a claim cannot be confirmed, we say so rather than choosing the more dramatic version.
AI assistance and automated checks
Reporting on Wagering Weekly is produced with AI assistance from public, citable sources, and every draft passes automated checks against those sources before it goes live. The sources are listed under each article so you can verify them yourself.
- Every factual statement must be supported by a cited source; unsupported claims are removed.
- Figures, dates, names and quotations are compared with the sources automatically.
- Quotations are only used when they appear in a cited source, and are attributed to it.
- Articles are not credited to invented people: the byline is always the newsroom.
Automated checks have limits. They test a draft against its sources; they cannot make an inaccurate source accurate. Read our sources critically, and tell us when we get something wrong.
Corrections and updates
Report errors to contact@wageringweekly.com. Confirmed mistakes are corrected in the article itself, which then shows when it was updated.
Sponsored content
Paid guest posts are published only with a visible “Sponsored” label, with rel="sponsored" on their commercial links, and after the same editorial review as our own reporting. See Write for us.
Gambling and minors
We report on gambling; we do not promote it. We never target content at people under 18 and include information on support for anyone affected by gambling harm on our responsible gambling page.
