Editorial Standards
Our commitment to independence, accuracy, and serving our readers
Our Core Editorial Principles
Independence
Our editorial decisions are never influenced by commercial relationships or advertiser preferences.
Accuracy
Every claim is verified against primary sources with monthly re-verification cycles.
Timeliness
All content is reviewed and updated monthly to ensure current information.
Reader Service
Our primary obligation is to our readers, helping them make informed decisions.
Editorial Independence
The Low Lay maintains a strict separation between our editorial content and commercial operations. Our editorial team has complete authority over what we publish and how we rate casinos.
- Casino operators cannot pay for reviews, ratings, or placement
- Reviews are never shown to casinos before publication
- Affiliate relationships do not influence ratings or recommendations
- We disclose all commercial relationships transparently
Review Quality Standards
Our reviews are designed to provide genuine value to readers making important decisions about where to play. We follow industry best practices for high-quality reviews.
Author Attribution & Expertise
Every review is written by an identified expert with relevant industry experience. We believe readers deserve to know who is providing advice and what qualifies them.
- All reviews display author name, title, and experience level
- Authors have verified expertise in the casino industry
- Our editorial team represents 30+ years combined experience
- Full team profiles available on our About page
Content Freshness & Updates
The online casino landscape changes rapidly. Bonus offers expire, policies change, and new features are added. We maintain rigorous update schedules to ensure accuracy.
- Monthly: All casino reviews re-verified
- Weekly: Bonus offers checked for changes
- As needed: Immediate updates for significant changes
Every page displays "Last Updated" and "Last Fact-Checked" dates so readers can verify content freshness.
Affiliate Disclosure
The Low Lay participates in affiliate programs with the casinos we review. This means we may earn a commission when you click our links and sign up.
Important:
- • Affiliate relationships do not affect our ratings or recommendations
- • We review casinos whether they have affiliate programs or not
- • Negative reviews are published regardless of affiliate status
- • Affiliate commissions support our independent editorial work
