Updated We read the operator paperwork
This is the running part of the site. The section pages and the operator files are kept up to date in place; the blog is where a change gets written down when it happens — a rule that moved, a room that opened or closed its doors to a state, a payment method that quietly stopped working, a court filing worth reading in full. Each post says what we checked and when, and links the paperwork so you do not have to take our word for it.

What gets a post and what does not
A post has to change something a player would do. A promotion ending, a state opening a licence window, an operator changing the terms on withdrawals, a payment route closing — those go up. A press release restating what everyone already knows does not, and neither does a rumour with no filing behind it. When we cannot source a number, the post says so in plain words rather than borrowing a figure from another site.
How a post is checked
Everything we state about an operator comes either from the operator’s own published terms or from a state regulator’s own pages, and the date of that check sits on the page. Legality is always per state here: a room that is perfectly legal for a player in one state is not available at all a border away, so a post that matters only in one state says which one in its first line.
Where the rest of the site is
The operator files sit under their sections, the state pages hold what is and is not available where you are, and the law pages carry the timeline that explains why the map looks the way it does. The full list of every page on the site, grouped by section, is on the site map.
