Editorial Policy
This page explains how the Galactic Wins content on this site is researched, checked and kept current, and what you can expect if something needs correcting.
1. Editorial independence
Ratings and conclusions are decided by the editorial side alone. Affiliate commission, explained on the Affiliate Disclosure page, has no say in a score. An operator cannot pay to remove a weakness from a page or to raise its rating.
2. Sources we rely on
- Hands-on testing: a real account, real deposits and a real withdrawal request.
- The operator's own published terms, bonus rules and cashier pages.
- Regulators, including the Malta Gaming Authority and New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).
- Official New Zealand support services such as the Gambling Helpline NZ and the Problem Gambling Foundation.
3. Fact-checking
Every number on the Galactic Wins page, from the NZ$7 no-deposit credit to the 40x wagering and the NZ$5,000 monthly cap, is checked against the operator's live pages before publication and at each update. Where a figure cannot be confirmed, we say so rather than guess.
4. Attribution
When we rely on a regulator, a support service or an outside source, we name it and link to it. We do not present other people's findings as our own testing.
5. Authorship and tools
The Galactic Wins page is written and reviewed by Jake Pollard. Software tools may help with drafting or formatting, but every claim is checked by a person and the author is responsible for what is published.
6. Corrections and updates
Errors are fixed as soon as they are confirmed, and the "Last updated" date is revised. Readers and operators can flag problems through the Contact page with the URL, the claim and a source.
7. Freshness
Casino offers change often. The main page is reviewed regularly and whenever the operator changes its welcome package, payment methods or key terms.
8. Conflict of interest
Writers do not hold commercial interests in the operators they rate. Any relationship that could look like a conflict is disclosed.
9. Reader safety
Every page carries an 18+ message and a link to free help. We do not describe gambling as a source of income, and we do not target anyone under 18. Safer-play guidance is on the Responsible Gambling page.
10. Complaints and right of reply
If you think a page is unfair or inaccurate, tell us through the Contact page. Operators get the same right of reply as readers, under the same evidence rules.
