Editorial Policy

diggersfortune.co.uk is an independent publication devoted to Digger's Fortune. This policy opens the newsroom notebook: what we test, how evidence becomes a rating, where affiliate revenue enters the process and how a disputed claim is corrected.

Editorial Standards

Our UK coverage treats Digger's Fortune as an industry product, not a promotional mascot. We prioritise measurable terms, primary evidence and shortcomings that affect a player's account.

Editorial Team

Named editors remain accountable for every published page. The team brings more than 14 years of combined iGaming work, and each byline links to a biography. Freelance copy, automation or commercial material is never published without an editor checking the underlying evidence.

Casino Testing Procedure

Every casino recommended on diggersfortune.co.uk undergoes the following verification steps:

  1. License Verification. Match the licence reference displayed by the casino to the regulator's own record, whether the issuer is Curaçao, Malta or another jurisdiction.
  2. Real-Money Registration. Open an account and record the complete verification path, including how long KYC takes.
  3. Deposit. Fund at least £100 in total using two distinct cashier rails.
  4. Game Test. At least 200 spins of Digger's Fortune at various bet levels and play modes.
  5. Withdrawal Test. At least three withdrawals at different amounts via different withdrawal methods.
  6. Support Test. Send the same practical question through chat and email, then log speed, accuracy and follow-up quality.

An operator enters the comparison only after the full check is complete. We revisit every listing at least twice a year and sooner when a licence, payment rule or bonus changes.

Rating System

Our 47 checks roll into the published rating through the following weighted categories:

  • Withdrawal Speed: 25%
  • License Transparency: 20%
  • Bonus Fairness (Wagering, Game Contribution, Max Bet clauses): 20%
  • Customer Service: 15%
  • Game Offering: 10%
  • App and Usability: 10%

The audit produces a score on a 0-100 range, which is then expressed on the site's five-point scale. A result below 70/100 is excluded rather than softened into a recommendation.

Affiliate Transparency

The publication is partly funded when a reader follows a tracked operator link. A qualifying registration or deposit can generate a fixed fee or a share of revenue. This commission does not influence inclusion in our recommendation list or the order of listings.

  • Casinos do not pay for listing or preferential placement.
  • Ranking comes solely from the 47-point audit.
  • Commercial terms do not buy a higher rank, a kinder verdict or inclusion in the first place.
  • Affiliate relationships are marked in the footer and where applicable inline.

Fact-Checking

Before a number reaches the page, an editor traces it to supporting evidence:

  • RTP values: against the developer's primary material, with laboratory certificates such as iTech Labs or eCOGRA used when they are available.
  • Bonus Terms: taken from each casino's terms at publication. Since providers may adjust terms quickly, we recommend verification before each deposit.
  • License Data: verified with the issuing regulator.

Corrections and Updates

When evidence shows that a statement is wrong, the page is amended promptly. Material revisions receive a dated note so readers can see what changed. We do not erase a mistake quietly. Corrections and supporting documents can be sent to: [email protected].

Responsible Gambling Position

A slot is paid entertainment, not personal income. Our copy therefore rejects quick-profit claims, explains the risk attached to rapid play and places support routes beside commercial information. Free, confidential help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.

What We Don't Do

  • Reject any 'guaranteed' staking method that pretends the house edge does not exist.
  • Never recommend a casino without a verifiable licence or software that claims to predict future results.
  • No promo codes we haven't already verified as valid.
  • No paid articles without clear disclosure.
  • No test verdicts without actually conducting the test.

Methodology Updates

We re-examine this policy once a year, and immediately after a material regulatory or testing change. The version displayed here is the operative one.
