Editorial Policy

play-me.org is an independent editorial review platform focused on Play Me by Galaxsys and the broader musical-crash genre. This policy documents, transparently and in full, how our testing procedures work, how ratings are formed, how corrections are handled, and how we manage affiliate relationships. We treat it as a binding commitment to our readers.

Editorial Mission

We cover crash games and online casinos for English-speaking players, with a primary focus on the US market. Our standard: actionable information over promotional aesthetics, concrete numbers over vague adjectives, methodological rigour over marketing rhetoric. Weaknesses are named, not softened.

Team and Accountability

All tests are conducted by a dedicated editorial team with a combined total of more than 14 years of professional experience in iGaming. Reviews are bylined and published alongside verifiable author biographies. Ghostwritten content, unedited AI-generated copy, and sponsored posts are excluded without exception.

Casino Testing Procedure

Every casino recommended on play-me.org passes the following verification steps:

  1. License verification. The stated license number is checked directly with the issuing regulator (Curacao Gaming Control Board and equivalent authorities).
  2. Real-money registration. A live account is created, including full KYC verification; processing time is documented.
  3. Deposit testing. A minimum of $100 deposited via at least two distinct payment methods.
  4. Gameplay test. A minimum of 200 rounds of Play Me or comparable crash titles, spanning multiple stake levels from $0.10 to $100.
  5. Withdrawal test. At least three withdrawals of varying amounts across different payout channels.
  6. Support test. Queries submitted via live chat and email, with response time and answer quality both documented.

A casino is added to our recommended list only after all steps are completed successfully. Listings are reviewed at minimum every six months and corrected or removed as warranted.

Rating System

Casino and game evaluations follow a structured 47-point audit, converted into a final score according to the following weighting:

  • Withdrawal speed: 25 percent
  • License transparency: 20 percent
  • Bonus fairness (wagering requirements, game weighting, max-bet clauses): 20 percent
  • Customer support: 15 percent
  • Game selection: 10 percent
  • App and usability: 10 percent

The resulting score of 0–100 maps onto a 5-star scale. Operators scoring below 70 points are not included in our recommendation list.

Affiliate Transparency

A portion of our revenue comes from affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks one of our recommendation links and subsequently makes a deposit with that operator, we receive a one-time or revenue-share fee. This compensation influences neither inclusion on our recommendation list nor the order in which operators appear.

  • Casinos do not pay for a listing or a favourable position.
  • Rankings are determined solely by the 47-point audit.
  • Operators offering higher commission rates receive no preferential treatment.
  • Affiliate relationships are disclosed in the footer and, where relevant, inline within articles.

Fact-Checking

All numerical claims in our content are verified before publication:

  • RTP values: sourced from Galaxsys's official documentation for Play Me (97.0% RTP), cross-referenced against independent testing lab certificates where available.
  • Bonus terms: taken directly from the relevant casino's terms and conditions at the time of publication. Because operators may update conditions on short notice, we recommend verifying terms before depositing.
  • License data: confirmed with the issuing regulatory authority.

Corrections and Updates

If a claim proves inaccurate, we correct the article promptly. Material content changes are documented with an update note in the article footer. Factual errors are corrected on the record - not quietly deleted. Readers can contact the editorial team at any time at: [email protected].

Responsible Gambling Stance

Gambling is entertainment, not an income strategy for individual players. This position is reflected throughout our content: we avoid "get rich" framing, address addiction risks directly, and link to support resources in every article and in the footer. If you need help, free and confidential support is available from GamCare, BeGambleAware, and the National Council on Problem Gambling. You must be 18 or older to gamble.

What We Do Not Do

  • No "guaranteed strategies" that ignore the mathematical expected-value principle.
  • No promotion of unlicensed casinos or so-called "predictor" applications.
  • No promo codes whose invalidity we have already verified.
  • No paid content without clear, visible disclosure.
  • No review verdicts without an actual, conducted test.

Methodology Updates

This policy is reviewed annually and updated to reflect market developments, regulatory changes, and our own methodological findings. The current version is always available on this page.
