Editorial Guidelines

3-witch-pots.com is an editorial review platform. These guidelines document transparently how our testing procedures work, how ratings are created, how corrections proceed, and how we handle affiliate commissions. We understand them as a commitment to our readers.

Editorial Mission

We report on slot games and online casinos for UK players. Our reporting prioritizes useful information over marketing aesthetics, concrete numbers over vague claims, and methodological rigor over marketing rhetoric. Shortcomings are named, not downplayed.

Editorial Team

All tests are conducted by a dedicated editorial team with over 14 years of combined iGaming experience. Reviews are signed by name and published with verifiable author biography. Commissioned writers, unedited AI-generated content, and sponsored posts are excluded.

Casino Testing Process

Every casino recommended on 3-witch-pots.com goes through the following verification steps:

  1. License Verification. The stated license number is verified with the issuing regulator, including the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao eGaming, and others.
  2. Real Money Registration. Account creation including KYC verification; processing time is documented.
  3. Deposit. A minimum of £100 via at least two different payment methods.
  4. Game Test. At least 200 spins of 3 Witch Pots on different bet levels.
  5. Withdrawal Test. At least three withdrawals with different amounts via various withdrawal methods.
  6. Customer Support Test. Inquiries via live chat and email with documented response time and answer quality.

A casino is only added after successfully completing all steps. Listings are reviewed at least twice yearly and corrected or removed if necessary.

Rating System

Casino and game reviews follow a structured 47-point audit that converts into an overall rating with the following weighting:

  • Withdrawal Speed: 25 Percent
  • License Transparency: 20 Percent
  • Bonus Fairness (Wagering, Game Weighting, Max Bet Clauses): 20 Percent
  • Customer Service: 15 Percent
  • Game Selection: 10 Percent
  • App and Usability: 10 Percent

The resulting score of 0-100 is mapped to a 5-star scale. Providers with less than 70 points are not added to our recommendation list.

Affiliate Transparency

Part of our revenue comes from affiliate commissions. When a user clicks one of our recommendation links and makes a deposit with that provider, we receive a one-time or revenue-based payment. This compensation does not influence whether a casino is added to our recommendation list or their ranking.

  • Casinos do not pay for a listing or favorable position.
  • Rankings are based solely on the 47-point audit.
  • Providers with higher commission rates do not receive preferential treatment.
  • Affiliate relationships are marked in the footer and where appropriate inline.

Fact Checking

Numerical data in our articles is verified before publication:

  • RTP Values: From official developer documentation, cross-checked against iTech Labs or eCOGRA certificates.
  • Bonus Terms: Taken from each casino's terms at the time of publication. Since providers can adjust conditions quickly, we recommend verification before any deposit.
  • License Data: Looked up with the issuing regulator.

Corrections and Updates

If any information proves incorrect, we correct the article promptly. Significant changes are documented with an update note at the bottom. False factual claims are corrected, not silently removed. Notices to our editorial team can be sent to: [email protected].

Responsible Gambling Policy

Gambling is entertainment, not a business model for the individual player. This position is reflected in our content: we avoid 'get rich quick' rhetoric, highlight addiction risks, and link to support resources in every article and the footer. For help: Gamblers Anonymous on 0207 384 3060 or gambleaware.co.uk.

What We Don't Do

  • No 'guaranteed strategies' that ignore mathematical expected value principles.
  • No promotion of unlicensed casinos or so-called 'predictor' applications.
  • No defunct promotional codes or offers we cannot verify as currently active.
  • No sponsored content without clear disclosure.
  • No review ratings without actually testing the product.

Methodology Updates

These guidelines are reviewed annually and updated for market developments, regulatory changes, and our own methodological findings. The current version is always available on this page.
