Editorial Guidelines

Written by: Filip Gromovic Reviewed by: Nashon Khamala

Welcome to FreeSlots99, a place where you’ll find all the helpful information you could possibly need for an immersive gaming experience. We offer thousands of free slots that you can try, but we also deliver unbiased reviews and blogs about games and operator sites. Here’s a breakdown of our editorial guidelines to show you the effort put into these and why you should trust them.

Objective and Independent Perspective

The main goal of our team is to deliver factual and verified information on casinos and games based on our personal perspective. Of course, we don’t include our personal preferences in the blogs, but we rather use an independent approach and you’ll hear all about it based on our gaming experiences.

Our independence brings a lot to the table for the readers, since you can rest assured that we are not using paid affiliates as a way of promoting third-party websites. Instead, we’ll give you our findings from a player’s perspective, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of our reviews.

Accuracy and Fact-Checking

We want to make sure that every single piece of written content you’ll find on our platform is double-checked and approved by editors according to our editorial principles. That means you’ll never have to wonder if something we’ve included in our reviews is true or not, and we use a specific approach to fact-checking:

  • We check the gambling operators and games according to local regulatory authorities and their official websites.
  • We visit the official web pages of game providers and casino operator sites to verify information firsthand.
  • When it comes to gameplay features, we spend hours playing slots to deliver proven and vetted info on bonuses and mechanics.
  • We reach out to providers and casino websites through official accounts and support channels to get a better perspective on our inquiries.
  • We never include third-party data or information that hasn’t been verified by our team members.

The fact-checking process starts with our writers, who are dedicated to doing a lot of work right from the get-go. Our team members are experienced in playing online games and reviewing casino providers, and after the draft is prepared, our experienced editors take over. They get in touch with official providers and operators to double-check all the nuances and details that could be crucial for your gaming experience.

Ethical and Responsible Journalism

The focus of our content is on delivering meaningful information to players and our readers. If you’re wondering how we can do it without earning a penny, we are not running away from the possibility of affiliate programs. If we recommend a site that runs such a program and you join through our platform, we might earn a commission. 

However, our site started back in 2015 commission-free and we didn’t have a source of revenue at first, which clearly indicates dedication to our readers. We strive to bring you reviews that you can trust. So even if we agree on an affiliate deal, we always put one major condition in front of our partners.

It’s always leaving the rankings and reviews to us, and we alone determine the placements of certain games and operators on our lists through firsthand reviews. We started as players, and we remain players and enthusiasts like yourself to this day, and that’s why we’ll always continue honestly reporting on games and operators.

Ongoing Improvement of Editorial Standards

To keep our reviews accurate and always maintain our user-centric approach, we are always working on our editorial standards. If that means improving them or even changing them altogether for the sake of our integrity and the content’s quality, then so be it.

We are not saying that our guidelines are the best in the business, but we’re trying to keep them reader-oriented for the sake of our reviews. So, whenever the tides change in the iGaming industry (which happens quite often frankly), our team of editors is ready to take it on and adjust to the changes. 

At FreeSlots99, we believe that the only way to grow as a brand is to keep up with industry standards, and that includes editorial standards as well. Of course, we’ll try to come out on top of our competitors, but only if it’s possible through honest reporting and unbiased takes.

Our Distinct Editorial Approach

If you’re wondering what makes our rating and articles reviews special, we guess it’s just our passion for the game. Every single one of us is a slots lover at heart, so we take our editorial approach seriously by using our firsthand experience and making sure that you get a completely transparent and double-checked end result.The only way to achieve this is by adding some posting guidelines along the way, and each member of our team has a say in it. It’s good to have you here, so we’ll try to keep you around with engaging, yet uniquely-published content.
