This policy describes how AI Gambling Daily reports, verifies and publishes. It applies to every story, data page and tracker on this site.
Primary sources first
A story starts from an original document — a regulator’s report or decision, a statute or bill, a court filing, an operator’s or supplier’s filing, or an official release. We link that document in the “Primary source” box on every news article. If we cannot see the original document, we say so, or we do not publish.
Accuracy and verification
- Figures are taken from the source document, not from secondary coverage. Tables state the currency and whether figures are gross or net as defined by the regulator.
- Year-over-year changes are calculated by us from the regulator’s own figures unless the regulator publishes the change itself.
- Before a story is published, software compares the figures in it with the source document. A story containing a figure that cannot be found in, or calculated from, the source is not published.
How stories are made and published
AI Gambling Daily is a small, software-assisted newsroom. We want readers to know exactly how that works.
- Monitoring. Software watches regulator websites, legislatures, courts, company filings and official release pages for new documents.
- Drafting. Stories are drafted with software, including AI language models, working only from the original document. Some routine data stories are built from a fixed template, with every figure calculated directly from the regulator’s own file.
- Automated checks. Every draft is checked by software before it can be published: its figures must match the source document, it must link that document, and it must meet our style rules (for example, no betting calls to action in news). Drafts that fail are held back.
- Publication. Each draft that passes is sent to an editor. Some go live only once the editor approves them. Others are published automatically after a short hold, during which the editor can stop them; the number published this way each day is limited. Automatic publication is used mainly for routine items such as monthly data releases, registry and tracker updates, and game or product releases, but it can apply to any story that passes the checks and is not stopped.
- After publication. When we find an error, or a reader reports one, we fix it and note the change under our corrections policy.
Automated checks can miss things a person would catch, such as a correct figure placed in the wrong context or a quotation that is slightly off. That is why every story links its source document, so you can check it yourself, and why we ask readers to report errors. Responsibility for every published word sits with the AI Gambling Daily Editorial Team.
Independence
Commercial relationships never influence news coverage. News articles and data pages contain no affiliate links. Where we earn money from links elsewhere on the site, the links are marked and explained in our disclosure. Operators and suppliers cannot pay for coverage, review copy before publication, or request changes other than factual corrections.
Headlines, dates and updates
Every article shows when it was first published and, where it has changed materially, when it was last updated. Material changes are noted at the end of the article.
Gambling and harm
We cover gambling as an industry and a regulatory subject. We do not publish content aimed at people under the legal gambling age, and we link to free help on every page. See responsible gambling.
