Editorial Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Top5OnlineCasinos publishes rankings, reviews and guides about social and sweepstakes casinos. This policy explains how that content is produced and kept honest.

Independence

Our editorial team decides which companies to review, what to say about them and how to score them. Advertisers do not review, approve or edit our content before publication. Compensation we receive affects where a company may appear on a page, as explained in our Advertising Disclosure, but it never changes the score we assign or the facts we report.

How we research

We register real accounts, claim the offers, play the games, contact customer support and complete a prize redemption on every site we recommend.
We read the full terms and conditions and sweepstakes rules, and we note state exclusions and age requirements.
We check licensing, company history and public customer feedback across review platforms and app stores.

Accuracy and updates

Offers change frequently. We review every listing at least monthly and whenever a company notifies us of a change. The "Updated on" date at the top of each page shows when it was last reviewed. If you spot an error, email hello@top5onlinecasinos.org and we will correct it promptly.

Responsible gaming

We only feature operators that offer a free method of entry, publish clear sweepstakes rules and provide account tools such as purchase limits and self-exclusion. Every page carries responsible gaming information and a link to our Responsible Gaming resources.

Corrections

Material corrections are made in place and the page date is updated. We do not remove or alter published reviews at the request of an advertiser.
