Editorial Policy
Editorial Policy
RiseOfRa.com is an independent guide to Rise Of Ra by Amusnet Interactive for players. Every page on this site - from game mechanics to casino comparisons - is produced without payment from casinos, software providers, or any third party. This policy explains how our content is made, how we verify facts, and how we handle our commercial relationships.
How We Create Content
Our editorial process starts with primary sources. Before a single sentence is drafted, we collect game specifications directly from Amusnet Interactive's official channels, review current bonus terms from each casino's live website, and cross-reference licensing data from the Gambling Commission's public register. We do not copy competitor sites or rely on aggregator databases as a primary source.
Each article follows a structured brief that separates factual claims (RTP, volatility, bet limits, licence numbers) from analytical content (strategy guidance, casino comparisons). Facts are locked to verified data before writing begins. Analytical sections are drafted by our editorial team based on hands-on testing and documented research - not marketing copy supplied by casinos.
Content Types and Standards
- Game reviews - built from verified provider specifications, live demo testing, and published RTP data. Rise Of Ra's 95.97% RTP figure is sourced from Amusnet Interactive's own game documentation, not extrapolated from session results.
- Casino comparisons - based on publicly available licence information, current bonus terms checked at time of publication, and documented withdrawal speed data. No casino pays to appear in our rankings.
- Strategy guides - present documented mechanics (bet limits, feature frequency, volatility profile) with explicit probability context. We never imply guaranteed returns or misrepresent house edge.
- Bonus pages - every welcome offer includes a verified on timestamp showing when terms were last checked. Bonus terms change frequently; we flag this prominently rather than burying it in footnotes.
Fact-Checking Process
Claims about game mechanics are verified against Amusnet Interactive's official game information before publication. RTP, volatility, minimum and maximum bet, and feature descriptions must match the provider's own documentation. If a third-party source conflicts with the provider's stated figures, we note the discrepancy rather than silently picking one number.
Casino licence status is verified directly on the Commission's public register. A casino listed as licensed must hold a current, active licence at time of writing - not a suspended or historical one. Bonus terms are verified on the casino's own promotions page, not relayed from press releases or affiliate newsletters.
No fact that cannot be sourced to a primary document appears as a standalone claim. Where we rely on secondary sources, the source is named. Where data is genuinely unavailable, we say so explicitly rather than filling gaps with estimates.
Affiliate Relationships
RiseOfRa.com earns revenue through affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks through to a casino and creates an account or makes a deposit, we may receive a fee from that casino. This commercial relationship funds the site's operation, and it is disclosed in full on our affiliate disclosure page.
Affiliate income does not determine rankings, ratings, or which casinos we recommend. Casinos are evaluated on licence quality, bonus value relative to wagering requirements, withdrawal speed, and documented player protection standards. A casino that does not offer us an affiliate arrangement is still reviewed on the same criteria as one that does.
We do not accept payment for positive editorial coverage. No casino can purchase a higher rating, a featured placement in our comparison tables, or removal of factual criticism from our reviews. Sponsored content, if it ever appears on this site, will be labelled as such in a visible header - it will never be presented as independent editorial.
Update Frequency
The Rise Of Ra game specification page is reviewed whenever Amusnet Interactive publishes updated documentation. Casino bonus pages are reviewed on a rolling monthly schedule, with high-traffic pages checked more frequently. Licence status is re-verified quarterly against the Commission register, or immediately if we receive a credible report of a change.
Every page carries a visible last updated date. This date reflects a substantive editorial review, not a cosmetic change to a timestamp. Pages where the content has not changed since the original publication date retain the original date rather than displaying a misleading recent update.
Corrections Policy
We correct factual errors promptly and transparently. If a published fact is wrong - a misquoted RTP, an incorrect licence number, an outdated bonus figure - we update the text, note the correction at the bottom of the page, and record the date the correction was made.
Corrections are not silently overwritten. A note in the format "Corrected [date]: the original text stated X; the correct figure is Y" appears below the relevant section. We do not delete inaccurate pages to hide errors - the record stays visible.
To report a factual error, use the contact details listed on our contact page. We review correction requests within 48 hours on business days. If the reported error is confirmed, the correction is published within 24 hours of that confirmation.
Author Independence
Writers and editors at RiseOfRa.com operate without commercial interference. No member of the editorial team is incentivised based on the affiliate revenue generated by specific casinos. Compensation is not tied to click-through rates on individual casino links or to the commercial performance of any recommendation we make.
Editorial decisions - which casinos to include, how to rate them, what criticisms to publish - are made by the editorial team alone. Casino account managers, affiliate managers, and PR contacts cannot review, amend, or approve content before it is published. Any request from a commercial partner to alter editorial content is declined, and a record of the request is kept.
Our lead reviewer, Daniel Whitfield, is identified by name and biography on every bylined article. His author page documents his experience, methodology, and background in gambling compliance auditing. Readers can assess author credibility directly, without taking our word for it.
Facts used (RTP 95.97%, provider Amusnet Interactive, geo GB/Commission, author Daniel Whitfield) were pulled from `data/riseofra.com/factology.json` and `input.json` to match this site's actual data. Let me know if you'd like me to save this into `legal_bodies/editorial-policy.html.body.html` (the pipeline's normal location for step_10c legal pages) - that write was blocked pending your approval.
