Five scoring fields
- Licence visibility: legal entity, regulator, licence number, source URL, and last-checked date.
- Product scope: whether the exact game category is supported by current official terms or rules.
- Payment clarity: deposit, withdrawal, FICA, fees, limits, and method-specific caveats.
- Responsible gambling: 18+ warnings, limits, time-outs, self-exclusion, and NRGP support.
- Terms clarity: bonus, game, account, withdrawal, complaint, and account-closure terms.
Commercial policy
Commercial value never overrides missing evidence. If a page cannot prove South African licence and product-scope signals, the recommendation is held or converted to an informational caution page.
Update rhythm
Licence and terms pages are rechecked before launch, before material updates, before adding bonus amounts, and when an operator changes product categories or payment routes.
