Who writes the site
The Gamble Guide is a small independent publication: one editor, named on our About page, with occasional contributors. Articles are credited to "TGG editors". We don't invent bylines, credentials or reviewers.
How we source facts
- Maths (house edges, odds, expected value) is calculated from the game rules, and our calculators use the same formulas.
- Legal and regulatory facts come from the legislation, court judgments and regulators (such as the National Gambling Board), and we link to them. Our legal pages are not legal advice.
- Operator facts (licences, products, payment methods) come from the operators' own sites and the NGB's Verified Operators list. We say when we last checked.
- Sport and event results come from official sources where possible.
We don't claim first-hand testing we haven't done, and we don't publish statistics we can't source.
No rankings, no paid placement
We don't rank operators or give star ratings, and operators cannot pay to be featured. We have one affiliate agreement, with Hollywoodbets. Its links are labelled wherever they appear, and the agreement does not change what we write about any operator or the order we list them in. The About page explains how we are funded.
Responsible gambling
Gambling has a built-in cost. We present it as entertainment, never as a way to make money, and every page carries the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation helpline (0800 006 008).
AI-assisted drafting
AI tools may be used to help draft and check content. Everything published is reviewed by the editor first, and the editor is responsible for it.
Dates
Pages show when they were last updated or reviewed. We change that date only when we have actually checked or changed the content.
Events
We cover a few major South African events. When an event ends, we add the outcome and mark the coverage as archived rather than leaving it to read as upcoming.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it. Email thegambleguide01@gmail.com with the page and the error, and we will review it. Where a correction changes the meaning of a page, such as a wrong fact, figure or legal statement, we add a dated note saying what changed. Typos and small wording fixes are corrected without a note.
