Editorial Policy

3 Witch Pots UK is an independent review platform for slot game analysis. These guidelines document how we conduct testing, develop ratings, handle corrections, and manage affiliate relationships. We treat them as a binding commitment to our readers.

Editorial Principles

We review video slots and online casinos serving UK players. Our editorial standard: practical information over marketing language, concrete numbers over vague adjectives, methodological rigour over promotional claims. Shortcomings are named, not softened.

Author and Credentials

All reviews of 3 Witch Pots are conducted by Eleanor Voss, Senior iGaming Analyst, with over 14 years of professional experience in slot game evaluation and casino compliance. Reviews are published under her name with verifiable author credentials. Contract writers, AI-generated content without editorial review, and sponsored material are excluded.

Casino Testing Procedure

Every casino recommended on 3 Witch Pots UK undergoes the following verification steps:

  1. License verification. We confirm the stated license number with the regulator (UKGC, Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao eGaming, Anjouan Gaming Authority and others).
  2. Account registration. We open a real account including full KYC verification and document approval timelines.
  3. Deposit testing. Minimum GBP 100 deposited via at least two separate payment methods.
  4. Game testing. Minimum 200 spins of 3 Witch Pots across different bet levels and all bonus features.
  5. Withdrawal testing. Three or more withdrawal requests at different amounts through various payment channels.
  6. Customer support evaluation. Live chat and email enquiries with documented response times and answer quality.

A casino is recommended only after completing all steps successfully. Listings are reviewed quarterly and corrected or removed as needed.

Rating System

Casino and slot ratings follow a structured 47-point audit mapped to an overall score using this weighting:

  • Withdrawal speed: 25 percent
  • License transparency: 20 percent
  • Bonus fairness (wagering, game weighting, max bet rules): 20 percent
  • Customer service: 15 percent
  • Game selection: 10 percent
  • Mobile and usability: 10 percent

The resulting 0-100 score is converted to a 5-star rating. Operators scoring below 70 are not recommended.

Affiliate Transparency

We earn affiliate revenue. When you click our recommendation link and deposit at that operator, we receive a one-time or revenue-based fee. This payment does not influence which casinos we recommend or their ranking.

  • Casinos do not pay for listing or position.
  • Ranking comes solely from our 47-point audit.
  • Higher commission rates do not result in preferential treatment.
  • Affiliate relationships are disclosed in the footer and inline where relevant.

Fact-Checking

Numerical claims in our articles are verified before publication:

  • RTP values: From official game documentation, cross-checked against iTech Labs or eCOGRA certification.
  • Bonus terms: From casino terms at publication time. Since operators change terms frequently, we recommend verifying before depositing.
  • License data: Verified with the issuing regulator.

Corrections and Updates

If a claim proves inaccurate, we correct it promptly. Significant content changes are marked with an update note at the article footer. False factual claims are corrected, not silently removed. You can contact editorial staff at: [email protected].

Responsible Gambling Position

Gambling is entertainment, not income. This principle shapes our editorial voice: we reject get-rich-quick claims, highlight addiction risks, and link to support services in every article and footer. If you need help: call BeGambleAware.org or GamCare on 0808 8020 133.

What We Don't Do

  • No claimed winning strategies that ignore mathematical expectation.
  • No promotion of unlicensed casinos or prediction software.
  • No promo codes we have not independently verified.
  • No sponsored content without clear labeling.
  • No ratings without actually playing the game.

Methodology Updates

These guidelines are reviewed annually and updated for market changes, regulatory shifts, and our own methodological insights. The current version appears on this page.
