Editorial Policy

At HowCents, we maintain strict editorial standards to ensure the information we provide is accurate, current, and presented responsibly. This policy outlines how we research, verify, and publish promotional content.

Last updated: January 29, 2026

1. Editorial Independence

HowCents is an independent editorial platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to any of the brands, casinos, platforms, or services featured on this website.

What This Means

  • No brand control: The platforms we cover do not have editorial control over our content. They cannot dictate what we write or how we present information.
  • Objective presentation: We present promotional information objectively, without favoring particular platforms or exaggerating offer benefits.
  • Independent research: Our editorial team conducts independent research to verify promotional offers and document their terms.

Disclosure

While we maintain editorial independence, we may receive compensation through affiliate relationships with some platforms. This compensation does not influence our editorial content, verification process, or how we present information. We clearly identify promotional relationships where they exist.

2. Verification Process

Every promo code and promotional offer published on HowCents goes through a verification process to ensure accuracy.

How We Verify Codes

  1. Research: Our writers identify promotional codes through official platform announcements, promotional materials, and verified sources.
  2. Documentation: We document each code's offer, requirements, terms, and any restrictions or limitations.
  3. Verification: Where possible, we verify that codes are active and functioning as described.
  4. Editorial Review: A senior editor reviews all content for accuracy, compliance, and adherence to our editorial standards.
  5. Publication: Only after editorial approval is content published on HowCents.

Limitations

We acknowledge that promotional offers can change at any time without notice. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all information is current at all times. Users should always verify current terms directly on official platform websites.

3. Accuracy Standards

We hold ourselves to high accuracy standards in everything we publish.

What We Commit To

  • Only publishing promo codes we can verify through reliable sources
  • Documenting offer terms and requirements accurately
  • Clearly stating when information may be outdated or needs verification
  • Using neutral, factual language without exaggeration or hype
  • Distinguishing between facts and editorial commentary

What We Avoid

  • Publishing unverified or speculative information as fact
  • Exaggerating offer benefits or downplaying requirements
  • Using misleading headlines or descriptions
  • Creating fake reviews, testimonials, or ratings
  • Implying guaranteed winnings or outcomes

4. Update Policy

Promotional offers change frequently. We maintain our content to ensure it remains accurate and useful.

Regular Reviews

Our editorial team regularly reviews published content to check that promo codes are still active and offer details remain accurate. High-traffic pages are reviewed more frequently.

Last Updated Dates

Every page displays a "Last Updated" date so readers know when content was most recently verified. This date reflects when the content was last reviewed by our editorial team.

Status Indicators

We use status indicators (Active, Updated, Expired) to help users quickly identify the current state of promotional offers.

5. Responsible Gambling

HowCents takes responsible gambling seriously. All content related to gambling platforms includes appropriate warnings and resources.

Our Commitments

  • Age Requirements: We clearly state that gambling is for users 18 years and over (or 21+ in some jurisdictions).
  • Risk Warnings: We include warnings that gambling involves risk and users should only gamble with money they can afford to lose.
  • Support Resources: We provide links to responsible gambling support organizations for users who may need help.
  • No Encouragement: We never encourage reckless gambling or promise/imply guaranteed winnings.

Support Resources

6. Corrections Policy

We are committed to correcting errors promptly when they are identified.

How We Handle Errors

  • Minor Errors: Typos, formatting issues, and minor factual errors are corrected promptly without notation.
  • Significant Errors: Errors that materially affect the accuracy of promotional information are corrected with a note indicating the correction was made.
  • Major Corrections: Substantial corrections may be noted at the top of the relevant page.
