Editorial Guidelines

cash-show.com is an editorial review platform. These guidelines document transparently how our testing procedures work, how ratings are generated, how corrections are made, and how we handle affiliate commissions. We understand them as a commitment to our readers.

Editorial Standards

We report on instant cashout games and online casinos. Our reporting standard: useful information over marketing aesthetics, concrete numbers over adjectives, methodical rigor over marketing rhetoric. Deficiencies are named, not downplayed.

Editorial Team

All tests are conducted by a permanent editorial team with more than 14 years of combined experience in iGaming. Reviews are signed by name and published with verifiable author biography. Contract writers, AI-generated content without editorial review, and sponsored articles are excluded.

Casino Testing Procedure

Every casino recommended on cash-show.com goes through the following verification steps:

  1. License verification. The stated license number is verified with the issuing regulator (Malta Gaming Authority, Curacao eGaming, Anjouan Gaming Authority, and others).
  2. Real money registration. Account creation including KYC verification; processing time is documented.
  3. Deposit. A minimum of 100 euros through at least two different payment methods.
  4. Game testing. At least 200 rounds of Cash Show or comparable instant cashout games.
  5. Withdrawal testing. At least three withdrawals with different amounts through various withdrawal methods.
  6. Support test. Inquiries via live chat and email with documented response time and answer quality.

A casino is only added after successfully completing all steps. Listings are reviewed at least every six months and corrected or removed as needed.

Rating System

Casino and game ratings follow a structured 47-point audit, which is converted to an overall score using the following weighting:

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

The resulting score of 0-100 is mapped to a 5-star scale. Providers with fewer than 70 points are not included in our recommendation list.

Affiliate Transparency

Part of our revenue comes from affiliate commissions. When a user clicks one of our recommendation links and subsequently makes a deposit with the corresponding provider, we receive a one-time or revenue-based payment. This payment does not influence inclusion in the recommendation list or the order of listing.

  • Casinos do not pay for a listing or a favorable position.
  • The order results exclusively from the 47-point audit.
  • Providers with higher commission rates receive no preferential treatment.
  • Affiliate relationships are marked in the footer and inline as needed.

Fact-Checking

Numerical figures in our articles are verified before publication:

  • RTP values: from official developer documentation, cross-checked against iTech Labs or eCOGRA certificates.
  • Bonus terms: taken from each casino's terms and conditions at time of publication. Since providers can adjust terms quickly, we recommend verification before any deposit.
  • License data: checked with the issuing regulator.

Corrections and Updates

If information is found to be inaccurate, we correct the article promptly. Significant content changes are documented with an update note at the bottom of the article. False factual claims are corrected, not silently removed. Feedback for the editorial team can be sent anytime to: [email protected].

Stance on Responsible Gaming

Gambling is entertainment, not a business model for individual players. This position is reflected in our articles: we avoid get rich quick rhetoric, point out addiction risks, and link to help resources in every article and footer. If you need help: BZgA helpline 0800 1 372 700 (free and anonymous).

What We Do Not Do

  • No guaranteed strategies that ignore mathematical expected value principles.
  • No promotion of unlicensed casinos or so-called predictor applications.
  • No promo codes whose non-purchase we have already verified.
  • No paid articles without visible labeling.
  • No test verdicts without actual testing performed.

Methodological Updates

These guidelines are reviewed annually and updated for market developments, regulatory changes, and our own methodological findings. The current version is available on this page.
