Editorial Policy

Last updated: September 20, 2026

Dyutam publishes news, guides, slot reviews, and casino reviews for people who gamble online and want to know what they are actually getting. This page covers where the facts come from, how the reviews get done, who pays for any of it, and what happens when we get something wrong.

Who writes this

Aevan Lark has spent more than eight years in the casino industry, and every news story, guide, and slot review on the site is written here rather than bought in or reprinted from a press release. Where a piece leans on experience instead of a document, it says so plainly and stays with the general case. You will not find invented stories about named operators or players.

How news is sourced

News stories end with a list of sources. When the thing being reported has an original document behind it — a regulator’s notice, a court judgment, an act of parliament, a company’s own statement — that document is what gets linked, not somebody else’s write-up of it. The Stake blocking story links the Irish regulator’s license register and the Statute Book. The Tamil Nadu piece links the state gazette PDFs and the Supreme Court judgment. Trade press gets named in the text where it did the reporting.

A figure that only one outlet has published carries that outlet’s name in the sentence where it appears. When sources contradict each other, the story says so instead of quietly picking the more dramatic version. When a detail has not been established, the story says that too. The Cambodia suspension story states in its own key facts box that an exact national start date has not been verified. That reads as less confident than a round number would. It is also the only honest option.

Slot reviews

Every slot review opens with the same spec sheet: provider, grid, RTP, max win, volatility, bet range, release date. Those figures are checked against the provider’s own game page before they go in. Where a number has never been published anywhere, the field stays empty instead of getting filled with a plausible guess. Hit frequency is the usual casualty, missing from about one review in six.

Every review also embeds the game’s own demo, so you can check the description against the game instead of taking it on trust. The write-up itself is built from published data and recorded play.

One rule never gets dropped: when a game ships in more than one RTP build, the review names every version and says what the low ones cost you. Tombstone Slaughter runs at 96.01% in its headline build, and at 94.08% and 92.05% at operators that choose those. A review printing only the first number is doing the operator a favor, not you. If you want the arithmetic behind the gap, the RTP and house edge guide works it through.

Casino reviews

A casino review names the company that holds the license and prints the license number, so you can look it up in the regulator’s own register yourself. It names the regulator too, because a Curaçao license and a UK license are not the same protection and listing them as though they were is misleading. The cons section is for real objections. “Restricted in major regulated markets” is a con. Filler is not.

Money, and what it does not buy

Some links on the site are affiliate links, and the affiliate disclosure explains how that works and what it costs you, which is nothing. The part that belongs in an editorial policy: a commission does not buy a higher rating, remove a warning, or stop a review being updated when the facts change. Casinos and slots that pay nothing get covered anyway, because leaving them out would make the reviews less useful to you. The verifiers and calculators under tools take no money from anyone, and none of them are built to favor one operator over another.

Corrections and updates

If something here is wrong, tell us and it gets fixed. Write to contact@dyutam.com or use the contact page. Name the page, quote the line, and say what the correct version is. A link to the document settles it faster than an assertion does.

Corrections are made on the page itself. When an article changes after it was published, the date it last changed appears in the header under the title. Slot and casino reviews always show that date, because bonus terms, RTP builds and licenses move.

Gambling is not an income

Nothing on this site is an argument for gambling. You have to be old enough to gamble where you live, and pressing play on a demo here means agreeing that you are. The house edge is arithmetic, not a mood: a 96% slot is built to keep 4% of everything staked through it, and no way of playing a session changes that. Treat the money as the cost of entertainment and stop when it stops being entertaining. The responsible gambling page lists services that help when it has gone further than that.
