5-Step Review Process.
If you’re wondering who writes these reviews then we’re all about the transparency. Our expert team of casino writers will be the individuals who visit these sites, test all areas of these sites, and give their honest and experienced views for our reviews.
We don’t do things by half measures here at Punters Lounge though. This is a multi-layered approach to ensuring we don’t get a detail incorrect. So we have adopted a 5-step process for our casino reviews.
Our expert casino writer will visit the site, use the different areas and navigate around the site to get an authentic user experience.
The writer will then compose an in-depth review of the site using the above essentials and guidelines to deliver their verdict.
One of our veteran editors will then fact-check the review to ensure there are no errors or pieces of misinformation within the review.
The review is then posted up on our site for the eyes of you readers.
Punters Lounge will then carry out a regular audit to make sure that the information in the review is kept up to date.
