Editorial Policy

Retro Mega Fruits is an independent editorial review platform. These guidelines document transparently how our testing procedures work, how ratings are created, how corrections are handled, and how we manage affiliate commissions. We understand them as a commitment to our readers.

Editorial Mission

We review video slot games and online casinos for UK players. Our reporting prioritises useful information over marketing aesthetics, concrete numbers over vague claims, and methodological rigour over marketing rhetoric. Weaknesses are named, not downplayed.

Editorial Personnel

All testing and review content on Retro Mega Fruits is created by Nina Kovacs, Senior iGaming Analyst - Retro Mega Fruits Specialist. Articles are published under this verified author identity. We exclude contract writers, AI-generated content without human editorial review, and sponsored articles.

Casino Testing Procedure

Every casino recommended on Retro Mega Fruits undergoes the following verification steps:

  1. Licence verification. The stated licence number is verified with the issuing regulator (UK Gambling Commission, Curaçao eGaming, Malta Gaming Authority and others).
  2. Live-money registration. Account creation including KYC verification; processing time is documented.
  3. Deposit. A minimum of £50 across at least two different payment methods.
  4. Game test. At least 200 spins of Retro Mega Fruits at different bet levels.
  5. Withdrawal test. At least three withdrawals of different amounts using different payment methods.
  6. Support test. Queries via live chat and email with documented response times and quality.

A casino is only added after successfully completing all steps. Listings are reviewed at least twice yearly and corrected or removed if necessary.

Rating System

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

  • Withdrawal speed: 25%
  • Licence transparency: 20%
  • Bonus fairness (wagering, game weighting, max-bet clauses): 20%
  • Customer service: 15%
  • Game selection: 10%
  • App and usability: 10%

The resulting score from 0-100 is mapped to a 5-star scale. Providers scoring below 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 deposits with the corresponding provider, we receive a one-time or revenue-based payment. This payment does not influence whether a casino is added to our recommendation list or its position in the rankings.

  • Casinos do not pay for a listing or a preferred position.
  • Ranking is determined solely by the 47-point audit.
  • Providers with higher commission rates receive no preferential treatment.
  • Affiliate relationships are disclosed in the footer and, where relevant, inline.

Fact-Checking

Numerical claims in our content are verified before publication:

  • RTP values: from official developer documentation, verified against iTechLabs or eCOGRA certificates where available.
  • Bonus terms: taken from each casino's terms at publication time. Since providers adjust conditions frequently, we recommend verification before depositing.
  • Licence data: checked with the issuing regulator.

Corrections and Updates

If a statement is found to be incorrect, we correct the article promptly. Significant content changes are documented with an update notice at the bottom of the article. Factual errors are corrected, never removed silently. Feedback for the editorial team can be sent anytime to: editorial@retromegafruits.com.

Stance on Responsible Gambling

Gambling is entertainment, not a business model for individual players. This position reflects throughout our content: we avoid 'get rich' messaging, highlight addiction risks, and link to support services in every article and the footer. For help: National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133 (free and confidential) or GamStop for self-exclusion.

What We Don't Do

  • No 'guaranteed strategies' that ignore mathematical expected value.
  • No promotion of unlicensed casinos or so-called 'predictor' applications.
  • No promo codes we've already verified as non-working.
  • No paid articles without clear labelling.
  • No test verdicts without an actual test having been performed.

Methodology Updates

These guidelines are reviewed annually and adapted to market developments, regulatory changes, and our own methodological insights. The current version is always available on this page.
