Editorial Policy

Last updated: 16 October 2026

Claret Philippines publishes information about live-dealer casino technology, slot mechanics and licensing regimes for adult players in Canada. This page explains how topics are selected, how claims are verified, which sources count, and what happens when something on the site turns out to be wrong.

Who writes for the site?

Bea Villaruel writes the technical articles. She worked as a live-television broadcast technician in Manila, operating camera positions and vision-mixing desks, and now covers live-dealer studio technology for Canadian readers. Her byline page lists the subjects she handles, which include multi-camera setups, studio lighting, latency, OCR card reading, slot volatility and bonus rounds.

What does the site check first?

Every technical claim about a live studio is checked against the studio’s own technical disclosures or against a live test session that Bea runs herself. Camera counts, OCR accuracy and lag figures are verified this way. Marketing copy is not accepted as evidence for any number, because a promotional page can describe a studio in terms that its own engineering documentation does not support.

When a figure cannot be confirmed through a disclosure or a test session, the article says so and leaves the number out. A reader who wants to know how many cameras a table uses, or how long a card read takes to appear on screen, should be able to trace that figure back to a document or a session rather than to an advertisement.

Where do regulatory facts come from?

Licensing and regulatory statements are drawn from AGCO and iGaming Ontario notices. The site also covers how licensing regimes differ, including an article on how PAGCOR licensing differs from Curacao licensing, and material on UKGC rules. Where a regime is described, the description follows the published notice rather than a summary from an operator’s help page.

How are topics chosen?

• Questions readers send through the contact page about studio technology or slot behaviour.
• Changes to published regulatory notices that affect how Canadian players are served.
• Technical claims that appear across several operator sites and need a source check.
• Gaps in existing coverage, such as latency measurement or OCR performance under different lighting.

How does the site stay independent from operators?

Commercial relationships do not determine what gets covered or how a subject is assessed. Some outbound links earn the site a commission, and those arrangements are set out on the Affiliate Disclosure page. An operator with an affiliate agreement receives the same treatment as one without.

When is a page reviewed?

Pages are reviewed when the underlying terms change, such as a studio updating its technical documentation or a regulator issuing a new notice. Beyond that, the site intends to review each article at least once a year. The date at the top of a page reflects its most recent review.

Corrections

Errors are reported through the contact page. A report should identify the page and the specific claim that appears to be wrong, and include a source where one exists. Reports about figures are checked against the same standard used in the original article, meaning a studio disclosure or a fresh test session.

When a correction is made, the page is updated and the date at the top changes to the date of the fix. Substantive corrections are noted in the body of the article so that a reader who saw the earlier version can see what changed. Minor fixes to spelling or formatting are made without a note, though the review date still updates.
