Editorial mission
SkinRake aims to help adult readers compare high-risk services with less guesswork. Useful work distinguishes a documented fact from an operator claim, a third-party report from a firsthand observation and an editorial judgement from a guarantee.
Material questions include who operates the service, what its terms require, how funds or items may move, what fairness mechanism is claimed, what restrictions apply and where evidence conflicts or stops.
Source and attribution rules
- Prefer primary sources. Operator terms, regulator registers, official company records and product documentation take priority for what those sources directly establish.
- Date volatile claims. Bonuses, payment methods, fees, licensing status and terms can change. A checked date indicates when SkinRake inspected the cited material.
- Corroborate consequential claims. Allegations about non-payment, ownership or regulatory status require proportionate support and careful wording.
- Preserve uncertainty. Absent, inaccessible, contradictory or stale evidence is marked unverified or unresolved.
Independence and conflicts
SkinRake may receive commission when a reader uses an eligible tracked link. That business model creates an incentive that must be made visible. The same evidence and publication rules apply whether or not an operator has an affiliate relationship.
- Commercial terms do not convert missing evidence into a verified claim.
- A higher commission must not improve an evidence status or editorial placement.
- Paid placements, if introduced, must be visibly labelled and kept separate from editorial comparisons.
- Operators may provide factual evidence or challenge errors, but do not receive editorial approval rights.

Reviews, comparisons and language
Evidence-status labels describe the available source record; they are not safety certifications. Editorial comparisons and ordering should follow the stated evidence criteria and limitations. Prominent placement does not mean an operator is suitable for a particular person or location.
Language implying a hands-on test is used only when the page documents the exact action. SkinRake currently performs primarily public-source desk research. A page must not imply a deposit, wager, withdrawal, KYC check or support contact that did not occur.
Updates, corrections and removals
Material updates should include a current modified date. Evidence-backed factual errors are corrected under the corrections policy. SkinRake does not remove accurate public-interest material solely because it is commercially inconvenient. Material may be removed or restricted when necessary for privacy, safety, legal compliance or because it cannot be supported.
Publication responsibility
SkinRake is responsible for its published material. Consequential claims should be traceable to evidence; invented facts, false firsthand claims and missing verification do not meet the editorial standard.
