20x20 Editorial Principles

As part of our commitment to provide transparent and trustworthy content, we feel it's right to share our editorial principles with all our readers.

Independent & Unbiased Reporting

One factor that sets 20x20 apart from other casino comparison sites in this field is our commitment to independent and unbiased reporting. Here’s how we do this:

🛡️ Affiliate DisclosureAlthough we are an affiliate site, our content is unbiased, and we do not allow external brand influences to shape how we write about them.
🔍 HonestyYou have our word that we only feature casino platforms that we’d visit ourselves. We do it this way because we only want to shed light on casinos that truly deserve it.
📊 IntegrityIf a casino we’ve partnered with starts to employ unfair practices and doesn’t follow Irish gambling regulations, we won’t hesitate to end that partnership. This commitment ensures that we prioritize fairness and compliance in all our collaborations.

Accuracy & Fact-Checking

Precision is at the heart of everything we write, which is why all information presented on our page goes through a rigorous fact-checking process. This assures that all of the data we offer to our readers is correct and reliable:

🏆 Initial ResearchFirst, we’ll spend hours finding data about the casino at hand to give you all the information you need, ensuring the review is comprehensive.
🎯 Cross-ReferencingOur dedicated fact-checkers will verify all the information in our content with the actual site in question, together with other sources. For example, if we state that the casino in question has 1000 games available, we would have confirmed this.

We’ll publish content about them only after they’ve gotten our full approval and deemed them completely safe and secure.

It’s a detailed and time-consuming process, but our strict research and editorial standards are the main reasons why we can deliver quality content that you can trust.

Transparency & Ethical Standards

At 20x20, we take ethics seriously and have a few key standards to ensure our content is created with honesty and integrity. Here’s how we do this:

  • 2️⃣ Our reviews are always objective: We look at everything, from customer service to game variety and bonuses, to give you the full picture.

  • 4️⃣ Diversity and inclusion at 20x20.ie: These values are crucial to us. We want to make sure our content is respectful and accessible to everyone.

Player Safety First

Responsible gambling is a top priority for us at 20x20. Gambling should be fun, but when it stops being enjoyable, it can lead to serious issues like financial problems or relationship difficulties. For this reason, you have our word that our editorial team will always promote player safety and provide all the resources you need to do this.

The reason we place so much emphasis on offering resources is that they can help you identify any warning signs of gambling addictions. Awareness of these problems early on will ensure they do not escalate. We also work with independent gambling addiction support groups that you can reach out to. These groups are there to listen to you and are greatly effective in helping you curb your gambling habits. They’ll also help you feel less alone on this journey.

Data-Driven Analysis

Our content is based on solid research methodology that gathers information through verifiable data.

  1. Straight from the Source: When gathering information, we get it straight from the source while also double-checking it against other platforms. For example, if an online casino states that a UK gambling commission licenses it, we’ll double-check that this is correct.
  2. 🌟 Information you can Verify: We’ll also offer helpful information, such as license numbers and link pages to external sources so that you can verify this information for yourself.
  3. ☀️ Our analysis framework: We evaluate casinos based on licensing, payment options, selection of games, customer service quality, and user feedback. Combining numerical data with more subjective experiences can form a complete picture of each casino.
