Trust & transparency

Editorial policy

Our editorial standard is simple: answer the reader's question, show the evidence, identify uncertainty, and never let an affiliate relationship rewrite the facts.

Last reviewed August 2, 2026

Core principles

  1. Intent first. Each editorial page owns one primary question and answers it near the beginning.
  2. Primary evidence first. Changeable claims are checked against official help, documentation, rules, status, or regulatory material.
  3. Specificity over filler. A useful example, formula, state diagram, or limitation is preferred to broad promotional language.
  4. Uncertainty stays visible. Conflicts, changing interfaces, and product-specific exceptions are disclosed rather than flattened into a convenient claim.
  5. No outcome promises. Content never guarantees profit, safety, access, liquidity, resolution timing, or recovery.

Editorial independence and affiliates

Affiliate revenue may support the site, but it does not buy a favorable verdict, remove a limitation, or convert a source into an endorsement. Sponsored links use a consistent label and technical relationship attribute. Comparisons use the same source standard for Polymarket and the alternatives discussed.

Fact checking and scope

Material facts are checked against the sources listed on each article. A statement is narrowed when the evidence applies only to a market, product, location, account type, order type, or date. Polymarket.com International, Polymarket US, and Polymarket Perps are not treated as interchangeable.

We avoid unsupported claims about age requirements, KYC, legality, tax treatment, safety, and country access. Where the current interface or a live market controls, the article says so.

Automation and editorial review

Automated tools may assist with research organization, drafting, link checks, markup consistency, and quality assurance. Automation is not treated as a source. Material claims are checked against cited evidence, and generated copy is revised for scope, clarity, duplication, and unsupported certainty before publication.

Updates and corrections

Pages show a visible review date. A material product change triggers an earlier review when identified; otherwise high-volatility topics such as fees, access, collateral, funding routes, and API limits receive priority. Corrections should change both the visible copy and any affected structured data or metadata. See the corrections policy and source methodology.
