Editorial Policy

chicken-road-2.best is an editorial review platform. These guidelines transparently document how our testing procedures work, how ratings are created, how corrections are handled, and how we manage affiliate commissions. We view them as a commitment to our readers.

Editorial Independence

We report on online casino games and online casinos. Our reporting prioritizes practical information over marketing aesthetics, concrete numbers over vague adjectives, methodological rigor over marketing rhetoric. Shortcomings are identified, not downplayed.

Editorial Team

All tests are conducted by a dedicated editorial team with more than 14 years of combined iGaming experience. Reviews are signed with author bylines and verifiable author biographies. Commissioned writers, AI-generated content without editorial review, and sponsored articles are excluded.

Casino Testing Procedures

Every casino recommended on chicken-road-2.best goes through the following verification steps:

  1. License Verification. The stated license number is verified with the issuing regulator (Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao eGaming, Anjouan Gaming Authority, etc.).
  2. Real Money Registration. Account setup including KYC verification; processing time is documented.
  3. Deposit. Minimum amount of $100 via at least two different payment methods.
  4. Game Testing. At least 200 rounds of Chicken Road 2 2 2 or comparable online casino games at different difficulty levels.
  5. Payout Testing. At least three withdrawals with different amounts via different payout methods.
  6. Support Testing. Inquiries via live chat and email with documented response time and quality.

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

Rating System

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

  • Payout Speed: 25 percent
  • License Transparency: 20 percent
  • Bonus Fairness (Wagering, Game Weighting, Max-Bet Clauses): 20 percent
  • Customer Service: 15 percent
  • Game Selection: 10 percent
  • App and Usability: 10 percent

The resulting score of 0,100 is mapped to a 5-star scale. Providers with fewer than 70 points are not added to our recommendation list.

Affiliate Transparency

Some of our revenue comes from affiliate commissions. When a user clicks one of our recommendation links and subsequently makes a deposit with the corresponding provider, we receive a one-time or revenue-based commission. This commission does not influence inclusion in the recommendation list or ranking.

  • Casinos do not pay for listing or favorable positioning.
  • The ranking is based solely on the 47-point audit.
  • Providers with higher commission rates do not receive preferential treatment.
  • Affiliate relationships are disclosed in the footer and, if necessary, inline.

Fact-Checking

Numerical claims in our articles are verified before publication:

  • RTP Values: from official game developer documentation, additionally verified against iTech Labs or eCOGRA certificates.
  • Bonus Terms: taken from each casino's terms and conditions at the time of publication. Since providers can adjust terms quickly, we recommend verifying before each deposit.
  • License Data: verified with the issuing regulator.

Corrections and Updates

If a claim proves to be incorrect, we correct the article promptly. Significant content changes are documented with an update note in the article footer. False factual claims are corrected, not silently removed. Tips for the editorial team can be sent anytime to: editorial@chicken-road-2.best.

Responsible Gaming Stance

Gambling is entertainment, not a business model for individual players. This position is reflected in our articles: We avoid 'get rich' rhetoric, point out addiction risks, and link to support resources in every article and the footer. Those needing help: Gambling Therapy: free online support 24/7 (free and anonymous).

What We Don't Do

  • No 'guaranteed strategies' that ignore mathematical expected value principles.
  • No promotion of unlicensed casinos or so-called 'predictor' applications.
  • We don't promote promo codes that don't work.
  • No paid content without clear disclosure.
  • No test verdicts without actually conducting the test.

Methodological Updates

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