How we edit and how we get paid
Returnly exists to mark where a high return starts, and a marker is only worth what stands behind it. Every text here passes editorial proofreading, review figures come from game data, and partner links together with commercial agreements are how we are paid.
How is Returnly paid?
Some pages on Returnly carry links to partner casinos, and a reader who follows one of those links may earn us a reward. That reward is one of the ways this website is paid, and payment does shape what a reader sees in a casino list: where a page lists casinos, what goes into the list and the order it appears in are set by commercial agreements, and the result can depend on the reader's country. A high slot in such a list is a paid position, not a verdict on quality. Each casino behind a link is also an external website with its own rules and policies, so the terms that apply after the click belong to that casino, not to us.
Are the figures on a review page typed in?
No. The key figures of a game sit on its review page as values pulled from the game data, not written out as text. That separation keeps each figure tied to the game itself rather than to a sentence someone typed about it, which matters when the whole point of a review is the gap between one title's return and another's. Win multipliers are the figures that do appear in the wording, and each multiplier that appears in a review is checked against the game data before publication, so a multiplier in the text has already been matched to the data it describes.
Are the materials proofread?
Yes. Every material on Returnly goes through editorial proofreading. That step is what stands between a first draft and the wording a reader meets: phrasing is read, slips are caught, and the text is settled before it carries a figure or a comparison. Someone weighing one high-return title against another can treat what they read as settled text rather than raw notes, because the same editorial check runs across the materials. For a site whose subject is the line between an average return and a high one, checked wording is what keeps that line drawn in the same place on every page.
Where does the game data come from?
Every game figure on Returnly comes from a catalogue of game data, and the source behind that catalogue is not named. For the reader, the arrangement has one practical effect: the catalogue is where the numbers live, so the figure attached to a title is that catalogue's figure for the title. Because all figures come out of the same catalogue, one title's return can be set against another's on the same footing, which is the comparison a reader comes here to make.
