Methodology | How We Research, Verify and Update (18+)

Editorial note: This page is for information only; it contains no “play now/bonus/odds” language. If you are under 18, please leave this site. Country-specific rules may apply; always consult official sources and local professional advice.

1) Purpose & scope

Betmarino.bet is an information portal focused on safe access, verification habits, and Responsible Play. We do not provide transactional services. This methodology explains how we plan, research, review and maintain content across the site.

2) Our YMYL & E-E-A-T lens

Experience: We prefer practical, “do-this-now” checklists (e.g., 8-step domain verification).
Expertise: Content is informed by security, privacy and responsible-play good practices.
Authoritativeness: We favour official and primary documentation.
Trust: Neutral tone, clear disclaimers, time stamps, and visible corrections.

3) Source hierarchy (from highest to lower)

We prioritise sources in this order and try to double-verify critical claims.

Tier	What it is	Examples	Notes
1	Official/regulatory/vendor	Regulators, standards bodies, browser/vendor docs	First stop for definitions and rules
2	Primary technical docs	Security headers, protocol specs, implementation notes	We quote minimally; we summarise plainly
3	Academic/NGO/reputable outlets	Peer-review, respected security orgs	Adds independent confirmation
4	Secondary summaries	Industry recaps, blogs	Context only; not sole basis for critical claims

Unclear or conflicting points are marked “Uncertain/Unverifiable” until clarified.

4) Research & verification rules

Double-source rule: Where feasible, critical statements are corroborated by ≥2 independent sources with publish and access dates recorded.
Date sensitivity: When guidance depends on versioning (e.g., browser behaviour), we note the relevant version or change date.
Plain English: We explain steps without jargon where possible; if we must use terms (e.g., HSTS, OCSP), we link to context pages.

5) Drafting workflow (idea → publish)

Intent & outline: Define user task, headings, internal links, and any risk language.
Research pass: Gather sources per hierarchy; identify what requires double-verification.
Draft: Neutral tone, 18+ notices, country caveats where appropriate.
Editorial QA: Check clarity, neutrality, and risk phrasing.
Technical QA: Canonical, internal links, basic schema, performance hygiene, accessibility.
Publish: Add Updated date and (if material) a short “what changed” note.
Periodic review: Re-check content on regulatory or technical changes, or reader feedback.

Details of our standards: Editorial Policy — https://betmarino.bet/en/editorial-policy/

6) Technical hygiene (what we check)

Canonical: One self-referential canonical per page.
Hreflang: Reciprocal pairs across locales (/en/ with /tr/ or /es/ where available) and a sensible x-default.
Schema (JSON-LD): WebPage, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList as applicable. No Review/AggregateRating.
Performance (CWV): Aim for LCP ≤ 2.5s, INP ≤ 200ms, CLS ≤ 0.1 at p75.
Assets: Responsive images (srcset), modern formats (AVIF/WebP), fixed dimensions for hero media to reduce CLS.
Accessibility: Semantic headings, meaningful link text, visible focus states, large touch targets, colour-contrast checks.

10) Short FAQ (informational only)

Why no “play now/bonus” language?

This is a YMYL context. We write neutrally to protect readers and brand safety.

Do you guarantee “100% accuracy”?

No single page can guarantee that. We reduce error by double-sourcing and by marking unclear items Uncertain/Unverifiable.

Do you use reviews or star ratings?

No. We avoid Review/AggregateRating schema. This portal is informational, not promotional.
