Editorial Policy — Maxify
Independence from operators
maxify.bet earns revenue when readers follow affiliate links to the Maxify operator and sign up. That relationship pays the publisher, not the writer of a page. No operator — Maxify included — reviews our copy before publication, approves wording or has any say in which bonus we flag as weak or which payment method we describe as slow. If an operator asks for edits in return for better commercial terms, the answer is no, and the ask is logged in our internal transparency file.
The operator's PR team has the same access to our writers as any other reader: they can e-mail the editor to flag a factual mistake. If the mistake is real we fix it and publish a dated correction note. If it is not — for example, the operator does not like how we phrased a wagering requirement — the page stays as written.
We also decline pre-review conversations where an operator asks for a draft before publication. The only pre-publication access is to numbers: if an operator tells us a payout is now four hours, the payments desk verifies that with a test transaction before we change the page. The operator does not see the page itself until it is live.
Editorial principles
We publish under four simple principles:
1. Accuracy beats enthusiasm. A smaller bonus number that is right is always better than a bigger one that is wrong. If the welcome match drops from 150% to 100%, the headline and every mention on the site moves the same day — even when it means pulling a feature slot we had scheduled.
2. Say the quiet part. If the wagering is x50, we say it near the headline, not under three accordions. If a payment method has a weekend delay, we flag it in the summary, not in a footnote. The reader should not have to click through to find the catch.
3. Local first. The Philippines reader is our default — payment rails, currency, regulators and support channels are all PHP-centric. We mention international context only when it changes something material for a PH player.
4. Separation of duty. The desk that writes the review is not the desk that negotiates the affiliate deal. The compliance editor can block any page that fails a responsible-gambling check, even if the bonus desk already signed it off.
These are not aspirations — they are blocking rules in our editorial workflow. A page that violates one of them does not go live.
Corrections policy
Spotted a factual mistake? Write to [email protected] with the URL and a one-line summary of what is wrong. We acknowledge within one working day and, where justified, fix the page the same day. Material corrections — wrong payout time, wrong wagering, wrong licence number — are flagged with a dated "Updated" note on the page itself so readers can see we changed our mind.
Minor corrections (typos, broken anchors, link rot) are made silently. For bigger changes — removing a bonus that was discontinued, re-rating a brand because the operator dropped a payment method — we leave a diff note at the bottom of the page for 30 days and link to the archived old version.
If we got something wrong and the mistake affected a reader's decision materially — for example, we said withdrawals were instant when they were actually two days — we also publish a short post-mortem on the Editorial Team page explaining what broke in our fact-checking workflow and what we did to prevent it next time.
Fact-checking workflow
Every claim about a bonus, limit, licence, provider or payment method goes through two checks: the writer's own verification at the operator site, and a second-editor review against the primary source — operator T&C, regulator database, provider site. Numbers that cannot be sourced to a primary document do not appear on the page.
Where the operator's wording is ambiguous we write to the support desk and keep a copy of the reply. Where the operator's wording contradicts the licence, the licence wins; where the operator's wording contradicts the provider's T&C, we flag both and let the reader see the gap.
Numbers that need recurring verification — payout times, bonus rotation, odds averages — are re-checked on a schedule. Payout times monthly (with a real test transaction), bonus rotation weekly, odds averages per matchday during PBA and UAAP seasons. If a desk cannot refresh its data in the scheduled window, the page carries a visible "last verified" note and gets pulled from the top 10 until the check runs.
What we do not do: trust an operator's press release, copy numbers from aggregator sites, or recycle last season's odds into this season's review.
