Our editorial standards
Velvet is a player-run community. These are the rules we hold ourselves to so that what you read here stays honest — whether it’s a staff review or a member’s post.
Last reviewed: July 2026
Independence
Reviews and rankings are decided on merit using the criteria in how we test. No brand, advertiser or partner can edit a verdict, remove a complaint, or buy a place on a list.
Affiliate disclosure
Some outbound links to operators are commercial partnerships that may earn Velvet a commission if you sign up. This never changes where a site ranks, what score it gets, or what members are allowed to say about it. Commercial links are marked and always carry rel="nofollow sponsored".
Member content & moderation
- Members own their posts and their honest experience — good or bad.
- We remove spam, personal attacks and anything unlawful, not criticism of a brand.
- Operators are welcome to respond to complaints in-thread; they don’t get them deleted.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and note that we did. Spotted an error in a review or a stale bonus? Tell us at contact and we’ll re-check.
