How Aarav works

How Aarav checks a page before it goes live

He checks each claim against its source: the licence against the regulator's register where one exists, bonus terms against the casino's terms page, and every peso figure in a worked example against the formula behind it.

When a fact cannot be confirmed, the page says it is stated by the casino or missing.

If a number does not add up, I flag it rather than smooth it over.

Questions for Aarav

What do you check first at a new casino?

The licence: the number in the footer, searched on the regulator's register.

How do you check a bonus?

I read the casino's bonus terms and compare wagering, max bet, expiry and caps with what our page says.

How do you make terms readable?

With worked numbers: what 35x on a ₱5,000 bonus means in pesos is clearer than the legal wording.
