Common Questions for Our Lead Fact Checker

What is your primary role as a Fact Checker at LiveCasinoRank?

I verify the accuracy of platform claims, audit payout reports, and document live casino operations. My objective is to ensure that every review and listing is a reliable resource for both players and operators in Singapore.

How do you handle the verification of a disputed casino claim?

I trace the data back to the original source, cross-reference platform logs with live recordings, and contact operators for direct clarification. I document every correction clearly so readers can follow the logic behind the final conclusion.

How do you assess the integrity of live dealers during your checks?

I monitor multiple live sessions to observe dealer behavior and game round logs, comparing the results against expected house rules and RNG standards. If I detect any inconsistencies in games from Pragmatic Play or other providers, I escalate the case for a technical audit of the raw session data.

Which tools do you use to verify payouts and platform claims?

I rely on platform-provided logs, recorded live feeds, and official regulatory filings. To verify that payments via PayNow, PayTrust88, or GrabPay are processed correctly, I examine third-party testing lab reports and payment provider records to ensure the data matches the platform's claims.
