BigGerz
Pages for UK members of BigGerz are signed Sibylla Quennell. The name is an editorial pseudonym chosen by our team. It does not belong to a person known to the public, and it carries no claimed qualifications, previous employers or personal history.
1. The signature and the role
1.1 Purpose of the signature
A signature fixes responsibility. When a page carries one name, a reader knows whom to address with a correction, and our team knows which pages follow one standard of checking.
1.2 What the author does
The author reads the terms and the cashier, checks the figures, and writes or edits the page.
1.3 What the author does not do
The author does not approve payments, set bonuses, handle complaints about accounts or see account data. Those matters belong to the support team, and the pages direct readers to it.
2. Methodology
2.1 Sources
We write from the terms and pages of our own casino, from the cashier as it displays offers and payments, and from independent reviews that we compare with them. A value is used when our terms state it or when it agrees across sources.
2.2 Checking a statement
- Find the value in our terms or in the cashier.
- Compare it with at least two independent sources.
- If the values differ, use the rule stated in our terms, or leave the number out.
- Check arithmetic by calculating the example again.
- Record the date of the check.
2.3 Conflicting values
Where sources differ on a figure that our terms do not state, we do not print the figure. We describe the rule without it.
2.4 Limits of the signature
No page is based on a deposit, a withdrawal or a bonus claimed by the author. The pseudonym does not test the casino and does not make a personal recommendation.
3. A statement checked in full
3.1 A figure that agrees
The welcome match carries a 40x requirement within 14 days. The value appears in our offer terms and in several independent reviews, and all agree, so pages state it.
3.2 A figure that is left out
No source states the welcome cap in pounds, and reviews give it in other currencies. The cap is therefore not printed on a page in pounds, and the reader is sent to the cashier.
3.3 A figure that disagrees
Reviews give the size of the library as anything from more than 5,000 to more than 8,400 titles. The pages state only the lowest figure on which all sources agree.
3.4 A rule taken from our terms
The withdrawal fee of 8% on a deposit wagered less than once is stated in our terms, and the pages quote it as a rule. Where a reviewer reports a different practice, the terms control.
3.5 A figure given as an example
Worked sums, such as a £40 deposit and a £60 bonus, are labelled as examples. They show how a rule works and do not describe any member’s result.
4. Terms we use consistently
4.1 Glossary
| Term | Meaning on our pages |
|---|---|
| Welcome match | The 150% casino offer on the first qualifying deposit |
| Wagering | The multiple of stakes that must be placed before a bonus can be withdrawn |
| Cashback | A share of losses returned daily, weekly or monthly |
| Rakeback | A share of play returned, 5% daily |
| Verification | The identity check before the first withdrawal |
4.2 Why the same figure appears twice
The welcome match, the wagering multiple and the period appear on several pages because a reader may arrive at any of them. In each place the values are given together.
5. Review calendar and page construction
5.1 How often we review
| Subject | How often |
|---|---|
| Bonuses and wagering | Whenever an offer changes, and at least monthly |
| Payment methods and times | Whenever the cashier changes |
| Verification documents | Whenever the terms change |
| Support channels | Whenever a channel changes |
| Responsible gambling services | Twice a year |
5.2 Who checks
The author drafts, and a second reader compares every number on the page with the record before publication. A page without that second check is not published.
5.3 How a page is built
- The author lists the questions a reader brings to the subject.
- The author finds the value that answers each question and records its source.
- The author drafts the text and removes any statement without a source.
- A second check compares every number on the page with the record.
- The page is dated and published, and the date of the check is kept.
6. Language, units and scope
6.1 Language and units
Pages for UK readers are written in British English. Amounts in worked examples are in pounds sterling. Dates are written day, month, year.
6.2 One subject per page
The registration page deals with the account, the bonus page with offers, the payments page with the cashier, and the app page with the phone. Where a figure is needed on two pages, it is taken from the same record.
6.3 Scope of the signature
The signature applies to pages for UK readers. A figure that holds for one country is not carried to another without a check against that country’s terms, currency and payment methods.
7. Errors and requests
7.1 Reporting an error
A reader who finds an error writes to [email protected], naming the page and the passage. We check the claim against our terms. If it is right, the page is corrected and the correction is dated.
7.2 Versions
When an offer or rule changes, the page is revised and the earlier version is kept in the record. A reader who relied on an earlier text can ask what it said on a given date.
7.3 What readers can ask
A reader may ask which source supports a figure or when a page was last checked. We do not answer questions about an individual account, and we do not give advice on whether to play.
8. Play and independence
8.1 Our duty of care in the text
Every page that discusses an offer reminds the reader that gambling is for adults and carries a risk of loss. We do not describe winnings as expected and we do not suggest that gambling solves financial problems.
8.2 Independent help
We list the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, GamCare and Gambling Therapy.
8.3 Independence of the text
The author does not set the terms of any offer. If an article and the terms disagree, the terms control, and the article is corrected.
9. Records
9.1 What we keep
For each page we keep the date of the last check, the list of values verified and the sources used.
9.2 Access
The records are kept internally and are not published, and a reader may ask what was checked.
