Our Standards

Sponsored content

There is no sponsored content on this site. We do not accept paid guest posts, we do not sell banner slots, we do not run native advertising, and we do not run promoted-link units in-article. The only commercial relationship on the site is the referral agreement for the outbound links to RUMMYES itself, and that relationship is disclosed on every page that carries such a link. Operators and networks that approach us about sponsored placement are told the same thing in reply.

Update cycle

Trafficked pages — the welcome bonus review, the APK review, the payment-method roundup — are reviewed quarterly on a published schedule and whenever RUMMYES ships a change that touches a figure we quote. Service pages are reviewed annually or whenever a law or regulation we rely on changes. The last-updated date at the top of each page is honest: it moves when we edit the body, not when we re-save the file to tweak a layout rule or an image path. The exact revision history is stored inside the public repository that backs this site.

Fact checking

Before publication, each page is read by a second member of the team against the sources listed above. The reviewer looks for three failure modes: a figure the author misread (common with the terms page's dense tables), a figure that was correct at the time of first draft but shifted while the article was being written (uncommon but non-trivial), and a claim that is correct in isolation but misleading in context (hardest to catch). Pages that fail the second-read are returned to the author with a note; a page cannot be published while any fact-check question remains open.

Principles

Our principles are simple enough to fit on one sheet. We publish only what we can verify. We update when the operator updates. We mark the limits of our own knowledge rather than hiding them. We do not accept commercial clauses that would restrict wording. We correct errors in public and keep the correction visible after it is resolved. We treat the reader's time as the scarce resource — short pages win over long pages that repeat themselves. These principles are reviewed annually by the editor and the technical lead; disagreements, if any, are logged and resolved in writing before the review is accepted.

Independence from operators

The editorial team decides what gets covered and in what tone. Commercial agreements with RUMMYES — the referral agreement that funds this site, in particular — do not grant veto power over wording, do not entitle the operator to a review before publication, and do not require us to omit unflattering facts. Where a bonus is weaker than the market, we say so on the same page as the sign-up link. The agreement is non-exclusive: we are not required to recommend RUMMYES over a competitor, and we are not bound by a referral quota.

Sources

Every quoted figure traces back to one of four sources: the RUMMYES help centre, the public terms attached to a specific promotion at the time it was first indexed, the operator's app-store listing for the APK or iOS build, or a test transaction performed by the editorial team from an Indian account. Figures that are derived rather than quoted — a median withdrawal time, a sample success rate — are labelled with the sample size and the measurement window inline. We do not quote press releases as sources on their own; a press release is a lead, not a fact.
