Glossary
These definitions explain the product terms used in this handbook.
Availability Status: The business state of a Casino within a Market. It is separate from whether the profile is drafted or published.
Bonus Offer: A market-scoped promotional proposition with its own identity, audience, ordering and typed terms. Independent offers remain separate even when their Casino, Market and purpose match.
Brand: The commercial identity under which Casino products are presented. A Brand can present several Casinos; an established Casino has one current Brand association.
Benefit Component: A typed benefit within a Bonus Offer, such as bonus funds or free spins, with its own applicable conditions.
Casino: A gambling product with one stable identity across names, websites, markets, profiles, offers, and contributions.
Casino Profile Draft: An unpublished candidate revision of catalogue content that may combine source claims and editorial changes.
Casino Market: The audience or jurisdiction context in which a Casino's availability and market-sensitive facts are interpreted.
Company: A registered legal entity that may own, operate, or hold a licence for a Casino, depending on its role and context.
Evidence: Retained immutable source material with its origin and capture or manual-admission context. It supports a claim or correction; possession of it alone does not confirm the value.
Editorial Decision: An editor's recorded acceptance, rejection or edit of a proposal. It does not itself publish content or approve a scoring input.
Editorial Proposal: Candidate facts, text or comments submitted for review with supporting claims or evidence. It is separate from both a source claim and a published value.
Editorial Article: An article written for the product and managed as editorial content.
Offer Currency Variant: A source-supported set of Bonus Offer terms for a particular currency, with the stated amounts and conditions. It is not a currency conversion.
Offer Stage: A dependent step within a multi-stage Bonus Offer, connecting a qualifying action to advertised benefit components.
Authentication Identity: A verified email address or Google identity used to prove access to a Product Account. It is not the account itself.
Product Account: The product identity that owns a person's account state and contributions. It is separate from the identities used to sign in.
Product Session: An authenticated period for a Product Account that can end at its set deadline or be revoked earlier.
Public Casino View: The reader-facing presentation assembled from approved Casino content and applicable current product state, such as community data. Retained catalogue content alone is not a complete historical copy of that view.
Published Casino Profile: The currently approved public revision of Casino content for a market and language context.
Publication Snapshot: A retained approved revision of Casino content, including the content and source references as they were published.
Topical Search Result: An article or publicly visible review returned for its relevance to a topic. It does not prove that a related Casino or Bonus Offer meets a factual condition.
Trust Input: An approved, versioned observation eligible for a Casino scoring calculation. Publishing a catalogue fact does not grant that separate approval.
Unified Public Search: The planned public search experience for Casinos, Bonus Offers, articles, game providers, games, and publicly visible reviews.
User Contribution: A review, article, or other supported submission authored by a product user, with its own revisions and moderation decisions.
