About the Editors, Their Sources and Their Funding

What These Pages Publish, and Why

Reviews, guides and reference explainers for one game fill these pages, and nothing else does. Every page names its primary sources: the maker's own page for the game, the RULES document inside the client read end to end, the configuration the game server sends, and two public licence registers that publish a file anyone can download.

Some numbers stay out of reach. Figures that resist verification are printed as not confirmed instead of guessed at, because a reader deciding whether to trust a figure deserves a visible gap rather than a confident guess. Start with the Chicken Plinko review, which is the clearest example of that rule working.

In Short, What a Reader Gets Here

Here's the short version: it's 9 pages about one game, and each figure is printed beside the document it came from. We've no casino accounts, no deposits and no rankings for sale.

If a figure isn't printed by the studio, its game server or a regulator, or measured by us in the demo, it doesn't go on a page. That's the entire editorial rule, and the sections below show how it holds up.

What Should You Check Before You Start?

Three checks are worth making before you start reading anywhere on this site, and they take about a minute. The maker and its running game disagree on the return, so note both figures rather than one.

1. Open the RULES document in the game and note the return it prints for itself.
2. Open the maker's own page for the game and compare its key-facts list with that document, line by line.
3. Look for a licence number on the studio's own site: there is none, so any licence claim you meet for this game has to be checked in the issuing regulator's register.

Then compare what those three documents say before you trust any summary, this one included. A register entry changes rarely; the two studio documents move whenever the maker redraws a page. Explore the reference section for the detail behind each one, and note that all 9 pages carry the date of their most recent check.

Who Writes and Signs These Pages

Every page on Chicken Plinko is written and signed by Théo Garnier, the instant-game tester. Tests one instant game at a time and prints only what the game itself, its maker or a public register will back: opens the title through the studio's own launcher, reads every help screen and the full rules document inside the client so that the figure the marketing page leaves out can be named, pulls the configuration the game server actually sends for stakes, baskets and bonus prices, plays a session captured in screenshots and reads the bet and the balance off the frames afterwards, does the arithmetic behind a ceiling the maker quotes without saying which feature reaches it, and looks the supplier up in the public licence registers that publish one instead of taking a footer at its word. The author profile sets out the method and lists all 9 published pages.

A byline and two dates on every page. Each content page carries them, published and updated. The author profile sets out what stands behind that byline - the recorded session, the screens read and the register checks - and the person who tested the game is the person who answers a correction.

Where the Facts on These Pages Begin

Facts on these pages begin in 3 places, in a fixed order of source. First the game itself, tested in its official free demo with a recorded session. Then the maker's documents, its public game page and the rules text inside the client. Last the public licence registers, opened on the day a page is written to see whether they carry the supplier at all.

The order matters because sources disagree more often than you would expect, and on this game they disagree inside one company: the rules document in the client prints a 96.00% return, and the maker's own game page prints 96.14%.

When that happens the page prints both and names who said what. The game page also prints a 1,000x maximum win that the rules never mention, and the press release prints a hit rate that neither of them carries, so the page sets the surfaces side by side instead of choosing one. A maker can redraw a page without saying so, which is why every figure carries the date it was checked.

What Is Checked Before a Page Goes Live?

Regulation is verified against a register instead of a logo, and on this game every register we could download is silent. Two public licence registers, downloaded in full on 2 November 2026, carry no entry for Onlyplay, and the studio's own site names no legal entity or licence number to check.

Our testing method page describes each step in order. Third-party catalogues are quoted only as what they claim, never as the source of a figure, while competitor review sites stay out of the citation list entirely.

Which Sources Count, and Which Do Not?

The studio provides the demo client, and the screens inside it carry most of the figures these pages quote. Its RULES document is where the running build states its return, while the public game page states a different one and adds a ceiling, so the two are cited separately.

Public licence registers supply the other half of the record here, and the useful question is which of them publish a file anyone can download. A downloadable register answers in minutes; a studio that names no licence leaves nothing to look up; an empty search means something only once the same search has found a supplier known to be in the file.

The gaps belong to the record, not to the reporting. No laboratory certificate names this title, the studio names no licence of its own, and no surface publishes the odds of any basket or bonus. You will find each of those problems printed wherever it matters to you.

3 Sources, Opened in Order

The complete list of steps is short. Our methodology lives on a page of its own: a game verdict rests on 5 criteria, and no casino is graded here at all, because no casino dossier was built; to verify a figure, our editors open the rules document, the game page the maker publishes and the licence registers, in that order.

Readers get the result with their own route back to it. Every figure names the document it came from, so they can repeat the check for themselves, and you can hold a page to the standard it sets.

That standard carries one limitation worth stating out loud. A page read last week can be redrawn this week, so you should treat the date beside a figure as part of the fact.

How This Service Earns Its Money

Money reaches this service in one way only. Some outbound links are affiliate links, and a reader who registers or deposits through one may pay this site a commission at no cost to themselves.

Commissions leave a rating, a verdict or the running order untouched, since operators are ranked nowhere on Chicken Plinko at all. Compared to a paid placement, that is a dull business model, and no payment buys a line on this site. The terms of use repeat this disclosure, and it sits beside the sponsored button wherever one appears.

No operator or game studio pays for coverage, reads the text before publication or supplies their own screenshots. They see a finished page at the same moment you see it, and the published version is the only preview on offer. Frames come from the recorded demo session, and the studio has no say over a single caption.

Independence and Corrections on These Pages

Independence on these pages rests on 2 rules. Both are short enough to be held to, and both of them hold. A page is never edited at an operator request, and a correction is accepted only with a source a reader can open for themselves.

If you spot an error, the contact page sets out how a correction reaches the editors; an accepted one lands on the page and moves its update date, so the history of a fact stays visible for you and for everyone after you. However, where sources disagree, the page prints both figures, names the surface behind each, and says so when the maker itself does not say which one applies, because an averaged number is a made-up number.

Terms Used Across These Pages

Return to player

The share of all stakes a game hands back across a modelled long run, printed for this title as 96.00% in the rules document and as 96.14% on the maker's own game page.

Affiliate link

An outbound link that pays this site a commission when a reader registers, disclosed beside every sponsored button.

Licence register

The public list a regulator keeps, where a licence or account number can be looked up on the day a page is written.

Not confirmed

The wording used whenever no studio page, server response or regulator entry states the figure a reader asked about.

Player Safety on These Pages

Safety comes first. Player safety outranks every other rule on this site, and it binds everyone who writes here. Every page is written for adults aged 18 or over, and a plinko game returns less over time than it collects.

The responsible gambling page sets out the limits worth fixing before play, the warning signs worth acting on, and how self-exclusion works. It prints a helpline only where we have read it in a primary source, and it says which checks stand behind each one.

Predictor and hack pages stay off Chicken Plinko, because the rules say the outcome is random and no sequence a prediction could latch onto is published. The privacy policy explains that this service keeps no reader accounts and sets 0 cookies of its own.

Does a Commission Ever Change a Verdict?

No commission has ever moved a verdict here, and the structure makes it awkward to try: operators are never ranked, so there is no running order for money to buy.

A reader who doubts that can test it cheaply. Read the disclosure beside the sponsored button, then compare its wording with the criticism printed in the same section.

Recap: How These Pages Stay Honest

To recap the promise: these pages publish one game, name their sources, check a supplier against a register where one exists, and earn money through disclosed affiliate links that move no score. If you want one sentence, the rules document is the only return a player can see inside the running game, the game page is named beside it wherever the two differ, and neither is promoted over the other. That is the rule. Player safety and the age rule sit above all of it.

The weak spots in the record stay visible as well. The maker publishes no odds for any basket or bonus, no laboratory certificate covers the title, and the studio names no licence on its own site, so each of those is printed where it belongs. Read how we test it next, then the author profile.
