Editorial Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Our Mission

StakeWorldwide exists to be the most trusted, comprehensive, and independent resource for Stake.com users worldwide. We believe that players deserve access to accurate, unbiased information — regardless of where they live or how experienced they are with crypto gambling.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is produced independently of any commercial partnerships. Affiliate relationships, sponsorships, or advertising arrangements never influence our rankings, reviews, or recommendations.

When we review a VPN, rank a service, or recommend a strategy, those opinions are based solely on our own testing and research. If a product is bad, we say so — even if we have an affiliate relationship with the provider.

How We Research and Write

Every article on StakeWorldwide follows a consistent editorial process:

Research phase

We consult official sources (platform documentation, regulatory filings, government websites), independent test data, and user community feedback. For VPN reviews, we conduct hands-on testing over a minimum of two weeks from multiple geographic locations.

Writing phase

All content is written by our editorial team. We prioritize clarity, accuracy, and usefulness. Articles aim for a minimum of 1,500 words to ensure thorough coverage. We avoid jargon without explanation and always define technical terms on first use.

Review phase

Every article is reviewed by at least one other team member before publication. Factual claims are cross-referenced against primary sources. Legal and regulatory information is verified against current legislation.

Update cycle

We review and update our content on a rolling basis. High-traffic articles such as VPN rankings and country guides are reviewed monthly. All articles display a "Last updated" date so readers can assess currency. If an article becomes significantly outdated, we either update it or remove it — we never leave stale information live on the site.

How We Rank and Score

Our VPN rankings and product scores are based on weighted criteria that we disclose in each review:

  • Connection reliability and success rate (25%)
  • Speed and latency performance (20%)
  • Privacy and security features (20%)
  • Crypto payment options (15%)
  • Price and value for money (10%)
  • User experience and support (10%)

Scores are updated whenever we conduct new testing rounds, typically every quarter.

Corrections Policy

We take accuracy seriously. If we publish incorrect information, we correct it as soon as we become aware of the error. Significant corrections are noted at the top of the affected article with a brief explanation of what changed and when.

If you spot an error on our site, please contact us through our contact page. We appreciate reader feedback and respond to correction requests within 48 hours.

Author Transparency

All articles on StakeWorldwide are attributed to their author with a visible byline. Author bios are available on our about page, including relevant background and experience. We believe accountability requires transparency — anonymous content undermines trust.

Advertising and Sponsored Content

StakeWorldwide does not publish sponsored articles or paid reviews. If we ever introduce sponsored content in the future, it will be clearly labeled as such and will never be presented as independent editorial content.

We may display advertising on the site. Advertising is always visually distinct from editorial content and does not influence our editorial decisions.
