Source discipline
Put the jurisdiction before the headline
A casino rule change is not a worldwide rule change. Start with who issued it and where it applies.
Identify the source
A regulator’s publication can be an announcement, consultation, final rule or enforcement decision. Those are different kinds of evidence. Record the issuing body, publication date and document type before summarising the practical effect. Where an effective date is specified, keep it separate from the date of the announcement.
Keep the place attached
For readers considering gambling in Great Britain, the Gambling Commission is a primary starting point. A document from Malta, Nevada or another jurisdiction answers a different question. An overseas licence should not be presented as evidence that a service is authorised for a reader in Great Britain.
Link the original
Our source desk takes readers to official websites rather than copying a changing register into a static ranking. Always check the original record for the current position. This publication helps organise reading; it does not issue licences, certify operators or determine a reader’s legal eligibility.
