These terms set out the rules for using PaylinePilot, an informational website about slot games and online casinos. Please read them before relying on anything you find here. By using the site you agree to them; if you do not agree, please do not use it.

About the site
PaylinePilot publishes reviews of slot games and online casinos, explanations of game mechanics and comparisons of editions and operators. It is run by the PaylinePilot editorial team, described on our editorial team page. In these terms "we", "us" and "PaylinePilot" refer to the site and the team that operates it, and "you" means any person who visits or uses the site.
These terms apply to every page of PaylinePilot, including country versions in other languages. Where a translated version differs from this English text, the English text prevails.
We are not a gambling operator
PaylinePilot does not accept bets, does not run real-money games, does not hold player funds and does not open player accounts. Nothing on this site is an offer to gamble. The free slot demos embedded on our pages are supplied by the game providers, run on their servers and use virtual credits with no cash value. Any winnings shown in a demo cannot be withdrawn, and demo results do not predict results in real-money play.
If you decide to play for money, you do so on the website of a third-party operator, under that operator's own terms, license and rules. Your contract is with the operator, not with us. We are not a party to any bet, deposit, bonus, withdrawal or dispute between you and an operator.
Affiliate relationships
PaylinePilot is funded by affiliate commissions. Some links and buttons, usually labeled "Play" or "Visit", lead to online casinos that pay us a commission when a visitor registers, deposits or plays. Using these links costs you nothing extra and does not change the terms the operator offers you.
Affiliate relationships do not buy ratings. Operators cannot approve reviews before publication or require us to remove criticism. The order of casinos in a list reflects our editorial assessment and their availability in the relevant country. More detail on how reviews are researched is on the about page. Click data collected when you use these buttons is described in our privacy policy.
Accuracy of information
We take care to publish accurate figures and to take them from primary sources: game rules and paytables, official demos, operator terms and regulator registers. Even so, the information on this site is provided for general guidance only, and it can become outdated without warning. In particular:
- Providers often release several RTP versions of the same slot, and the operator chooses which to install. The value in the rules screen of the game you actually open is the one that applies.
- Bet limits, bonus buy prices and features can differ between markets and operators.
- Casino bonuses, wagering requirements, payment methods, limits, fees and country restrictions change frequently.
- Licensing status and the legal position of online gambling differ by country and can change.
Before you register, deposit or accept a bonus, always check the current terms on the operator's own website and the rules screen of the game. Where our information differs from the operator's terms or the game rules, theirs prevail. If you find an error, please report it through the contact form so we can correct it.
Nothing on PaylinePilot is financial, legal or professional advice. Slot outcomes are random, every game carries a house edge, and no method or stake pattern can guarantee a win.
Your obligations
By using PaylinePilot you confirm that:
- you are at least 18 years old, or older if the legal gambling age in your country is higher;
- you are responsible for checking whether online gambling is legal where you live and for complying with local laws, including any rules on taxes;
- you will not use the site to try to gamble where it is prohibited, and you will not use tools to hide your location in order to access operators that are not available to you;
- you will not attempt to disrupt the site, access it by automated means that place an unreasonable load on it, interfere with its security or submit unlawful, abusive or misleading content through the contact form.
If gambling stops being fun or starts causing problems, please read our responsible gambling guide.
Intellectual property
The texts, page layouts, comparison tables and original graphics on PaylinePilot belong to PaylinePilot. You may read, print and share links to our pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish or resell our content in bulk, or present it as your own, without our written permission. Short quotations with a link to the source page are welcome.
Game names, logos, symbols, screenshots and demo builds belong to the game providers that created them. Casino names, logos and brand elements belong to their respective operators. We use them only to identify and review the games and services concerned. Their appearance on our site does not mean that any provider or operator endorses PaylinePilot, and we claim no ownership of them. If you are a rights holder and believe material on the site is used improperly, contact us and we will review the matter promptly.
Third-party websites and content
Our pages link to websites and load content, such as demo games, that we do not operate. We are not responsible for the availability, content, security, privacy practices or conduct of those websites and services, including the way operators handle deposits, withdrawals, bonuses, account verification or complaints. A link to a site is not a guarantee of that site.
Limitation of liability
PaylinePilot is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free or that its information is complete, current or suitable for any particular purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content, including gambling losses, lost bonuses, delayed or refused withdrawals, account closures by operators, or decisions you make based on information found here. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you.
Availability and changes to the site
We may update, restructure, suspend or remove any page, feature, demo or country version at any time, for example when a game is withdrawn by its provider or an operator leaves a market.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms from time to time. The current version is always published on this page, and changes take effect when they are posted. If you continue to use the site after a change, you accept the revised terms. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
