Editorial Guidelines | Free Poker Club

Free Poker Club publishes poker reviews, comparisons, and learning guides intended to help readers make better choices about free poker products and private poker tools. The site should still be useful even if a reader never clicks through to a PokerWorks property.

Short answer

Every page is expected to answer the query directly, disclose ownership relationships clearly, and explain tradeoffs instead of hiding them behind vague superlatives.

Editorial mission

The site focuses on a narrow topic: free poker, private poker with friends, and practical poker learning content. We do not try to cover every gambling query. Pages are commissioned because they solve a specific reader problem, not because they happen to contain a target phrase.

Research and testing standards

Before a product is recommended, we aim to verify the following where possible:

  • What the product is actually for and who it fits best.
  • How quickly a new player can start a game or join one.
  • Whether private tables, invites, or tournament tools are available.
  • What device support exists across browser, desktop, and mobile.
  • Where monetization pressure, ads, or chip mechanics create friction.

How pages are updated

Roundups, reviews, and evergreen guides should be reviewed when a featured product materially changes, when new evidence affects the ranking logic, or when better alternatives emerge. Pages should carry visible update dates and should not keep stale claims just to preserve rankings.

AI use policy

AI can help with research synthesis, outline generation, drafting support, and production tooling. AI does not get the final say on rankings, review verdicts, disclosure wording, or factual claims that need source verification. Human editorial review is required before publication.

Corrections and transparency

If a page contains a material error, it should be corrected directly rather than quietly buried under newer copy. Corrections that affect a recommendation or rating should be reflected in the visible page content, not only in internal notes.

Ownership and disclosure stance

Free Poker Club is part of the PokerWorks ecosystem. That does not remove the need to explain tradeoffs. If PokerDeck or another related product is recommended, readers should understand why it is being recommended, where it is strong, and where another option may be a better fit.
