Editorial Policy

ThaiGameOnline is editorially independent. Sponsored content is clearly labeled "Sponsored" or "Promoted" and is never produced by the editorial team. Affiliate links may earn us a commission but never influence which products we cover or how we score them.

Every claim of fact in a news story is sourced. Game patches, esports results, and hardware specs are verified against the publisher, official broadcaster, or manufacturer before publication. Reviews are based on first-hand testing — we disclose when a unit was provided by the manufacturer.

We cite primary sources whenever possible. When a story is built on another outlet's reporting, we credit and link to them. Anonymous sources are used only for sensitive industry tips and require corroboration from a second independent source.

Hardware reviews require a minimum testing window and disclose the test bench. Game reviews require completing the main story or playing at least 20 hours, whichever is shorter. Scores from 1-10 follow our published rubric. We re-review when a game receives major content updates.

Some of our news translations and research summaries are accelerated by AI tooling, then edited and fact-checked by a human editor before publishing. We do not publish AI-only content. The byline always names the human accountable for the piece.

Editors disclose personal investments in companies they cover. Free trips, comped products, and event invitations are listed when relevant to a story. We refuse gifts beyond review samples; review units must be returned or paid for unless explicitly retained for long-term testing.
