Q&A With Iliana
How do you verify a new claim about a sportsbook?
I trace the original source, check official license registries, and compare the claim against the sportsbook’s specific terms and conditions. If I find a discrepancy, I reach out to the operator or consult other reliable industry sources for clarification.
What do you do when different sources report conflicting information?
I prioritize primary sources such as government regulators, official legal documents, and the sportsbook’s own terms. If the uncertainty persists, I explain the conflict to our readers and provide the most credible evidence available.
Which resources are most important in your fact-checking work?
Licensing databases, sportsbook rulebooks, and payment provider details for services like MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money are essential. I also use archived webpages to verify how operators have presented their services over time.
What common mistakes do you see in sports betting claims?
The most frequent issues involve misleading bonus terms, unclear wagering requirements, and outdated licensing details. I focus on clarifying these points so Rwandan punters understand the actual conditions behind any offer.
