Editorial policy: how we choose, check and correct what we say about Astronaut
Online gambling is not legal or regulated in Pakistan, so no regulator oversees what a publisher like us writes. The rules below are our own and they are published so that you can hold us to them.
What are our principles?
- Sourced or labelled. Every figure about Astronaut points to the studio’s game card, the official demo or a named report. If the studio does not publish it, the page says “not disclosed”.
- Pakistan first. The status of online gambling in Pakistan opens our main pages and is repeated in the footer of every page, so it is never buried in one corner.
- The “up to” rule. A bonus is a ceiling, written “600% up to Rs 3,000,000” and never as a bare amount. What you receive depends on your deposit and the casino’s terms.
- No promise of results. Astronaut is a game of chance. A declared RTP of 98% means that over a very long run, on average, Rs 98 comes back for every Rs 100 staked. It describes the average of all rounds, not your evening.
- Commissions do not edit text. The partner casino cannot write, approve or block a sentence on this site.
- Protect the reader. Every page carries the 18+ line, the Pakistan status and a route to free help.
Which topics do we cover, and which do we refuse?
| We cover | We refuse |
|---|---|
| Round mechanics, the two bet panels, Autobet, Autowithdrawal, Cancel and the history chips | Rankings of casinos |
| RTP, volatility, Provably Fair and what the studio does not publish | Signals, predictions and betting “systems” |
| The status of the game in Pakistan and the risks that follow from it | Instructions for getting around PTA blocks, and mirror links |
| Payments: what can go wrong with wallets and aggregator accounts | Promises of instant or guaranteed payouts |
| Scams around the game, as warnings | Text written by or for an operator |
How do we word things?
- Withdraw, Cash Out and withdrawal. Withdraw (capital W) is the button that ends your round and locks your win; Cash Out is the general crash-game term for the same act. A withdrawal means moving money from a casino account to a wallet or bank. We never use one for the other, so “withdraw in time” always refers to the round and “withdrawal times” always refers to payouts.
- Money. Rupees are written with Rs, for example Rs 3,000. PKR appears only in limits tables beside USD, because the official demo shows dollars.
- Dates. Day, month, year: 12 October 2026.
- Explained at first use. Terms such as RTP, volatility or Hash are defined where they first appear, and every technical fact ends with what it means for you.
How is a page published?
- The researcher records the sources and their dates.
- The writer drafts the page from the recorded figures.
- A second reader checks it against How We Verify.
- The page goes live with its update date.
- It is rechecked when a report arrives, when the offer changes or when the studio updates the game.
How do we deal with our own mistakes?
Reports sent through the contact page are checked, and confirmed errors are corrected within a few working days. If a corrected figure matters for a decision, for example an RTP value or a bet limit, the page says what changed and when, and the date at the foot of the page moves with it.
How do we handle conflicts of interest?
The site is paid through affiliate links, as the Affiliate Disclosure explains. When the partner’s offer changes, we update the stamp and the figures. We do not remove a warning because it lowers clicks, and the team does not accept text from an operator.
18+ only. Online gambling is not legal or regulated in Pakistan — there is no regulator to complain to and no national self-exclusion register.
