Editorial Policy

Our promise

Every rated operator receives a dated scope statement covering the checks actually performed and the limits of the available evidence. We separate official-source checks, interface observations, author-reported transactions and independently retained primary evidence. Current availability is never treated as permanent or as proof of a Somali licence.

Evidence labels

A completed transaction is not automatically independently verifiable. Each payment record is labelled by what survives:

• Primary evidence retained: dated operator and destination records can be reviewed and reconciled.
• Author-reported reconstruction: the author supplies amounts, dates and outcomes, but original receipts or screenshots are unavailable.
• Interface or official-source check: a method, rule, offer or licence was visible, but no completed transaction is claimed.

The July 2026 Q3 register is an author-reported reconstruction because the source files were lost with a storage device. We publish the rows for transparency, but do not present them as independently auditable proof or a payout guarantee.

Testing methodology

The following checklist defines the scope we can review. A page must identify which checks were actually completed, when, and from which source; this list does not claim every check was completed for every operator:

1. Registration: inspect the available flow, promo-code field, published KYC requirements and geo-blocking signals without claiming a completed funded account.
2. Payments: record the Somali mobile-money methods displayed in the interface and compare them with public limits and terms; availability is not treated as a completed transaction.
3. Sportsbook: inspect navigation, visible market depth and live-betting controls on relevant football events.
4. Casino / Aviator: verify the public game listing and provider attribution without claiming a real-money session.
5. Withdrawal and KYC: review published requirements, limits and interface paths; report transaction outcomes only with an explicit evidence label and scope.
6. Support: record public contact channels and the help material available for common account questions.
7. Mobile experience: inspect the responsive site, app route, file-source warnings and behaviour under a constrained browser profile.

How we score

Our published scoring rubric uses the following weights. It describes editorial priorities, not an independently audited performance measure. A displayed score is an editorial assessment; do not infer a fresh account test or a reproducible calculation where component evidence is not published:

• Payout evidence (25%) — clarity of withdrawal rules, documented complaint signals and the strength of available transaction evidence
• Somali-market fit (20%) — mobile-money depth, currency support, language
• Sportsbook depth (15%) — markets, odds quality, live betting
• Mobile UX (15%) — official app route, responsive behaviour and friction in the account flow
• Bonus and promo terms (10%) — fairness of rollover, transparency
• Customer support (10%) — documented contact routes and language coverage; response speed only where a dated interaction is retained
• Compliance and licensing (5%) — Curacao status, parent-company transparency

Quarterly review is a maintenance target, not evidence that a check occurred. Material changes to a score, source, payment condition or conclusion require a dated note identifying the changed claim and whether the evidence was public-source, interface-only or a documented transaction. An editorial wording change does not refresh the date of the underlying observation.

Affiliate disclosure

Some labelled operator links may earn BetSomali a commission if a reader registers and deposits. This commercial funding creates a potential conflict of interest. BetWinner and 1xBet are our primary commercial recommendations; Melbet and Linebet are also approved partners.

Commercial preference can influence which operators receive coverage and recommendation placement. We do not publish a comparison of private commission rates or claim that commission cannot affect editorial choices. The preference does not establish a licence, local availability, account eligibility or a withdrawal outcome.

Keep that funding disclosure separate from the dated evidence supporting each factual claim. Readers can inspect the Evidence Register and compare the specific source, date and limitations before using a recommendation.

What we will not do

• We do not accept payment to inflate ratings.
• We do not publish a rating without a dated test-scope statement.
• We do not endorse "predictor apps" for Aviator or any other game. Cryptographic RNG is not predictable; anyone selling predictions is selling a scam.
• We do not promise winning strategies. Betting is entertainment, not income.
• We do not target readers under 18, and we do not market to people experiencing gambling harm.

Corrections policy

If we publish something inaccurate — a wrong bonus amount, a misstated payment method, an outdated regulatory claim — we want to know. Email hello@betsomali.com with the page URL and the specific error.

The BetSomali Editorial Team is responsible for reviewing corrections. Include the exact statement, source URL, issuing body and publication or observation date. Compare the source with the scope of the claim before changing it; record material factual corrections with the affected page, change and date. Retain the date and limitations of older evidence instead of presenting it as a new check. The contact page explains what to send safely; no reply deadline is guaranteed.

Responsible gambling

If betting is causing harm to you or someone you know, please reach out to BeGambleAware or GamCare. Check the specific operator’s published account-limit and self-exclusion options; this policy does not confirm a common duration or availability for every account. There is no shame in stopping.
