Research standard
ForecastIndex pages are built from platform documentation, official product pages, current public terms, Search Console query data, and direct page-level checks where available.
ForecastIndex
Editorial Policy
How ForecastIndex researches prediction market platforms, ranks pages, handles affiliate relationships, and updates risk-sensitive information.
Ranking criteria
Pages prioritize reader intent, eligibility, market coverage, fee clarity, liquidity context, risk visibility, and whether a platform fits the searcher's use case.
Affiliate separation
Referral relationships can influence which calls to action are available, but they should not remove eligibility warnings, fee caveats, alternatives, or risk disclosures.
Update policy
Fast-changing facts such as fees, availability, referral programs, and platform rules should be rechecked before major content refreshes or when Search Console data shows meaningful demand.
No advice
ForecastIndex does not publish personalized investment, legal, tax, betting, or trading advice. Platform pages are informational routing pages, not outcome recommendations.
Corrections
When a material platform detail is outdated or incomplete, ForecastIndex should update the page, keep the correction narrow, and avoid rewriting unrelated editorial history.
