Why review integrity matters
Fake reviews are the biggest threat to a review platform's credibility. Some operators try to buy positive reviews to lift their score; some try to post negative reviews about rivals. Both mislead people making real-money decisions, so keeping reviews authentic is central to what we do.
A higher bar than anonymous platforms
Every reviewer must sign in with Google or Steam. That requirement makes throwaway accounts harder to create at scale than on fully anonymous review sites.
New accounts start at the lowest trust level, and their reviews go through a manual moderation queue before appearing. This catches most low-effort fake attempts before they are ever published.
Limits that block bulk and duplicate reviews
- One review per site - an account cannot stack multiple reviews on the same site.
- Daily rate limit - a cap of 3 reviews per account per day blocks rapid bulk submissions.
- Minimum length - very short, low-detail reviews are rejected automatically.
Human moderation
The core of our process is human review. Moderators read submissions in the new-user queue, plus any review that is reported or flagged, looking for signs that simple counting cannot catch - generic praise, irrelevant detail, or text that reads like marketing copy.
Anyone can report a review straight from the review card, and those reports go to our moderators.
What happens to confirmed fakes
Reviews confirmed to be fake or incentivized are removed. Removed reviews do not count toward a site's Trust Score. The account responsible can be restricted, and repeat offenders can be banned.
How you can help
Report suspicious reviews when you see them, and write honest, detailed reviews of your own. Authentic reviews from real accounts are the best defense against manipulation.
