Fact-Checking Policy
Table of contents
Fact-checking is the part of our work readers rarely see but depend on most. When a guide on comel334.com talks about bonuses, withdrawals, payment methods or Malaysian law, you should be able to tell where that information came from and how confident we are in it. This page explains exactly that.
We are an independent editorial affiliate site, not the Comel334 operator. That limits what we can confirm: we cannot see account dashboards, internal policies or licence paperwork. So instead of pretending to know more than we do, we label claims honestly and tell you where to double-check them. This process sits alongside our wider editorial policy.
Quick Answer
We check claims against a fixed hierarchy of sources, starting with official operator pages and official Malaysian government sources. Each claim is treated as Verified, a Promotional claim, or Editorial guidance. Pages carry a date, unverifiable details are marked "Verify", and reported errors are reviewed promptly.
Our Sources Hierarchy
Which sources we trust most
Not all sources carry the same weight. We rank them in this order and prefer the highest available source for every claim:
- Official Malaysian government and regulatory sources. Bank Negara Malaysia, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), MCMC, the Personal Data Protection Department (JPDP), CyberSecurity Malaysia and similar bodies, for anything about the law, scams, payments or data protection.
- Primary documents. Legislation published on the Attorney General's Chambers laws portal, such as the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953 and the Betting Act 1953, plus official guidance from payment infrastructure operators like PayNet.
- Official operator pages. The brand's own published pages and terms, for what the site lists, how it describes its offers, and its stated rules. These tell us what the operator says, not necessarily what is independently true.
Sources we do not use as evidence
Anonymous forum posts, social media screenshots, "leaked" bonus codes, other affiliate sites and unsourced news rewrites are not treated as evidence. They can point us toward a question worth checking, but a claim only enters a guide once it can be tied to one of the sources above. When two sources disagree, the higher-ranked one wins, and we say so if the difference matters to readers.
How We Label Claims
The three labels
| Label | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Verified | Confirmed against an official government source or primary document on the date shown. | The National Scam Response Centre can be reached on 997. |
| Promotional claim | Something the operator says about itself that we have not independently confirmed. | A banner advertising "fast withdrawals". |
| Editorial guidance | Our general advice, based on research, about how to stay safe or understand a concept. | "Never share your OTP with anyone, including support staff." |
How labels show up in our writing
You will not always see the words "Promotional claim" printed next to a sentence, but the wording will make the status clear: "the brand's site has been observed listing…", "the operator states…", or "check current terms". Where a guide would normally show a specific limit, fee or processing time, we write "Verify" instead of inventing a number. Illustrative figures used to explain a concept are always labelled "Illustrative example, not a Comel334 offer".
Date-Stamping and Unverifiable Claims
Why every page carries a date
Casino terms, promotions and even official guidance change. A correct statement from last year can be wrong today. Every page shows when it was published or last materially updated, so you can judge how fresh it is. When we recheck a source during an update, the page date is refreshed. If a page looks old and the topic is time-sensitive, semak dulu with the operator or the official source before acting.
What we do when we cannot confirm something
Plenty of useful questions have no verifiable public answer: who exactly operates the brand, whether it holds a particular licence, how long a withdrawal really takes. In those cases we:
- Say plainly that the detail is unverified.
- Explain how readers can check it themselves, safely.
- Avoid repeating the claim as if it were fact, even if it appears widely online.
- Remove or correct the claim if a reliable source later contradicts it.
Important Warning
We never describe Comel334 as licensed, legal, official, approved or safe. Online casino gambling is generally not licensed domestically in Malaysia and may be unlawful. Check the law through official sources and make your own informed decision.
Reporting Errors and Corrections
How to report a problem
If you believe something on the site is wrong or out of date, email contact@comel334.com. Include the page URL, the sentence in question, and a link to the source that shows the correct information. Reports with a source are much faster to resolve. Details are on our contact page.
What happens next
We aim to review reports promptly. The editor checks the claim against the source hierarchy above. If the page is wrong, we correct it and update the date; for significant errors about money, the law or safety, we add a short correction note so readers know what changed. If we disagree, we keep the original text but may add context. We will not remove accurate warnings simply because they are unwelcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sources does comel334.com use to check facts?
We rank sources in a fixed order: official Malaysian government and regulatory sources such as Bank Negara Malaysia, PDRM and MCMC first, then primary documents like legislation on the Attorney General's Chambers laws portal, then the operator's own published pages. Forum posts, social media screenshots and other affiliate sites are not treated as evidence.
What is the difference between a Verified claim and a Promotional claim?
A Verified claim has been confirmed against an official government source or primary document on the date shown. A Promotional claim is something the operator says about itself, such as a bonus banner or a promise of fast withdrawals, which we have not independently confirmed. We word promotional claims so readers can see they come from the operator.
Why do some pages say Verify instead of giving a number?
We cannot confirm details like payment limits, fees or processing times from the outside, and they change often. Instead of inventing figures, we write Verify so you know to check the current terms on the operator's own site. Any numbers used to explain a concept are labelled as illustrative examples.
How quickly do you fix errors?
We aim to review reports promptly. Send the page link, the sentence in question and a supporting source to contact@comel334.com. If the page is wrong, we correct it and update its date, and significant corrections about money, the law or safety get a short note on the page.
