Q&A With Samuel
How do you start verifying a new online lottery platform?
I begin with a structured checklist covering licensing, company details, payment methods like M-Pesa and Airtel Money, and responsible gaming measures. After that, I test account creation and key platform features to confirm the claims made on the site.
What sources do you cross-check during fact-checking?
I rely on official regulator databases, operator disclosures, independent audit reports, and direct platform testing. Primary sources always come first, supported by additional verification of software from providers like Spribe and Buck Stakes Entertainment where needed.
How do you handle conflicting information during verification?
I document the discrepancy carefully, capture evidence, and contact the platform for clarification. If the issue remains unresolved, I clearly note it so Kenyan readers understand the situation before they commit any funds.
What principle guides your work the most?
Accuracy and transparency. Every claim should be verified, sources should be clear, and readers should always understand how conclusions were reached regarding the safety and fairness of a platform.
