Responsible Play Charter: 5-Star Premium Coverage

Why this responsible-play matters for serious premium subscribers

We rate every claim on responsible play charter across five editorial dimensions. Top 10% accuracy is verified, not asserted. Captain pick transparency is non-negotiable.

Premium subscribers pay us, not platforms. We never accept paid placements, sponsored content, or platform-requested coverage. Independence is our product.

Every review is graded on our 5-star scale with subcategory scores. No overall rating without breakdown. Top 10% readers use these scores to inform entry decisions.

Our 47-variable editorial methodology

Premium scoring is built on 47 variables across 5 categories: form (15), matchup (10), pitch (8), team (8), toss (6). Each is weighted via Gradient Boosted Decision Trees.

Variable weights are trained on 5,000+ T20 matches and rebalanced monthly. We publish full variable weight breakdowns every Sunday. No black box.

Composite captain pick score = weighted sum of all 47 normalised variables. Top-3 candidates ranked. Tiebreakers: form (1), venue history (2), matchup-specific performance (3).
