Moderation & transparency
You should be able to see what is ready, what is planned and how moderation will work.
Updated 8 October 2026 · Version 1
Read how we compare companies for the everyday method. The notes below explain the sources and current launch status.
About the external snapshots
The directory includes a user-supplied extract described as Trustpilot data collected through DataForSEO. It contains 46 company entries, with 43 numerical values, two unavailable values and one status that needs a source check.
Neither extraction dates, original source records nor review counts were supplied. The figures have not been independently checked. They are labelled “Trustpilot snapshot”, retain the supplied values and are not presented as current ratings or as GameScoreLab.com reviews.
Bar length shows the supplied value divided by five. Colour is a visual aid for the numerical range, not a recommendation. No star distribution, review count or purchase badge is inferred from these figures. An unavailable value remains empty.
The unconfirmed status is retained privately for checking. It is displayed publicly as “Source check needed”, with no accusation or recommendation. Company domains are plain text; the directory contains no external company or source links.
Directory ordering and completeness
Every company from the 46-entry extract is retained. Two additional marketplace and coaching profiles are also kept, giving 48 profiles. The two accidentally added hardware brands were removed at the directory owner's request. The full list is visible by default. Companies are ordered by supplied numerical score, highest first; ties retain their order in the original extract. Companies without a numerical snapshot appear at the end and are never assigned a zero score.
EloAscend.com is listed with the supplied 4.1/5 and DuoBoost.net with 3.5/5. Search and optional pagination change what is visible, not which companies are kept.
About the detailed company data
31 existing profiles have been matched to BestBoosting pages captured on 8 October 2026. Their articles report an update on 2 July 2026. Each profile credits the source by name and dates. Source URLs and raw records are retained privately for traceability; reference domains are not displayed on the site. Profiles without a confirmed match remain listed and show an unavailable state.
These panels reproduce numerical source data and use our own concise summaries and charts. The BestBoosting editorial score uses a 0–100 scale. The separate 1–5 rating and external review total are Trustpilot figures as reported by BestBoosting, not a fresh Trustpilot check. Neither score is a GameScoreLab.com rating, and neither changes the original directory ordering.
BestBoosting describes weights of 35% for account handling, 25% for delivery, 15% for pricing, 15% for customer feedback and 10% for support. It claims to buy services and repeat audits. We have not inspected its private receipts, test logs or individual scoring inputs, so we cannot independently reproduce its editorial scores. The source also discloses affiliate commissions on some links.
The star bars use the source’s percentages without creating exact review counts or filling in a missing breakdown. Rounding can leave a total other than 100%. Where a simple average of the percentages differs from the source’s overall score, a data note explains the limitation. The country bars use the reported share of visits on a 0–100% scale.
Traffic is a third-party estimate, not company analytics. The traffic series ends in June 2026 and the editorial score series in July 2026. Every recorded month is available in a table, including when JavaScript is disabled. We do not interpolate missing data. Pickup time measures a claimed wait before work starts; it is not a full delivery duration or support response commitment.
Game coverage, payments and player assignment in the detailed panels are attributed to the source. They do not automatically become confirmed directory facts. Prices are historical starting figures with the original units; the dollar currency code, present availability and final quote are unconfirmed. Source-selected testimonials, external verification badges, affiliate links and source review markup are not published as community evidence.
How we describe companies
Company overviews are original, AI-assisted summaries of public company pages consulted on 8 October 2026. We use accessible pages and, where direct access is unavailable, indexed company pages. Each overview distinguishes its evidence basis. These summaries describe the advertised offer; they do not establish service quality, account safety or whether a company should be trusted.
45 profiles have a public-page description. Three have a specific unavailable state because the identified source could not be retrieved or showed a domain-sale page. No similarly named company is substituted. The detailed July snapshots remain historical and separate from these descriptions, including where a current business model or catalogue differs.
We have not collected a consensus from other language models or assigned a rating based on their responses. External figures do not become GameScoreLab scores. Writing is reviewed for clear language, factual support and our community tone. An AI-detector result, when recorded, is an editorial check rather than proof of authorship or accuracy.
Company profiles use the route pattern “is-company-legit”. The question in the URL does not imply a positive verdict. Earlier company-directory URLs redirect to the current profile, which is used for internal links and metadata.
How we check catalogues
Public company catalogues were consulted on 8 October 2026. Eight categories distinguish gaming services, accounts, currency, coaching, gift cards, items, top-ups and game keys. Game directories include only titles found in a matching company catalogue. Categories are not assigned to every game automatically: individual product types are shown only when a matching offer was found. Where access or mapping is incomplete, the profile says so. This is a record of advertised offers, not an inventory guarantee or service test.
How the Top 3 is ordered
Cards use the same supplied company snapshots as the directory, highest first. Ties keep the original extract order. The home selector and each game page include only companies with checked coverage for that game. A company-wide snapshot is not a score for an individual game, nor proof of current availability or quality. No verification badge, test result, starting price or delivery promise is inferred from a position.
EloAscend: calculated peer reference
EloAscend keeps its original supplied 4.1/5. Its peer reference charts use the unweighted arithmetic mean of available historical figures for 31 other matched companies, with equal weight per company. They are labelled as calculated market references, not measured EloAscend traffic, an EloAscend editorial score or an EloAscend delivery result. Missing values are excluded and monthly sample sizes are shown. Pickup is an average of company averages, not a pooled average of individual orders. Customer ratings and review counts are not used in these calculations.
Logos and game icons
Images are stored and served by GameScoreLab.com. We prefer company websites and publisher store listings; a company logo from an identified external reference may be used where the original cannot be retrieved. Branding may change, and a logo is not an ownership check, purchase badge or recommendation. If an image cannot be identified and retrieved, the company remains listed with an initials label. An unavailable image does not affect its position or score.
Game icons identify the game directories. They do not mean that a publisher endorses GameScoreLab.com or the companies listed here.
What the score distribution counts
The home chart groups the 43 numerical company scores into ranges: 5.0, 4.0–4.9, 3.0–3.9, 2.0–2.9 and 1.0–1.9. Each bar counts companies in that range and uses the 43 numerical scores as its denominator. Five companies have no numerical snapshot, including the three non-numerical extract entries and two additional profiles.
The distribution is for the full directory and remains unchanged when you filter the table. It is not a breakdown of buyer reviews by star rating. Individual review counts were not supplied, so that breakdown cannot be calculated.
What is ready?
| Feature | Status | What this means |
|---|---|---|
| Company directory | Available | Company identity and category, with no reviews. |
| Guidelines and policies | Available | The proposed review and moderation rules are public. |
| Email or Discord sign-in | Planned | There are no user accounts yet. |
| Private purchase evidence | Planned | No receipt collection or verification is running. |
| Review publication and fraud checks | Planned | No reviews can be submitted or published. |
| Company ownership and replies | Planned | Every company profile is unclaimed. |
| Reports and appeals | Planned | No reporting channel is open yet. |
How reviews will be checked
- Check the account and purchase evidence. Receipts will be reviewed privately. A badge will only be added after a completed check.
- Check for rule breaches and unusual patterns. Duplicate submissions, conflicts of interest and personal information will need review.
- Record the decision. Authors will receive a reason for a rejected or removed review and a way to appeal.
What moderation reports will show
Once submissions open, reports will state their reporting period, the number of reviews submitted, published and removed, the reasons for removal, and the outcomes of appeals. A report will also explain changes to the rules.
No moderation report exists yet. Showing a removal rate now would imply a review process that has not started.
Reasons a review may be removed
- A fabricated purchase or conflict of interest.
- Duplicate or coordinated submissions.
- Threats, hate speech or abusive content.
- Personal information that cannot safely remain public.
- A review that does not describe a first-hand experience.
A low rating, criticism or a company’s payment status will not be a removal reason.
