CheatsMatch Editorial Policy

We start with a matched public brand, official website and a specific product listing. A useful listing needs an identifiable product type, relevant game scope, a price or an explicit note that pricing is not published, and a check date. Unknown status can be shown when a public check cannot establish it.

A commercial comparison needs at least three qualifying products from two providers. We merge billing variants and known duplicate products. A large catalog alone does not prove that the store develops every item it sells. A reseller inference is labeled as an inference, and real developer names are not required.

• Browse the provider directory

Official listings, pricing selectors, status pages and policies supply product information. Game publishers and anti-cheat vendors supply the technical and enforcement context. Trustpilot, Reddit and sales-forum discussions can add attributed customer reports. We check whether a report concerns the exact product and whether a writer is also promoting or reselling it.

• CheatsMatch Verified: we directly checked the specific objective fact described, such as a displayed price or published support route.
• Provider-Reported: the provider states the feature, compatibility or status; this is not a functional test.
• Independently Corroborated: at least two independent third-party sources support the same claim. Copies of one source do not count twice.
• Unknown / Unverified: the available sources do not establish the detail. We describe the gap instead of guessing.

A last-checked date records a source review. It does not mean that software was used on that date or that a page is monitored continuously. We check public status pages where available and retain meaningful disagreements with the sales page.

We recheck when reviewing a listing, addressing a supported correction or investigating a material change. We do not promise daily updates. A current page date does not refresh every older price or claim automatically; relevant source dates remain attached to the underlying information.

Scores measure documentation using eight weighted factors. Numeric scores require at least 70% evidence coverage. Best Documented requires at least 85% and the other eligibility checks in our methodology. Missing data stays in the denominator.

Inclusion does not guarantee a recommendation. We do not create a winner when eligible results tie, and an updating product does not become Best Documented because it has a detailed website. We do not invent hands-on tests, ban rates, detection rates, customer counts or successful refund outcomes.

• Read the complete scoring method

Use the contact form to identify the page, the disputed detail and a supporting public source. We review the source and the scope of the claim before changing the comparison. A provider can submit a correction through the same process as a reader.

We can correct a factual field, clarify attribution, revise an assessment or remove an unsupported claim. We do not promise that every submission will receive a reply. Private messages and personal details are not published automatically.

• Send an editorial correction

CheatsMatch is maintained anonymously under the CheatsMatch brand. We are responsible for the comparisons and corrections published on this website. A provider’s sales language remains attributed to the provider, even when its product appears in a comparison.

This policy and the scoring method apply across games and providers. If a material rule changes, we explain the revised rule and record the change.
