Our Editorial Philosophy
\n
At ibizatowel.com, our primary objective is to provide an objective analysis of casual home game poker simulators. We understand that selecting a software platform involves weighing various features, user interfaces, and simulation accuracy. In our opinion, the only way to provide genuine value to our readers is through a strict adherence to editorial independence and a transparent methodology.
\n\n
Independence Statement
\n
Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial partnerships. While we may collaborate with software developers for data access or promotional materials, these relationships do not dictate our conclusions. Based on our review process, every poker simulator is evaluated against a standardized set of criteria. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or improved rankings; our assessments are based solely on the perceived quality and functionality of the software.
\n\n
Affiliate Disclosure
\n
To keep our content free for our users, ibizatowel.com participates in affiliate programs. This means that if you click on a link to a simulator and subsequently sign up or make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the operator. However, we want to be clear: these commissions do not influence our rankings. Our methodology ensures that a simulator's position on our site is determined by its performance and user experience, not by the size of the affiliate payout.
\n\n
Fact-Checking and Review Workflow
\n
To maintain a high standard of accuracy, we follow a rigorous internal workflow:
\n
- \n
- Initial Testing: Our reviewers spend several hours interacting with the software to assess gameplay fluidness and simulation logic.
- Comparative Analysis: The software is compared against other titles in the casual poker niche to determine where it may stand in terms of feature sets.
- Verification: Technical claims made by the developer are verified through hands-on testing.
- Peer Review: A second editor reviews the findings to ensure the tone remains neutral and avoids absolute claims.

Update Cadence
\n
The iGaming software landscape evolves rapidly. To ensure our information remains relevant, we aim to review and update our core content every 60 to 90 days. This update cycle allows us to account for new software patches, changes in subscription models, or updates to the user interface that could alter our original assessment.
\n\n
Conflict-of-Interest Policy
\n
Our writers and editors are prohibited from promoting software in which they hold a financial stake or a direct employment relationship. Should a potential conflict of interest arise, the individual must recuse themselves from the review process for that specific product. We believe this separation of interests is essential to maintaining the trust of our community.
\n\n
\n
A Note on Responsible Gaming: While we focus on casual simulators, we believe it is vital to promote responsible gambling. Poker, whether simulated or real-money, should be approached as a form of entertainment. If you or someone you know feels that gaming is becoming a problem, we encourage you to seek support from recognized professional organizations.
