Editorial Policy
How Balatro Wiki Free researches, writes, reviews and corrects its Balatro guides, and how advertising is kept separate from editorial decisions.
Balatro Wiki Free exists to give players accurate, practical and readable Balatro information. This page explains how we produce content and how we handle corrections, advertising and AI assistance.
Research standards
- Primary sources first. Card effects, prices and unlock conditions are checked against the current game release wherever possible.
- Cross-checking. Community documentation and reference wikis are used to verify numbers and to catch edge cases.
- Context over trivia. A Joker page should explain when the card is good, what it combos with and what it costs — not just repeat its tooltip.
- Version awareness. When a patch changes behaviour, the page is updated and the update date is refreshed.
Writing and review
Pages are written by human editors and reviewed for clarity, spelling and factual consistency before publication. Calculations such as chip totals and mult scaling are checked separately from the prose.
AI assistance
We may use automated tools to help with formatting, summarising or drafting low-risk sections. Every published page is reviewed by a human before it goes live. AI tools are not used to invent sources or fabricate game data.
Corrections
If you find an error:
- Email [email protected] with the page URL and the correct value.
- We verify the claim against the current game version or a reliable reference.
- We update the page and, where the change is significant, note the correction.
Corrections are free and we do not require you to promote the Site.
Advertising and independence
- Advertising is sold and served separately from editorial work.
- Advertisers do not get to review, approve or influence guides.
- Affiliate links, where present, are disclosed.
- We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review, a rating or a place in a tier list.
Review copies and conflicts
We do not currently accept review copies, paid trips or gifts that would create a conflict of interest. If that changes, the relevant page will disclose it.
