How TintoHot Reviews Adult Platforms

Which sources we use, how the TintoHot Score works when a platform is scored and why affiliate deals never change it.

Every review on TintoHot follows the same process, whether the platform pays us a commission or not. This guide explains what that process looks like in practice.

We work from official sources

Reviews are built from each platform's official terms of service, privacy policy, pricing and help pages, plus other public documentation. We describe what a platform says it offers and how its model works, and we list our sources on the page. We do not present paid features as tested unless that testing actually happened, and we do not accept free credits in exchange for coverage.

Six criteria, published weights

The TintoHot Score is a weighted average of six ratings: features, ease of use, mobile experience, privacy and safety, pricing transparency and value. The weights are published on our How We Review page, and the same weights apply to every platform in a category. A platform only gets a score when there is a documented assessment behind it; until then it is shown as not scored and left out of score-based rankings.

Scores and money are stored separately

Our CMS keeps editorial scores and affiliate priority in separate fields. Editors who score platforms cannot see affiliate revenue, and commercial placements are labelled. A platform cannot buy a higher score.

Facts carry a verification status

Pricing, availability and features change. Each platform has a "last reviewed" date and a verification status. Until an editor confirms the current facts, pages say so clearly.

We update and correct

When a platform changes in a way that affects readers, we update the review and its date. If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction.

Translations are labelled

Some pages are available in Spanish and Portuguese. If a translation has not yet been checked by an editor, the page tells you, and the English version remains the reference.
