How we write our guides
Played, not pasted
Every guide starts at a real table or screen. We explain rules the way a patient friend would and test strategies before recommending them.
No real-money gambling
Relax Club covers games for fun only. We never promote betting, casinos or apps that push players to wager money.
Kept up to date
Games change and so do our guides. We revisit articles and note the date each one was last reviewed.
