We use three kinds of visuals: photography published under CC0 or a Creative Commons licence, illustrations we draw ourselves as SVG, and data visualisations built from our own tables. Nothing is hotlinked, and nothing is used without a licence we can point to.
Photography
Photos are sourced from Wikimedia Commons and the Openverse index and stored on our own domain; each one is credited below with its author and licence. CC0 means the work is dedicated to the public domain; attribution is not required, but we list sources anyway so the provenance is checkable.

Image sizes
Every photograph is served at the size the layout needs. The originals stay in the repository and each one has a 640px variant and, where the original is wider, a 1024px variant, generated by scripts/resize-photos.ps1 and selected by the browser through srcset. A phone therefore downloads roughly a quarter of the bytes a desktop does, and no reader downloads a 1600px file to fill a 360px card.
The width and height attributes come from the source files, so the browser reserves space before the image decodes and the layout does not shift. Nothing here is resized on the fly by a third party: the files are generated in the repository and served as static assets.
Illustrations (ours)
The gold ornaments, skylines and market graphics are original SVG files drawn for this site. They are free to view on the site and may not be republished as a standalone asset without permission.
Brand and state marks (ours, not official logos)
The tiles next to an operator's name and the postal-code badges next to a state are drawn for this site. They are typographic identifiers, not the operators' official logos and not official state seals or flags. We do not reproduce a company's trademark without permission, and we do not present a designed mark as if it were one.
The reason is the same one that governs the photography: an operator's marketing asset is not ours to publish. A mark that says which article you are reading is our own work; a copied logo would be someone else's.
Why the photography is licensed, not scraped
Every photo on the site is either public domain, CC0, or a Creative Commons licence that permits commercial use with attribution. We do not hotlink, and we do not use images from operator sites, because an operator's marketing asset is not ours to publish.
Each file is downloaded once, checked for size, and stored on our own domain. Where a licence requires attribution, the creator and the licence link appear in the list above, not in a footnote that a reader has to hunt for.
How images are used
Photography is illustrative, not evidentiary. A photo of a city does not imply that the city has a particular market, and a photo of cards does not imply that we tested a game. Images are chosen for tone and captioned to make the limit clear.
We do not use AI-generated photorealistic images of people, because a reader cannot tell them apart from a photograph of a real person and we cannot attribute them.
Removing an image
If you believe an image is misattributed or should not be used, write to editorial@casinotrustcenter.com with the file name and the reason. We remove first and discuss after.
