How the desk confirms the verified operator domain

The betinia editorial desk confirms the verified operator domain by reading the operator's published terms of service and privacy notice. The desk refuses to publish a redirect mirror or a third-party domain because the editorial recommendation requires the verified channel, and a redirect mirror cannot be verified against the operator's identity.

The desk confirms three facts on the URL bar before signing in: the URL bar reads the operator's verified domain and not a look-alike; the certificate authority is the operator's published CA; and the page header matches the operator's published brand mark.

Three facts the desk confirms on the URL bar

  1. URL bar — the URL bar reads the operator's verified domain; look-alike URLs are closed.
  2. Certificate authority — the certificate authority is the operator's published CA.
  3. Page header — the page header matches the operator's published brand mark.

Detail block · official-website confirmation

Five checks the desk runs before treating a domain as the operator's official website

  1. Domain match — the domain matches the operator's verified domain on the App Store and Play Store listing; the desk refuses any domain that does not match.
  2. Certificate — the certificate is issued to the operator's verified name; the desk refuses any certificate that is issued to a third-party name.
  3. Lobby hash — the lobby HTML hash matches the operator's published lobby hash; the desk refuses any domain where the hash does not match.
  4. Privacy notice — the domain surfaces a privacy notice linked from the footer; the desk refuses any domain that buries the privacy notice.
  5. State table — the domain surfaces the operator's state table at sign-in; the desk refuses any domain that does not surface the state table.

02

How the desk verifies the official website before logging in

The desk treats the official-website verification as a five-row task. The first row is the domain match; the desk asks the reader to confirm the domain against the App Store and Play Store listings and to refuse any domain that does not match. The second row is the certificate; the desk asks the reader to click the certificate icon in the URL bar and to confirm the certificate is issued to the operator's verified name.

The third row is the lobby hash; the desk asks the reader to compute the lobby HTML hash and to compare the hash against the operator's published lobby hash. The fourth row is the privacy notice; the desk asks the reader to confirm the privacy notice is linked from the footer and not buried in a help-center article.

The fifth row is the state table; the desk asks the reader to confirm the state table is surfaced at sign-in and not after the deposit step. The desk's standing rule is that no login is submitted without all five rows passing; the desk records a failing row with a friction observation and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check.

Reader questions

Three questions the desk keeps answering on the official-website surface

Why does the operator run multiple domains?

The operator's standing rule is that the canonical domain is the domain listed on the App Store and Play Store. Other domains the operator runs are usually campaign-specific landing pages; the desk asks the reader to confirm the canonical domain against the App Store and Play Store listings and to refuse any landing page that does not redirect to the canonical domain at login.

Can a reader log in from a campaign landing page?

Yes, where the landing page redirects to the canonical domain at login. The desk asks the reader to confirm the redirect against the operator's help center and to refuse any landing page that does not redirect at login. The desk records a missing redirect as a friction observation; the operator is recorded as friction-observed against the redirect row.

What does the desk record when the certificate is issued to a third-party name?

The desk records the domain as friction-observed against the certificate row and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check. The desk asks the reader to verify the certificate against the operator's status page and to refuse any domain where the certificate is issued to a third-party name.

Reading cadence

How the desk re-issues the official-website surface against the operator's record

\n
\n
\n

The desk re-issues the official-website surface on three cadences. The first cadence is per quarter: the desk reads the operator's domain against the five-row verification task and re-issues the verdict chip on the operator's domain. The second cadence is per half: the desk reads the operator's domain against the most recent operator calendar and re-issues the verdict chip on the operator's domain.

\n

The third cadence is per incident: where a reader reports an official-website event that crosses the desk's incident threshold, the desk verifies the event against the operator's published record and re-issues the verdict chip only when the operator's record changes. The desk refuses to combine the three cadences into a single "last updated" line; the changelog records the date, the row the desk re-scored, and the verdict chip issued at the close of the check.

\n

For the per-row verification, the desk asks the reader to confirm the operator's domain against the five-row verification task and to refuse any domain where the certificate is issued to a third-party name. The desk's standing rule is that no login is submitted without all five rows passing; the desk records a failing row as a friction observation and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check.

Edge cases

\n

Three edge cases the desk records on this surface

\n
\n
\n

The desk records three edge cases on this surface. The first edge case is a partner-routed install: where the operator routes the install through a third-party partner, the desk records the partner's verification record as the canonical record and not the operator's stated record. The second edge case is a region-specific install: where the operator's listing is unavailable in the reader's region, the desk records the unavailability as a friction observation and asks the reader to verify the unavailability against the operator's help center.

\n

The third edge case is a third-party-mirror install: where a third-party mirror publishes the operator's installer, the desk records the mirror as a phishing risk and asks the reader to refuse the mirror. The desk's standing rule is that no install is recorded without the operator's verified domain; the desk records a third-party-mirror install as a friction observation and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check.

\n

For the per-case verification, the desk asks the reader to confirm the operator's verification record against the operator's status page and to refuse any operator whose verification record diverges from the desk's standing rule. The desk's standing rule is that no case is complete without the operator's verification record being confirmed against the operator's help center; the desk records a missing record as a friction observation and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check.

Reference notes

\n

Two reference notes the desk keeps on this surface

\n
\n
\n

The desk keeps two reference notes on this surface. The first note is the canonical-record rule: the desk records the operator's canonical record as the row the reader verifies against, and the desk refuses to publish a "passing" claim that is not sourced to the canonical record. The second note is the changelog rule: the desk records the date of the check against the canonical record, and the desk refuses to publish a "last updated" line that is not dated against the changelog.

\n

For the per-note verification, the desk asks the reader to confirm the canonical record against the operator's help center and to refuse any operator that does not publish a canonical record. The desk's standing rule is that no note is complete without the canonical record being confirmed against the operator's help center; the desk records a missing record as a friction observation and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check.
