About Ludotoday: the editorial desk behind the rules pages.
Ludotoday is a research desk, not a ludo operator. Every chapter on the site is a rules brief written for Indian readers who want to read the rule card before they roll. This page is the masthead: who writes the chapters, where the figures come from, and how the almanac handles compliance.

What the almanac is, and what it is not
The almanac is built around rule cards. A reader who lands on a chapter is reading a structured brief: what the rule says, what the rule means in play, what to verify on the platform's official page before staking. The almanac does not run a ludo platform, does not sell an app, does not take a deposit.
Where the almanac links to a third-party app or site, those links are marked rel="sponsored nofollow" so the separation is explicit in the markup. Pages that compare platforms carry the same disclosure, regardless of whether the platform pays for placement.
The almanac does not promote staking, does not feature testimonials, and does not run a deposit CTA. The chapter on the responsible-play desk is reachable from every page; the helpline line is reachable from every chapter footer.

Who runs the almanac
Editor
The almanac is edited by a small desk of writers who have covered Indian real-money gaming for more than a decade. The editor signs off on every rules chapter and every batch of figures in the payout scoreboard.
The desk works remotely across Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad. There is no newsroom floor; the office is a shared cloud folder and a group calendar.
Sub-editors
Sub-editors handle token-strategy chapters and the dice-math ledger. Each sub-editor is named on the chapter they last revised; the date of revision is on every page in the colophon.
External fact-checkers review a random chapter each month. Fact-check reports are kept in the public ledger linked from the colophon on each page.
03 · Research method
Where the figures come from
Where a figure cannot be verified from a public source, the chapter carries a labelled estimate rather than a hard number. Where a platform rule disagrees with the almanac, the platform's published rule card supersedes the chapter.
04 · Compliance posture
How the almanac handles real-money gaming law
Indian real-money gaming law
The almanac cites the MeitY online gaming rules and the Public Online Gambling (PROG) Act 2025 wherever the chapter is affected. State-level differences are flagged in the is-legal chapter rather than scattered through the rule pages.
No chapter on the almanac instructs a reader to evade a state rule. No chapter advises the use of a VPN to access a real-money app from a restricted state.
Advertising disclosure
Where the almanac links to a real-money app or signup page, the link is marked rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer". The disclosure is in the markup so it is readable by crawlers and screen readers alike.
Editorial chapters do not carry app signup CTAs. Signup CTAs appear only on the play-now routing stub, and that stub carries the compliance disclosure in plain prose above the button.

How to reach the desk
Editorial corrections, sourced figures that disagree with a platform's rule card, and chapter revision requests should be sent through the customer-care desk. Include the chapter URL and the figure you want to revise.
The desk reads every correction. Verified corrections are reflected in the next chapter revision; the revision date is on the colophon of the chapter.
