We check published code strings and their stated conditions against the sources above. We do not redeem codes on your account. The stated deadline is historical; a personal checkmark only records a browser note.
We keep expired entries with clear labels. We do not infer a new deadline from an older version or reset a review date when nothing has changed. The daily job reads the official news API and dedicated code lists from GamesRadar+, PC Gamer, Pocket Tactics, Pocket Gamer and Dexerto. A new code needs matching code text, promotion type and reward amounts from at least two different publisher groups. GamesRadar+ and PC Gamer count as one group. Conflicting states, unresolved expiry notes and single-source candidates are withheld. Known deadlines expire automatically; missing entries keep their previous check time and show “Needs recheck.” After 48 hours without a successful match, a listing is also marked for recheck. These checks do not sign in or redeem codes. No new code is guaranteed each day.
