Accessibility

Everyone should be able to read gaming news and guides comfortably, however they browse. This statement explains our accessibility goal, the features built into the site, the limitations we know about, and how to tell us about a barrier so we can fix it.

Our Accessibility Commitment at GoldPlayPot.com

GoldPlayPot.com is built to be usable by people with a wide range of abilities, devices and preferences. That includes people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, voice control or high-contrast settings.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time checkbox. We review pages as we publish and update them, and we treat reported barriers as bugs to be fixed.

Our Target: WCAG 2.2 Level AA

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, published by the W3C. These guidelines cover how content can be made perceivable, operable, understandable and robust for people using different technologies.

We describe this as a target rather than a guarantee of full conformance on every page, because content is added regularly and some material comes from third parties.

How We Check Pages

We check pages with keyboard-only navigation, browser zoom, and automated accessibility tools, and we review heading structure and link text as part of editing. Automated tools catch only some issues, which is why reader feedback matters so much.

Accessibility Features on the Site

• Keyboard navigation: menus, links and interactive elements can be reached and used with a keyboard, with visible focus indicators.
• Skip link: a “Skip to content” link lets keyboard and screen reader users jump past the navigation.
• Color contrast: text and key interface elements are designed to meet AA contrast ratios, in both light and dark themes.
• Reduced motion: animations and transitions are minimized when your device has a reduced motion setting turned on.
• Semantic headings: each page uses one main heading and a logical heading order, so screen reader users can scan by section.
• Descriptive links and alt text: links describe where they lead, and meaningful images include text alternatives.
• Responsive layout: pages adapt to phones, tablets and desktops and support browser zoom without losing content.

Guides That Cover In-Game Accessibility

Accessibility matters inside games too. Our gameplay guides point out accessibility settings when games offer them, such as subtitles and caption sizing, colorblind modes, control remapping, hold-to-toggle options, screen shake and motion blur toggles, audio cues and difficulty assists.

Platform-level features are worth knowing as well. PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC all include system accessibility settings, and adaptive controller options exist for several platforms. Where it helps, our guides explain how these settings interact with in-game options.

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some parts of the site may not be fully accessible yet:

We work on these issues over time and prioritize fixes that affect the most readers or block access to content entirely.

• Third-party advertisements are supplied by ad partners and may not meet the same standards as our own content.
• Embedded videos and social posts from other platforms depend on those platforms for captions and controls.
• Some older images or screenshots may have incomplete text alternatives while we review them.
• Game screenshots that show small in-game text may be hard to read; we try to describe the important details in the article text.

Report a Barrier or Send Feedback

If something on the site is hard to use, we want to hear about it. Email hello@goldsplaypot.com and include the page link, what you were trying to do, and the browser, device and assistive technology you were using, if you are comfortable sharing.

We read every message, and accessibility reports are treated as fixes to make, not suggestions. If you need content from a page in another format, ask and we will try to help.

You can also adjust many things yourself using browser and system settings, such as zoom, font size, dark mode and reduced motion. The site is designed to respect those choices.
