What this site is, and who writes it

What you will find here

The site publishes plain-language guides to pokies and casino bonuses for Australian readers. That includes how games are described by their providers, how bonus terms are usually structured, and what the published return figure attached to a game does and does not tell you.

We write for adults who are spending their own money and want the terms explained before they do. We describe what published material says. We do not tell you what to play, how much to spend, or that any approach changes the odds.

Sources behind our numbers

Figures such as return-to-player percentages, volatility descriptions and game rules are taken from published provider material. When we quote one, we are repeating what the provider has published, not measuring a game ourselves.

Each figure is re-read against the provider's current published information before we rely on it, and the page is dated so you can see when that check happened. If a provider changes its published figures, the page is corrected rather than left standing. A return figure is a long-run average across a great many plays. It is not a prediction for a session, and no session is obliged to match it.

How the site is paid, and what it is not

The site earns money from a paid placement. Where our partner is mentioned, that placement is disclosed on the page, and the partner is referred to only as our partner. Payment does not buy a favourable description of a game's figures, and published provider figures are reported as they stand.

This site is not financial, legal or gambling advice, and it is not a casino or an operator. We do not accept deposits, hold funds or process withdrawals, and we cannot act on an account. Anything you decide to do with your own money is your decision, and money spent on pokies can be lost.

Can I deposit or withdraw through this site?

No. This site is a publisher, not a casino or an operator, so it does not accept deposits, hold funds or process withdrawals. Any account or cashier is run by the operator you choose, under its own terms.

Does being paid by your partner change the figures you publish?

No. The paid placement is disclosed, and game figures are repeated from published provider material and re-read before we rely on them. The commercial arrangement does not change what a provider has published about a game.
