These terms govern your use of pokiesreviewaustralia.com (“the site”). By opening any page you accept them; if you do not, please stop using the site.
1. What this site is
The site is an independent editorial service about online casinos and pokies as they appear to Australian players: reviews, comparisons, payment explainers and guides.
It is not a gambling operator. We do not offer games, hold deposits, issue bonuses or pay winnings, have no access to any account you open, and cannot release a withdrawal, unlock an account or resolve a dispute. Every commercial relationship you enter is between you and the operator.
2. Age restriction
The site is intended solely for persons aged 18 years or over, and by using it you confirm that you are. Nothing here is directed at minors, and where a jurisdiction sets a higher minimum age, that age applies to you.
3. Information only — not advice
Everything published here is general information. It is not legal, financial, taxation or professional advice and must not be relied on as such. For an individual question, consult a qualified professional in Australia.
Nothing here is an inducement to gamble. Gambling carries a permanent risk of losing money, and the maths of every casino game favours the house.
4. Accuracy, and its limits
We take care with facts. Licence details, payments, minimum deposits, withdrawal windows and bonus terms come from operators’ own materials, recorded with the date we checked them — see how we rate.
Even so, we give no warranty that any information here is accurate, complete or current: offshore operators change terms, promotions, payments and domains without notice. Ratings are editorial opinion formed from a published method, not guarantees of quality, solvency or fair treatment.
Before depositing anywhere, read the operator’s current terms yourself; they prevail over anything written here. If something here is wrong, write to [email protected] and we will check and correct it.
5. Affiliate links and how we are funded
Some links to operators are affiliate links: if you follow one and open an account, the operator may pay us a commission. This costs you nothing and changes none of the terms or offers available to you.
Our editorial policy is on the about page: commercial relationships do not determine scores, verdicts or table positions. Affiliate links carry rel=”nofollow sponsored”, and any page with a ranking table carries a visible disclosure. Our arrangements with operators are no part of any agreement with you.
6. The legal position in Australia
Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) it is prohibited to provide or advertise online casino games to people in Australia. The prohibitions apply to operators, not players: an individual playing at an offshore casino commits no offence under that Act. ACMA may direct internet providers to block non-compliant domains, which is why offshore sites are sometimes unreachable.
No online casino covered here is licensed in Australia or supervised by an Australian regulator. In a dispute there is no Australian complaints body with jurisdiction, and Australian consumer protections do not stand behind your balance. See our legal hub, the Interactive Gambling Act and ACMA blocking. You are responsible for the laws that apply where you are.
7. Third-party sites
The site links to operators, regulators, government bodies and support services. We do not control them, do not endorse them by linking, and accept no responsibility for their availability, accuracy, terms or privacy practices. Once you leave, their terms govern.
8. Acceptable use
You may read, print and share pages for personal, non-commercial use. You must not:
- copy, republish or scrape content for another website, feed or dataset;
- train a commercial machine-learning model on it without written permission;
- frame the site, or present our content as your own or as endorsed by you;
- attempt unauthorised access, interfere with the site, or use it for anything unlawful.
Short quotations with attribution and a link are welcome.
9. Intellectual property
All text, ratings, tables, graphics and design are owned by the site operator or used under licence, and are protected by copyright. Operator names, logos and trade marks belong to their owners and appear here for identification and comment only; their use implies no partnership beyond clause 5.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- the site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied;
- we are not liable for loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, information published here — including gambling losses, an operator’s conduct, an account closure, a refused or delayed withdrawal, a domain block, or a change in terms;
- we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or loss of profit or data;
- we do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Nothing here excludes a liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law where it applies. Where a liability can be limited rather than excluded, ours is limited to re-supplying the content.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify the site operator against any claim or expense arising from your breach of these terms or unlawful use of the site.
12. Availability and changes to the site
We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site at any time and without notice.
13. Governing law and jurisdiction
The site is operated by a company registered outside Australia, and these terms are governed by the laws of its place of registration. Disputes are subject to the courts of that jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law where you live gives you a right you cannot contract out of.
14. Changes to these terms
We may amend these terms. The current version is always at this address with the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after an amendment means you accept it.
15. Contact
Legal and commercial matters: [email protected]. Editorial corrections: [email protected]. Details are on the contact page; data handling is in our privacy policy. Support for problem gambling, including Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858, is on our responsible gambling page.
