What we do and what we don’t
We publish withdrawal times with the date beside them, bonus terms exactly as the rulebook words them, and whatever can be established about who holds the licence. We don’t publish brand reviews. This comparison is about processes rather than logos, which is why you won’t find a page per operator here.
We also don’t publish rankings that reshuffle every week. If a measurement passes six months, it gets repeated; if it can’t be repeated, the date stays visible and the number is allowed to age in public.
The thing we say out loud
No operator holds an Australian licence for online casino games, because none is issued. Every site in our tables is licensed somewhere else — Curaçao, Malta, Anjouan — and the Interactive Gambling Act makes it an offence for them to offer those games here, not for you to play. That is a real difference in your position, and it means there is no Australian regulator to escalate to when something goes wrong. We say it on every page rather than burying it in a footer.
How the site is paid for
Affiliate links. If somebody signs up through this site, the operator pays a commission. That commission doesn’t reorder the tables or change a sentence of the text, and there is no arrangement anywhere that ties a rating to a figure. A casino that pays us well and takes three weeks to pay a player appears here with those three weeks written down.
Operators don’t see drafts and don’t get to read anything before it goes up. Where a link is an affiliate link, it says so, and the notice sits in the footer of every page as well.
House rule
If a check fails, we write that down. If an account couldn’t be verified, if support stopped answering, if two sources contradict each other, the text says where the evidence ran out instead of papering over the hole with a smooth opinion. It is the least sellable part of the site and the part everything else rests on.
We are also wary of labels. “Fast”, “safe” and “internationally licensed” mean nothing standing alone. When one of those words matters to a page, the promise goes next to whatever could actually be verified.
Who writes it
Everything carries Dale Whitmore’s name. The full method, with criteria and grounds for exclusion, is in how we test. Corrections go through contact.
