About us

How we score Australian online casinos on licence, AUD payment rails and measured withdrawal times.

Barnaby Weethalle runs this desk with four reviewers who each own one beat: AUD payment rails, pokie catalogues and RTP, bonus terms, and mobile play together with support. Nobody scores a casino outside their own beat, which is why the seven brands on our ranking carry the same figures wherever they appear.

A brand only enters the shortlist once we have opened an account, funded it in AUD and taken money back out. Seven weighted criteria decide the score: licence, acceptance of Australian players, payment methods, AUD support, measured withdrawal time, mobile experience and bonus terms. The seven lobbies we currently rate hold 29,670 pokies and 34,410 games between them.

Figures move, so we re-check them. Withdrawal windows, minimum deposits and wagering multipliers are re-timed on a rolling basis, and a review is rewritten the moment an operator changes its terms rather than at a fixed date. We never promise winnings, we state the licence behind every brand, and we say plainly when a brand is slower, dearer or thinner than its rivals.
