Terms and conditions

Where the numbers on this site come from

Every return figure, limit, wagering requirement and bonus detail on this site is a published figure that we have re-read from an operator's own material. We do not measure games, run trials or generate statistics of our own. A figure is accurate to the moment we read it and no further.

Operators change terms, table limits, game libraries and bonus conditions without notice, and a figure that was correct when we read it may no longer be. Treat what you read here as a starting point and confirm anything that matters against the operator's current published terms before you act on it. A return figure is a long-run average across millions of plays; it says nothing about what any one session will do.

Not financial, legal or gambling advice

Nothing on this site is financial advice, legal advice, or a recommendation that you gamble. We describe how pokies and bonuses work so that you can read an operator's terms with more understanding, not so that you will sign up anywhere. No page here offers a strategy that wins, a system that beats a game, or a promise of any return.

Pokies are a game of chance with a built-in house edge, and over time the average player loses money. Any budget you set is money you should be prepared to lose entirely. If gambling is causing you difficulty, or you are not sure whether it is, the right step is to stop and speak to a gambling support service rather than to read further.

Commercial arrangements and who may read

This site carries paid placement. Where a link to our partner appears, that placement is commercial and it is disclosed on the page where it appears. A commercial arrangement does not change the figures we publish or the way we describe a game, but you are entitled to know it exists, and you should weigh any site's material with that in mind.

This site is written for adults and is not for anyone under 18. Which gambling products you may use, and on what terms, is decided by the law of the place you are in, not by anything published here. It is your responsibility to know what is permitted where you are and to comply with it. We make no representation that anything described here is lawful in your jurisdiction, and we do not advise you to use a service that is not.

Use of the site and its content

You may read, quote and link to this site for your own non-commercial use. You may not republish substantial parts of it as your own work, strip the disclosure that accompanies a commercial link, or present our descriptions as though they were an operator's official terms. The material is provided as it stands, and we do not warrant that it is complete or current at the moment you read it.

We correct errors when we find them and when they are pointed out to us, and figures are re-read periodically rather than continuously. If a page here differs from an operator's published terms, the operator's terms govern your dealings with that operator. Nothing on this site forms a contract between you and us about any gambling transaction.

Questions about these terms

If something on this site reads ambiguously, or you believe a figure is out of date, contact the editorial desk and say which page you mean. We would rather fix a page than defend it. We do not answer questions about your account with any operator, and we cannot act on your behalf in a dispute with one.

We do not name casinos or operators on this site, including our partner, and we do not pass on personal details to them. These terms describe how the site is published; they are not a governing-law clause and they do not create any arbitration or liability arrangement. The law that applies to you is the law of the place you are in.

Keeping the terms current

We revise this page when the way the site works changes, and the version published here is the one that applies. There is no archive of earlier versions and no notice period before a change takes effect, so read the page as it stands rather than as you remember it.

Continuing to read the site after a revision means the revised terms apply to that reading. If you do not accept them, the remedy is simple and it is yours: stop using the site.

Why are there no numbers or dates on this page?

Because this page is about how the site is published, not about any game or bonus, so it needs no figures. The figures you are looking for are on the pages that describe them, and each is a published figure we have re-read.

Does the paid placement affect what you write?

The commercial arrangement is disclosed where a link to our partner appears, and it does not change the figures we publish or how we describe a game. You should still check anything that matters against the operator's own current terms.
