Terms

Using this site

ThePokies AU is an independent editorial site. Everything here is information and opinion for general reading, aimed at Australian adults trying to understand the risks around an offshore casino. By using the site you accept the plain-English terms below. If any of them do not sit right with you, please do not rely on the site.

Information, not advice

Our coverage is journalism and review, not professional guidance. Nothing on this site is legal, financial or tax advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional about your own situation. We research carefully and hedge what we cannot confirm, but we make no warranty that every detail is complete, current or error-free. Mirror domains, bonus terms and operator behaviour change without notice, so treat any specific figure as a snapshot and verify it yourself before acting on it.

External risk: ThePokies is not licensed for Australian bets and has been ACMA-blocked since June 2022. Any decision to visit a mirror or deposit money is entirely your own, at your own risk. There is no Australian regulator to escalate an offshore operator to and no chargeback guarantee, and we cannot recover funds. Gambling can lose you money.

Who we are and who we are not

This site is independent and is not owned by, operated by, or affiliated with The Pokies, Digibrite SRL or any casino operator. We use the operator's names and mirror numbers for the purpose of review, comparison and public-interest reporting, which is a legitimate editorial use. Referring to a brand does not imply any endorsement, partnership or approval, in either direction. Where a link is sponsored we mark it, and our affiliate disclosure explains how that works.

Your responsibilities

The site is for adults aged 18 and over. Use it lawfully and reasonably: do not misuse the contact form, do not submit false reports, and do not copy the content as if it were your own. We may update these terms or the content at any time as the mirror network and our research change. For anything you need to raise with us, use the contact page, and if the gambling itself is a problem, Gambling Help Online is on 1800 858 858.
