A method is worth publishing because it can be argued with. This page sets out which sources this site relies on, which claims it will not make, and why several pages here deliberately say less than a comparison table would.

The three tiers of statement used here

Everything on this site is treated as one of three kinds of statement, and the tier decides how it may be written. A legal or regulatory position is stated plainly and only where it is well established, such as the Western Australian rule that permits gaming machines only at Crown Perth. An operator detail is attributed to the operator and dated, because terms change without notice. An evaluation is avoided, because this site cannot audit a game, a payout record or an internal process from outside. Pages that look thin on verdicts are thin for that reason rather than by oversight.

Established position

Law and regulation that can be stated directly, such as the single-venue arrangement for gaming machines in this state.

Attributed detail

Anything an operator publishes about itself, written as its claim and with the date it was read.

Avoided entirely

Verdicts about fairness, payout speed or trust. There is no way to establish them from outside the company.

The Western Australian facts this site relies on

A short list does most of the work across the site, and it is worth stating so a reader can check it rather than take it on faith. Gambling in this state is regulated by the Gaming and Wagering Commission of Western Australia. Gaming machines are permitted only at Crown Perth, which is why pubs and clubs here have none. Metropolitan thoroughbred racing in Perth runs at Ascot and Belmont Park, and the state racing year runs opposite the eastern one. Western Australia keeps one time all year, so the gap to Sydney is two hours for part of it and three for the rest.

  • The Gaming and Wagering Commission of Western Australia regulates gambling in this state.
  • Gaming machines are permitted only at Crown Perth, and no pub or club here holds any.
  • Ascot and Belmont Park are the Perth metropolitan thoroughbred tracks.
  • The local racing season runs opposite the eastern one.
  • Australian Western Standard Time does not shift, leaving a two or three hour gap to Sydney.

The national facts, and the ones that are not facts

Four national points recur and are stated the same way every time. Betting on sport and racing with a bookmaker licensed in an Australian state or territory is lawful. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 prohibits offering online casino games to people in Australia and does not make playing them an offence. No online casino holds an Australian licence. BetStop is the national self-exclusion register for licensed Australian online wagering and does not cover online casinos. Anything beyond that list which cannot be read in a document is left out, including venue names, payout statistics and the condition of any particular operator.

  • Licensed Australian sport and racing wagering is lawful.
  • Offering online casino games to Australians is prohibited; playing is not an offence.
  • No online casino holds an Australian licence of any kind.
  • BetStop covers the licensed Australian online wagering sector and not casinos.
  • Claims that cannot be read in a document are not published here at all.

What this site refuses to publish

The refusals are as much a part of the method as the sources. This site does not invent venues, so you will not find a list of Western Australian pubs with gaming machines on it, for the simple reason that there are none. It does not publish a payout percentage it cannot verify, a withdrawal time it has not been shown, or a trust score of any kind. It does not claim an operator is licensed in Australia unless the licensing jurisdiction is named in that operator's own terms. And it does not predict results, because no page can and any page implying otherwise is selling something.

  • No invented venues, because this state's gaming machines sit at Crown Perth alone.
  • No payout percentages, withdrawal times or trust scores that cannot be sourced.
  • No claim of an Australian licence without the jurisdiction named in the operator's terms.
  • No predictions, tips or guarantees about any result.
  • No implication that a regulator will act where it has no remit.

The commercial disclosure, in plain terms

This site carries advertising. The partner links and the promotional blocks on these pages pay a commission when a reader opens an account from them, and that is true of every page including this one. The disclosure matters because it is the context for everything else: a reader who knows a page is paid can weight it properly, and a reader who does not cannot. What the arrangement does not change is the factual material above, which is why the legal and regulatory statements on this site are kept to points that can be checked independently of anybody's commercial interest.

Paid links

Partner links and promotional blocks earn a commission when an account is opened. They are advertising and are labelled as such.

No licence held

This site is a publisher. It takes no bets, holds no funds, operates no games and holds no gambling licence anywhere.

Check it yourself

Every factual claim here is kept to material a reader can verify independently, which is the point of publishing the list above.

Method does not reduce risk
