The short version
Short answer
Pokie Ratings is an information site for adults 18 and over. Our reviews are opinions based on operators' published terms, not financial advice and not a guarantee of any result. We earn affiliate commission from some links. By using the site you accept these terms.
Who can use the site
You must be at least 18 to use Pokie Ratings. You are responsible for checking and following the gambling rules that apply where you live.
Information, not advice
Our reviews, ratings and guides reflect our view of each casino using the method on our how we rate page. They are general information, not financial, legal or tax advice.
We work to keep details such as bonuses, minimum deposits and withdrawal times accurate, but casinos change their terms without notice. Always read the operator's current terms before you register or deposit. If something looks out of date, please let us know through the contact page.
No guarantees
Gambling involves risk and you can lose the money you deposit. A high rating does not mean you will win, that a bonus will suit you, or that a payout will arrive within a stated time. Pokie results are random and the house always has an edge.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Free support and self-exclusion tools are listed on our responsible gambling page.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links on Pokie Ratings are affiliate links. When you click one and sign up with a casino, we may receive a commission from the operator. This costs you nothing and does not change the offer you get.
Commission does not affect our ratings or ranking order, which come from the same weighted criteria for every brand. More on how the site is funded is on our about page.
Third-party sites
Casino links take you to sites we do not run. We are not responsible for their content, payments, account decisions or privacy practices; any agreement is between you and that operator.

Questions people ask
Does a high rating mean a casino is guaranteed to pay out?
No. Our rating summarises how a casino compares on banking, bonus terms, pokies, mobile, support and licence using its published terms. It is an opinion, not a guarantee. Payouts depend on the operator's rules, your verification and your own account.
Why do you use affiliate links?
Affiliate commission is how a free review site pays for its work. When you sign up through one of our links, the casino may pay us a fee. You get exactly the same offer, and the commission plays no part in how brands are scored.
What if a bonus on your site is different at the casino?
The casino's own terms always apply. Operators change offers often, sometimes overnight. Check the cashier or promotions page before you deposit, and email us at contact@pokieratings.com so we can update the review.
Can I copy a review to my own website?
