Seven steps, one row
- Read the terms first and screenshot them with the date. Wagering multiple, max cashout, max bet, excluded games, time limit, ID clause. If a number isn’t in the terms, we write “not stated”, never a guess.
- Register with real details from an Australian IP. The account is in the tester’s own name; a bonus taken on a fake name is voided, and so would be the test.
- Activate exactly as a reader would: the code in the cashier, the opt-in tick, the spins on the named pokie. We note the spin value the casino set and whether the spins came in one batch.
- Play at the minimum bet and log the balance every 50 spins. Never above the max bet in the terms; a single $10.01 spin voids the run and we’d be logging our own mistake.
- Stop when the wagering bar fills or the balance hits zero. Either result is a row. We don’t top up, and we don’t deposit to “rescue” a bonus: the test is the bonus on its own.
- Upload ID before requesting the payout, then request it and count business days from the request to the money landing. Holds and document requests are logged with dates.
- Publish the row within a week, with the terms as they read on the day. If the casino changes the terms later, the row keeps the old numbers and gains a note.
What a row contains
| Field | What goes in it |
|---|---|
| Casino and bonus | the casino and the bonus as its promotions page names it |
| Date activated | the day the chip or the spins were credited |
| Terms on the day | wagering multiple · max cashout · max bet · the ID or document clause |
| Spin value / game | the value the casino set per spin · the pokie the spins were locked to |
| Result | withdrew $X, or ended at $0 after N spins |
| Days to payout | business days from the request to the money landing, with any ID request dated |
That table describes the fields, not results: as of 29 September 2026 no activation has been logged, and the test log on the home page says so in plain words. The first three tests are queued at Ozwin, Uptown Pokies and Fair Go.
What we don’t do
- We don’t take bonuses on a VPN outside Australia and call them Australian tests.
- We don’t run several accounts at one casino; one tester, one account, one bonus.
- We don’t publish a result we can’t screenshot: the cashier page with the balance, the withdrawal request and the bank or wallet credit.
- We don’t accept a bonus or a payment from a casino to run a test, and no casino sees a row before it’s published.
Why the maths sits next to the log
A test is one run of a random process; the maths is the average of all of them. A row that says “withdrew $37” doesn’t make 60× a good deal, and a row that says “ended $0” doesn’t make it a scam. The receipts on the home page and the wagering calculator are there so that every row has its expected value printed beside it.
