Transparency and accuracy are the foundation of every review and comparison we publish. This page details our editorial standards, review methodology, and affiliate disclosure.
Every online casino featured on AussieCasino Expert Guide undergoes a comprehensive multi-stage review process before any rating is assigned. Our methodology is designed to provide Australian players with objective, data-driven assessments that reflect the real-world experience of using each platform. We do not rely on operator-supplied marketing materials or self-reported statistics; instead, we conduct our own empirical testing across multiple dimensions.
Each review begins with a real-money registration and deposit, followed by a minimum thirty-day testing period during which we evaluate the platform across all core assessment categories. Multiple team members independently assess each casino to reduce individual bias and ensure consistency in our evaluations.
Our proprietary scoring framework evaluates casinos across seven core categories, each carrying a weighted score that reflects its relative importance to the Australian player experience:
Ratings are updated monthly to reflect changes in service quality, bonus terms, payment processing, or regulatory standing. Any significant change triggers an immediate re-evaluation of the affected platform.
Our editorial team operates independently from commercial relationships. Casino operators cannot pay for higher ratings, preferred placement in our rankings, or the suppression of negative findings. Every rating published on this site reflects our team's honest assessment based on empirical testing and professional judgement. Editorial decisions are made solely by our review team, with no input or approval required from casino operators or affiliate partners.
AussieCasino Expert Guide contains affiliate links. When you click on a link to a casino and register or make a deposit, we may receive a commission from the casino operator. This is the primary way we fund our operations and sustain our editorial team. We want to be completely transparent about this relationship.
Importantly, affiliate commissions never influence our ratings or editorial recommendations. We have declined affiliate partnerships with operators that failed our review standards, and we have published critical reviews of platforms that offer affiliate commissions. Our commitment to editorial integrity takes precedence over commercial considerations in every case.
All content published on AussieCasino Expert Guide undergoes a dual-review process. The primary author conducts the initial review and drafts the assessment, which is then independently verified by our editorial director. This two-stage process ensures accuracy in factual claims, consistency in rating application, and compliance with our editorial standards. All articles display a "Last Updated" date and a "Reviewed by Editor" date, providing readers with transparent information about the currency and verification status of our content.
If you have questions about our methodology, wish to report inaccuracies, or want to provide feedback on our reviews, please reach out through our Contact page. We take all reader feedback seriously and will investigate any factual concerns promptly.
