About Us

Independent. Australian.
Honest about pokies.

Dragons Riches Guide is an independent player resource — not affiliated with any casino or game developer. We cover one game in depth so you can make informed decisions before you play.

📊
Data-Verified RTPs

We source RTP figures from operator disclosures and cross-check against regulator databases. No unverified claims.

🎰
Real Casino Testing

Every casino we list has been registered, deposited, and tested by our team. We note withdrawal times from personal experience.

🛡
Responsible Gambling First

All guides set realistic expectations. We prominently link to Gambling Help Online and BetStop on every page.

🔗
Affiliate Disclosure

Some casino links are affiliate links. This never affects editorial scores — we disclose all commercial relationships.

Who writes these guides

Returns & Maths Desk
Return-to-player analysis
Covering since 2021

Every return figure we publish is checked against the operator's own paytable and the game provider's disclosure, and we say which of the two we used when they disagree. Session calculators are re-run against the published maths before each update, and a figure we cannot source is left out rather than estimated.

Casino Reviews Desk
Reviews and bonus terms
Covering since 2021

We open an account at each casino we write about, run a deposit and a withdrawal, and record what actually happened — including the waits. Bonus terms are quoted from the operator's own page on the day we read it, and we re-read them before every update because offers move without notice.

Safer Play Desk
Harm reduction and compliance
Covering since 2022

We review each guide for whether a reader finishes it with realistic expectations, remove copy that treats winning as the default outcome, and keep help-line details on every page as the ACMA guidance requires.

Editorial Policy

Independence. No casino pays for editorial placement or review scores. Our "Top Pick" designation reflects wagering requirement value and withdrawal performance — not commission rates.

Accuracy. RTP figures are sourced from operator help pages, regulator databases (ACMA, MGA, UKGC), or official Aristocrat documentation. When sources conflict we note both figures and explain the discrepancy.

Affiliate disclosure. Some links on this site are affiliate links marked rel="sponsored". When you register through these links, we may receive a referral commission from the casino at no cost to you. This does not influence editorial content.

Updates. Casino bonus offers change frequently. We review casino data quarterly and update pages when significant changes occur. Each page carries a "Last updated" date at the top.

Corrections. Found an error? Our team reviews every correction request. Contact via the feedback form and we respond within 48 hours.

Play Responsibly

Pokies are designed to be entertaining. Set a budget before you play, take regular breaks, and only gamble with money you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, help is available.
