What we write about
The reviews desk covers the Dragons Riches pokie and the Australian-facing casinos that carry it. That means the published return-to-player figure and how it behaves across the base game and the free-spins round, the odds behind the paytable, and what a demo version can and cannot tell you. We also write about staking plans and session limits, though we treat most strategy claims with caution.
We do not cover every pokie on the market. The site stays on Dragons Riches and the operators that list it, so that a reader comparing two casinos is comparing the same game under the same rules. Where a casino offers the title only in demo, we say so plainly.
Where the data comes from
Figures on this site come from the game’s own published information and from what the casinos themselves display in their lobbies and help pages. Where an operator publishes a different RTP from the developer’s figure, we note both rather than pick one. Odds and paytable detail are read from the game itself, not from affiliate summaries.
We do not run our own RNG testing and we do not claim to. If a number cannot be traced to the game or the operator, it does not go on the page. Where something is unclear, we say it is unclear instead of filling the gap.
What we check at the cashier
Before a casino is listed here, we open the cashier and look at what it actually accepts. The sites we cover take VISA, MasterCard and crypto — USDT, BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE and TRX. We note withdrawal times, minimum and maximum amounts, and whether fees appear at the point of deposit or only on the way out.
We also record what is not accepted, because that matters as much. PayID, POLi, Neosurf and BPAY are not accepted at the cashier. If a reader arrives expecting one of those methods, better to know before signing up than after.
How we make money
The site earns through affiliate arrangements. When a reader follows a link to a casino and signs up, we may receive a payment from that operator. This is how the site is funded, and it is the only revenue we take.
That arrangement does not decide what goes on a page. A casino that pays well but handles withdrawals badly, or that lists a different RTP from the developer’s, gets that written down. We would rather lose a commission than send a reader somewhere we would not deposit ourselves.
When we get something wrong
Pokie RTP figures, cashier methods and bonus terms change without much warning. A page that was accurate in March can be wrong by June. When a reader writes to tell us something is out of date, we check it against the game and the operator and correct the page.
Corrections are made to the page itself rather than buried elsewhere. If we cannot verify a correction, we remove the claim rather than leave it standing. The reviews desk would rather publish less and be right than publish more and be wrong.
