About Pokies Explained
Pokies Explained is an independent information site. We explain how poker machines work and how gambling is regulated in Australia, in language anyone can follow.
What we do and don't do
We publish explainers based on public information from regulators, government sources and published research. We do not operate any gambling service, we do not review or recommend casinos or bookmakers, and we do not earn commissions or accept payment from gambling operators.
A note on this domain
This web address previously hosted a site promoting an offshore online casino to Australian players. That content has been removed permanently. The site now focuses only on independent information and harm-reduction resources.
How we check facts
Where we describe laws and regulations, we rely on official sources such as the Australian Communications and Media Authority and state and territory regulators. Laws change, so each page shows when it was last reviewed. If you spot something out of date or wrong, please tell us and we will correct it.
