Who publishes this site

What this site publishes

Pandamagicpokies.com writes about pokies and casino bonuses for an Australian audience. That means plain explanations of how online pokies work, what the published return figure on a game actually means, how bonus terms are structured, and what to check before taking a bonus. We also cover the practical side of holding an account: verification, withdrawal conditions and the records a player should keep.

We write for adults who are spending their own money and want to understand the terms before they do. Nothing on the site is written for people under eighteen. Where a topic involves risk to a reader's money, we say so in the article rather than leaving it to a footer.

Our data sources explained

Every figure we quote is taken from material published by the game provider, the operator or a regulator. We do not estimate, round up or fill gaps. When we re-read a source and the figure has changed, we update the page and date the update so a reader can see how current the information is.

If a source does not publish a figure, we leave it out rather than repeat it from memory or from another site. A return figure is a long-run average across a very large number of spins. It is not a prediction for a session, and no arrangement of spins changes it.

Where the money behind this site comes from

The site earns money through a paid placement. Where we write about our partner, that relationship is disclosed on the page where it appears, in plain words, near the top rather than buried. The partner does not see articles before publication and does not set the conclusions.

A paid placement is a commercial arrangement, not a review score, and we do not present it as one. Readers are free to use the information or ignore it. Nothing here promises winnings, and no article on this site describes a way to beat a game.

What this site does not claim to be

This site is not a casino and not an operator. We do not hold accounts for players, take deposits, hold money, run games or process withdrawals. Any account you open, and any money you move, sits with a licensed operator and is governed by that operator's terms and the licence it holds.

What we publish is general information, not financial, legal or tax advice, and it is not tailored to your circumstances. If you need advice about your own money or a gambling problem, speak to a qualified professional or a gambling support service. We are an editorial desk, and that is the limit of what we do.

Does this site take deposits or hold my money?

No. We are a publisher, not a casino or an operator. Any money you deposit or withdraw sits with a licensed operator under its own terms.

Can I trust the figures in your articles?

They are copied from material published by providers, operators or regulators, and we re-read the sources and date the pages when they change. Where a figure is not published, we leave it out rather than guess.
