One review record, six dated stages
- Resolve the exact domain, operator and product.
- Check official Australian guidance and the current blocked-site resources.
- Inspect public terms before opening an account.
- Record the logged-in lobby, cashier and account controls.
- Run a small, pre-budgeted transaction test where appropriate.
- Publish the test date, unresolved points and next recheck date.
Automatic fail and disclosure rules
A casino cannot buy its way past unresolved identity, cloned-domain signs, inaccessible withdrawal terms or a confirmed current block. Affiliate compensation is disclosed and never adds points. Scores expire when the evidence does: payment and terms checks need a new timestamp, and material operator changes trigger a full review.

Can affiliate commission improve a casino score?
No. Commercial arrangements are disclosed but excluded from the scoring formula.
How often are casino reviews updated?
A review is rechecked when terms, ownership, cashier behaviour or official status changes, and it carries a visible test date.
Does a high score mean a casino is legal in Australia?
No. The score includes legal-context checks but is not legal advice or an Australian licence claim.
