About us
Supermotoaustralia is an independent review website focused on online pokies and the casino sites that offer them to players in Australia. We compare 9 brands side by side, looking at game libraries, bonus terms, payment options and how each site treats its customers when something goes wrong. The site is written for Australian adults who want plain, checked information before they deposit. Our lead author, Daniel Whitford, and our editors keep every page grounded in what we actually observed.
Our mission
Our mission is to make online pokies easier to understand and safer to approach. That means explaining how wagering requirements, withdrawal limits and game volatility really work, and showing where a casino falls short as clearly as where it does well. We want readers to leave with realistic expectations: pokies are entertainment with a built-in house edge, not a way to earn money. If a page helps someone set a budget, skip a misleading offer or choose a fairer site, it has done its job.
What we stand for
Independence first
The editorial team decides rankings based on testing notes and published criteria. Commercial partners cannot buy a position, review a draft before publication or ask us to remove criticism they disagree with.
Accuracy over speed
We would rather publish a day later than publish something wrong. Bonus terms, payment details and game information are checked against the casino's own pages, and errors are fixed openly through our corrections process.
Plain, honest language
We avoid hype, invented superlatives and promises of winnings. Pages explain terms in everyday English so readers can compare offers without having to decode fine print or marketing slogans first.
Player wellbeing
Every review keeps safer gambling in view. We point readers to deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools, and we mark down sites that make those tools hard to find or awkward to use.
Our team
How we operate
Each of the 9 brands we compare is reviewed using the same methodology. A reviewer opens an account, checks the casino's published licensing information, plays a range of pokies, reads the full bonus terms, contacts support and tests deposits and withdrawals where possible. The notes then go to one of our editors, Sarah McAllister, Liam O'Connor or Emma Clarke, who checks the facts and challenges any conclusion the evidence does not support. Daniel Whitford signs off the final rankings. Commercial relationships are handled separately and have no say in scores.
How we make money
Supermotoaustralia may earn a commission when a reader signs up with a casino through some links on our pages. This funds our testing and editing, and it costs readers nothing extra. Commission rates are never shared with reviewers when scores are set, and a brand can be marked down or lose its position whether or not we have a partner agreement with it. Partnership enquiries go to a separate inbox and are kept apart from editorial work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Supermotoaustralia a casino?+
No. We do not offer games, take deposits or hold player funds. We are an independent review website that compares 9 online casino brands and explains their pokies, bonuses and payment terms. Any account you open is with the casino itself, so its own terms, licensing details and support channels apply to your play.
Who writes the reviews?+
Reviews are led by Daniel Whitford, our Senior Casino Analyst, who has 12 years of experience in the industry. Each review is checked by one of our editors, Sarah McAllister, Liam O'Connor or Emma Clarke, before it goes live. Author names appear on our pages so readers always know who is responsible for the content they are reading.
Are online pokies legal for players in Australia?+
Australian law, mainly the Interactive Gambling Act, restricts which online gambling services can be offered to people in Australia, and the rules can change. We describe each casino's licensing information as the operator publishes it, but we cannot give legal advice. Readers should check the current rules for their own situation and only play where they accept the legal and financial risks.
What should I do if gambling stops being fun?+
Stop playing and use the tools available, such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion at the casino. Free, confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online, and BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, covers licensed Australian wagering providers. Reaching out early makes a real difference, and no offer on any site is worth chasing losses for.
