About AU Casinos
We're a team of iGaming journalists dedicated to providing honest, transparent casino reviews for Australian players. No paid placements, no hidden agendas – just the truth about online gambling.
Our Mission
AU Casinos was founded with a simple goal: cut through the noise and give Aussie players the information they actually need. The online casino industry is full of biased reviews, fake ratings, and misleading bonus claims. We wanted to be different.
Every casino we review goes through a rigorous testing process. We deposit real money, play real games, and request real withdrawals. If a casino takes forever to pay out or has dodgy terms buried in the fine print, we'll tell you. Our reputation depends on being honest, even when it costs us affiliate revenue.
Our Research Process
We don't rely on press releases or marketing materials. Our reviewers spend days testing each platform, documenting everything from registration to cashout. Here's what we examine:
- Licensing and regulatory compliance verification
- SSL encryption and security audit checks
- Game library testing across multiple devices
- Customer support response times and quality
- Withdrawal processing speeds with multiple payment methods
- Bonus terms analysis (wagering requirements, max bets, game restrictions)
We update our reviews regularly and re-test casinos that have changed ownership or received complaints. The industry moves fast, and outdated information helps nobody.
Our Team
AU Casinos is run by experienced iGaming professionals with combined experience exceeding 40 years in the industry. Our lead reviewer, Marcus Thornton, has been covering online gambling since 2009. He's seen casinos come and go, watched payment methods evolve, and has first-hand experience with both excellent operators and outright scams.
We're based in Australia and understand the unique challenges Aussie players face – from limited banking options to timezone differences with support teams. This local perspective informs every review we write.
Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency matters. AU Casinos earns money through affiliate partnerships with some of the casinos we review. When you click a link and sign up, we may receive a commission. However, this never influences our ratings or recommendations.
We've given negative reviews to casinos that offered us higher commissions, and we've recommended sites with lower payouts because they genuinely serve players better. Our editorial integrity isn't for sale.
