About the Publisher of These Pages

1. What these pages are

1.1 Nature of the pages

A small editorial desk issues these pages as reference material on Stoked Casino for readers who live in Australia. The desk is separate from the casino. It does not hold accounts, take deposits or pay out winnings, and nothing on the pages commits the operator to anything.

1.2 Questions answered

The pages deal with practical questions about one brand: what registration involves, how a bonus is worked out, what a phone can and cannot do, and how money moves through the cashier. Amounts are in Australian dollars throughout.

2. Audience and exclusions

2.1 Intended readers

The pages are for adults aged 18 or over who live in Australia. Rules on gambling vary between states and territories, and each reader answers for acting within the law that applies to them. The pages carry no encouragement to gamble.

2.2 Verdicts and forecasts

There is no rating, no ranking against other casinos and no view on whether an offer is worthwhile. Nor do the pages predict how a game will pay.

2.3 Advice

Questions of law, tax or personal finance belong with a qualified adviser. Promotion codes are not published.

2.4 Scope of each page

Each page keeps to its own subject. The registration page deals with opening an account, the bonus page with offer arithmetic and conditions, the app page with phone access, the payments page with the cashier, and the service pages with the publication itself. A question that belongs on another page is answered there and not repeated.

2.5 Languages and style

The pages are written in Australian English in a plain, formal register. They avoid marketing language, and they do not describe any feature of the casino as the best, the fastest or the safest.

3. Independence

3.1 Relationship with the operator

The operator does not read or approve the pages before publication and cannot change them on request. Where a page and the operator’s current terms differ, the terms control.

3.2 Sponsorship

The desk does not accept sponsored text, paid placement or material supplied by the operator. A statement that cannot be supported from the brand’s published conditions is left out.

3.3 Limits of the desk

The desk has no access to any player’s account and cannot confirm a balance, a payment or a verification result. Those questions belong with the operator’s support, and the desk can only explain conditions the operator has published.

4. People and accountability

4.1 Drafting and second reading

The pages are drafted under one byline and read again by a second editor before release. The second reading looks for claims that the brand’s pages do not support and for wording that sounds like a promise.

4.2 Byline

The pages carry the byline Declan Hartwell, a working name chosen by the desk. The author page says what the name does and does not stand for.

4.3 Reports and complaints

A reader who thinks a page is unfair, misleading or out of date can say so through the editorial address. The report is read against the brand’s published terms, and the reply states whether the page was changed and why.

5. Editions and updates

5.1 Review dates

Each page shows the date of its latest review. When the brand changes a term that matters to a reader’s money, such as the minimum deposit or the bonus percentage, the affected pages are revised together so that no two of them state the same figure differently.

5.2 Related documents

This statement describes the publication as a whole. The author page describes the method. How the pages may be quoted and relied on is set out in the terms of use, and the handling of messages is set out in the privacy notice.

5.3 Help with gambling

Anyone worried about their own gambling or someone else’s can call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858, free and at any hour.

5.4 Corrections log

Every confirmed change to a page is entered in a record kept by the desk with the date, the page and the reason, so that the history of a statement can be reconstructed if a reader asks.

5.5 Withdrawal of a page

A page that can no longer be kept accurate, for example because the brand has withdrawn the offer it describes, is taken down and not left online with a warning.

5.6 Frequency of review

Bonus, payment and verification details are looked at most often, because they change most often. Descriptions of the site’s general layout and game categories are reviewed less frequently.
