Privacy & Terms
About This Site
PokieScout.com.au ("Pokie Scout", "we", "us") is an independent casino comparison and review site. The site is operated by Daniel Carr, trading as Pokie Scout, an independent publisher based in Australia. We are not an online gambling operator and do not accept deposits or provide gambling services.
Affiliate Disclosure
Pokie Scout earns commission when you register an account or make a deposit at a casino via our referral links. These links are marked rel="nofollow noopener" and are clearly identified as affiliate links throughout the site.
Commission relationships do not influence editorial ratings. Casinos cannot pay to improve their score, be added to our list, or have negative information removed. Our ranking methodology is published on the How We Rate page.
Data We Collect
Analytics
We use web analytics software to understand how visitors use the site. This may include pages visited, time on site, device type, browser, and approximate geographic region (country/state level). We do not collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
Contact Forms
If you contact us, we collect the information you provide (name, email, message). This is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties.
Cookies
We use cookies for analytics and to remember site preferences. No personally identifiable data is stored in cookies. Affiliate cookies may be set when you click through to a casino — these are operated by the respective affiliate program, not by Pokie Scout.
Data We Don't Collect
- Financial information (we are not a payment processor)
- Government identifiers (TFN, passport number)
- Gambling account credentials or balances
- Information from minors (this site is for adults 18+ only)
Third-Party Links
This site links to external casino operators. Once you leave pokiescout.com.au, this privacy policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit via our links — casino operators are subject to their own licensing and data collection obligations.
Your Rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if that information is inaccurate. To make such a request, contact us via the details on our About page. We will respond within 30 days.
Legal Disclaimer
The information on this site is for entertainment and informational purposes only. We do not provide legal, financial, or gambling advice. Online casino gambling involves financial risk. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 restricts certain gambling services — the casinos reviewed on this site hold offshore licences and accept Australian players at their own discretion. Playing at offshore casinos is a personal decision.
You must be 18 or older to gamble. If gambling is causing harm, call 1800 858 858 for free confidential support.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically. Material changes will be noted with an updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
