Who publishes this site

What this site is about

Olympus Play writes about online pokies and casino bonuses for Australian readers. That means plain explanations of how games and bonus offers work, what the terms attached to an offer usually say, and what a player should check before deciding whether an offer suits them. We keep the language concrete and avoid promising outcomes.

We do not publish betting tips, systems for beating a game, or claims that any approach turns a loss into a win. Pokies outcomes are random, and the return figure attached to a game is a long-run average across an enormous number of spins. Any single session can end well behind that average, and often does.

How the published figures are compiled

Figures such as return-to-player ranges and volatility descriptions are taken from material published by the game providers themselves. We re-read that source material when we prepare or revise a page, and we date the page so a reader can see when that reading happened. If a provider changes its published figures, our page is out of step until we revise it.

We do not run our own trials, and we do not present estimates as measurements. Where a figure is not available from a published source, we leave it out rather than fill the gap. That is why some of our pages carry fewer numbers than similar sites: the numbers we print are ones we can point back to.

Where the money comes from and where it does not

Olympus Play earns money through paid placement. Where a page carries a commercial arrangement, that placement is disclosed on the page. Our commercial partner is referred to on this site as our partner, and the arrangement does not change the rules above: we still do not invent figures or publish claims about winnings.

This site is not a casino, not a sportsbook, and not an operator of any kind. We do not hold player funds, take deposits, run games or process withdrawals, and nothing here is financial, legal or tax advice. If you choose to play, you do so on a third party's platform under that operator's terms, and money you stake can be lost.

Does Olympus Play operate the pokies I read about here?

No. This site publishes information only and does not run games, hold funds or process withdrawals. Any play happens on a third party's platform under that operator's own terms.

Why do some pages show fewer figures than other sites?

Because we only print figures we can trace to published provider material, re-read and dated. Where no published source gives the number, we leave it out rather than estimate.
