Our position

Gambling carries real risk of harm. Our coverage of machines, tables and venue design is written for a professional and informed readership, and is never an encouragement to gamble. We do not publish operator rankings, affiliate links, promotional codes or betting guidance.

Harm minimisation

Where we report on cashless play, pre-commitment limits, carded play, closing hours or self-exclusion registers, we describe the state of the measure — proposed, adopted, effective or under review — so that readers are not left with a misleading impression of the rules in their jurisdiction.
