Lachie Doyle

G'day - here's the deal

My name's Lachie and I'm from Ipswich, which is west of Brisbane. I've been punting since I was old enough to go into the local pub with the old man on a Saturday afternoon. TAB and the pokies at the RSL back then.

I started this site not because I'm some bloke who thinks this is a great marketing opportunity for the industry. When I first started playing online plinko and crash games I couldn't find a single Australian website that tested the casinos properly. All the reviews seemed to be written by people who had never put a dollar into any of these games. That was pretty ordinary so I decided to do it myself.

How I ended up down this rabbit hole

After my trade I was working in the Pilbara area doing fly-in, fly-out work. That's where I first started playing online games - pokies, sports betting then I discovered JetX whilst on a trip and I was hooked on the crash games.

The crash and plinko games had some pretty terrible information about them. Half the Australian sites that I found had the website written from overseas with no understanding of how to accept AUD deposits, Neosurf vouchers or what the wagering requirements would be for these sites. Some even promoted casinos that had hundreds of complaints that had yet to be resolved. Not the best experience for punters.

I began to keep a spreadsheet of the games that paid out and those that didn't. It was a record of all the casinos that I had tested so I could present this on this website.

What I actually do before recommending a casino

All the casinos on this site have been tested using a real AUD deposit so you won't find the usual dodgy demo games or borrowed casino accounts. It's my own money, my own account from a Queensland IP address.

• I read all the terms and conditions. Every page of the site. I care about the withdrawal limits, the betting limits, the maximum bets and any policies that may affect the ability to withdraw winnings.
• When I play on these sites, I make a real deposit into their systems. The minimum is $50 AUD but most times more. I test the deposit features to see if they will accept AUD deposits and if they offer good options for Australian punters.
• I play the crash and plinko games specifically because this site is about crash and plinko games only. The providers of the games, how they work on mobile devices and if they pay out according to the advertised RTP.
• I request a withdrawal to test how long it will take for the winnings to be credited to my account. Any delays without reason will be mentioned on the websites.
• Before publishing the reviews on these casinos, I always cross-check the data on the number of unresolved complaints at these casinos. Any casino with over 50 unresolved complaints will not be represented on this site.

What I won't do

It doesn't matter how good the commission they pay to play at their site. In the last year alone I've turned down offers from two different casinos who I would not stand behind.

I will not hide from the weaknesses of these casinos. If they have low withdrawal limits, bad bonus offers or issues with their customer service we will mention that on this website because it's relevant to the punters who may win from these games.

This will not be a white glove gambling industry website. I'm from Ipswich and I first got into playing crash games while living in a FIFO camp.
