About this site

The scope of our coverage

Big Bamboo Play publishes reference pages about pokies and casino bonuses for Australian readers. That means plain descriptions of how games are structured and how bonus terms work, written so an adult can read them before deciding whether to spend anything at all. We describe mechanics and conditions rather than pushing anyone towards a particular game.

We do not run a casino, take deposits, hold player funds or process withdrawals. Every commercial arrangement we have is with a partner, and where that arrangement affects what you read, we say so. Games and bonus terms change, so treat anything published here as a summary that may fall out of step with a provider's current terms.

How the numbers are calculated

Where a page states a return figure such as RTP, that number comes from the game provider's own published material. We re-read the source, record it, and date the page so a reader can see when it was last checked. If a provider does not publish a figure, we leave it out rather than estimate one.

A published return figure is a long-run average across a very large number of spins. It is not a promise about any session, and no amount of play changes the next result. Bonuses and their conditions are described from the terms as published; the terms that apply to your account are the ones shown to you by our partner.

Where the money to run this site comes from

Big Bamboo Play earns money through a paid placement with our partner. That commercial relationship is disclosed on the pages it affects, so a reader can weigh what they are reading with that in mind. The partner is referred to only as our partner, never by name.

The paid placement does not give the partner any say over how we describe games, returns or bonus conditions. We do not publish invented figures, and we do not promise winnings. If a claim cannot be tied back to published provider material, it does not go on the page.

Where this site draws the line

This site is not financial, legal or tax advice, and nothing here should be read as a recommendation to gamble. It is not a casino and not an operator: we do not offer accounts, accept payments or hold any money on a player's behalf. Any gambling you do is between you and the operator you choose.

We cannot help with a dispute, a locked account or a missing withdrawal, because we are not part of that transaction. If gambling is costing you more than you can afford, step away and look for support services in your state or territory. Read the terms yourself before you commit any money.

Am I playing on this site?

No. Big Bamboo Play is a reference site only and does not host games or take payments. Games are played on our partner's site, under their terms and their account rules.

Does the paid placement change what you write?

The arrangement is disclosed, and our partner has no say over how games, returns or bonus conditions are described. Figures come from provider material, re-read and dated, and anything we cannot source is left off the page.
