About us
Likecanberra is an independent English-language review site for adults in Australia who want a clear, sober comparison of online casino brands. We currently compare 9 brands and focus on the details that matter after sign-up: licensing information, game libraries, bonus terms, deposit and withdrawal options, support quality and how each site works on a phone. Our reviews are written for readers who prefer facts and plain language over hype, and who want to understand the risks as well as the features.
Our mission
Our mission is to help Australian readers make informed, careful decisions before they hand over personal details or money to any online casino. That means explaining terms in plain English, showing where wagering requirements or withdrawal limits may cause problems, and being honest when a brand falls short. We do not promise winnings, and we treat gambling as paid entertainment that carries real risk. If a review helps someone decide not to play at all, we consider that a useful outcome too.
What we stand for
Independence first
Our editorial team decides rankings using the same criteria for every brand. Commercial partners cannot buy a position, edit a review or remove a criticism, and we say so plainly when a partner brand scores poorly.
Plain, accurate language
We avoid marketing phrases and explain conditions such as wagering, maximum bets and verification checks in words a first-time reader can follow. When something is unclear on a casino's own site, we say that it is unclear.
Safer gambling matters
Every review covers deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools where a casino offers them. We point readers to Gambling Help Online and remind them that gambling should never be used to solve money problems or to chase losses.
Open about mistakes
Terms and payment options change often. When we get something wrong or a detail goes out of date, we correct it, note the change and welcome reports from readers through our editorial address.
Our team
How we operate
Each brand is reviewed by Liam Fitzgerald, our lead author and Senior Casino Analyst. Where possible, he opens an account, reads the full terms, checks the game lobby and tests deposits, withdrawals and support contacts. One of our editors, Sophie Mitchell, Jack Thompson or Chloe Harris, then checks his findings, verifies facts against the casino's published terms and queries anything that looks vague. Scores follow a fixed methodology applied equally to all 9 brands. Commercial staff have no say in scores, wording or the order of our lists.
How we make money
Likecanberra is free to read. We may earn a commission when a reader visits a partner casino through one of our links and signs up. This does not change the price or the offer for the reader. Partnership discussions are handled separately through partners@likecanberra.com, and editors do not see commercial terms when they score a brand. A brand with a commercial agreement can still rank low, and we will not hide weaknesses to protect a partnership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Likecanberra a casino or gambling operator?+
No. We are an independent review website. We do not offer any games, accept bets or hold player funds. We publish comparisons and explanations only. Any account you open is with the casino itself, so its own terms, verification rules and complaint procedures apply. Read them carefully before you deposit any money.
Why do you only compare 9 brands?+
We prefer to cover a smaller number of brands in depth rather than list many sites we cannot check properly. Keeping the list to 9 brands lets us revisit terms, payment methods and support quality more regularly, and correct details faster when they change. The list may change if a brand no longer meets our criteria.
Is online casino play legal in Australia?+
Australian law, mainly the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, restricts which online gambling services can be offered to people in Australia, and the rules differ from those for sports betting. We are not legal advisers. Before signing up anywhere, check the current official guidance from the Australian Communications and Media Authority and make sure you understand your position.
How can I contact the team?+
For corrections or questions about a review, email editor@likecanberra.com and include the page and the detail concerned. Send general questions to info@likecanberra.com and commercial enquiries to partners@likecanberra.com. We read every message, although we cannot resolve disputes with a casino on your behalf.
