We publish lottery and gambling information for readers in Victoria and across Australia. Our editorial approach is straightforward: we rely on primary sources and update content when operators change their rules or regulators flag an issue. If you spot an error, contact us at [email protected].
Sources we accept
We cite operator filings, terms-and-conditions pages, and official registers maintained by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission. When an operator publishes odds, draw schedules, or licence numbers on its own website, we treat that as authoritative. We cross-reference those details against regulator databases where available. If a fact appears on an operator's site but is absent from the register, we note the discrepancy rather than suppress the information.
Sources we reject
We do not cite offshore lottery-betting sites that accept wagers on the outcome of overseas draws but hold no Australian licence. These services operate in a legal grey area and often misrepresent themselves as official lottery retailers. We also disregard affiliate listicles, press releases that lack verifiable data, and user forums where claims go unchecked. If an operator's marketing material contradicts its published terms, we defer to the terms.
What triggers an update
We revisit a page when an operator changes its rules, a licence is suspended or revoked, or a reader sends a documented correction. Regulatory announcements from the VGCCC prompt an immediate review of affected entries. We also schedule quarterly checks of high-traffic pages to catch quieter changes—such as adjusted minimum-age wording or new responsible-gambling links—that operators introduce without fanfare. Reader corrections are welcome. Send evidence to [email protected] and we will investigate within five business days.
What a correction looks like
When we fix a factual error, we add a dated note at the top of the page explaining what was wrong and when we corrected it. Minor typos and style tweaks do not warrant a note. Material errors—wrong odds, incorrect licence numbers, outdated operator names—do. The note remains visible for 90 days, after which we fold the correction into the page's revision history. Transparency matters more than a spotless record.
