Interview with PayID-Pokies-Sites, your ultimate helper in the online gambling world

In the fast-changing world of online gambling, players often find themselves in a position where they need answers to questions. PayID-Pokies-Sites is a platform that was created to become such an advisor. Founded by Tony Baker, PayID-Pokies-Sites is a gambling review site for the Australian market.

What inspired you to create PayID-Pokies-Sites, and what gap in the gambling review market were you aiming to fill?  

Tony Baker: I used to be a gambler myself, so I kind of knew the market before entering it with my own website. However, the process of launching a site is way harder than you might think. My first issue happened to me at the very first stage, when I had to decide what would be the mission of the platform, is there anything new and helpful overall that I could bring to the market? Searching for answers to my questions, I found a big gap in the market — the absence of a decent platform with nicely put and easy-to-understand articles about PayID in gambling. So, that’s how the first clear idea about PayID-Pokies-Sites came up. 

How do you see the role of PayID evolving in online gambling transactions in the next five years?  

Tony Baker: I believe PayID is something that has just started evolving. Despite its already high popularity in Australia, it has barely entered the gambling world, considering its size. So, in my opinion, in two-three years, there would be no online casino without PayID. PayID will become the new crypto. 

Every product or service is unique, could you tell us about the features of PayID-Pokies-Sites that set it apart from the competition? 

Tony Baker: In establishing the PayID-Pokies-Sites, I envisioned it as a resource of great relevance to Australian gamblers. As a consequence, it was crucial for me to do something that would be both fresh and practical. One of such was our “Players Rights” page. This article is created for people who have had problems with online casinos. Interestingly, so few people who gamble understand that they have a real opportunity to advocate for their rights in online gambling. This is the mission of the “Players Rights” page in the case of other such persons. Here, they will discover which bodies to approach and how they function. In addition, one of the purposes for which this page was created is to empower gamblers to always report unethical casino operators. In this manner, we are able to help cleanse the Australian online gambling environment.

Another thing I consider very useful is our “Offers of the month” feature. When visiting our website, readers can click on the gift button in the top right corner of the screen and see the best casino promotions of the month. When choosing them, our team tries to find not only the ones with the biggest cash prize, but also those that have lower wagering requirements and higher payout rates. 

What steps, in your opinion, should one consider to remain objective when writing reviews and researching for casinos, making the task as educational as it can be?

Tony Baker: Thanks for the question. For the casino review writer as well as the casual gambler of sorts, a proper research process is paramount in the decision of whether to place a bet. Therefore, I’ll strive to provide as much information as possible in respect to the posed question.

First of all, gambling review platforms need to realise the influence they have on their readers and how important it is to provide them with verified information. To ensure this, the PayID-Pokies-Sites team always takes time to check an online casino themselves, which means that we actually register, deposit, receive welcome packs, play, meet wagering requirements, complete KYC, and withdraw. This is done to make sure that no issues appear on any of these stages.

Also, I can share tips for regular gamblers, such as visiting gambling forums. For example, we always see what other players write about online casinos on Trustpilot and Reddit. Besides, we highly recommend reviewing online casino Terms & Conditions and About Us pages. These are the ones where the casino shares the most info about itself. So, if there is no licensing info, the casino doesn’t have any certification from bodies like eCOGRA or iTechLab, and its T&Cs are overall vague and unclear, this casino is unlikely to be trustworthy.

In what ways do you update and adapt the reviews placed on the PayID-Pokies-Sites’ website for the preference of the Australian players?

Lily Harris: I think Tony’s answer actually resolves this question. But I will add my views as well. There are many aspects that determine my role as the editor-in-chief, be it the overall quality or the accuracy and pertinence of the casino review. To do so, I follow as many gambling forums as possible, as I do consider reading them to be beneficial as this enables me to be in tune concerning all of the happenings within the Aussie online gambling scene.

Furthermore, here at PayID-Pokies-Sites, we also have quite a number of social media platforms wherein our audience can contact us and ask questions, leave feedback or even make some complaints. This enables us to understand the focus and requirements of Australian players.
