Last updated: January 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at dulcimers.com.au ("the Site", "we", "us", or "our"). Please read these Terms carefully before using the Site.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using dulcimers.com.au, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other notices published on the Site. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site immediately.
We reserve the right to refuse access to the Site to any person at our sole discretion, without notice or explanation.
2. Site Purpose
dulcimers.com.au is an independent informational and review website focused on helping Australian visitors find and compare pokies venues and online casinos ("pokies near me" content). The Site provides guides, reviews, comparisons, news, and general information relating to gambling products and services available in Australia.
We are not a gambling operator. dulcimers.com.au does not:
- accept, process, or hold wagers or bets of any kind;
- operate, manage, or control any casino, pokies venue, or gambling platform;
- hold or process player funds, deposits, or withdrawals;
- provide gambling services within the meaning of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) or any state or territory legislation; or
- act as an agent, representative, or partner of any gambling operator in respect of the provision of gambling services.
Any gambling activity you choose to undertake takes place entirely on third-party websites or venues, under their own terms and conditions, and at your own risk.
3. Age Restriction
The Site is intended solely for persons who are at least 18 years of age, or the higher minimum legal gambling age applicable in their state, territory, or jurisdiction of residence, whichever is greater.
By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. We do not knowingly collect or publish content directed at minors. If you are under 18 years of age, you must leave the Site immediately. If we become aware that a user is underage, we reserve the right to block their access.
If you or someone you know is experiencing problems with gambling, free and confidential support is available in Australia through Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) and state-based counselling services.
4. Disclaimer
All content published on dulcimers.com.au is provided in good faith and for general informational purposes only. While we endeavour to keep information accurate and up to date, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, suitability, or availability of any information on the Site.
In particular:
- casino bonuses, promotions, odds, game selections, licensing details, and venue information may change without notice and may differ from what is displayed on the Site;
- reviews and ratings reflect our editorial opinions at the time of publication and are not guarantees of service quality;
- nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, or professional advice, nor an inducement or encouragement to gamble.
You are solely responsible for verifying all details directly with the relevant casino, venue, or gambling operator before registering, depositing funds, or placing any wager. It is also your responsibility to ensure that online gambling is lawful in your state or territory.
5. Affiliate Relationship
dulcimers.com.au participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some of the links, banners, and recommendations on the Site are affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and subsequently register, deposit, or transact with a recommended casino or gambling operator, we may receive a commission or other compensation from that operator.
This commercial relationship does not affect the price you pay and does not compromise the independence of our editorial content. Rankings and reviews are based on our assessment criteria; however, you acknowledge that commercial arrangements may influence the placement and prominence of certain operators on the Site.
6. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, all content on dulcimers.com.au — including text, articles, reviews, graphics, logos, images, ratings systems, and the design and layout of the Site — is the property of the Site owner or its licensors and is protected by Australian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may view, download, and print content from the Site for your personal, non-commercial use only, provided you do not modify the content or remove any proprietary notices. Any other use — including reproduction, republication, distribution, or commercial exploitation — is prohibited without our prior written consent.
Trademarks, brand names, and logos of third-party casinos and gambling operators referenced on the Site remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and review purposes only.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, including the Australian Consumer Law, dulcimers.com.au, its owners, employees, and contributors exclude all liability for any loss or damage of any kind (including direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, financial loss, or loss of data) arising out of or in connection with:

- any dealings, transactions, or disputes between you and any third-party casino, gambling operator, or venue;
- gambling losses or gambling-related harm; or
- errors, omissions, interruptions, or technical failures of the Site.
Where liability cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the fullest extent permitted. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
8. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Australia and, where applicable, the laws of the relevant Australian state or territory. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Australia for the resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site.
9. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to amend, update, or replace these Terms at any time and at our sole discretion. Any changes will take effect immediately upon publication on this page, with the "Last updated" date revised accordingly. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.
