How we score: five checks and where each number comes from
This is the method behind the score you see at the top of every page on this site. Five checks, each out of 10, each tied to a dated source on the operator's own site. The score is the plain average. Nothing on this page is a promise about your results; it's a description of how we read Woo Casino's pages and turn them into numbers you can argue with.
The five checks
Withdrawals. Processing time the casino publishes, time by method after processing, minimums and caps per transaction, fees, and later our own timed payout. Deposits. Methods available to an Australian account, minimums, fees, and whether PayID and a voucher option exist for punters whose bank declines cards. Pokies. Which studios are in the lobby, how it’s organised, whether RTP is visible inside games, and demo availability. Support. Channels, hours, and a timed reply to a real question. Terms. Licence and operator named in the footer, KYC policy, withdrawal caps and the clauses that decide whether a win comes out.
The scale
Each check is scored against the strongest casino we have checked for Australian players on that criterion. The best we’ve found is a 10; the rest sit below it in proportion. Two people can disagree with a 7 versus an 8; they can’t disagree that a $4,000 cap is lower than a $6,000 one, and that’s the kind of fact each score rests on. The overall score is the average of the five, rounded to one decimal. There is no separate star rating and no user-vote count, because we don’t collect votes.
What moves a score
A change on the operator’s pages, dated. A live test that contradicts a published time. A document we read for the first time, such as a bonus terms page. When a score moves, the checked date on the page moves with it, and the note under the bar says why.
What never moves a score
The commission we may earn when you follow a link. Whether the operator likes the page. Whether the site is in the ACMA blocked list, since that’s a fact of Australian law that applies to every offshore casino equally and is covered on the legit page rather than priced into a number.
What “not checked yet” means
Every review page ends with a line saying what the author did for that page and what they haven’t done. That’s not a disclaimer; it’s the to-do list. A cell left blank, like RTP on the pokies page, stays blank until we’ve seen the number in the place it lives, and it’s better for you to see the blank than a figure copied from a directory. Who does the reading is on the about page.
