Editorial standards at Double Happiness
How the Double Happiness desk works: what we cover, where our figures come from, what the affiliate links mean, and how to get an error fixed.
What this site covers
This site reviews Double Happiness for Australian players. That means the welcome offer and any ongoing bonuses, and the wagering conditions attached to each, because a bonus figure without its playthrough requirement tells you very little. We look at the cashier: what it accepts, what it does not, and how long a withdrawal actually takes once it has been requested. We also work through the pokies catalogue, noting which titles are present and how the lobby is organised.
The reviews desk keeps the scope narrow on purpose. We are not covering sports betting, live dealer tables or anything outside the casino product, and we do not pretend to. Where a claim cannot be checked against the operator's own terms, we leave it out rather than hedge it.
How we check a number before printing it
Every figure that appears here is read from the operator's published terms and conditions, then read again against the cashier page and any bonus-specific rules. Where the two disagree, we treat the stricter version as the one that applies, because that is the version a player will meet when a withdrawal is held up.
Wagering contributions are checked per game type, not just as a headline multiplier. A 30x requirement on pokies is not the same as 30x on table games, and we say so. Withdrawal times are described as the operator states them, not as a best case. If a number cannot be confirmed, it does not go in.
How an operator gets reviewed here
A review begins when the desk decides the operator is worth the work, usually because Australian players are asking about it. We then read the terms in full, open the cashier, and go through the pokies lobby title by title. Nothing is taken from a press release or a promotional page.
We do not accept payment for a review, and we do not publish one in exchange for a higher commission rate. If an operator will not answer basic questions about its wagering rules or its withdrawal process, that absence is noted in the review. A site that is difficult to check is a site we describe as difficult to check.
Who pays for this site
The site is funded by affiliate commissions. When a reader follows a link from here to an operator and signs up, we may be paid. That is the whole of the revenue model, and it is worth stating plainly because it shapes what you should expect from us.
It does not buy a favourable review. Commission rates are not a factor in what we write, and an operator on a low rate is reviewed to the same standard as one on a high rate. The cashier at Double Happiness accepts VISA, MasterCard and crypto, including USDT, BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE and TRX. It does not accept PayID, POLi, Neosurf or BPAY, and we say so regardless of what that costs us.
Getting an error fixed
If something here is wrong, tell the reviews desk. The most useful message names the page, quotes the sentence, and points to the operator's own terms where they say otherwise. A screenshot of a cashier page or a bonus term helps more than a description of it.
We check corrections against the source rather than against a second opinion. If the operator's terms have changed since we published, we update the page and note what changed. If we got it wrong, we say that too, in the same place the error appeared. There is no separate corrections column and no quiet edit.
