What I do
I take no deposit bonuses the way a reader would: real name, Australian IP, the code from the cashier, the minimum bet, and I stop when the wagering bar fills or the balance hits zero. Then I write down what happened. I’ve done that since 2021, first in a spreadsheet for myself, now in the test log on the home page.
The other half of the job is reading terms. Casinos print the wagering multiple, the max cashout and the max bet, but they print them in different places and in different words. I copy them out, date them, and turn them into a receipt so the bonus reads as a sum: what you must bet, what you expect to lose on the way, what you can keep at most.
What I’m not
Not a mathematician, not a lawyer, not a former casino employee. The maths on this site is expected-value arithmetic anyone can check; the legal lines come from the ACMA and ATO pages we cite, not from me. I have no licence or qualification in gambling and don’t claim one.
How I write
Every number on a page has a source with a date, or it says “assumed”. Every page says what I did for it and what I haven’t done yet. When a test loses, the row is published with the same care as a win. And I never call a bonus free cash, because the receipt says otherwise.
Elsewhere
Spin Tally is the only place I publish. Profile pages on other sites will be listed here once they exist; until then, anything under this name elsewhere isn’t me. To reach me: get in touch.
