What you will find here
This page sets out how the reviews desk at dolphinspearloz.com works. The site is a guide to the Cash Connection Dolphins Pearl pokie: its return to player and odds, demo play, strategy notes, and which Australian casinos carry it. We publish what we can verify and we say plainly when something is unverified.
The desk has no named writers. Everything here is produced and checked collectively, and the same standards apply whether the subject is a game’s maths or an operator’s cashier. If a claim cannot be traced to a source we can point to, it does not go on the page.
How we check a number before printing it
Every figure we print is traced back to its source before it appears. For a pokie, that means the game’s own published information and the operator’s terms; for a cashier, it means the operator’s banking page and the payment methods it actually lists. Where a number is a range or varies by operator, we print it as a range rather than pick a single flattering figure.
Two people on the desk check a number independently before it is published. If the two readings disagree, the figure is held back until the discrepancy is resolved. We would rather leave a gap than print something we cannot stand behind.
How an operator gets reviewed here
An operator is reviewed on what a player can actually see: the licence it holds and where it is issued, the games it carries, the cashier, and the terms attached to bonuses. We open an account and work through the deposit and withdrawal process as a player would, and we note what the cashier accepts. VISA, MasterCard and crypto (USDT, BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE, TRX) are accepted. PayID, POLi, Neosurf and BPAY are not accepted.
We do not review an operator on the strength of its advertising, its affiliate terms, or a representative’s assurances. If a licence cannot be confirmed, or the terms contradict what the cashier page states, that is recorded as a finding rather than smoothed over.
How we make money
The site is funded by affiliate arrangements. When a reader follows a link from this site to an operator and signs up, the desk may receive a commission. That is the whole of the commercial model, and it is the reason the review standards above matter.
Commission has no bearing on what a review says. An operator cannot pay for a favourable finding, and a poor finding is not removed because a commercial arrangement exists. Where a page carries affiliate links, that is disclosed on the page itself. Readers who prefer to sign up directly, without using our links, lose nothing in the way of information.
Corrections and complaints
If something here is wrong, tell us and we will look at it. Corrections are handled by the reviews desk as a whole, and a correction is made on the page rather than in a note elsewhere. Where a figure changes, the page is updated and the change stands.
Complaints about an operator are read, but the desk does not act as a mediator and cannot recover funds on a player’s behalf. What we can do is check whether the operator’s terms say what the operator is doing. If they do not, that is a finding, and it goes on the page.
