About the Author: Sienna Hartley - Trusted AU Casino Reviewer & iGaming Specialist

Expertise and Credentials

Here's why you can trust what I write. I've burned too many nights poking through fine print and testing late-night withdrawals-trust me, my bank app hates me. My academic background in communications and data analysis sometimes helps, though the real lessons came from my own little wins and plenty of stumbles.

Before joining fafabet9s.com, I contributed independent reviews and practical guides to several respected Aussie casino sites. I'm also the sort who gets way too passionate at Australasian Gaming Council roundtables, keeping tabs on all the latest in responsible gambling and law changes. If a casino's dodgy with licensing or tries weasel words, I'm not shy about calling it out. Even if that gets their PR team up in arms.

Specialisation Areas

Here's what I actually care about (and what I notice my mates fuss over):
Honestly, some days I'm neck-deep in pokie payout rates, and the next, trying to figure out if PayID is actually faster than my bank app! If you ask me about classic table games? Don't be surprised if I lean into blackjack (call it a personal weakness). Pokies, table games, those pesky loyalty schemes-I've reviewed them all. But sometimes, I just want to see if I can cash out at 3am on a Sunday without calling the bank's help line.

Achievements and Publications

I've lost count after a hundred or so deep-dives into Aussie casinos, but the ones I remember are where I found that rare gem (or spotted something sus). One time, a mate messaged to ask why his 'VIP perks' vanished after a big win-I had to explain the casino's small print the hard way. These quirks stick with you.

Honestly, what's the point of writing all this if you can't actually use it, right? Not every site knocks it out of the park-I've binned more than a few after horror live chat runs. If something's rubbish, I'll say so. There were times I actually changed my tune-first thinking a platform was dodgy, only to be surprised by a killer new promo or slick support.

Mission and Values

Look, I've copped enough dodgy bonuses to know players come first. If it means upsetting an operator with a rubbish offer, so be it-it's your cash on the line. Look, I'm not perfect-I'll call out dodgy sites (even if I make a typo or two while ranting about them). Your interests come first, anywayz.

I fact-check every review and update info as soon as something changes-especially payment details or cheeky new bonus terms (seriously, who writes these legal team T&Cs?). For Aussie punters, I'm stubborn about staying within our laws and making sure recommendations are truly fair.

Regional Expertise

I'm based out in New South Wales-yep, smack in the thick of the pokies action. Legal changes? They hit us like a cold one mid-State of Origin, so I'm always on my toes. I know the local banking methods inside out-POLi, PayID, and the e-wallets Aussies trust for fast, fee-free withdrawals.

I can still remember my first cashback 'reward'-turned out to be worth a meat pie, if that. It's the little surprises (for better or worse) that make the difference. You'll find me in NSW, right where punter chat and Parliament brawls over gambling collide. Never a dull week.

Personal Touch

Truth is, sometimes I get way too excited about a new pokie-Big Red, anyone? Still gotta remind myself not to chase losses, even on a hot streak. Some spins, I feel like a genius. Others, not so much-usually after ignoring my own advice!
