Site Purpose
Hastings Handmade is an informational and review website dedicated to providing content about online pokies and gambling operators that accept PayID payments. We are NOT a gambling operator, casino, or licensed wagering service provider. We do not offer, facilitate, or enable gambling services directly. Our Site functions solely as a source of educational information, reviews, comparisons, and recommendations. We do not accept bets, process wagers, or hold player funds. Any gambling activities must be conducted directly with licensed and regulated operators.

Before registering with any operator or placing any wagers, you are solely responsible for independently verifying all terms, conditions, licensing, and current information directly with the gambling operator. We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of third-party information. Your use of any operator's services is at your own risk.

Hastings Handmade participates in affiliate marketing programs with various licensed gambling operators. This means we may earn commissions, referral fees, or other financial compensation when you click through our links and register with or use services from recommended casinos or pokies platforms. We disclose these affiliate relationships transparently. Our recommendations are made in good faith based on our reviews and analysis, but please be aware that our financial incentives may influence which operators we feature or promote. We encourage you to conduct your own independent research before choosing any gambling operator.
