About the author

I write about online gambling from one angle: a reader in Poland, operating under rules that differ from most of Europe. Online casino games here are a state monopoly, which means any article translated from a foreign template is half wrong before it is published. This site exists because the Polish-facing internet has too many of those articles.

Three rules I do not break

No invented numbers. Where a minimum deposit or a payout time appears in a text, it is a value declared by the operator in the cashier, and it is labelled as declared. You will not find a sentence like "our testing showed an average of 90 minutes", because no such test happened, and a fabricated measurement is worse than none.

No invented registry data. No licence numbers, regulator names or phone numbers that cannot be verified. Instead I describe where the reader should check those details themselves and what they should expect to see in the register.

No invented player reviews. Testimonials with a first name and a city that read like quotations but are editorial copy are the most common form of dishonesty in this industry. There are none on this site — instead there is a stated scoring method on the review page.

What the texts cover

• Polish gambling law: the online casino monopoly, betting permits, and the domain register kept by the Minister of Finance.
• Payments from the perspective of a Polish bank account: BLIK, cards and merchant category code 7995, wallets, cryptocurrency.
• Promotion arithmetic: wagering converted into zloty, game contribution, cashout ceilings.
• Responsible gambling and the tools that work before a problem exists.

What I do not do

I am not a lawyer or a tax adviser and do not pretend otherwise. Anything touching tax ends in these texts with a referral to a tax adviser or the National Revenue Information service, and that is deliberate. I also do not advise what to play or when: the house edge is built into the rules of the games and no strategy removes it.

Corrections and contact

Regulations change, cashiers change, and parts of these pages will go out of date. When that happens the correction goes where the error was, not into a disclaimer box. How the site operates, including how it is funded, is set out on the about page and in the affiliate disclosure.
