About the Accountability Register AU
Last updated 15 July 2026.
The Accountability Register AU is an independent watchdog research publication tracking offshore online casino operators visible to Australian PayID players. We are based in Sydney and we write for an Australian readership.
Our mission. We exist to fill the consumer protection gap left by the offshore online casino market. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 the operator side prohibition is enforced by ACMA on a slow cycle. Australian consumer protection law reaches offshore operators unevenly. Independent research and structured accountability data are the tools we contribute to the gap.
Our founder. Adair Wentmore spent twenty six years in financial audit at KPMG and Deloitte before retiring to independent consumer accountability work. That audit background shapes the register. Every entry is designed to look and behave the way an audit index behaves, with cross referenced evidence, confidence intervals and refresh cycles.
Our methodology. Every operator entry is compiled through a documented five pass process (identification, payments, complaints, terms, licensing). Every claim is cited to a public source or to a verifiable internal document. Every inference is labelled as an editorial conclusion, not as evidence. The methodology is public and can be reproduced by any diligent reader.
No paid partnerships. We do not accept payment from operators in exchange for coverage, ranking, warning removal or entry correction. We do not run affiliate campaigns whose commercial terms colour our editorial judgements. Our conflict of interest register is public and updated annually.
Funding disclosure. Reader patronage (approximately forty percent of revenue), syndicated licensing of the methodology and complaint data to legal and compliance end users (approximately forty five percent), and non gambling contextual advertising (approximately fifteen percent). No operator advertising or affiliate revenue.
Editorial governance. A three person independent editorial board reviews methodology changes and hears complaints. Board members are drawn from consumer law, financial services ombudsman backgrounds, and harm minimisation practice. Board minutes are confidential; decisions on published register changes are public.
Corrections policy. If we get something wrong we correct it prominently, at the top of the affected page, with a dated note describing what was wrong and what was changed. Corrections are logged in a public corrections index linked from every entry.
