BetPokies was created by John Gold in 2020, who himself has been a successful gambler for over a decade.
Initially, the website was just a place with reviews about online casinos written by John Gold himself. Since then, many things have changed. Now, BetPokies is a part of ZehrMedia LTD, and it has grown to become one of the most reputable brands in Australia, covering a range of the most intriguing topics in the industry. For instance, content related to gambling laws in Australia, responsible gaming, payment methods, provider reviews, and more, designed by experts, can now be found on the website. Yet, payment guides remain one of the biggest parts of BetPokies’ functioning. The high quality and trustworthiness of the above-mentioned guides are definitely some of the main things that make gamblers reach out to BetPokies and rely on their opinion.
We’ve asked the platform’s founder about his standards for creating guides, especially about their comprehensive PayID Casinos page, and how this whole process goes, and we received a lot of valuable insights from him, so read on to open them for yourself as well.
Hello, John! The performance of your site, BetPokies, is simply outstanding! You have been receiving good ratings from players who also appear to absolutely trust your content. On the whole, BetPokies is now an iGaming goldmine due to the well-written and beneficial guides you are providing. Let us begin, as a starting point, to know how it all started. What inspired you to make your gambling guides public, and what compelled you to establish your own website?
“Hello! I’d like to thank you immensely for inviting me today. I’m very much looking forward to our discussion. To answer your question, it’s been a long experience. I’ve been interested in gambling for a while now — more than 10 years, actually, because I came across online casinos. I’ve had both good and bad experiences since then. In 202,0 I wrote my first review with no expectations attached — really, just for the fun of it. And, to my surprise, it got lots of interest from gamblers. I’m someone who does not give up on things after I’ve begun, so I just kept writing and editing my reviews. I developed a devoted group of readers who ultimately depended on my opinion. I realised that the world needed a site like BetPokies, and that is what prompted me to where I am today. Lastly, my personal interest in the subject, and that the gaming community had a need for a site like BetPokies, pushed me to persist.”
Yes, your story is really inspiring and amazing. But recently, our eye caught one of your pages called PayID Casinos. It is really a stunning guide cause BetPokies were the first ones who implemented PayID theme in the gaming guides sphere. So, would you mind telling us why and how did this popular page start?
“Nice question! Well, as a gambler myself, I used to try many banking options for 10 years of my experience. But back in 2018 I noticed a new one — PayID. Firstly, it wasn’t that popular among online gamblers, but after a few years I witnessed how its popularity is rapidly growing, then I tried it myself, but it was bit hard to understand it without any outer help. That was the moment I realised that there are thousands of players that need help with this convenient method of payment. After this, my team and I started to gather information about PayID. We all tested the way it works on different casino sites, checked how fast are deposits, the availability of bonuses for PayID payments, all its drawbacks, and compared it to other popular among Australians banking options such as Skrill and Neteller. Additionally, during our investigation, we find out that PayID payments are accepted without EFTPOS (Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale), which is convenient for many players.”
Well, you definitely have my trust in the reliability of your content! However, there is one more thing I would like to clarify before we end our conversation. I know that BetPokies is an affiliate project, which I think is a great thing. But still, are there cases when your cooperation with casinos goes further and turns into advertising of a particular gambling platform?
“I understand why you ask this question, but my answer is no. You won’t find any paid reviews on BetPokies, because we are committed to providing high-quality and reliable content before making money. Of course, we get commissions as an affiliate project, but it never affects our opinion about any platform. It always remains unbiased and honest.”
So, all in all, after reading this interview, you probably will trust BetPokies’ opinion, be it their PayID Casinos page or any other one. Don’t miss the opportunity to check BetPokies out and learn a lot of new things!
