Last updated: June 2026 — Lachlan Drummond, Dinnerwithstu
Dinnerwithstu was founded in 2026 by Lachlan Drummond, a passionate advocate for fair, transparent information in the Australian online gaming space. What started as a personal mission to cut through marketing noise and deliver honest pokie reviews has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of Australian players seeking reliable guidance.
Our team comprises experienced gaming enthusiasts, industry analysts, and responsible gambling advocates who share a common goal: helping Australian players make informed decisions about where to play online pokies.
At Dinnerwithstu, our mission is straightforward: provide the most honest, comprehensive, and player-focused online pokie reviews for the Australian market. We believe Australian players deserve access to unbiased information that prioritises their interests above all else.
We're not here to promote every casino that approaches us. We're here to tell you which sites are genuinely worth your time and money, and which ones you should avoid.
In an industry flooded with affiliate reviews and sponsored content, Dinnerwithstu stands apart through genuine commitment to independence and integrity:
Editorial Independence: We maintain complete editorial control over all content. No advertiser, casino operator, or affiliate network influences our reviews or ratings.
Transparency: We're transparent about our methodology, how we test sites, what we look for, and any limitations in our reviews. We disclose affiliate relationships where they exist.
Player Safety: Responsible gambling isn't just a buzzword for us—it's fundamental to everything we do. We prioritise sites with strong player protection measures, clear responsible gambling tools, and legitimate licensing.
Accuracy: We verify information before publishing. We cite sources, test claims, and correct errors immediately if they occur.
We recognise that online gambling carries risks. Throughout our site, we emphasise responsible play and provide resources for players who may be struggling. We only recommend casinos that implement robust responsible gambling features including deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and access to support services.
If you're concerned about your gambling, organisations like Gamblers Help Victoria and Gambling Help Online offer free, confidential support.
Have questions about our reviews or recommendations? We'd love to hear from you. Contact us through our website, and we'll respond promptly.
