Last updated: June 2026 — James Wilson, Gtopartsforsale
At Gtopartsforsale, every online casino review published on gtopartsforsale.com is the result of a structured, hands-on evaluation process carried out by James Wilson, the site's founder and lead reviewer. This page explains exactly how we assess Australian online casinos, what criteria we use, how we weight each factor, and why Australian players can trust our ratings to be honest, independent, and up to date for 2026.
We do not accept payment from casino operators in exchange for higher scores. Our methodology is designed to reflect the real experience of an Australian player — not the interests of the casinos we review.
Before a full review begins, James Wilson checks whether the casino holds a valid licence recognised in the Australian market. Unlicensed or blacklisted operators are removed from consideration immediately and flagged in our database. Only casinos that pass this threshold move forward to a full evaluation.
James Wilson personally registers a real account at every casino before writing a single word of a review. This means going through the actual sign-up process, submitting identity verification documents, and navigating the site exactly as a new Australian player would. No review on Gtopartsforsale is based on press materials or operator-supplied information alone.
James deposits real money using payment methods commonly available to Australian players — including credit cards, POLi, PayID, and popular e-wallets. He then requests a withdrawal to measure processing times, verify that stated limits are accurate, and confirm that no unexpected fees apply.
Welcome bonuses and ongoing promotions are claimed and tested against the terms and conditions. James reads the fine print so Australian players do not have to, checking wagering requirements, game contribution percentages, maximum bet rules, and withdrawal caps tied to bonus funds.
Every reviewed casino's game library is browsed and sampled. James checks the number of titles, the quality of software providers, the availability of live dealer games, and whether games load correctly on both desktop and mobile browsers commonly used in Australia.
James contacts the support team through each available channel — live chat, email, and where applicable, phone — to assess response times, the quality of answers provided, and whether agents are knowledgeable about Australian-specific questions such as local payment options and AUD accounts.
After completing all testing steps, James assigns scores across each rating category, calculates a weighted overall score, and writes the review. Every published review includes a clear disclosure of the date it was last tested and updated.
Each casino is scored out of 10 points per category. A weighted overall score out of 10 is then calculated based on the importance of each factor to Australian players.

| Payment Methods | 15% | AUD account availability, local deposit options, withdrawal speed, transaction limits, and fee transparency |

| Mobile Experience | 10% | Mobile browser performance, dedicated app availability, game compatibility on iOS and Android, and navigation usability |
