About Me - Sienna McAllister, Australian Online Casino & Gamdom Specialist
G'day, I'm Sienna McAllister. I write about the Aussie iGaming scene-pokies, crypto tables, the lot. Lately, I've had my eye on Curacao-licensed spots like Gamdom. Over the past four years, I've been digging into what makes these sites tick-the good, the dodgy, and everything in between-from licence legitimacy to the fine print on bonuses.
Flashy site, big promises-been there, regretted that. I'd rather steer you to smarter, safer picks.

Expertise and Credentials
I kicked off in the gambling world back in 2019, writing detailed casino reviews for niche crypto gaming blogs before moving full-time into analysing Curacao eGaming operators. Somewhere between chasing licences, testing games, and grilling banks about withdrawals, my review method was born.
As an active member of the Australasian Gaming Council, I stay connected to the latest policy shifts and responsible gambling frameworks here in Australia. My background is in communications, but I've also completed:
- Workshops on responsible gambling aligned with Australian state regulations
- Industry seminars focused on blockchain tech in wagering
- Practical testing of game fairness tools and RNG certification
I've even pitched in on compliance audits for new casinos-kept them honest, or at least tried to.
Specialisation Areas
What I usually dive into:
- Casino game reviews-anything from pokies that eat your coins too fast, to table games I could play all night, to the occasional crypto oddity.
- Bonus analysis - breaking down wagering requirements, expiry dates, and bonus abuse clauses
- Payment solutions - instant bank transfers, POLi, PayID, and crypto withdrawals perfect for folks here in Aus
- Software provider insights - from big names like NetEnt and Pragmatic Play to smaller blockchain studios
- Understanding Australian gambling behaviour - how culture shapes game preferences, session lengths, and risk appetite
Throughout my work, I prioritise player protection, clear information, and practical usability - because for Aussies, fast payouts and straightforward terms often trump flashy promos.
Achievements and Publications
So far, I've:
- Published well over a hundred reviews and guides across various gambling sites, including the most-read Gamdom AU Review on gamdom777.com
- Written the site's Responsible Gambling Guide, now a key resource for Australian players setting limits and seeking support
- Spoken at Crypto Gambling Trends 2023 about decentralised betting risks and opportunities for Aussies
- Featured in industry talks on Curacao licensing and its impact on player safety
Not just résumé fluff-these gigs actually got Aussies real, tested info they could trust.
Mission and Values
Here's the deal with my work: equip Australian players with the knowledge to gamble safely, legally, and with eyes wide open.
This means:
- Unbiased reviews-if a withdrawal drags for days, you'll hear me yelling about it here.
- Responsible gambling advocacy - encouraging limit-setting, recognising problem signs, and pointing to help services
- Transparency - all affiliate links disclosed, recommendations based on merit, not payouts
- Ongoing accuracy - reviews regularly updated to reflect policy or player feedback changes
For Aussie players, it's always protection first, entertainment second.
Regional Expertise
The Australian online gambling landscape is a tricky one - offshore operators, patchy state advertising laws, and payment preferences unique to our market. My expertise covers:
- Figuring out what the Interactive Gambling Act lets offshore sites sneak in
- Analysing withdrawal speeds and limits for local payment methods like BPAY, PayID, and instant bank transfers
- Understanding how Aussie players approach bonuses differently compared to Europe or the US
- Maintaining a network of local payment processors, compliance officers, and player advocacy groups
Personal Touch
Favourite? European Roulette. Got flogged on my first session, but I like that it forces me to pace myself.

Across these and well over a hundred published reviews and guides, my aim is to empower Aussie players to make safe, informed choices.
