About FairGoGuide: the RTG-purist editor's desk behind the Fair Go review
FairGoGuide is an independent editorial site that publishes a Fair Go Casino review and a small library of supporting pages from one specific angle: Fair Go is a Realtime Gaming room in an era of 100-provider lobbies, and the people best served by that room are not the same as the people best served by a multi-provider casino. We write for the first group, openly. We are not the operator. We are not affiliated with Fair Go Casino beyond the standard affiliate relationship disclosed at the bottom of this page.
Editorial methodology
What we do, and what we explicitly don't do:
- RTG game-category review. We document the Fair Go RTG lobby by shelf ( pokies, table games, video poker, specialty ) without inventing exclusive titles or fake counts. The pokie names we list are the operator's published long-runners.
- Bonus-term review. We translate the operator's published bonus terms (wagering line, contribution table, max-bet cap, expiry, eligible games) into worked examples and pre-claim checklists. The math is ours; the rules are the operator's.
- Cashier-term checks. We list payment rails as published by the operator and add the verification step a player should run before depositing (per-rail caps, KYC documents, name-match expectations, bonus interaction).
- Licence and legitimacy notes. We document what Curaçao licensing covers, and what it doesn't cover that an Australian player should price in.
- Responsible-gambling checks. Every page links to AU support services and operator-side limit tools. Limits set before depositing survive bad runs in a way that limits set after rarely do.
- Schema and content accuracy. Structured data on every page is kept in sync with the visible content. We do not ship Review or AggregateRating schema that doesn't match a real, scored editorial opinion. The home page holds the brand's single rating; subpages do not duplicate it.
- What we don't claim. We do not publish "we deposited and tested" payout times. We do not measure live-chat response times in a lab. We do not invent ratings on imagined criteria, fabricate review counts, or pass operator-advertised figures off as our findings. Where the operator advertises a figure, we say so ( "operator-stated, not measured" ) rather than passing it off as ours.
- Operator-stated vs verified. When a fact comes from the operator's own pages we say so. When a fact is verifiable on the player's side (licence number cross-check, certificate validity, live availability of a payment rail from an Australian IP) we tell you how to run that check.

Jack Mercer
Editor, FairGoGuideJack edits FairGoGuide. His remit is the editorial notebook, the RTG-purist read on Fair Go that runs through every page on this site. He owns the front-page guide, the long-form Fair Go review, the bonus and games breakdowns, and signs off cashier and licence pages before publication. Jack writes from the perspective of an Australian player who already enjoys RTG titles and wants the bonus terms read carefully before claiming, not the perspective of a casino-comparison site chasing every offer in 2026.
Areas of interest: RTG casino mechanics (free-spin re-triggers, locking wilds, classic 5-reel maths, progressive jackpot structure), old-school casino UX, bonus wagering mathematics, Australian online-casino cashier rails, Curaçao licensing limits, responsible gambling.

Editorial independence & affiliate disclosure
This site contains tracked affiliate links to Fair Go Casino. If a reader clicks through and registers, the operator may pay FairGoGuide a referral fee. That fee never:
- Changes the bonus math worked on the bonuses page.
- Softens how the long-form Fair Go review reads.
- Changes what we say about Curaçao licensing limits or KYC mechanics.
- Affects which rails we recommend verifying or which stoppers we list.
We do not accept payment for positive coverage, and we do not have a different version of any page that we show paying advertisers. If we change our recommendation about Fair Go, the change will appear publicly on the relevant page rather than being negotiated away. Outbound links to Fair Go are tagged target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" so search engines can distinguish editorial links from commercial ones.

Frequently asked questions
Is FairGoGuide the official Fair Go site?
No. We are an independent Australian editorial guide, affiliate-funded and operator-independent. Fair Go has no edit access to anything published here.
Why does one site cover one casino?
Because codes, timings and terms move weekly, and depth tracked continuously beats fifty casinos reviewed once. Fair Go is the assignment; honesty about it is the product.
