Last updated: June 2026 — Lachlan Drummond, Notbloodynecessary
Notbloodynecessary was founded in 2026 by Lachlan Drummond, a passionate advocate for fair, transparent information in the Australian online casino space. What started as a personal mission to cut through misleading marketing and outdated reviews has evolved into a trusted resource for Australian players seeking honest, independent casino assessments.
We're a dedicated team of casino enthusiasts, industry analysts, and responsible gambling advocates committed to testing every site we review. We don't just read terms and conditions—we create accounts, deposit real money, place bets, and experience every aspect of each casino firsthand. This hands-on approach is what sets us apart.
Our mission is straightforward: provide Australian players with honest, thorough, and independent casino reviews they can actually trust. The online gambling landscape in Australia is complex and constantly evolving. Too many review sites prioritise affiliate commissions over player welfare. We refuse to play that game.
We exist to empower Australian players with the information they need to make informed decisions about where they spend their money. Whether you're a casual player or an experienced gambler, you deserve reviews written by people who genuinely care about your experience—not your click-through rate.
We maintain strict editorial independence. No casino can pay for a better review, and we don't accept sponsorships that compromise our integrity. Your trust is worth far more than any affiliate commission.
We're open about our methodology, our team, and our sources. When we recommend a casino, you'll understand exactly why. When we warn against one, we provide specific evidence.
Responsible gambling isn't a footnote on our site—it's central to everything we do. We assess operator licencing, encryption standards, self-exclusion tools, and responsible gambling resources. We partner with support organisations and provide resources for players who need help.
Have a question about a casino? Notice something we've missed? We'd love to hear from you. At Notbloodynecessary, we're building this resource for Australian players, and your feedback genuinely matters.
Thank you for trusting us as your guide to online casinos in Australia.
