This copyright policy covers what Ace Pokies owns, and the third-party material we use under licence or permission. It also explains how others may quote our work, and how to report a suspected copyright infringement.
Maintained by the Ace Pokies editorial team · Last updated 29 July 2026
In short: Our original reviews, guides, and design assets belong to Ace Pokies. Game titles, provider logos, and screenshots appear under licence, permission, or fair dealing. If you hold rights in material published here and believe it’s been used without authorisation, we want to know. The takedown procedure below explains how to reach us.
Who We Are & Our Copyright Policy
Ace Pokies is an independent review and information site covering online slots and casinos, primarily for an Australian audience. We invest significant editorial time in original writing, testing, ratings, and design. We protect that work under copyright law, the same as any publisher.
Our reviews also reference game titles, provider names, screenshots, and technical data, like RTP and volatility figures. That material belongs to slot studios and casino operators, not to us. We use it carefully, within the limits the law allows.
This policy sets out that line clearly. It covers what we own, what we don’t, how our content may be reused, and how to raise a concern. Read it alongside our About Us page, which explains who’s behind Ace Pokies and how we review casinos.
Our Privacy Policy covers how we handle visitor data. It applies to every page on this site.
Ace Pokies does not operate, host, or offer any gambling service itself. We publish reviews and comparisons of third-party operators. We aren’t a party to any wagering activity, and nothing here is legal advice on gambling regulation.
Why This Page Exists
Ace Pokies publishes original slot and casino reviews alongside licensed game data and clearly attributed third-party brand assets. Several different kinds of rights sit on the same pages. Readers, rights-holders, and other publishers are entitled to know how each is handled.
This page documents four things. It covers what we claim, what we use under permission, and how our work may be reused. It also explains how to file a complaint.
It sits alongside our About Us page and our Responsible Gambling and Australian Gambling Laws guides. Together, they let our handling of intellectual property be checked, not assumed.
Legal Framework
Our copyright claims and complaints process rely on the following.
01. Copyright Act 1968 (Cth)
The main Australian law protecting original literary, artistic, and dramatic works. It covers our written reviews, guides, and graphics.
02. Berne Convention and WIPO Copyright Treaty
International treaties that extend our copyright protection to more than 180 signatory countries. They also recognise foreign rights-holders’ work used on our site under licence or fair dealing.
03. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512
Ace Pokies isn’t a US company, but much of our audience and hosting touches the US. For this reason, we follow DMCA-style notice-and-takedown procedures as a practical standard.
04. Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth)
This doesn’t govern copyright. However, it’s why Ace Pokies operates as an independent review and affiliate publisher, not a gambling operator. Our ownership claims cover only our editorial and design output, never any gambling product.
This section is for transparency, not legal advice. If you need advice for your situation, consult a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
What We Own
Unless stated otherwise, the following is the intellectual property of Ace Pokies. It’s protected under Australian and international copyright law.
01. Original Editorial Content
All slot reviews, casino reviews, guides, and strategy articles written by our contributors and editorial team. It covers the text, structure, and editorial judgement behind it. It includes our RTP and volatility breakdowns, feature explainers, and ratings, all produced under our own review methodology.
02. Design System and Visual Assets
The Ace Pokies design system, page layouts, original graphics, comparison tables, badges, and illustration or imagery we’ve created or commissioned. The arrangement and presentation of content on the site is itself a protected work.
03. Brand Marks
The Ace Pokies name and logo, and the associated brand identity, are marks of Ace Pokies. They may not be used to imply affiliation, endorsement, or authorship by Ace Pokies without our written permission.
Third-Party Material We Use
Others own some material on Ace Pokies and appears under licence, permission, or limited exceptions allowed by law. We don’t claim ownership of it, and its presence here doesn’t transfer any rights to readers.
01. Game Titles, Screenshots, And Provider Assets
Slot and casino game names, logos, screenshots, and promotional artwork appear in our reviews. These belong to their respective game studios and providers, such as Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, and Microgaming.
We reproduce them to identify and review the games we cover, under permission or fair dealing. They remain the trademarks of those providers.
02. Operator And Casino Brand Assets
Casino operator names, logos, and brand assets shown in our comparison tables and reviews are the property of their owners. We use them only to identify and compare the operators we cover.
03. RTP, Paytable, And Technical Data
Return-to-player percentages, volatility ratings, and paytable figures come from providers’ public disclosures and licensed databases. We verify this data against provider and industry sources. We don’t claim ownership of the underlying figures.
04. In-Game Screenshots And Gameplay Footage
Screenshots and short clips of gameplay used in our reviews come from demo or real-money play. We use them to illustrate our commentary on the game, a narrow use recognised under fair dealing for review purposes. They remain the intellectual property of the originating game studio and may not be reused elsewhere.
