Last updated: June 2026 — Lachlan McBride, Mikepainting
Mikepainting was founded in 2026 by Lachlan McBride, a passionate advocate for honest and transparent gaming information in Australia. What started as a personal mission to cut through misleading marketing claims and provide real, practical guidance has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of Australian players seeking reliable PayID pokies reviews.
Lachlan recognised a gap in the market: Australian players deserved independent, unbiased information about online pokies sites that accept PayID. Rather than relying on affiliate-driven reviews or promotional content, he built Mikepainting to deliver exactly what players need—straightforward assessments based on actual testing and genuine player experiences.
We're a dedicated team of gaming reviewers and industry researchers committed to testing every site we recommend. Our approach is hands-on and honest. Every PayID pokies platform featured on mikepainting.com.au has been personally reviewed, tested, and assessed against our rigorous standards.
Unlike many review sites that accept payments for placement or rely solely on promotional partnerships, we maintain complete editorial independence. Our team spends considerable time on each platform—creating accounts, testing payment processes, evaluating game variety, and assessing customer support—to give you real insights before you commit your money.
Our mission is simple: help Australian players find safe, fair, and trustworthy PayID pokies sites through honest, independent reviews. We believe players deserve better than marketing spin and misleading claims. We're here to provide the truth.
We're committed to empowering players with the information they need to make informed decisions about where they play online.
Player Safety First: Every site we review must demonstrate strong security measures, fair gaming practices, and responsible gambling features. We won't recommend platforms that cut corners on player protection.
Responsible Gambling: We're passionate advocates for responsible gaming. Our reviews highlight deposit limits, self-exclusion tools, and support resources. We regularly feature responsible gambling information because player wellbeing matters more than clicks.
Accuracy and Integrity: We stand behind every review. Our information is current, verified, and regularly updated. If something changes, we update our content accordingly.
Have questions about our reviews or want to share your own experience? We'd love to hear from you. Your feedback helps us improve our recommendations and serve the Australian gaming community better.
