Last updated: June 2026 — Lachlan Mercer, Bakedsince95cafe
Bakedsince95cafe was founded in 2026 by Lachlan Mercer with a simple vision: to provide Australian poker machine players with honest, independent reviews of PayID pokies sites. What started as a passion project has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of AU players seeking reliable information about online gaming venues.
Our name reflects our relaxed, approachable philosophy. We believe casino reviews don't need to be stuffy or corporate—they should be straightforward, friendly, and genuinely helpful. We're here to help you navigate the Australian online pokies landscape with confidence.
At Bakedsince95cafe, our core mission is clear: deliver transparent, thoroughly tested reviews of PayID pokies sites that Australian players can actually trust. We understand that choosing where to play matters. Your money, your time, and your gaming experience all deserve proper consideration.
We review every site we recommend personally. Our team doesn't rely on secondhand information, marketing claims, or affiliate promises. We test deposit methods, withdrawal speeds, game selection, customer support, and overall user experience across every platform we evaluate.
Every site we recommend holds proper Australian licensing and operates responsibly. We verify security credentials, check responsible gambling tools, and ensure player funds are protected. Your safety isn't negotiable.
We tell you what's genuinely good and what falls short. If a popular site has poor customer service or slow PayID withdrawals, you'll read about it here. Our job is serving players, not pleasing casinos.
We promote healthy gaming habits in everything we do. Our reviews highlight responsible gambling features, deposit limits, and support resources. If you're struggling with gambling, organisations like Gambler's Help provide confidential support.
Lachlan founded Bakedsince95cafe after years of frustrating experiences with biased casino review sites. He wanted to create something different—a space where Australian players could find genuine information from someone who actually tests the platforms before recommending them.
When he's not reviewing pokies sites, Lachlan enjoys exploring Australia's cafe culture (hence the name) and staying updated on gaming industry developments.
We promise honest reviews, real testing, complete transparency, and an unwavering commitment to player safety. We're here to help you make informed decisions about where to play.
