1. Site Purpose & Disclaimer
Checkeredflagau.com is an informational and review hub for the pokie game Checkered Flag - Lightning Dollar Link by Aristocrat. The Site:
- Describes the game, its features, RTP, volatility and where it can be played.
- Reviews and compares online casinos and payment methods available to Australian players.

- Is not affiliated with Aristocrat Gaming, the game publisher, or any specific online casino operator, except where explicitly stated (e.g. affiliate partnerships).
The Site is for educational and entertainment purposes only. It is not financial, legal or gambling advice. Use of the Site does not create a contract between you and the Site operator.
2. Accuracy & Limitation of Liability
While we aim to keep information current and accurate:
- Game features, RTP, volatility and bonus mechanics are based on publicly available Aristocrat documentation and player reports. Actual in-game behaviour may vary by venue, jurisdiction or machine configuration.
- Online casino terms, bonuses, payment methods and licensing status change frequently. We update the Site regularly but cannot guarantee real-time accuracy.
- Links to external sites (casinos, payment providers, regulators) are provided for convenience. We do not endorse or control their content or practices.

- Technical failures, downtime, or data loss on the Site.
- Third-party conduct, including fraud or breach of contract by casinos or payment providers.
If a casino or payment provider breaches its obligations to you, your recourse is with that operator, not the Site.
