Alexander Korsager is the founder and editor-in-chief of Online Pokies. He has worked in online casinos and iGaming for more than ten years, including senior leadership, and built Online Pokies to give Australian players clear, honest information about online pokies and the casinos that offer them.
Alexander oversees every review on the site. He looks at the things that matter to players: game selection and RTP, bonus terms and wagering requirements, deposit and withdrawal options, payout speed, licensing, and the quality of customer support. Casinos that hide restrictive terms or are slow to pay don't make the cut.
Alongside reviews, he writes guides that explain how pokies work, including volatility, RTP, progressive jackpots and bonus features, so readers can make informed choices rather than rely on luck or marketing.
Alexander is a firm advocate for responsible gambling. He encourages every reader to set limits, treat gambling as entertainment rather than a way to make money, and seek support through Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) if gambling stops being fun.
