NATIONAL EVIDENCE SYSTEM
How Australia Pokies Guide verifies venue information
A licence, phone number, address and opening time are separate facts. Each needs its own source, checked date, confidence and next review.
Source priority
- Current regulator, legislation or government dataset
- Official venue, operator or provider source
- Two corroborating credible sources where no authority exposes the fact
- Unverified third-party leads remain internal and are not presented as fact
Confidence
| Level | Meaning | Public use |
|---|---|---|
| A | Authoritative regulator/government evidence | Eligible |
| B | Direct first-party evidence | Eligible with source |
| C | Corroborated credible evidence | Use cautiously |
| D | Unverified lead | Internal only |
| U | Unknown, stale or conflicting | Do not state as fact |
Owner resolution
Exact object assignment wins. Next come approved locality/LGA allocation, the territory rule, official geography and finally a temporary owner marked for boundary review. Only the disputed page is blocked.
Publication gate
A full venue page requires verified identity, address, coordinates, phone, licence, source, hours, transport, parking, responsible-gambling information, owner, intent and canonical URL. Missing data remains visible internally as unknown; it is never guessed.
