NO GAMBLING/CASINO

GENERAL POSTS ONLY

WE DO NOT ACCEPT OFFSHORE VAPE/THC/CBD/CASINO/GAMBLING/CRYPTO/FOREX/ASSIGNMENT-ESSAY WRITING/VIAGRA or ENHANCEMENT/ADULT DATING

Unfortunately, we had a group of SEO cowboy operations infiltrate our CMS, selling posts for ridiculous prices on Facebook groups and we are still weeding out the damage done.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Should posts be found to have links outside our country’s legal requirements they will be removed without reimbursement and the links and business association cancelled. Offshore gambling sites are now blocked by the Australian Government so don’t waste your time asking.

SPAM…We no longer accept INTERNATIONAL CBD, Casino, Gambling or Bitcoin/Currency/Finance, Forex, Education Assignment/Essay Writing, Viagra, Sex, or Dating adverts. Some of these posts are illegal in Australia and links are automatically blocked by the Censor and others attract Google spam ratings that can affect our sites SEO values.

Don’t ask, as refusal could be offensive!
