Last updated: June 2026 — Sophie Kinnear, Crossfitskybox
Crossfitskybox was founded in 2026 by Sophie Kinnear with a single, clear mission: to provide Australian players with honest, transparent, and thoroughly tested reviews of PayID pokies platforms. What started as a passion project has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of players across the country who want to make informed decisions about where they play.
Sophie's background combines a deep understanding of the Australian gaming landscape with a genuine commitment to player protection. After years of researching online pokies and witnessing the confusion many players faced when choosing reliable platforms, Sophie recognised the need for an independent, no-nonsense review site that puts players first.
At Crossfitskybox, we're dedicated to cutting through the marketing noise and delivering what Australian players actually need: real, honest reviews of PayID pokies sites. We believe every player deserves access to clear information about licensing, game quality, payment security, and responsible gambling features before they commit their time and money.
Our mission is straightforward: empower Australian players with knowledge, help them find safe and reliable platforms, and contribute to a safer online gaming environment.
We don't accept payments from gaming operators, and we don't promote sites we haven't personally tested. Every platform featured on our site has been thoroughly reviewed by our team using real player accounts and real money transactions. This hands-on approach means we can tell you exactly what to expect, from sign-up speed to withdrawal times to customer support quality.
Independence: We remain completely independent from the gaming industry. Our reviews are driven solely by what's best for players, not what generates the highest commission.
Transparency: We're open about our testing methods, our criteria, and our reasoning. If we find problems with a site, we report them honestly.
Player Safety: Responsible gambling isn't just a sidebar for us—it's central to everything we do. We prioritise sites with strong player protection measures and highlight gambling support resources throughout our content.
Sophie Kinnear leads the Crossfitskybox team with a passion for player advocacy and industry knowledge. Our reviewers are experienced players and gambling researchers who bring diverse perspectives to our evaluations. Every team member shares a commitment to honesty and player protection.
We're small, focused, and deeply invested in our mission. You're not reading corporate content designed to maximise profits—you're reading reviews from real people who care about getting it right.
Questions about our reviews or our methodology? We'd love to hear from you. At Crossfitskybox, we believe in direct communication with our readers.
