About Wideshift
Wideshift publishes one thing: a five-step reading course for Australian households approaching online horse-riding games for the first time. This page explains who publishes it, how it was made, and what it earns from.

Writing is credited to the Janaland, s.r.o. editorial team. There are no named authors, no staff profiles and no instructors, because the course does not rest on anyone's personal authority — it rests on sources you can check yourself.
How the course was structured
The course was planned backwards from the decisions a household actually has to make: whether to proceed at all, on what device, at what cost, with which settings, and what to do in the months afterwards. Each decision became one step, and anything that did not serve a decision was cut.
Within a step, the order is fixed: explain the idea, show what it looks like in practice, follow the hypothetical household, then give a checklist. The hypothetical household is invented. It has no name, it is not based on a real family, and it never reports a result from a product, because a worked example is a teaching device and a testimonial is an advertisement.
The reading level is deliberately plain. Terms are defined the first time they appear, one idea goes in one paragraph, and no step assumes you read a different website first.
What each step relies on
- Step 1 describes how products in this category are built and sold, in general terms, and points to the Australian Classification Board for anything about classification.
- Step 2 is household planning, with account-security guidance pointed at the Australian Cyber Security Centre and family guidance at the eSafety Commissioner.
- Step 3 teaches reading a vendor's own documents, with consumer-law context from the ACCC and privacy context from the OAIC.
- Step 4 is a general procedure that applies across the category rather than a walkthrough of any company's screens, which would be out of date within months.
- Step 5 covers the ordinary events of a year, with Scamwatch for message-based scams and eSafety for serious online harm.
Where a fact about a specific product is needed, it comes from that vendor's own published material or it is left out and marked "not stated". We do not repeat figures from review sites, videos or forums.
The commercial relationship, stated plainly
Yes — the course mentions a product we are paid to link to. Star Stable Online appears in Step 3 and Step 5, and the links to it are paid affiliate links: if you sign up after following one, the company running the programme pays Janaland, s.r.o. a commission. You pay no more as a result.
That relationship is why the course does not rank products and does not tell you which one to choose. It would not be honest for a site with a commission on one product to present itself as an impartial comparison. What we can honestly do is teach the questions, and let the answers come from each vendor's own pages. The affiliate disclosure sets out the full arrangement, including what does decide the content.
No game company commissioned, reviewed or approved this course. Wideshift is not an official site, a partner, a reseller or an authorised source for any product mentioned.
How often it is reviewed
The course is reviewed at least twice a year, and sooner if Australian consumer, classification or online safety guidance changes in a way that affects what a step says. Links to regulators are re-checked at each review. The review date appears in the footer of every page; at the last review it was 15 October 2026.
If you find something out of date or wrong, writing to us is the fastest way to get it fixed. Corrections are made in place, and the review date is updated when they are.
What this site does not do
It does not collect anything. There is no sign-up, no newsletter, no account, no quiz and no progress tracking, and the checklists do not remember what you tick. The site sets no cookies and loads nothing from any other server, which is why there is no consent banner — there would be nothing to consent to. The privacy policy and cookie policy describe this in detail.
It also does not give legal, financial or professional advice, is not accredited training, and issues no certificate. Our terms and conditions set out the limits.
