Short version: some of the links on this site are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you click through to a casino or pokies operator and sign up. Here’s the longer, more useful version.
What that means in practice
When one of our articles links to a third-party casino or pokies operator, that link can be an affiliate link. If you follow it and later create an account, the operator may pay us a referral commission. This costs you nothing extra — it doesn’t change what you pay, what you’re offered, or the odds on any game.
What it doesn’t buy
Commission arrangements do not influence which review sites or methodologies we choose to write about, and we don’t accept payment to describe a review’s testing process more favourably than the evidence supports. This desk doesn’t publish operator ratings of its own — we analyse how other people’s reviews are built — so there’s no rating for a commission to distort in the first place. If that ever changes, this page will say so.
Why we take commissions at all
Running an editorial desk costs money — research time, hosting, editing. Affiliate commission is one of the ways we cover that, alongside not charging readers directly. We’d rather be upfront about the arrangement than pretend it doesn’t exist.
How to tell
Any outbound link to a gambling operator on this site should be treated as a potential affiliate link. We don’t hide this behind a single buried disclosure — it’s linked in the footer of every page.
