This page explains two important things about how this website operates: the limitations of the information we publish, and the commercial relationships we maintain with casino operators. Reading both sections will give you a clear and honest picture of who we are, how we make money, and how that affects — and does not affect — the content you read here.
Transparency is a core part of how we work. We believe readers deserve to know exactly when a link may earn us a commission and exactly what our content can and cannot tell them. If you have any questions after reading this page, please reach out via our Contact Us page.
Part 1: Disclaimer
1.1 General information only
Everything published on this website — including casino reviews, bonus comparisons, pokie guides, RTP breakdowns, and editorial rankings — is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes gambling advice, financial advice, legal advice, or any other form of regulated professional guidance. We are an editorial comparison platform, not a licensed gambling operator, financial adviser, or legal practitioner.
Our content is intended to help adult Australians understand what different online casino platforms offer, how bonuses work, and what to look for when comparing pokies. This is educational information, not a recommendation to gamble. You should always make your own independent assessment before registering at any platform or depositing any funds.
1.2 Gambling involves risk
We want to be direct about this: gambling carries real financial risk. Online pokies and casino games are designed with a house edge, which means the operator has a mathematical advantage over the player in the long run. No strategy, system, guide, or comparison tool — including anything published on this website — can change that fundamental reality or guarantee a positive outcome.
You should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. If you find that gambling is causing financial stress, relationship difficulties, or emotional harm, we strongly encourage you to stop and seek support. Free and confidential help is available through Gambling Help Online at 1800 858 858, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week across Australia.
1.3 Accuracy and timeliness
We make every effort to ensure the information published on this site is accurate and current at the time of writing. Casino bonus offers, wagering requirements, minimum deposit thresholds, payment method availability, and licence details are all subject to change by operators at any time and without prior notice. What is accurate today may be different tomorrow.
We strongly recommend that you verify all terms and conditions directly with the casino operator before registering, claiming a bonus, or making a deposit. We accept no responsibility for losses, missed bonuses, or misunderstandings arising from reliance on information that has since been updated or withdrawn by a third party.
1.4 Third-party platforms
When you click a link on this site and visit an external casino or gaming platform, you are entering a separately operated environment that is entirely beyond our control. We have no influence over how those platforms function, what bonuses they offer, how quickly they process withdrawals, or how they handle customer complaints. Each operator is governed by its own terms and conditions, licence conditions, and internal policies.
We select the platforms we feature based on our own review methodology, which takes into account factors such as licence validity, bonus transparency, and user feedback. However, inclusion on this site is not an endorsement of any platform’s reliability, security, or suitability for your personal circumstances. Always gamble responsibly and within the limits set by the platform and your own financial situation.
1.5 Regulatory context for Australian players
The online gambling landscape in Australia is governed primarily by the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and its subsequent amendments. Under this legislation, offshore casino operators are generally prohibited from offering real-money interactive gambling services to Australian residents unless licensed appropriately. However, Australian players who choose to access offshore platforms do so at their own risk, and no penalties currently apply to individual players under this framework.
Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice regarding the legality of online gambling in your specific circumstances or jurisdiction. If you are uncertain about the legal position that applies to you, we recommend seeking independent legal advice. Laws and regulatory positions can change, and it is your responsibility to ensure you are acting in accordance with applicable legislation.
Part 2: Affiliate Disclosure
2.1 How we generate revenue
This website operates as an affiliate marketing platform. This means that some of the links you find on our pages — particularly the “Play Now”, “Claim Bonus”, and “Visit Casino” buttons — are affiliate links. When you click one of these links and subsequently register an account and make a qualifying deposit at the casino, we receive a commission from the operator. This commission is paid by the casino and does not result in any additional cost to you as a player.
Affiliate marketing is a standard and widely used model across the online casino comparison industry. It allows us to publish detailed, freely accessible content without charging readers. We disclose this relationship in full because we believe you have a right to know how the site is funded and to factor that into how you evaluate what you read here.
2.2 How affiliate relationships affect our content
We want to be clear about what our affiliate relationships do and do not influence. Our commercial relationships do not determine which casinos appear in our rankings, what ratings we assign, or what we write in our reviews. We apply a consistent review methodology across all platforms we assess, and casinos that score poorly on factors like licence transparency, bonus fairness, or withdrawal reliability will reflect that in our content regardless of whether they are affiliate partners.
At the same time, we acknowledge that the casinos featured most prominently on this site — particularly those listed in comparison tables and “top picks” sections — are typically platforms with which we have active affiliate agreements. This is a practical reality of how affiliate comparison sites operate. We manage this tension by maintaining editorial standards that prioritise accuracy and reader usefulness over commission potential, and by clearly labelling sponsored or promoted placements where they exist.
2.3 Which links are affiliate links
As a general rule, any link that directs you to a casino registration or deposit page should be treated as a potential affiliate link. This includes buttons labelled “Play Now”, “Claim Bonus”, “Get Started”, “Visit Casino”, and similar calls to action throughout the site. Links to regulatory bodies, responsible gambling organisations, and general informational resources are not affiliate links and are included purely for the reader’s benefit.
We do not insert hidden tracking parameters into links without disclosure, and we do not accept payment to artificially inflate ratings or fabricate positive reviews. If a platform pays for a featured position or sponsored placement, this will be clearly indicated in the relevant section.
2.4 Our review and selection process
Casinos featured on this website are selected based on a combination of editorial criteria and commercial viability. From an editorial perspective, we look at licence validity, bonus terms and wagering requirements, game library depth, payment method support for Australian players, withdrawal speed, and the quality of customer support. Platforms that do not meet a minimum threshold across these criteria are not featured, regardless of the commission rate offered.
From a commercial perspective, we prioritise partnerships with operators who have established reputations, pay affiliates reliably, and treat their players fairly. We do not work with unlicensed operators or platforms that have a documented history of withholding player funds or engaging in unfair practices. Our reputation depends on the quality of the platforms we refer readers to, which means our commercial interests and editorial interests are broadly aligned.
2.5 Compliance with Australian consumer law
This disclosure is made in accordance with the guidelines of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), which requires that material commercial relationships between content publishers and the products or services they promote be clearly disclosed to consumers. Failure to disclose affiliate relationships in a transparent manner may constitute misleading or deceptive conduct under the Australian Consumer Law.
We take this obligation seriously. If you ever feel that a commercial relationship has not been adequately disclosed on any page of this site, please contact us and we will review and address the issue promptly. Our goal is to be a resource you can trust, and that trust depends on honesty about how we operate.
