Which links are affiliate links
Every button or link that leads to a casino on this site is an affiliate link. That covers the cards in the rankings, the “Visit” and “Claim” buttons, the sign-up and log-in links, the banners and the call-to-action buttons inside articles. They all pass through one internal address, and each carries the attributes that tell search engines the link is sponsored and should not be followed. We do not link to casinos any other way.
Banners that promote an offer are labelled “Ad”. Reviews and rankings are not ads, but they sit on a site that earns money when readers click, and you should read them with that in mind.
What commission does not change
Commission is not a scoring criterion. The seven criteria and their weights are published on how we rate, and every casino is scored against the same list. We rank a casino lower when it deserves to be lower, including the ones that pay us for a click. For example, a casino that will not take Australian players drops below all the ones that do, however high it scores and whatever it pays us.
We also say when a casino is weak. Each review lists cons next to pros, and the rankings include casinos with 60x to 80x wagering or a missing licence, flagged as such.
What we do not get
We do not receive payment to change a score, and we do not accept a casino’s wording for our text. Facts come from the operators’ published terms, from our own checks and from official Australian sources. Where an operator’s claim could not be tested, the review marks it as the operator’s claim.
Australian law is changing
A reform bill passed Parliament in August 2026 (the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bill 2026). According to the ACMA it bans commissions paid to staff or affiliates on the basis of customer activity, adds restrictions on gambling advertising and strengthens enforcement against illegal services. Most measures commence on 1 January 2027. We follow those developments, and how we are paid, or whether we publish certain links, may change as the law does. Our legal guide covers the reform in detail.
The legal position of the casinos we list
Every casino in our ranking is offshore. Serving Australians is an offence for the operator under the Interactive Gambling Act, and the ACMA asks internet providers to block such sites. If a dispute arises, players have little recourse. We repeat this here because an affiliate site should not leave it out.
