OnlinePokiesMates.com is committed to full transparency about how the website operates. To keep our content free and accessible, we earn revenue through affiliate partnerships(affiliate marketing) with some of the online casinos we review. This means that when you click on certain links and sign up and play, we may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you. Our goal is to help Aussie players make smarter gambling choices, and being upfront about how we’re funded is a main part of that.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a common model used in the online gambling industry, where websites like OnlinePokiesMates earn a commission for referring players to licensed casinos. When you click a link on our site and sign up with a casino, we may receive a commission if you go on to make a deposit. This arrangement helps us fund our work, testing platforms, writing reviews, and keeping information up to date, without ever charging our readers.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that connect you from our site to a partner casino. These links typically include a unique ID or tracking code that tells the casino you came from our site. When you click one of these links and make a deposit, the casino recognises that you came from our site and may pay us a commission. These links don’t affect your experience or the cost of playing; there are no extra fees, and in some cases, they may even unlock exclusive bonuses for our readers.

Why We Partner With Certain Casinos

We operate as a business, and part of our revenue comes from affiliate partnerships with selected online casinos. However, we only work with operators that meet our strict internal standards. Every casino featured on our site is thoroughly reviewed for licensing, player protection, fairness, and overall quality. Our goal is to recommend safe, high-value options to Aussie players while maintaining complete editorial independence.

Do Affiliate Partnerships Affect Our Reviews?

Our reviews are never influenced by affiliate partnerships. Every rating, recommendation, and piece of advice on the site is based on thorough, independent testing carried out by our team. We assess each casino using the same strict criteria. If a site fails to deliver on trust, fairness, or user experience, we’ll say so plain and simple.

Does It Cost You More to Use Our Links?

Using our links will not cost you anything extra. When you register or deposit at a casino, the amount you pay and the offers you receive are the same as if you visited the site on your own. The commission we receive is paid entirely by the casino operator and has no impact on the price or value you get as a player.
