Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026
helenditomasso.com ("we", "us", "our") is an independent casino review website covering online pokies and casino services available to players in Australia. This disclosure explains how we earn revenue, how our editorial process works, and what our affiliate relationships mean for you as a reader.
How We Earn Revenue
helenditomasso.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some links on this website are affiliate links. When you click on certain links to online casinos or pokies sites featured on our pages and subsequently register, deposit, or play at those casinos, we may receive a commission from the casino operator at no additional cost to you.
These commissions are how we fund the operation of this website, including research, testing, content creation, and site maintenance. Without this revenue model, we would not be able to provide our reviews and guides free of charge.
Our Editorial Independence
We want to be completely transparent: affiliate commissions do not influence our editorial rankings, reviews, ratings, or recommendations.
- Our reviews are based on independent research, hands-on testing, and established evaluation criteria, including game selection, payout speed, licensing, security, customer support, and bonus fairness.
- Casino operators cannot pay to receive a positive review, a higher ranking, or the removal of criticism.
- Where a casino does not meet our standards, we say so — regardless of any commercial relationship.
- Rankings and ratings are determined by our editorial team before any commercial arrangements are considered.
How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
We believe in transparency, so here's how you can recognise commercial content on our site:
- Affiliate links — Links to casino websites (including "Play Now", "Visit Casino", "Claim Bonus" and similar buttons or text links) are typically affiliate links. Assume any outbound link to a casino operator may earn us a commission.
- Sponsored content — Where content has been sponsored or paid for by a third party, it will be clearly labelled with terms such as "Sponsored", "Paid Promotion", or "Advertisement" at or near the top of the content.
- Promotional placements — Featured or highlighted casino listings may be part of a commercial arrangement, but labelling requirements still apply and editorial scores remain independent.
Australian Regulatory Compliance
We are committed to operating in accordance with applicable Australian laws and industry standards, including:
- Australian Consumer Law (ACL), administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), which prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct and requires that commercial relationships relevant to reviews and recommendations be disclosed.
- ACMA guidance — We acknowledge the Australian Communications and Media Authority's role in regulating online gambling services and advertising to Australian audiences.
- Advertising standards — We endeavour to ensure our content is clearly distinguishable from advertising and complies with applicable wagering advertising rules under Australian federal and state/territory regulations.
Please note that online gambling laws vary between Australian states and territories. It is your responsibility to ensure that any gambling activity you undertake is lawful in your jurisdiction.
Your Responsibility as a Reader
- Our reviews and recommendations are opinions based on our testing and research; they are not guarantees of your experience or of any winnings.
- Always read the terms and conditions of any casino, bonus, or promotion before depositing money. Wagering requirements and withdrawal restrictions apply in most cases.
- You must be 18 years or older to gamble in Australia. Verify your eligibility before registering with any gambling operator.
- Gambling can be addictive. Please gamble responsibly and only wager money you can afford to lose. If you or someone you know needs help, contact Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 (free, 24/7) or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au.
- Consider whether the casino you choose is licensed and permitted to offer services to Australian players.
