Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on Billyrubinsblog (billyrubinsblog.org), written and maintained by Charlotte Lee.

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Billyrubinsblog, honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. Australian players deserve straightforward, trustworthy information when choosing where to play online pokies, and that starts with being completely open about how this website operates financially. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain language, with no fine print hidden away.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

Billyrubinsblog maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino and pokies operators. This means that when you click on certain links within our reviews or recommendation pages and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at an operator site, Billyrubinsblog may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.

This type of commercial arrangement is standard practice across review and comparison websites. The commission is paid by the operator, not by you. You pay nothing extra, and your experience on the operator's platform is entirely unaffected by whether you arrived via one of our links.

How Affiliate Links Work on Billyrubinsblog

Certain links on this site are tracked affiliate links that identify Billyrubinsblog as the referring source.
When you click one of these links and complete a qualifying action (such as registering or depositing), we may earn a commission.
Not every link on the site is an affiliate link. We link to regulatory bodies, player resources, and responsible gambling organisations without any commercial arrangement.
Affiliate links are used across reviews, comparison tables, and recommendation sections throughout the site.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

No. The existence of an affiliate relationship with an operator does not influence the content, rating, or recommendation that Charlotte Lee publishes about that operator. Billyrubinsblog covers both operators with whom we hold partnerships and those with whom we do not, and all are evaluated using the same consistent methodology.

A casino will not receive a favourable review simply because it generates revenue for this site. Equally, operators that score poorly against our criteria will have those shortcomings clearly documented, regardless of any commercial relationship. Our audience of Australian players comes first.

Our Review Methodology

Every pokies review and casino assessment published on Billyrubinsblog is carried out independently by Charlotte Lee, who brings extensive knowledge of the Australian online gaming market to each evaluation. Reviews assess operators against a defined set of criteria, including:

Licensing and regulation — valid licences from recognised authorities
Game selection — quality, variety, and software providers behind the pokies library
Bonus terms — fairness and transparency of welcome offers and ongoing promotions
Banking options — availability of deposit and withdrawal methods suited to Australian players
Security standards — encryption technology and data protection practices
Customer support — responsiveness and availability of support channels
Responsible gambling tools — presence of self-exclusion, deposit limits, and support resources

Scores and recommendations reflect genuine assessment outcomes. No operator can purchase a positive review or a higher rating on Billyrubinsblog.

FTC Compliance and Australian Consumer Law

This disclosure is published in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as applicable Australian consumer protection standards. We are required to disclose material connections that may influence how our content is perceived, and we do so willingly and prominently.

Questions About This Disclosure

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, review process, or how this site operates, please contact Charlotte Lee directly through the contact page at billyrubinsblog.org. We welcome all enquiries and are committed to responding openly and honestly.
