Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Dewgood (dewgood.net), we believe that honesty is the foundation of every trustworthy review. This page explains exactly how our website earns revenue, how that revenue is generated, and why it never influences the editorial opinions you read here. Please take a moment to read this disclosure carefully before using any of the recommendations found on this site.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on dewgood.net are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or pokies operator and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Dewgood may earn a commission from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you pay exactly the same amount, receive the same bonuses, and access the same games whether you arrive at a casino through our link or by typing the address directly into your browser.

Affiliate commissions are a standard and widely used method of monetising review and comparison websites across the internet. They allow us to fund the research, testing, and writing that goes into every review published on this site.

How Affiliate Relationships Work on Dewgood

Dewgood has established affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino operators that accept players from Australia. These relationships work as follows:

• When a reader clicks an affiliate link on dewgood.net, a tracking cookie is placed in their browser.
• If that reader goes on to complete a qualifying action — such as registering an account or depositing funds — the operator records that referral.
• Dewgood then receives a commission payment from the operator based on a pre-agreed rate or revenue-share model.
• This tracking process is entirely standard across the affiliate marketing industry and complies with applicable privacy regulations.

Our Editorial Independence

Having affiliate relationships with operators does not mean that those operators receive favourable treatment in our reviews. Lachlan McBride, the owner and primary reviewer at Dewgood, maintains complete editorial independence from all commercial partners. No operator can pay for a positive review, request that negative findings be removed, or influence the star ratings or conclusions published on this site.

Casinos that fail to meet our standards are rated accordingly, regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists. In some cases, we may choose not to recommend an operator at all, even where a commercial arrangement could have been profitable. Our readers' safety and trust matter more than any commission.

Review Methodology

Every casino and pokies platform reviewed on Dewgood is evaluated using a consistent, independent methodology developed by Lachlan McBride. The review process covers the following areas:

• Licensing and regulation: We verify that operators hold valid licences from recognised authorities before recommending them to Australian players.
• Game selection and software quality: We assess the range and quality of pokies and other games available on each platform.
• Bonuses and promotions: We analyse welcome offers, ongoing promotions, and wagering requirements for fairness and value.
• Banking options: We check deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, and any associated fees.
• Mobile compatibility: We test how well each casino performs on smartphones and tablets commonly used in Australia.
• Customer support: We evaluate the responsiveness and quality of each operator's support channels.
