At Drinkcorkscrew, we believe in full transparency with every reader who visits our site. This page explains how we earn money, how that process works, and why it never compromises the honesty or accuracy of the reviews and recommendations you find here.
Some of the links on drinkcorkscrew.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an Australian online casino or pokies platform and go on to register an account or make a deposit, Drinkcorkscrew may receive a referral commission from that operator at no additional cost to you. You will never pay more by clicking through our links.
This disclosure is made in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and applies to all pages, reviews, comparison tables, and recommendations published on this website.
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies Drinkcorkscrew as the source of a referral. When you click one of these links, a small cookie may be placed in your browser so the casino operator can recognise that you arrived from our site. If you complete a qualifying action — such as creating an account or depositing real money — the operator pays us a pre-agreed commission.
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the content, ratings, or recommendations published on Drinkcorkscrew. Every review is written and assessed on its own merits. Operators cannot pay to receive a higher rating, a more favourable review, or preferential placement in our rankings. If a casino performs poorly in our testing, that finding is reported honestly regardless of any commercial arrangement.
James Wilson, the owner and primary reviewer at Drinkcorkscrew, maintains full editorial control over all published content. No operator has the ability to edit, approve, or suppress a review before or after publication.
