Transparency is a core value at Pointofumedia. Before you read any review, recommendation, or ranking on this website, we want you to fully understand how this site operates financially and how that relationship — or lack thereof — influences the content you read. This page exists to give you complete clarity on our affiliate relationships, our editorial standards, and your rights as a reader.
Pointofumedia participates in affiliate marketing programs with a number of online casino and pokie operators available to Australian players. This means that when you click on certain links on this website and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action at an online casino, Pointofumedia may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes directly from the operator — not from you. You pay nothing extra, and your experience at the casino is not affected in any way by whether you arrived there through our link.
Links to online casino operators found throughout Pointofumedia.com — including within reviews, comparison tables, top lists, and call-to-action buttons — may be affiliate links. These links are tracked using unique identifiers that allow operators to recognise that a player was referred from our site. If a qualifying action takes place, we earn a commission. If you visit a casino through a non-affiliate link or navigate directly, no commission is earned.
We do not hide this. Where affiliate links are present, this disclosure applies in full. We are committed to compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as Australian consumer transparency expectations.
No. Our editorial content is completely independent of our commercial relationships. James Wilson, the owner and primary reviewer at Pointofumedia, applies a consistent, research-driven methodology to every casino and pokie site reviewed on this platform. The existence of an affiliate agreement with an operator does not guarantee that operator a positive review, a high ranking, or inclusion on any recommended list.
Casinos that perform poorly in our evaluation criteria are rated accordingly — regardless of whether they have an affiliate arrangement with us. Equally, a casino we do not currently have an affiliate relationship with may still appear and rank highly if it meets our quality standards.
Every online pokies site reviewed on Pointofumedia is assessed against a structured set of criteria, including but not limited to:
James Wilson has spent years analysing the Australian online gambling landscape with a focus on pokie games and casino platforms.
