Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

At croftersfold.com.au, we believe in being upfront and honest with our readers. This page explains how our website earns money, how that affects (and doesn't affect) our content, and what your responsibilities are as a reader.

1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions

croftersfold.com.au participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and subsequently sign up, register, or make a deposit with a casino, pokies venue, or gaming operator, we may receive a commission from that operator.

This comes at no additional cost to you. The commission is paid by the operator, and the price, odds, bonuses, or terms you receive are the same as if you had visited the operator directly (and in some cases, better).

Affiliate revenue is how we fund the research, testing, and maintenance of this website, allowing us to keep our content free for all readers.

2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Reviews or Rankings

We want to be clear: commercial relationships do not determine our editorial opinions, ratings, or rankings.

• Our reviews are based on hands-on testing and objective criteria, including game selection, payout speed, licensing, customer support, security, and user experience.
• Operators cannot pay to improve their rating or ranking on our site.
• Where we identify genuine flaws or concerns with an operator, we report them — regardless of any commercial relationship.
• Some operators we review have no commercial relationship with us at all; they are included purely on editorial merit.

Trust is the foundation of our site. If our readers can't rely on our recommendations, our business model fails anyway.

3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links

We want you to always know when a link may earn us a commission. Look for the following indicators:

• Buttons or links labelled with terms such as "Play Now", "Visit Site", "Claim Bonus", or similar calls to action.
• Links marked with an asterisk (*) or a note such as "affiliate link" or "we may earn a commission".
• Any content labelled "Sponsored", "Promoted", or "Advertisement" — these placements are paid for by third parties.
• Comparison tables and "top list" rankings may contain affiliate links on all or some listed operators.

As a general rule, assume that any outbound link on croftersfold.com.au pointing to a gaming operator may be an affiliate link unless explicitly stated otherwise.

4. Australian Regulatory Compliance

croftersfold.com.au operates in accordance with Australian law and regulatory expectations, including:

• Australian Consumer Law (ACL), administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), which requires that advertising and promotional content not be misleading or deceptive. We disclose our commercial relationships clearly so readers can make informed decisions.
• Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth), enforced by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). We do not operate gambling services ourselves, and we encourage readers to only engage with operators that hold appropriate licensing.
• Where we publish advertising, we aim to clearly distinguish it from editorial content, consistent with guidance from Ad Standards and the AANA Code of Ethics.

Please note that the legal status of certain online gambling services varies under Australian law. It is your responsibility to ensure that any service you use is lawful in your jurisdiction.

5. Your Responsibility as a Reader

While we work hard to keep our information accurate and current, the gambling industry changes quickly — bonuses, terms, licensing status, and venue details can change without notice.

• Always read the operator's terms and conditions before signing up or depositing funds, including wagering requirements and withdrawal limits.
• Verify that gambling is legal for you. You must be 18 years or older to gamble in Australia.
• Gamble responsibly. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never treat gambling as a source of income.
• Do your own research. Our reviews are opinions and should not be treated as financial or legal advice.

If gambling is causing you or someone you know harm, free and confidential help is available 24/7:

• National Gambling Helpline — 1800 858 858
