Last updated: 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on deltamoon.org by site owner and primary reviewer Sophie Hargraves.
At Deltamoon, we believe every Australian player deserves honest, clear information before depositing real money at an online casino or pokie site. Part of that honesty means being upfront about how this website earns revenue. This page explains exactly what affiliate relationships are, how they work on deltamoon.org, and why they do not influence the editorial opinions you read here.
An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a website publisher and an online operator. When Deltamoon links to a casino or pokies platform and a visitor clicks that link, the operator can track where that visitor came from. If the visitor goes on to register an account or make a deposit, Deltamoon may receive a commission payment from the operator.
This is a standard, widely used practice across the online gambling review industry. The commission comes from the operator's marketing budget and does not add any cost to you as a player. You will never pay more by clicking a link on this site.
No. The existence of an affiliate agreement with an operator does not change the review score, the written assessment, or the recommendation you see on any page of deltamoon.org. Sophie Hargraves maintains full editorial independence over all content published on this site. Operators cannot pay to receive a higher rating, a more favourable write-up, or preferred placement in comparison tables.
Sites that score poorly in testing will receive poor reviews regardless of whether an affiliate arrangement exists. Sites that score well earn their rating through the review process itself.
Every casino and pokies platform reviewed on Deltamoon is assessed against a consistent set of criteria developed by Sophie Hargraves, who has spent years researching the Australian online gambling market. Key factors evaluated in every review include:
This disclosure is made in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as broader international consumer transparency standards relevant to Australian audiences. We believe readers everywhere have the right to know when a financial relationship may exist between a reviewer and the products being reviewed.
If you have any questions about how affiliate relationships work on this site, or if you would like clarification on whether a specific link or recommendation is commercially connected, you are welcome to contact Sophie Hargraves directly through the contact page at deltamoon.org. We are committed to answering honestly and promptly.
