At Dealo (dealo.com.au), we believe every reader deserves to know exactly how this website operates and how it earns revenue. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain, straightforward language so you can make fully informed decisions about the information you read here.
Dealo maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino and pokie operators available to Australian players. This means that when you click certain links on our website and subsequently sign up or make a deposit with an operator, Dealo may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes at no additional cost to you — you pay nothing extra by using our links, and you receive the same sign-up offers and terms you would by visiting the operator directly.
These types of commercial arrangements are common across the online casino review industry. Our affiliate relationships help fund the ongoing operation of this website, including the research, testing, and editorial work carried out by Lachlan Drummond.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content published on Dealo. Lachlan Drummond operates with full editorial independence, meaning that no operator can pay for a positive review, request the removal of negative findings, or dictate the star rating or recommendation status assigned to their platform.
Operators that offer affiliate commissions are held to the exact same review standards as those that do not. If an operator performs poorly in our testing — whether due to slow withdrawals, unfair bonus terms, inadequate licensing, or poor customer service — that will be reflected honestly in the published review, regardless of any commercial relationship.
Every PayID pokie site reviewed on Dealo is assessed through a consistent, structured process developed by Lachlan Drummond. Key criteria evaluated in each review include:
Lachlan Drummond is the founder and lead reviewer at Dealo. With hands-on experience reviewing Australian online casino platforms, Lachlan specialises in PayID payment technology, pokie game performance, and the practical withdrawal experience for Australian players. His reviews reflect genuine first-hand testing, not marketing copy provided by operators.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, Dealo discloses all material connections between this website and the operators reviewed or recommended. Any page containing affiliate links will reflect a commercial relationship that readers should be aware of when consuming that content.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, review process, or editorial policies, you are welcome to contact Lachlan Drummond directly through the contact page at dealo.com.au. We are committed to full transparency and will respond to all genuine enquiries.
