At Artgolban (artgolban.com), honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page explains exactly how our website earns revenue, how that revenue model works, and why it never influences the editorial independence of our reviews. Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or recommendations found on this site.
Artgolban participates in affiliate marketing programs with a number of online casino and pokie operators serving the Australian market. This means that when you click a link on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at a recommended casino, Artgolban may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes entirely from the operator and is at no additional cost to you.
These types of commercial arrangements are standard practice across the online gaming review industry. Affiliate links function as a tracking mechanism that allows operators to identify traffic that originates from our website. The commission we may earn helps fund the ongoing operation of Artgolban, including research, testing, and content production.
When you click a button, banner, or text link labelled with terms such as "Play Now", "Claim Bonus", or "Visit Casino", that link typically contains a unique tracking code. This code tells the operator's system that you arrived via artgolban.com. You are not charged anything extra, and the casino experience you receive is identical to visiting the operator directly.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the content, ratings, or recommendations published on Artgolban. All reviews authored by Lachlan McAllister are produced independently, based solely on direct testing, user experience evaluation, and factual assessment of each platform.
Lachlan McAllister has developed extensive expertise in the Australian online pokies space, bringing hands-on experience evaluating real money platforms across licensing, payout reliability, software quality, bonus terms, and responsible gambling tools. His assessments reflect genuine first-hand knowledge of how these platforms perform for Australian players in 2026.
Operators cannot pay to receive a positive review, a higher rating, or a featured placement that is not editorially warranted. Casinos that do not meet our standards are rated accordingly, regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists. We have declined or terminated affiliate arrangements with operators that we assessed as unsuitable for our audience.
Every casino and pokie reviewed on Artgolban is evaluated against a consistent set of criteria, including:
In accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and applicable Australian consumer transparency standards, Artgolban discloses all material connections between this website and third-party operators. Any content that may earn a commission or referral payment is subject to this disclosure.
If you have any questions about how affiliate relationships work on this site, or if you would like clarification about a specific review or recommendation, you are welcome to contact Lachlan McAllister directly through the contact page at artgolban.com. We are committed to full transparency and will respond to all reasonable enquiries promptly.
