At Quilpiediggers (quilpiediggers.com), we believe that honesty is the foundation of every trustworthy review site. This page exists to clearly explain how our website is funded, how that funding may relate to the content you read, and why our editorial opinions remain independent regardless of any commercial relationships we hold.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations published on this website.
Some of the links on Quilpiediggers are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or pokies operator and subsequently sign up or make a deposit, Quilpiediggers may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes directly from the operator at no additional cost to you whatsoever. You will never pay more for a product or service because you arrived via one of our links.

When an operator partnership is in place, the arrangement typically works as follows:
No. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial opinions. Liam Harewood, the owner and primary reviewer at Quilpiediggers, evaluates every online pokies platform independently using a consistent, structured methodology. A commercial relationship with an operator does not guarantee a positive review, a higher rating, or preferential placement on this site.
Casinos and pokies platforms are assessed on their own merits. If a site underperforms, that finding will be reported honestly, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement exists.
Liam Harewood approaches every review with the same rigorous process. Key evaluation criteria include:
Scores and recommendations reflect this hands-on assessment process and are updated regularly to ensure accuracy in 2026.
