Agamelbourne.com earns a commission from some of the casino operators we link to on this site. When you click through to a casino and complete a qualifying action — such as registering an account or making a deposit — the operator may pay us a referral fee. This never costs you anything extra. You pay exactly the same amounts, receive exactly the same bonuses, and get exactly the same experience as any other player visiting that casino directly. We believe you deserve to know this upfront, so here it is, clearly stated.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a tracked URL that tells a casino operator that a visitor arrived via agamelbourne.com. These links look and work just like any other hyperlink — clicking one takes you straight to the casino's website. The tracking happens invisibly in the background and is used solely to attribute any resulting commission to our site. You are never redirected through a third-party page, and no additional software is installed on your device as a result of clicking one of our links.
How We Earn
Our commissions are paid entirely by the casino operators we partner with, not by you. The table below breaks down the most common scenarios so you can see exactly how the process works.
| Action | Who Pays Agamelbourne | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|

| You create a free account at a casino | The casino operator (flat referral fee) | AUD $0 |
| You make a real-money deposit and play | The casino operator (revenue share commission) | AUD $0 |
| You claim a welcome bonus through our link | The casino operator (as part of the affiliate agreement) | AUD $0 |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it doesn't. Rankings and recommendations on agamelbourne.com are not for sale. No operator can pay us to be rated higher, featured more prominently, or reviewed more favourably. We have turned down partnership requests from casinos that did not meet our quality standards, and we continue to publish critical findings even for operators we do have affiliate agreements with. If a casino has slow withdrawals, poor customer support, or confusing bonus terms, we say so plainly in the review. Our long-term credibility with Australian players is worth far more to us than any short-term commission.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino reviewed on agamelbourne.com is assessed against the same set of criteria before we publish a recommendation. Those criteria include:
- Licensing and regulation — valid licence from a recognised authority, with responsible gambling tools in place for Australian players
- Bonuses and promotions — realistic wagering requirements, clear terms, and genuine value
- Game library — variety of slots, table games, and live dealer titles from reputable software providers
- Banking options — deposit and withdrawal methods suited to AU players, including processing times and any fees
- Customer support — responsiveness, availability, and quality of assistance tested firsthand
