Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Studio19wollongong (studio19wollongong.com), we believe that honesty is the foundation of every trustworthy review site. This page exists to clearly explain how our website earns revenue, how that revenue model works, and why it never compromises the independence of the reviews and recommendations written by our author, James Wilson.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this website.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a content publisher and a third-party business. In our case, Studio19wollongong maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino and pokie operators that are licensed and available to Australian players.

When you click a link on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at an online casino, Studio19wollongong may earn a commission from that operator. This commission is paid to us by the operator at no additional cost to you whatsoever. You do not pay more, receive less, or experience any disadvantage as a result of clicking an affiliate link on our site.

How Affiliate Links Work on This Site

Links that direct you to online casino platforms from studio19wollongong.com may be tracked affiliate links. This means:

• The link contains a unique tracking code that identifies Studio19wollongong as the referring publisher.
• If you complete a qualifying action such as registering or depositing, the operator records this and pays us a referral commission.
• Your experience on the casino platform remains entirely between you and that operator.
• We do not have access to your personal account details, deposit amounts, or gameplay activity.

Does Affiliate Revenue Affect Our Reviews?

No. Our editorial content is fully independent of our commercial relationships. James Wilson evaluates every online pokie site and casino platform using a consistent, objective methodology regardless of whether an affiliate agreement exists with that operator.

It is important to understand that operators do not pay for placement, positive reviews, or higher ratings on Studio19wollongong. A casino that has an affiliate agreement with us may still receive a low score or a critical review if that is what the honest assessment warrants. Equally, a casino that does not have an affiliate relationship with us may still be featured and recommended if it genuinely serves Australian players well.

Our Review Methodology

James Wilson has spent years researching and analysing the Australian online gambling market. Every review published on Studio19wollongong is based on direct testing and evaluation of the following criteria:

• Licensing and regulation: We verify that operators hold valid licences and operate legally in markets accessible to Australian players.
• Game library and pokies selection: We assess the quality, variety, and software providers behind the available titles.
• Bonus terms and fairness: We examine wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, and the overall fairness of promotional offers.
• Banking options: We confirm that deposit and withdrawal methods are practical and reliable for Australian users.
• Customer support: We test response times, availability, and the quality of support provided to players.
• Security and responsible gambling tools: We check for SSL encryption, data protection practices, and the availability of self-exclusion features.
