Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026

Welcome to aquasphereswimstore.com.au ("the Site"). This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we earn revenue and how that relates to the content you read on our website, including our "pokies near me" guides, casino reviews, and related recommendations. We believe in being fully transparent with our readers, so please take a moment to read the information below.

1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions

The Site participates in affiliate marketing programs with online casinos, gaming operators, and related service providers. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action with the operator, we may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.

This comes at no additional cost to you. The price, terms, bonuses, and conditions you receive are the same as those you would receive by visiting the operator's website directly. Affiliate commissions are how we fund the operation of this website, including research, testing, content creation, and ongoing maintenance.

2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Editorial Content

Our editorial independence is fundamental to how we operate. Specifically:

• Affiliate commissions do not influence our casino rankings, ratings, or review scores.
• Operators cannot pay for a higher ranking, a better review, or the removal of legitimate criticism.
• Our reviews are based on our own assessment criteria, which may include licensing and security, game selection, payout speed, customer support, bonus fairness, and overall user experience.
• Where a casino or operator fails to meet our standards, we say so — regardless of any commercial relationship.
• Not every operator we review has an affiliate arrangement with us, and we may recommend or list operators from whom we receive no commission at all.

3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links

We want you to always know when a link may generate revenue for us. You can identify affiliate and sponsored content on the Site in the following ways:

• Disclosure notices: Pages containing affiliate links display a notice near the top of the content or adjacent to the relevant links.
• "Visit Casino," "Play Now," and similar buttons: Call-to-action buttons and outbound links to casino operators are typically affiliate links.
• Link labelling: Where practical, affiliate links are labelled with wording such as "affiliate link" or marked with an asterisk (*) or similar indicator.
• Sponsored content: Any content that has been paid for or sponsored by a third party will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," or "Paid Promotion."

Please assume that any link on this Site directing you to an external casino or gambling operator may be an affiliate link.

4. Australian Regulatory Compliance

As a website directed at Australian readers, we aim to operate in accordance with applicable Australian laws and industry standards, including:

• Australian Consumer Law (ACL): Under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), misleading or deceptive conduct is prohibited. We disclose our commercial relationships so that our content is not misleading by omission.
• ACCC guidance: We follow the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's guidance on disclosing commercial relationships in online content, reviews, and testimonials.
• AANA Code of Ethics: We adhere to the Australian Association of National Advertisers' Code of Ethics, which requires that advertising and marketing communications be clearly distinguishable as such.
• Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth): We acknowledge Australia's regulatory framework for online gambling. We encourage readers to verify that any gambling service they use is legally permitted in their state or territory, and to check the register of licensed interactive wagering providers maintained by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, financial advice, or an endorsement of any unlawful gambling activity.

5. Your Responsibility as a Reader

By using this Site, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You are solely responsible for verifying the current terms, conditions, licensing status, and legality of any casino or gambling operator before signing up or depositing funds.
• You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia, and it is your responsibility to comply with the laws of your state or territory.
• Information on this Site, including bonuses, promotions, and availability, may change without notice and may differ from what is displayed at the time you visit an operator's website.
• Gambling involves risk, and you should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
• We are not liable for any losses, damages, or disputes arising from your dealings with third-party operators reached via links on this Site.
