At Bobballinger (bobballinger.com), honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to clearly explain how our website operates financially, how that relates to the reviews and recommendations you read, and why you can trust the content created by site owner and lead reviewer Lachlan Drummond.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this website.
Some of the links on bobballinger.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to a casino or PayID pokies operator and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Bobballinger may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you pay nothing extra, and your experience with the operator is identical regardless of whether you arrived through our link or navigated directly to their site.
Affiliate relationships are a standard and legitimate way for review websites to cover their operating costs, including research, testing, writing, and site maintenance.
When you click a recommended operator link on bobballinger.com, a tracking cookie or unique referral code identifies that you came from our site. If you meet the operator's qualifying criteria — such as completing registration or making a first deposit — the operator pays Bobballinger a pre-agreed commission. Common commission structures in the Australian online gambling industry include:
The specific commercial terms of any individual arrangement are confidential between Bobballinger and the respective operator.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content published on this website. Lachlan Drummond evaluates every PayID pokies site independently, applying the same consistent methodology whether or not an affiliate agreement exists with that operator.
Operators cannot pay for positive coverage. A site that performs poorly in testing will receive a critical review, and sites that are not recommended will be clearly labelled as such regardless of any commercial relationship. Bobballinger reserves the right to remove any operator from its recommendations if standards decline.
Every review published on bobballinger.com is based on hands-on testing and structured evaluation. Lachlan Drummond assesses each PayID casino across a defined set of criteria, including:
Ratings and recommendations reflect the genuine outcome of this testing process.
