At Zealouskidz (zealouskidz.com), we believe that honesty and transparency are the foundation of any trustworthy review platform. This page explains exactly how our website operates financially, how affiliate relationships work, and why those relationships never compromise the integrity of the content published here by Lachlan Hargreaves.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links, recommendations, or reviews on this website.
An affiliate relationship is a formal commercial arrangement between a content publisher and a third-party business. In the context of Zealouskidz, this means that some of the online pokie operators and casino platforms reviewed or recommended on this site have agreed to pay a commission if a visitor clicks through one of our links and subsequently creates an account or makes a deposit.
These links are commonly referred to as affiliate links. They contain a unique tracking code that allows the operator to identify traffic originating from zealouskidz.com. No additional cost is passed on to you as a user — the commission comes entirely from the operator's marketing budget.
Zealouskidz may receive financial compensation from casino and pokie operators when users click on clearly marked links and complete qualifying actions on those platforms. This compensation helps fund the ongoing costs of running this website, including research, testing, and content production.
Compensation may take the following forms:
Not every operator featured on this site has an affiliate arrangement with us. Some operators are included purely on merit, based on research and editorial judgment.

Lachlan Hargreaves maintains full editorial control over all content and applies a consistent, objective methodology regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists with a particular operator.
Operators are never able to pay for positive reviews, higher rankings, or favourable editorial coverage. If an operator does not meet our standards for Australian players in 2026, it will be rated accordingly, regardless of any financial arrangement.
Every online pokies platform reviewed on Zealouskidz is assessed using a structured, multi-point evaluation process. Key criteria include:
