At Soundwaverewards, honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to give you a clear and complete understanding of how this website operates financially, and to assure you that our editorial content remains independent, objective, and genuinely useful to Australian players looking for trustworthy pokies recommendations.
Soundwaverewards.com participates in affiliate marketing programs with a number of online casino and pokies operators. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit with an online casino, Soundwaverewards may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.
These types of arrangements are common across the online gaming review industry. Affiliate commissions are how many comparison and review websites fund their operations, including the research, writing, and testing that goes into producing detailed, accurate content.
When you click a button or link labelled something like "Visit Casino", "Claim Bonus", or "Play Now", that link may contain a tracking code that identifies Soundwaverewards as the referring source. If you go on to sign up and play, the casino operator may pay us a commission based on your activity. Here is a summary of what this means in practice:
James Wilson, the author and owner of Soundwaverewards, maintains full editorial control over all content published on this website. No casino operator has the ability to purchase a favourable review, influence star ratings, or alter the conclusions of any assessment. Affiliate compensation is never a factor in determining whether a casino receives a positive or negative recommendation.
Casinos that score poorly in our evaluations will be rated accordingly, regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists. In some cases, we may include warnings about operators that we do not recommend, even when those operators have approached us about affiliate partnerships.
