Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026. This page explains the affiliate relationships maintained by Asconbd2023 (asconbd2023.com) and how those relationships may affect the content you read on this site. Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found here.

Our Commitment to Transparency

Asconbd2023 is operated by Lachlan Thornton, an independent reviewer and content creator specialising in online pokies and real money casino experiences for Australian players. Lachlan Thornton is committed to providing honest, accurate, and genuinely helpful information to Australian players seeking trustworthy guidance in 2026's online gambling landscape.

In the interest of full transparency and in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as applicable Australian consumer law standards, this page discloses all relevant commercial relationships associated with asconbd2023.com.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on asconbd2023.com are affiliate links. An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies asconbd2023.com as the referring source when a visitor clicks through to an online casino or pokies operator. These links are provided by affiliate programs operated by the casino brands themselves.

When you click an affiliate link on this site and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action with an online casino operator, Asconbd2023 may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes at no additional cost to you as the player. You will not pay more for a casino membership, bonus, or any other product or service as a result of using an affiliate link from this site.

How Affiliate Relationships Work on This Site

Commission structures: Asconbd2023 may earn revenue through cost-per-acquisition (CPA) deals, revenue share arrangements, or hybrid commission models negotiated with individual casino operators.
No guaranteed placements: Casinos and pokies platforms are not able to purchase higher rankings, more favourable written assessments, or editorial endorsements. Commercial arrangements do not determine where an operator appears in any list or how it is described in a review.
Partner relationships: Asconbd2023 maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of licensed online casino operators that accept Australian players. These partnerships are established after an operator has been evaluated, not before.

Editorial Independence and Review Methodology

Despite the existence of affiliate relationships, all reviews and recommendations published on asconbd2023.com reflect the independent, unbiased opinion of Lachlan Thornton. Affiliate income does not influence the content, ratings, or conclusions presented on this site.

Every online pokies platform reviewed on asconbd2023.com is assessed using a consistent methodology that includes the following criteria:

Licensing and regulatory compliance — only operators holding valid gambling licences from recognised authorities are considered.
Game library quality — the range, variety, and software providers behind available pokies titles are thoroughly examined.
Payout rates and return-to-player (RTP) figures — published RTP data and withdrawal processing times are scrutinised.
Bonus terms and wagering conditions — promotional offers are evaluated for fairness, clarity, and player value.
Security and responsible gambling tools — encryption standards, data protection practices, and self-exclusion features are assessed.
Customer support responsiveness — support channels are tested for availability, response times, and quality of assistance.

If Lachlan Thornton determines that an operator does not meet the standards expected by Australian players, a negative or cautionary review will be published regardless of any existing or potential affiliate relationship.
