```htmlLast updated: January 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on Openegg (openegg.org), authored and maintained by Lachlan Davies.
Openegg participates in affiliate marketing programs with a number of online casino and pokie operators available to Australian players. This means that when you click certain links on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at a recommended casino, Openegg may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.
These affiliate relationships help fund the ongoing operation of this website, including the time and resources required to research, test, and publish detailed reviews of real money pokie sites for the Australian market.
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies Openegg as the referring source when a user visits a casino operator's website. If you click one of these links and complete a qualifying action — such as creating a new player account or making a first deposit — the operator may pay Openegg a commission based on a pre-agreed arrangement.
These commissions are typically structured as:
Not every link on Openegg is an affiliate link. Some operators are reviewed and listed purely for editorial completeness, with no commercial relationship in place.
It does not. The existence of an affiliate relationship has no influence on the ratings, rankings, or editorial opinions expressed by Lachlan Davies on this website. Operators are evaluated using a consistent, independently developed review methodology regardless of whether a commercial arrangement exists.
Casinos that pay higher commissions do not receive more favourable reviews. Operators that score poorly under our evaluation criteria will be rated poorly, even if an affiliate agreement is active. Equally, operators with no commercial relationship may appear prominently if they genuinely serve Australian players well.
Every real money pokie site reviewed on Openegg is assessed against a structured set of criteria developed by Lachlan Davies, who brings direct experience evaluating online gambling products in the Australian market. Key evaluation factors include:
Lachlan Davies operates Openegg as an independent publication. No casino operator has editorial approval, review access prior to publication, or the ability to request amendments to published content in exchange for commercial consideration. All final editorial decisions rest solely with the author.
The goal of Openegg is to provide Australian players with accurate, honest, and well-researched information to help them make informed decisions about where to play real money pokies online.
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and equivalent transparency obligations recognised in Australia, Openegg discloses all material connections to operators featured on this site. This page constitutes that disclosure. Individual review pages and recommendation lists may also carry inline disclosure notices as an additional transparency measure.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, review process, or editorial policies, you are welcome to contact Lachlan Davies directly through the contact page at openegg.org.
