Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

At joelander.com, transparency with our readers is a core value. This page explains how our website is funded and what that means for you when you read our reviews of online pokies with the best payouts.

We Earn Affiliate Commissions

joelander.com is an affiliate website. This means that when you click on certain links to online casinos featured on our site and subsequently register, deposit, or play, we may receive a commission from the casino operator at no additional cost to you. These commissions are how we fund the operation of this website, including research, testing, and content creation.

Commissions Do Not Influence Our Reviews or Rankings

Our editorial team operates independently of our commercial relationships. The amount of commission offered by a casino operator has no bearing on:

• Where a casino ranks in our "best payout pokies" lists
• The scores or star ratings we assign
• The opinions, criticisms, or recommendations in our reviews
• Whether a casino is featured at all

Rankings are based on our own assessment criteria, including payout percentages (RTP), withdrawal speed, game selection, licensing, security, and player experience. We are committed to honest, unbiased reviews — including pointing out the drawbacks of casinos we promote.

How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links

You can identify affiliate links on joelander.com in the following ways:

• Buttons and links labelled "Play Now", "Visit Casino", or similar call-to-action text are typically affiliate links
• Affiliate links may be tagged with rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attributes in the page source
• Any sponsored or paid placement content will be clearly marked as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement"

Compliance with Australian Standards

As a website serving Australian readers, we aim to comply with applicable Australian regulations and industry expectations, including:

• The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), as enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), which prohibit misleading or deceptive conduct in advertising and affiliate marketing
• The AANA Code of Ethics, which requires that advertising and marketing communications be clearly distinguishable as such
• The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) — we encourage readers to be aware that it is illegal for operators to offer certain online casino services to people in Australia, and we provide information for educational and comparison purposes only
