At Spikeandearl (spikeandearl.com), honesty and transparency are the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to clearly explain the commercial relationships that help keep this website running, and to assure you that those relationships never compromise the integrity of our reviews or recommendations.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or relying on any content published on this website.
Some of the links on Spikeandearl.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or pokie operator and subsequently sign up, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action, Spikeandearl may receive a commission payment from that operator.
This commission comes at no additional cost to you. You will not pay more for any product, bonus, or service by clicking through one of our affiliate links compared to visiting the operator's website directly.
Affiliate links contain a unique tracking code that identifies Spikeandearl as the referring source. When you click one of these links, the operator's platform records the referral. If you complete a qualifying action — such as creating a verified account or making a first deposit — the operator pays us a pre-agreed commission. This is a standard commercial arrangement used widely across the online publishing industry.
Not every link on this website is an affiliate link. Some operators are reviewed and mentioned without any commercial arrangement in place. Inclusion or exclusion of any casino from our content is based on editorial judgment, not on whether an affiliate agreement exists.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with advertising standards applicable to Australian audiences, Spikeandearl is required to disclose material connections to the brands and operators mentioned on this site. This page, along with individual disclosure notices where applicable, fulfils that requirement.
We are committed to meeting all relevant disclosure obligations so that you, the reader, can make fully informed decisions.
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the content, ratings, scores, or recommendations published on Spikeandearl. All reviews are written and edited by Daniel Reyes, the site's owner and lead reviewer, according to a consistent and objective methodology.
Every pokie game review and casino evaluation on this site is assessed using the following criteria:
Operators that perform poorly in any of these areas are rated accordingly, regardless of any commercial relationship. Negative findings are published without modification.
Daniel Reyes has spent years evaluating online gambling products with a specific focus on the Australian market. His assessments are based on direct hands-on testing, continuous monitoring of operator practices, and an ongoing commitment to providing Australian players with accurate and reliable information. No operator can pay to improve its rating or remove a negative review from this site.
