At Cutchweek, honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to clearly explain how this website earns revenue and how that revenue relationship affects — or more importantly, does not affect — the reviews, ratings, and recommendations you read here.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any recommendations or clicking any links on cutchweek.com.
Some of the links on Cutchweek are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an online casino or pokies operator and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Cutchweek may receive a commission payment from that operator.
This commission comes at no additional cost to you whatsoever. You will not pay more for any product, bonus, or service by clicking through from this site. The commission is paid entirely by the operator as part of their standard affiliate marketing program.
Cutchweek maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of licensed online casino and pokies operators that accept Australian players. These partnerships work as follows:
Not every operator reviewed on this site has an affiliate arrangement with Cutchweek. Some sites are reviewed and listed purely on merit, even where no commercial relationship exists.
No. Our editorial content is fully independent.
All reviews published on Cutchweek are researched, written, and evaluated by Lachlan Murray, the site owner and primary reviewer. Lachlan applies a consistent methodology to every site reviewed, regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists. Operators cannot pay for positive coverage, higher ratings, or preferential placement in rankings.
In fact, several operators with active affiliate agreements have received negative or below-average ratings on this site because the evidence gathered during review did not support a positive recommendation. Commercial relationships do not override factual assessment.
Every online pokies site reviewed on Cutchweek is assessed against a structured set of criteria designed to protect Australian players and reflect genuine quality. Key factors evaluated include:

In accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and equivalent Australian consumer transparency standards, Cutchweek discloses all material connections between this website and any third-party operators, products, or services. The affiliate commission arrangements described on this page constitute a material connection and are disclosed here in full.
