Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026
This disclosure explains how hotpinkballroom.com earns money through its coverage of real pokies online in Australia and how we distinguish commercial relationships from editorial content.
Affiliate commissions
Some links on hotpinkballroom.com are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and then register with a casino, make a deposit, or satisfy another qualifying condition, we may receive a commission or other compensation from the operator. This generally does not increase the price you pay.
These commissions help fund the operation of the website, including research, reviews, comparisons, and site maintenance.
Editorial independence
Affiliate commissions and other commercial relationships do not influence our editorial rankings, ratings, reviews, or conclusions. Operators cannot pay for a higher editorial ranking or a positive review.
Our reviews may include both advantages and criticisms, regardless of whether we have a commercial relationship with the operator. Any sponsored placement will be identified as advertising and will not be presented as an independent editorial ranking.
How to identify affiliate and sponsored links
- Affiliate links may appear as text links, casino buttons, bonus links, or tracked links within reviews and comparison tables.
- They may be identified with wording such as “Affiliate link,” “Advertisement,” or “Sponsored,” and may use the HTML attribute
rel="sponsored". - Paid placements or sponsored content will be labelled so they can be distinguished from editorial content.
- Unless clearly indicated otherwise, you should assume that outbound links to casino or gambling operators may be affiliate links.
Australian advertising compliance
We aim to disclose material commercial relationships clearly and prominently and to avoid misleading or deceptive conduct, consistent with the Australian Consumer Law, relevant Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) guidance on advertising and online reviews, and, where applicable, the AANA Code of Ethics.
Your responsibility as a reader
You are responsible for verifying that any operator, offer, and gambling activity is legal and available to you before participating. Gambling laws can change, and some interactive gambling services are prohibited from being offered to people in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth). A link or review on this website does not confirm that a service is licensed, legal, or suitable for your location.
You must be at least 18 years old and meet the operator’s eligibility requirements. Always read the applicable terms, including bonus conditions, wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, and identity-verification rules. Information on this website is general information only and is not legal or financial advice.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. If gambling is causing problems for you or someone close to you, free and confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online or by calling 1800 858 858 within Australia.
