At Bleedinglove (bleedinglove.org), honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to be completely upfront with you about how this website operates, how it generates revenue, and how that revenue relationship never influences the editorial content you read here. As an Australian player researching PayID pokies, you deserve to know exactly where your information is coming from and whether it can be trusted.
Bleedinglove participates in affiliate marketing programs with various online casino operators. This means that when you click certain links on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at a casino, Bleedinglove may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at absolutely no extra cost to you as a player. You pay the same amounts you would pay by visiting the casino directly.
These types of commercial arrangements are common across review websites in the gambling industry and across many other industries online. The affiliate model allows websites like Bleedinglove to operate and provide free, detailed information to players without charging readers directly.
No. Affiliate relationships do not influence the content, scores, or recommendations published on Bleedinglove. James Wilson, the owner and primary reviewer of this site, maintains full editorial independence on all published material. Operators do not pay for positive coverage, do not preview reviews before publication, and have no authority to request changes to any published content.
Casinos that receive poor scores or negative assessments remain published as written, regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists with that operator. Where a casino does not meet acceptable standards for Australian PayID players, James Wilson will say so plainly.
James Wilson brings years of hands-on experience evaluating online pokies sites available to Australian players. Every review published on Bleedinglove is produced using a consistent assessment framework that examines the following criteria:

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with best practice standards for transparent publishing, Bleedinglove discloses all material connections to the operators featured on this site. The existence of a potential commission is considered a material connection and is disclosed here accordingly.
