Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: 2026
Our Affiliate Relationships
A Year on the Wharf (ayearonthewharf.com) is a participant in affiliate marketing programs operated by online casinos and gaming operators. When you click on certain links to casino websites from our site and complete a registration or deposit, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you.
How Commissions Are Earned
We earn affiliate commissions from the following activities:
- New player registrations through our referral links
- First-time deposits made by referred players
- Ongoing player activity at partner casinos
These commissions do not affect the price you pay or the bonuses you receive when signing up through our links.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate commissions have no influence on our casino reviews, rankings, or editorial content. We maintain complete editorial independence and rank casinos based on objective criteria including player safety, game selection, customer service, bonus terms, and user experience. We will never rank a casino higher or recommend it solely because it generates affiliate revenue for us.
Identifying Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on our site are clearly identified with the label "[Affiliate Link]" or similar notation near the link text. You can also hover over links to view the destination URL before clicking. Links to partner casinos throughout our reviews and comparison pages are affiliate links unless otherwise stated.
Regulatory Compliance
This disclosure complies with the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) Code of Ethics and the Australian Consumer Law, which require clear and prominent disclosure of affiliate relationships. We are committed to transparent business practices and honest representation of our financial interests.
Your Responsibility
We encourage you to conduct your own research and due diligence before registering with any online casino. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, you are ultimately responsible for your own gambling decisions. Please gamble responsibly, verify all casino terms and conditions independently, and check that any casino is licensed and regulated in Australia before playing.
