At Yumbotumbo, we believe you deserve to know exactly how this website works and how it earns revenue. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain, honest language so you can read our reviews and recommendations with full confidence and clarity.
Some of the links you find on yumbotumbo.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an online casino or pokies operator and then sign up or make a deposit, Yumbotumbo may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes at no additional cost to you — you pay exactly the same amount you would pay by visiting that operator directly.
Affiliate partnerships are a standard and widely accepted model used across the online publishing industry. They allow us to fund the research, testing, and writing that goes into every review published on this site.
No — and here is why you can trust that.
Every review published on Yumbotumbo is written or directly overseen by James Wilson, the site's owner and lead analyst. James has spent years evaluating online casinos and pokies platforms available to Australian players, developing a structured, evidence-based approach to reviewing gambling products. His assessments are based on hands-on testing and verifiable criteria — not on the size of a commission or a commercial agreement with any operator.
We maintain affiliate relationships with some operators we rate highly and some we rate critically. Equally, there are operators we recommend that we do not currently hold affiliate agreements with. The editorial score and written verdict for any casino or pokies site on this platform are determined entirely by the review criteria below, not by whether a commercial relationship exists.
To ensure consistency and objectivity, every pokies site reviewed on Yumbotumbo is assessed against the following criteria:
Ratings are assigned only after this process is complete. No operator can purchase a higher rating or a favourable review on this site.
In accordance with the guidelines set out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials, Yumbotumbo discloses all material connections to the operators and products featured on this website. The existence of an affiliate relationship is a material connection and is disclosed here and, where relevant, within individual review pages.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, editorial process, or how we assign ratings, you are welcome to reach out directly. Contact details are available on the Contact page of yumbotumbo.com.
