At 18communications.com, operated by James Wilson, we believe that every Australian player who visits our site deserves to know exactly how we operate and how we generate revenue. This page exists to be completely open about our commercial relationships so you can make fully informed decisions about the recommendations and reviews you read here.
Some of the links published on 18communications.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an online casino or pokies operator featured on our site and subsequently create an account or make a deposit, 18communications may earn a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.
This is a standard and widely used practice across the online gambling review industry. The commission we receive comes directly from the operator, not from your deposits, winnings, or any money you choose to spend.
No. Affiliate commissions do not influence the content, scores, or recommendations published on this website. James Wilson maintains full editorial independence over every review, rating, and opinion expressed on 18communications.com. Operators cannot pay for positive coverage, higher ratings, or preferential placement in our editorial content.
We review and recommend online pokies sites based on merit alone. If an operator performs poorly in our evaluation, we will say so clearly, regardless of whether we hold an affiliate agreement with them. Equally, some operators we rate highly may not have any affiliate arrangement with us at all.
Every review published on 18communications.com is written by James Wilson following a structured and consistent evaluation process. Key factors assessed include:
Ratings are assigned independently based on these criteria. No operator is reviewed favourably solely because of a commercial relationship.
James Wilson is the owner and primary author of 18communications.com.

His goal is to provide Australian adults with honest, accurate, and up-to-date information so they can choose where to play with confidence.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and applicable Australian consumer transparency standards, 18communications.com discloses all material connections between this website and third-party operators. Any page or post that contains affiliate links is covered by this disclosure.
