Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

Welcome to Darkmobius (darkmobius.com). This page explains clearly and transparently how this website earns revenue and how that revenue relationship affects — or more importantly, does not affect — the reviews and recommendations you read here. Please take a moment to read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this site.

Who Runs This Site

Darkmobius is owned and operated by Lachlan Drummond, an Australian gambling writer and researcher specialising in online pokies and real money casino platforms available to Australian players. Lachlan has spent years testing, analysing, and writing about online casinos, with a focus on payout speed, game variety, licensing integrity, and player safety. Every review and recommendation published on darkmobius.com is researched and written by Lachlan personally.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship

Some of the links on darkmobius.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an online casino or pokies platform and subsequently sign up or make a deposit, Darkmobius may receive a commission from that operator. This commission is paid by the operator at no additional cost to you — you will not pay more, receive fewer bonuses, or be treated differently as a player because you arrived through an affiliate link.

Affiliate commissions are a standard and widely used method of monetising review and comparison websites. This is how darkmobius.com sustains itself and continues to produce free, detailed content for Australian players.

How Affiliate Links Work in Practice

When you click a casino link on this site, a tracking code is passed to the operator.
If you register and deposit, the operator credits Darkmobius with a referral commission.
The commission structure varies by operator and may be a one-time payment or a revenue-share arrangement.
Your experience as a player, including bonuses and withdrawal terms, is identical whether you arrived via an affiliate link or directly.

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence editorial decisions on darkmobius.com. Lachlan Drummond evaluates every casino independently, applying a consistent methodology regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists or may exist with that operator.

Not every casino reviewed on this site carries an affiliate link. Some operators are reviewed negatively or not recommended at all, even where a commercial arrangement could have been available. A casino's ranking and rating are determined solely by its performance against the review criteria — not by the size of any commission it offers.

Review Methodology

Every casino reviewed on darkmobius.com is assessed using the following criteria:

Licensing and regulation — whether the operator holds a valid licence from a recognised authority.
Withdrawal speed and reliability — actual processing times based on research and verified player reports.
Pokies selection — the quality, variety, and RTP transparency of real money pokie games available to Australian players.
Bonus terms and fairness — wagering requirements, maximum cashouts, and game restrictions are scrutinised closely.
Customer support quality — responsiveness and helpfulness of support channels.
Security and responsible gambling tools — encryption standards, deposit limits, and self-exclusion options.

FTC Compliance and Australian Consumer Law

In accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with transparency obligations under Australian Consumer Law, darkmobius.com is required to disclose material connections to the products and services it recommends. This page, along with in-page disclosures throughout the site, fulfils that obligation.

Questions About This Disclosure

If you have any questions about this affiliate disclosure, the review process, or how darkmobius.com operates, you are welcome to reach out directly. Transparency is a core principle of this site, and Lachlan Drummond is committed to providing honest, well-researched guidance to Australian players seeking trustworthy online pokies experiences.
