Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Marinabar.co.nz | Author: Lachlan Drewe

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Marinabar (marinabar.co.nz), we believe that honesty is the foundation of every trustworthy review website. This page exists to clearly explain how our site earns revenue, how that relationship works in practice, and why it does not influence the editorial opinions published here by Lachlan Drewe.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this website.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

Marinabar participates in affiliate marketing programs operated by online casino operators and gambling platforms. This means that when you click a link on our site and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at a recommended casino, Marinabar may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.

These commissions are how we fund the ongoing operation of this website, including the time required to research, test, and write detailed casino reviews for Australian players.

How Affiliate Links Work

Affiliate links look and function like ordinary hyperlinks. When you click one, a small tracking identifier is added to the URL. This allows the casino operator to recognise that you arrived through Marinabar and attribute any qualifying commission to us accordingly. The price you pay, the bonus you receive, and the terms offered to you are identical to what you would receive visiting the casino directly. You are never charged more as a result of using our links.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

No. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. Lachlan Drewe operates with full editorial independence. Casinos are not permitted to purchase favourable reviews, alter our ratings, or dictate the content of any page on Marinabar. We maintain affiliate partnerships with some casinos we rate poorly, and we recommend casinos regardless of whether a commercial agreement exists.

If a casino does not meet our standards, we say so clearly — even if that means losing potential commission revenue.

Our Review Methodology

Every Australian online casino reviewed on Marinabar is assessed using a consistent, multi-point evaluation process developed by Lachlan Drewe. Reviews consider the following criteria:

Licensing and regulation: We verify that operators hold licences from recognised regulatory authorities.
Game library and RTP: We assess the quality, variety, and published return-to-player rates of available games.
Banking options: We examine deposit and withdrawal methods relevant to Australian players, including processing times and fees.
Bonus terms and fairness: We read and assess the fine print on all promotional offers, including wagering requirements.
Customer support: We test support channels for responsiveness and helpfulness.
Security and responsible gambling tools: We confirm the presence of SSL encryption and player protection features.

No casino receives a favourable score simply because of a commercial arrangement. Ratings reflect genuine hands-on assessment.

FTC Compliance
