You pay nothing to read BonusOut, and that will not change. We are an information website about gambling in Australia, and some of the online casino operators we write about pay us a commission. You should know how that works before you rely on anything on this site.
This page explains where our income comes from, what keeps money away from our editorial work and how to contact us.
Where our income comes from
Some links on BonusOut lead to online casino operators, and some of those are affiliate links. If you follow one and open an account with the operator, the operator may pay us a commission.
Our guides on Australian gambling law, illegal gambling websites and gambling harm are written to inform you, not to promote an operator. They carry no bonus offers and no links to operators.
What this means for you
You pay nothing extra for using one of our links. We receive a fee, and that fee helps to fund the site.
A link to an operator is not, on its own, a recommendation that you gamble with it, and it does not tell you whether the operator is licensed in Australia. Everything here is general information, not legal, financial or medical advice.
How we check our content
Our editorial team checks facts, figures and dates against primary sources – such as legislation, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and other government and support-service websites – and shows the source and the date in the text.
If you find a mistake, tell us. We will check it, correct it and update the date on the page.
Rules that protect our independence
We keep the commercial side of BonusOut separate from the editorial side. In practice that means:
- Commission does not shape what we write – what we say about an operator depends on what we find when we check it, not on what it pays us.
- Operators cannot buy coverage – an operator cannot pay to have anything written, changed or removed, and we do not accept gifts or other benefits for doing so.
- We are careful with labels – we do not call a particular website illegal unless a regulator has said so.
What we commit to
We want you to decide with accurate information in front of you, so editorial independence comes before income. If the way BonusOut is funded changes, we will say so on this page and show the date.
If you have a question about how we are funded, write to us at info@bonusout-au.com. How we handle your personal information is explained in our privacy policy.
