Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
hccoffshore.com ("we", "us", "our") is an independent review website covering new Australian online pokies and casino sites. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how our website is funded and how that may relate to the content you read here. Please read it carefully before using any links or offers featured on this site.
1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions
Some of the links on hccoffshore.com are affiliate links. This means that if you click on one of these links and register, deposit, or play at an online casino we feature, we may receive a commission from that casino operator at no additional cost to you.
These commissions are how we fund the operation of this website, including testing casinos, researching new pokies releases, and maintaining up-to-date reviews. Without affiliate partnerships, we would not be able to provide this content free of charge.
2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Rankings or Reviews
Our editorial integrity is not for sale. The casinos we feature are reviewed and ranked based on our own assessment criteria, which include:
- Licensing and regulatory status
- Game selection and pokies variety
- Bonus terms, wagering requirements, and fairness
- Payment methods, payout speed, and AUD support
- Mobile experience and site usability
- Customer support quality
- Player reputation and complaint history
The size of any commission offered by an operator does not affect where a casino appears in our rankings, the score it receives, or the opinions expressed in our reviews. If a casino fails to meet our standards, we will say so — regardless of any commercial relationship.
3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
We aim to be transparent about which links are commercial. On hccoffshore.com:
- Buttons and links labelled "Play Now", "Claim Bonus", "Visit Casino", or similar call-to-action text are typically affiliate links.
- Any sponsored or paid placement will be clearly marked with a label such as "Sponsored", "Ad", or "Paid Promotion".
- Top lists and comparison tables may contain affiliate links throughout.
If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, assume that it is, or contact us for clarification.
4. Australian Advertising Compliance Statement
hccoffshore.com is intended for an Australian audience. We strive to ensure that our promotional and affiliate content complies with applicable Australian standards, including:
- The AANA Code of Ethics and the AANA Wagering Advertising & Marketing Communication Code, which require that advertising is clearly distinguishable as such and is not misleading.
- Australian Consumer Law principles under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, including the prohibition on misleading or deceptive conduct.
- Relevant provisions of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) and associated guidance from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
We do not target minors, and we do not present gambling as a solution to financial problems or as a guaranteed way to make money.
5. Your Responsibility as a Reader
While we work hard to keep our information accurate and current, the online gambling industry changes quickly. Bonuses, terms, licensing, and availability may change without notice. Before registering or depositing at any casino, you should:
- Read and understand the casino's full terms and conditions, including wagering requirements and withdrawal limits.
- Verify that the casino accepts players from your location and that its offer is current.
- Confirm you are 18 years or older, as required by Australian law.
- Gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a source of income.
By using hccoffshore.com and clicking our affiliate links, you acknowledge and accept the terms of this disclosure. Your use of any third-party casino site is at your own risk, and we are not liable for any losses or disputes arising between you and any operator.
