At Cleertool (cleertool.org), we believe that Australian players deserve honest, straightforward information about where they choose to play. Part of that honesty means being completely upfront about how this website operates financially. This page explains the commercial relationships that exist between Cleertool and certain online casino operators, and how those relationships do and do not influence the content you read here.
Some of the links you find on cleertool.org are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an online casino or PayID pokies operator and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Cleertool may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at absolutely no extra cost to you as the player. You pay nothing more than you would if you had navigated directly to the casino's website yourself.
Affiliate commissions are a standard and widely used model across the online publishing industry. They allow Cleertool to remain a free resource for Australian players without charging subscription fees or paywalling content.
No. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the editorial content produced by Lachlan Reid. Cleertool covers PayID pokies sites serving the Australian market, and the reviews and recommendations published here reflect genuine, independent assessment. Operators are evaluated on their actual merits — including payout speeds, PayID deposit reliability, game selection, licensing, bonus fairness, and customer support quality — not on the size of the commission they offer.
It is also important to note that not every operator mentioned on Cleertool has an affiliate arrangement in place. Some sites are discussed, compared, or critiqued purely because they are relevant to Australian players researching their options. A negative review will remain negative regardless of whether an affiliate deal exists.
Every review published on cleertool.org follows a consistent evaluation process developed by Lachlan Reid, who brings focused expertise in the Australian online gaming market and PayID payment ecosystem. The methodology includes:
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as principles consistent with Australian consumer protection standards. Cleertool clearly identifies sponsored or affiliate content so that readers can make fully informed decisions.
If you have any questions about how Cleertool's affiliate relationships work, or you would like to know whether a specific operator recommendation involves a commercial arrangement, you are welcome to reach out directly through the contact page at cleertool.org. Lachlan Reid is committed to responding honestly and promptly to any transparency-related enquiries from Australian readers.
