Last updated: 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on cupsonmelbourne.com.au by James Wilson, owner and lead reviewer of Cupsonmelbourne.
Cupsonmelbourne.com.au participates in affiliate marketing programs with online casino operators and PayID pokies platforms reviewed on this website. This means that when you click on certain links featured in our reviews and recommendations, and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit with that operator, Cupsonmelbourne may receive a commission or referral fee at no additional cost to you.
These commercial relationships help fund the ongoing operation of this website, including the time and resources James Wilson dedicates to researching, testing, and writing thorough reviews of PayID pokies sites available to Australian players.
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies Cupsonmelbourne as the source of a referral to a casino operator. When you use one of these links:
You are never charged more, and you never receive less value, because of our affiliate relationships. The terms and bonuses you see are identical to what any other player would receive visiting the operator directly.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content, ratings, or recommendations published on Cupsonmelbourne. James Wilson maintains strict independence when evaluating PayID pokies sites and applies the same objective methodology to every operator reviewed, regardless of whether a commercial arrangement exists.
Sites that perform poorly in testing receive honest, critical reviews. Sites that fail to meet acceptable standards for Australian players may be actively discouraged or excluded from recommendations entirely, even if an affiliate arrangement is available. Cupsonmelbourne has declined affiliate partnerships where operators did not meet the quality standards required for a recommendation in good conscience.
James Wilson evaluates PayID pokies sites for Australian players using a consistent and transparent process that includes:
James Wilson has spent several years researching and analysing the Australian online pokies market with a focus on payment methods, operator reliability, and player protection standards. His reviews are informed by direct, hands-on testing rather than promotional material provided by operators. James is committed to giving Australian players accurate, current, and genuinely useful information so they can make informed decisions.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with best practices for transparent online publishing, Cupsonmelbourne clearly discloses all material connections between this website and the operators featured herein. Any page containing affiliate links or sponsored content will reflect this disclosure.
