At Manuelbrandao, honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to give you a clear and complete picture of how this website earns money and how that relationship affects — or more importantly, does not affect — the reviews and recommendations you read here. We believe you deserve to know exactly how this site operates before you rely on any of our content to make gambling decisions.
Some of the links on manuelbrandao.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or pokie site and subsequently sign up or make a deposit, Manuelbrandao may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes directly from the casino operator and does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay, the bonus you receive, and the terms of service you agree to remain exactly the same whether you arrived at a casino through our link or typed the address directly into your browser.
Manuelbrandao maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of licensed online casino operators that accept Australian players. These arrangements work as follows:
These commissions are the primary source of revenue that keeps manuelbrandao.com running, allowing James Wilson to continue producing detailed, research-backed pokies content for Australian players at no charge to readers.
Despite these commercial relationships, James Wilson maintains complete editorial independence over every review, rating, and recommendation published on this site. Affiliate partnerships do not influence which casinos receive positive coverage, which sites are ranked higher, or which operators are warned against. A casino that pays a higher commission rate does not receive a better score because of it. Equally, a site with no affiliate agreement is reviewed just as rigorously and fairly as one that generates significant revenue for this site.
If a casino has poor withdrawal times, unfair bonus terms, a limited pokie library, or inadequate licensing for the Australian market, that information will be stated clearly in the review — regardless of any financial relationship.
Every online pokie site reviewed on Manuelbrandao is evaluated by James Wilson against a consistent, structured set of criteria. These include:
This disclosure is made in accordance with the guidelines published by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials in advertising. Manuelbrandao is committed to meeting these transparency standards so that every Australian reader can make fully informed decisions.
If you have any questions about how affiliate relationships work on this site or about the independence of any specific review, you are welcome to contact James Wilson directly through the contact page at manuelbrandao.com. Transparency is not just a legal requirement here — it is a core editorial value.
