At Thewonderingclassroom (thewonderingclassroom.com), honesty and transparency are the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to clearly explain the commercial relationships that exist on this website, how those relationships work, and why they do not compromise the integrity of the reviews and recommendations you read here.
We encourage every visitor to read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this site.
Thewonderingclassroom participates in affiliate marketing programs with a number of Australian online casino and pokie operators. This means that when you click on certain links featured on this website and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit with an online casino, Thewonderingclassroom may earn a commission or referral fee from that operator.
This type of commercial arrangement is standard practice across the online gambling review industry and is used to fund the research, writing, and ongoing maintenance of this website.
Affiliate links are specially coded URLs that track referrals from our website to a casino operator's platform. Here is what you should understand about how they function:
In accordance with the guidelines established by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials, Thewonderingclassroom fully discloses all material connections between this website and the casino operators featured in our content. Any page on this site that includes affiliate links is subject to the terms outlined in this disclosure.
This disclosure applies to all content published on thewonderingclassroom.com in 2026 and beyond, including casino reviews, pokie game guides, bonus comparisons, and operator recommendations.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content, star ratings, or recommendations published on Thewonderingclassroom. Our reviews are written and maintained independently of any commercial agreements.
Operators cannot pay for positive reviews, higher ratings, or preferential placement in our recommendations. Casinos that fail to meet our standards are reviewed critically and honestly, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement is in place. If a site is not good enough for Australian players, we say so.
Lachlan Drummond is the owner, author, and lead reviewer behind Thewonderingclassroom. All casino and pokie reviews published on this site are researched and written by Lachlan, drawing on extensive firsthand experience with Australian online gambling platforms.
