Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

Golden Crown Review AU is a free, independent website. We pay for our research, testing and writing through affiliate commissions. When you click certain links on this site and go on to register or deposit at Golden Crown Casino, we may receive a payment from the operator's affiliate programme. You are never charged for this. The price, bonus and terms you get are exactly the same as if you had typed the address into your browser directly. We are telling you this up front because you deserve to know how a website that costs you nothing keeps the lights on.

How we make money

Some of the outbound links on this site, including buttons and text links pointing to Golden Crown, are affiliate links. If you follow one of those links and then open an account or place a deposit, Golden Crown's affiliate programme may pay us a commission or a share of revenue. That payment comes out of the operator's marketing budget, not your pocket. You do not pay more, you do not receive a worse bonus, and you are not treated any differently for arriving through our link.

For clarity, affiliate links on this site carry the rel="nofollow sponsored" attribute and open in a new tab, which is the standard way to mark a paid or commercial link. Not every link earns us money; many of our links point to support services, regulators and our own pages, and those earn us nothing. The commercial relationship is limited to the casino sign-up links.

This model is common across comparison and review websites and is recognised by transparency frameworks such as the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) endorsement guides and, in Australia, the consumer-protection principles overseen by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). The core rule is simple: where there is a paid relationship, it should be disclosed plainly. That is what this page does.

Our ratings are not for sale

This is the part that matters most. An operator paying us a commission does not buy a better review, a higher trust score, or a more favourable verdict. Our ratings are decided by our editorial process before any commercial consideration, and they are based on real testing: we deposit our own money, play the games, request withdrawals and time them, and message support to see how they respond. The 4.4 out of 5 score we give Golden Crown reflects what we measured, including the things we did not like, which you will find written plainly in our cons lists and in the full Golden Crown Casino review.

If our testing turns up a problem, a slow payout, an unfair term, or a support failure, we write about it, regardless of whether there is an affiliate relationship. We would rather tell you the truth and keep your trust than win a single commission by hiding a flaw. If a casino ever stopped meeting our standards, we would say so and adjust the rating, commission or not.

What this means for you

In practical terms: using our links is an easy, no-cost way to support the work if you find it useful, and you lose nothing by doing so. You are also completely free not to. If you would prefer, you can navigate to Golden Crown directly without using our links, and nothing about your experience or your bonus will change. Either way, we would rather you gamble within your means than spend a cent you cannot afford. Please read our responsible gambling guide and remember you must be 18 or over to play.

We aim to keep this disclosure honest and current. If you have a question about how we are funded or how we test, our methodology is set out on the about page. Thank you for reading, and for trusting us enough to check.
