Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

hangchalift.com.au ("we", "us", "our") is an independent review and comparison website focused on PayID online pokies and casinos available to Australian players. This page explains how we earn money and what that means for you as a reader.

1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions

hangchalift.com.au participates in affiliate marketing programs operated by online casinos and gambling operators. When you click certain links on this website and subsequently register an account, deposit funds, or play at one of the featured casinos, we may receive a commission from that operator. This comes at no additional cost to you — the price, bonuses, and terms you receive are the same (and in some cases better) than visiting the casino directly.

These commissions are how we fund the operation of this website, including research, testing, content production, and site maintenance.

2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Reviews or Rankings

Our editorial content is produced independently of our commercial relationships. Specifically:

• Commission rates do not determine where a casino appears in our rankings, comparison tables, or "top" lists.
• We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, higher star ratings, or the removal of criticism.
• Our reviews are based on hands-on testing criteria including PayID deposit and withdrawal speeds, game selection, licensing, bonus fairness, customer support, and responsible gambling tools.
• Where we identify weaknesses or risks with an operator, we say so — regardless of whether we have a commercial relationship with them.

3. How to Identify Affiliate or Sponsored Links

We aim to make commercial relationships easy to recognise:

• Buttons and links such as "Play Now", "Claim Bonus", or "Visit Casino" that direct you to an operator's website are affiliate links.
• Where content is sponsored or provided in partnership with an operator, it will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored", "Advertisement", or "Paid Partnership".
• Affiliate links may be technically marked with rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attributes.

4. Australian Compliance Statement

We strive to ensure our affiliate disclosures and marketing practices comply with applicable Australian laws and standards, including:

• The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), as enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), particularly regarding misleading or deceptive conduct;
• The AANA Code of Ethics and the AANA's requirement that advertising and marketing communications be clearly distinguishable as such;
• The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth), as regulated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), including restrictions on the advertising of prohibited interactive gambling services to persons in Australia.

We only promote operators that hold valid licences in their respective jurisdictions, and we encourage Australian players to verify that any operator they choose is legally permitted to offer services to them.

5. Your Responsibility as a Reader

By using this website, you acknowledge and agree that:

• The information on hangchalift.com.au is provided for general informational and comparison purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or gambling advice.

• You should always read the full terms and conditions of any casino, bonus, or promotion before depositing money.
• Gambling involves risk. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, free and confidential help is available via Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) or gamblinghelponline.org.au.
