```htmlAt The Shimmy Showgirl Collective (theshimmyshowgirlcollective.com), honesty and transparency are the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to clearly explain the commercial relationships that may exist between this website and the online casino and pokie operators we review and recommend to Australian players.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links, recommendations, or reviews published on this site.
Some of the links on theshimmyshowgirlcollective.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or pokie platform and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action, The Shimmy Showgirl Collective may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.
These commissions are typically paid directly by the casino operator and come at no additional cost to you as the player. You will not pay more for a product or service by clicking through one of our affiliate links.
The Shimmy Showgirl Collective maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino and pokie operators that accept Australian players. These partnerships help fund the ongoing operation of this website, including the research, testing, and editorial work required to produce thorough and reliable reviews.
When a commission is earned, it is generated through a tracking link embedded in certain buttons, banners, or text links across the site. The operator's platform logs the referral and attributes any qualifying activity back to this website.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as Australian Consumer Law transparency standards, The Shimmy Showgirl Collective discloses all material connections between this site and any third-party operators, products, or services that are reviewed or recommended here.
Any page on this website that contains affiliate links should be considered to have a potential commercial relationship with the operators featured. This disclosure page serves as a site-wide notice of that relationship.
Despite the affiliate relationships described above, Lachlan Whitfield, the owner and primary reviewer at The Shimmy Showgirl Collective, is firmly committed to editorial independence. Affiliate commissions do not influence which casinos are reviewed, how they are scored, or whether they are recommended to Australian players.
Lachlan's reviews reflect his genuine, independent assessment of each platform. Casinos that fail to meet acceptable standards for Australian players will receive honest criticism, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement exists. Not every operator reviewed on this site carries an affiliate link, and affiliate relationships do not guarantee a positive review outcome.
Every online pokie site and casino reviewed on theshimmyshowgirlcollective.com is evaluated using a consistent, structured methodology. Key areas assessed include:
Lachlan Whitfield brings years of hands-on experience researching and testing online gambling platforms for the Australian market. His evaluations are based on real platform testing, analysis of user feedback, and up-to-date knowledge of the Australian online gambling landscape as it stands in 2026.
If you have any questions about how affiliate relationships work on this site or wish to understand more about our editorial process, you are welcome to get in touch directly through the contact page at theshimmyshowgirlcollective.com. Lachlan Whitfield is happy to address any concerns about transparency or editorial integrity.
