Carmadclub.com is a free resource that helps Australian players find honest, up-to-date reviews and recommendations for Casino Mate and similar online casinos. To keep this site running without charging you a cent, some of the links on carmadclub.com are affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission when you click through and take certain actions — such as registering an account or making a deposit — at a recommended casino. This never costs you anything extra. You pay exactly the same as you would if you visited the casino directly.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a tracked URL that tells a casino operator which website sent a visitor their way. When you click a link on carmadclub.com and then sign up or deposit at a casino, the operator records that referral and pays us a small fee or a share of revenue. This is a standard and widely used arrangement across the online publishing industry. The link works identically to a normal link — it simply carries a tracking code in the background. You are never redirected to a different destination, and no personal data is shared with us through the click itself.
How We Earn
The table below breaks down the typical actions that generate a commission for carmadclub.com, who pays that commission, and what it costs you as the player.

How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it does not. Rankings and editorial scores at carmadclub.com are not for sale. No casino operator can pay to appear higher in our lists, receive a more favourable review, or have negative findings removed. Our team assesses every casino on its own merits, and we will publish critical findings — including licensing concerns, slow withdrawals, or poor customer service — even when we hold an active affiliate agreement with that operator. If a casino fails to meet a reasonable standard, we say so clearly. Our readers' trust matters far more to us than any single commission.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino reviewed on carmadclub.com is evaluated against a consistent set of criteria, including:
- Licensing and regulation — valid licence from a recognised authority such as the Malta Gaming Authority or equivalent

- Game library — pokies selection, table games, live dealer options, and software providers
- Banking and payments — available deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, and fee transparency
- Customer support — availability, response speed, and quality of assistance
- Mobile experience — usability on smartphones and tablets for Australian players in 2026
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with Australian Consumer Law principles around transparency, carmadclub.com discloses all material connections to casino operators. Where an affiliate relationship exists, it is disclosed clearly on the relevant page. This disclosure page forms part of that commitment. We update our affiliate relationships regularly and will reflect any changes here.
Your Choice
Using our links is entirely optional. If you prefer, you are always free to visit Casino Mate or any other operator directly by typing their address into your browser. You will still find the same games and the same promotions. We simply ask that if you find our reviews helpful, you consider using our links — it is the most direct way to support the work we put into carmadclub.com at no cost to you.
