At Chicagoiceworks (chicagoiceworks.com), we believe that every reader deserves to know exactly how this website operates and how it generates revenue. This Affiliate Disclosure page explains the financial relationships we maintain with casino operators, how those relationships work, and — most importantly — how they do not influence the editorial content, ratings, or recommendations published on this site.
This disclosure applies to all content published on chicagoiceworks.com, including casino reviews, PayID pokies guides, comparison tables, and any other pages that contain links to third-party gambling operators. Please read this page carefully before using any links on our site.
Some of the links featured on Chicagoiceworks are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to a casino or gambling operator and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action, Chicagoiceworks may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you will never pay more for a product or service because you arrived via an affiliate link.
Affiliate links are a standard and widely used practice across the online publishing industry. They allow websites like ours to generate revenue and continue producing free, in-depth content for Australian players.
Chicagoiceworks maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of Australian-facing online casino operators that accept PayID as a payment method. These partnerships may include:
We are required to disclose these relationships under guidelines set by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and in accordance with best practices for honest online publishing. Chicagoiceworks complies fully with these requirements.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not determine which casinos are reviewed, how they are scored, or what is written about them. All reviews and recommendations published on Chicagoiceworks are produced independently by Mitchell Hargreaves, the site's owner and lead reviewer.
Mitchell Hargreaves applies a consistent, structured review methodology to every casino evaluated on this site. That methodology includes:
Casinos receive honest scores based on this methodology regardless of whether a commission agreement exists. Operators that perform poorly are rated accordingly, and negative findings are always reported in full.
Mitchell Hargreaves is an Australian gambling content specialist with extensive experience reviewing online casinos for the Australian market. His focus is on fast-payment options — particularly PayID pokies — and he is committed to providing Australian players with accurate, up-to-date, and genuinely useful guidance. Mitchell's reviews reflect his own research and analysis and are never influenced by affiliate fees, operator requests, or promotional considerations.
Chicagoiceworks does not guarantee winnings, outcomes, or the suitability of any casino for your personal circumstances. Gambling carries financial risk. We encourage all readers to gamble responsibly and to make use of the responsible gambling resources available through each operator and through independent organisations such as Gambling Help Online.
