```htmlLast updated: 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on Skientia (skientia.co), authored and operated by Lachlan Mercer.
At Skientia, we believe that honesty is the foundation of every useful review. Australian players deserve to know exactly how this website operates, how it earns revenue, and how that relationship — or lack thereof — influences the casino recommendations and ratings published here. This page explains all of that in plain language.
Some of the links on skientia.co are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link pointing to an online casino operator and subsequently create an account or make a qualifying deposit, Skientia may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you. You will not pay more for a casino product, bonus, or service by arriving through an affiliate link on this site.
Affiliate relationships are a common and legitimate way for independent review websites to generate revenue, allowing us to continue producing free, detailed content for Australian players without charging a subscription fee.
In accordance with the guidelines set out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and consistent with Australian consumer transparency expectations, Skientia discloses all material connections between this website and third-party casino operators. Any page, article, or review that contains affiliate links is covered by this disclosure. By using skientia.co, you acknowledge that affiliate relationships may exist between this site and the casino brands featured.
No. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence, alter, or determine the editorial content, star ratings, or recommendations published on Skientia. Lachlan Mercer evaluates every online casino independently, applying the same objective methodology regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists. Operators cannot pay for a positive review, a higher rating, or a preferred placement in any ranking list on this site.
Some casinos reviewed on Skientia have no affiliate agreement with this website at all. They are included purely because they are relevant to Australian players. This further demonstrates that our editorial decisions are driven by quality and player value, not by commercial incentive.
Every casino review published on skientia.co is researched and written by Lachlan Mercer, an independent gambling content specialist with years of hands-on experience evaluating online casino platforms for the Australian market. The review process examines each operator across the following core criteria:
Ratings are assigned based on weighted scores across these categories. No single factor — including the existence of an affiliate agreement — can override a low score earned elsewhere in the evaluation.
Skientia makes every reasonable effort to keep review information accurate and current. Casino offers, bonus terms, and operator conditions change frequently. We recommend verifying details directly with the casino operator before registering or depositing.
If you have any questions about how Skientia handles affiliate relationships, or if you would like to report inaccurate information, you are welcome to contact Lachlan Mercer directly through the contact page available on skientia.co. Transparency is not a box we tick — it is a standard we hold ourselves to on every page of this site.
