Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026. This page explains how Wildstylemedia.net (operated by Lachlan Whitmore under the Ildstylemedia brand) earns revenue and how that revenue relationship affects — or more accurately, does not affect — the reviews and recommendations published on this site.

Who We Are

Ildstylemedia is an independent Australian gambling review publication operating at wildstylemedia.net. The site is owned, operated, and authored by Lachlan Whitmore, who researches, tests, and writes all primary content focused on PayID pokies sites available to Australian players. Lachlan has spent considerable time hands-on testing deposit and withdrawal processes, game libraries, bonus terms, and customer support standards across dozens of online casino operators to provide accurate, practical guidance for Australian players.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a content publisher (Ildstylemedia) and an online casino operator. When a reader clicks a link on this website and subsequently registers an account or makes a deposit with a casino operator, Ildstylemedia may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you pay nothing extra, and your deposit amounts, bonus offers, and player experience are entirely unaffected by whether you arrived via our link or navigated to the casino directly.

This type of commercial arrangement is standard practice across online publishing and allows websites like this one to fund the ongoing research, testing, and operational costs required to produce detailed, useful content.

Our Compliance with FTC Guidelines

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, Ildstylemedia is required to clearly and conspicuously disclose any material connection between this website and the operators reviewed or recommended here. We take this obligation seriously. You should assume that any link to an online casino operator on this website may be an affiliate link through which Ildstylemedia may earn a commission.

How This Affects Our Reviews

It doesn't — and here is why that claim is credible:

Independent testing process: Every casino reviewed on Wildstylemedia.net is evaluated through a consistent methodology that includes personally testing PayID deposit speeds, withdrawal processing times, game availability, mobile compatibility, bonus wagering requirements, and customer support responsiveness.
Negative reviews are published: Operators that perform poorly receive honest criticism regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists. A commission opportunity does not guarantee a positive review.
No operator influence over content: Casino operators reviewed on this site have no editorial input, no right of approval, and no ability to alter, remove, or adjust published review scores or commentary.
Recommendations reflect testing outcomes: Sites that appear in recommended lists are there because they performed well during Lachlan Whitmore's direct testing — not because of the size of a commission payment.
Affiliate relationships are not a requirement for coverage: Ildstylemedia may review operators with whom no affiliate agreement exists if those operators are relevant and useful to Australian PayID pokies players.

Lachlan Whitmore's Editorial Standards

Lachlan Whitmore applies a structured, criteria-based review framework to every operator assessed on this site. Evaluation factors include PayID transaction reliability, licensing and regulatory standing, responsible gambling tools, game software providers, and the clarity of bonus terms and conditions. These criteria are applied uniformly across all operators, whether or not a commercial relationship exists.

Maintaining reader trust is the foundation of this publication's long-term value. A recommendation that misleads an Australian player damages that trust permanently. Commercial relationships are therefore managed carefully to ensure they never compromise the integrity of the information published here.
