At Sierranevadahac (sierranevadahac.com), we believe that every Australian player deserves honest, straightforward information before choosing where to play online pokies. Part of being honest with our readers means being completely upfront about how this website operates and how it generates revenue. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how they work, and why they do not compromise the integrity of any review or recommendation published on this site.
An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a content publisher — in this case, Sierranevadahac — and an online casino or gaming operator. When you click on certain links on our website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at a recommended casino, we may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you. You pay exactly the same amount you would pay if you visited that casino directly, without going through our site.
These types of arrangements are standard practice across the online publishing industry and allow independent review websites like ours to fund the ongoing research, testing, and content creation that our readers rely on.
Some of the links you find on sierranevadahac.com are affiliate links. When you click one of these links, a small piece of tracking data — typically a cookie — is stored in your browser. This allows the casino operator to identify that you arrived via our referral, so that any applicable commission can be attributed to Sierranevadahac. Key points to understand:
The existence of affiliate relationships does absolutely not influence the editorial content published on Sierranevadahac. Every review, rating, comparison, and recommendation is produced independently, based solely on research and objective evaluation criteria. Casinos are never paid to receive positive coverage, and no operator can purchase a higher rating or a featured recommendation on this site.
Sarah Mitchell, the owner and lead reviewer at Sierranevadahac, maintains full editorial control over all content published here. Sarah's assessments reflect her genuine findings, and negative aspects of any platform are reported clearly and honestly — regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists with that operator.
To ensure that every recommendation on Sierranevadahac is trustworthy, Sarah Mitchell applies a consistent, structured methodology when evaluating online pokies platforms. Assessment criteria include:
Sarah Mitchell has spent years researching and analysing the Australian online gaming landscape, developing specialised knowledge of pokie mechanics, casino operations, and player rights. Her reviews are grounded in thorough, hands-on testing and a genuine commitment to helping Australian players make informed decisions. Her affiliate relationships with operators do not shape her conclusions — her readers' trust does.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, how we earn revenue, or how our review process works, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can contact Sarah Mitchell directly through the contact page on sierranevadahac.com. We are happy to provide clarification on any aspect of our disclosure practices.
