At Pggaragemelb (pggaragemelb.com), we want to be upfront with you from the start: some of the links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and sign up or deposit at a casino we recommend. This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you — you pay the same whether you use our link or type the casino address directly into your browser. This disclosure exists because we believe you deserve to know exactly how this site works before you act on anything we write.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino operator you arrived via pggaragemelb.com. When you use one of those links, the operator's system records the referral. If you then create an account or make a deposit, the operator pays us a referral fee from their own marketing budget — not from your funds. This is a standard, widely used model across comparison and review websites in Australia and around the world. It allows us to keep the content on pggaragemelb.com free for every visitor.
How We Earn
The table below breaks down the most common ways a commission can be generated when you interact with links on pggaragemelb.com. Notice that the cost to you is the same in every scenario: nothing.

How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it doesn't — and it shouldn't. Rankings and recommendations on pggaragemelb.com are not for sale. No casino operator can pay us to receive a higher star rating, a more favourable review, or a top position in any list we publish. Every score you see reflects what our team actually found when evaluating that platform.
We apply the same criteria to every site we review, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement exists. If a casino has slow withdrawals, confusing bonus terms, or poor customer support, we say so clearly. A commercial relationship with an operator will never cause us to hide a genuine flaw or inflate a rating.
Our Review Methodology
When assessing any casino featured on pggaragemelb.com, our team examines the following core areas:
- Licensing and regulation — valid licence from a recognised authority and compliance with Australian player-safety expectations
- Bonuses and promotions — fairness of welcome offers, wagering requirements, and ongoing rewards
- Games and software — quality of pokie titles, table games, and the reputation of the studios supplying them
- Payment options — range of deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, and any associated fees
- Customer support — availability, response speed, and the helpfulness of the support team
