Los Palominos (los-palominos.site) is supported by affiliate partnerships with some of the online casino operators we review and recommend. This means that when you click certain links on our site and go on to register or deposit at a casino, we may receive a commission from that operator. We want to be completely upfront about this: you never pay more because of these links — the cost to you is always zero, and any bonus or offer you see is the same whether you arrive through us or go directly to the casino.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino operator you arrived from los-palominos.site. When you click one of these links, a small cookie may be stored in your browser so the operator can record the referral. If you then sign up and start playing, the casino pays us a fee — this comes entirely from the operator's marketing budget, not from your pocket. Affiliate arrangements are a standard and widely accepted way for review and comparison websites to fund their operations without charging readers.
How We Earn
The table below breaks down the most common actions and explains exactly who pays and what it costs you.
| Action | Who Pays the Commission | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review link on los-palominos.site | Nobody — no commission is triggered yet | None |
| You create a new account at the casino | The casino operator (from their marketing budget) | AUD $0 |
| You make a real-money deposit and play | The casino operator (revenue-share or CPA model) | AUD $0 |
| You claim a welcome bonus through our link | The casino operator — the bonus value is unchanged | AUD $0 |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it doesn't — and here's why you can trust that. At Los Palominos, editorial decisions are made independently of commercial relationships. We do not accept payment from operators in exchange for higher ratings, a top-three ranking, or a "recommended" badge. If a casino we have an affiliate deal with scores poorly on safety, fairness, or player experience, that poor score is published regardless. Operators cannot purchase a favourable review on los-palominos.site. We also review casinos with which we have no affiliate relationship at all, because our goal is to give Australian players an honest, complete picture of what The Ville and similar venues offer online.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino assessed on los-palominos.site is evaluated against a consistent set of criteria, including:
- Licensing and regulation — valid Australian or internationally recognised licences, responsible gambling tools
- Bonuses and promotions — fairness of wagering requirements, expiry conditions, and overall value
- Game selection — variety, software providers, RTP transparency, and mobile compatibility
- Banking options — deposit and withdrawal methods available to Australian players, processing times, and fees
- Customer support — availability, response times, and quality of assistance
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and equivalent Australian consumer transparency standards, los-palominos.site discloses that it maintains material financial relationships with certain casino operators featured on this site. Any page containing affiliate links is covered by this disclosure. We believe readers have the right to know how a site makes money before acting on its recommendations.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are always free to open a new browser tab and visit any casino operator's website directly, without going through los-palominos.site. Our reviews and information remain available to you regardless of how you choose to reach the casinos we cover. We include links as a convenience, not a requirement.
