At Newnrml (newnrml.com), we believe that honesty with our readers is non-negotiable. This page explains exactly how our site generates revenue, how that revenue model works, and why it does not influence the editorial content you read. Please take a few minutes to understand how we operate before using our recommendations.
Some of the links on newnrml.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an online casino or pokies operator and subsequently sign up or make a deposit, Newnrml may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you. You will never pay more for a product or service by clicking through one of our links.
Affiliate links function as a standard digital referral arrangement. The casino operator tracks visits from our site using a unique tracking code embedded in the link. If you complete a qualifying action — such as registering an account or depositing funds — the operator records that referral and compensates Newnrml accordingly. This is a widely used and legally recognised commercial practice across the online publishing industry.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with Australian Consumer Law principles around honest commercial conduct, Newnrml clearly discloses all material connections between this site and the operators reviewed or recommended here. This disclosure page, combined with notices placed near relevant content throughout the site, satisfies our obligation to inform readers of any financial relationships that may exist.
The existence of affiliate relationships does absolutely no influence on the scores, rankings, or written assessments produced by Lachlan Whitfield, the owner, author, and lead reviewer at Newnrml. Affiliate commissions are never used as a basis for recommending a casino. Operators are not able to pay for placement in rankings, purchase a higher star rating, or otherwise influence editorial outcomes.
Lachlan Whitfield's reviews are conducted independently. An operator's willingness — or unwillingness — to enter an affiliate arrangement has no bearing on whether it is reviewed, how it is scored, or where it appears in any list or comparison.
Every casino and pokies platform assessed on Newnrml goes through a consistent, structured evaluation process. The key criteria applied to every review include:
Lachlan Whitfield brings direct, hands-on experience with online pokies and the Australian gambling market to every review published on this site. Assessments are based on genuine testing, verified data, and ongoing monitoring of operator behaviour — not on commercial incentives.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, our review process, or how this site operates commercially, you are welcome to reach out directly. Contact details are available on the Contact page at newnrml.com. We are committed to answering reader questions openly and promptly.
