Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

Trading Safely (www.trading-safely.com) is committed to transparency and honesty in all our reviews and recommendations. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.

What This Website Does

Trading Safely provides independent reviews and recommendations for PayID casinos and online gambling operators available to Australian players. Our mission is to help you make informed decisions about which platforms to trust with your money.

Our Affiliate Relationships

Trading Safely may earn affiliate commissions when you click certain links on our website and complete a registration or deposit with a casino operator. This means that if you visit an online casino through one of our referral links and create an account, we may receive a financial commission from that operator.

How Affiliate Links Work

• When you click a link to a casino from Trading Safely, you are directed to that operator's website
• If you register and deposit, the casino operator tracks this referral using a unique code
• Trading Safely receives a commission based on your activity
• You pay nothing extra — your costs remain exactly the same
• Your affiliate relationship with us does not affect the terms, bonuses, or pricing you receive from the casino

Affiliate Relationships Do Not Influence Our Reviews

Mitchell Hargrove, the author and owner of Trading Safely, maintains complete editorial independence. Our reviews are based solely on thorough testing, research, and objective evaluation — not on commission potential.

Here is what this means in practice:

• We review casinos objectively, regardless of commission rates or affiliate terms
• We may recommend operators that offer lower commissions if they provide better value to players
• We may criticize operators we have affiliate relationships with if they fail to meet our standards
• We may decline affiliate partnerships with casinos we believe are unsafe or unreliable
• Our star ratings, pros and cons lists, and safety assessments are independent of commission structures

Our Review Methodology

Each casino review on Trading Safely follows a rigorous, consistent methodology:

• Licensing Verification: We confirm current, valid gambling licenses and regulatory compliance
• Security Testing: We assess SSL encryption, data protection measures, and fraud prevention systems
• Game Selection: We evaluate software providers, game variety, and fairness certifications
• PayID Integration: We verify payment method functionality, processing times, and transaction security
• Bonus Terms: We analyse promotional offers, wagering requirements, and terms fairness
• Customer Support: We test response times, knowledge, and professionalism of support teams
• User Experience: We assess website design, mobile compatibility, and account navigation

This methodology is applied equally to all operators, whether or not we have affiliate relationships with them.

Mitchell Hargrove's Expertise

Mitchell Hargrove has spent years researching the Australian online gambling industry, PayID casino platforms, and player protection measures. This expertise allows us to provide informed, credible reviews that you can rely on.

Our commitment to accuracy and objectivity is our most valuable asset. We would damage our reputation far more severely by compromising our standards than by earning an extra commission from a single affiliate relationship.

Transparency Statement

We believe you have the right to know how we earn money. By disclosing our affiliate relationships openly, we demonstrate our commitment to honest communication. We encourage you to:

• Read our full reviews before trusting any single recommendation
• Compare multiple sources before making decisions
• Contact us with questions or concerns about any review
• Report any inaccuracies you discover
