We believe in being upfront with you. Some of the casino links you'll find on funkytaco.online are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and take certain actions — such as registering an account or making a deposit. This commission comes entirely from the casino operator, not from you. You never pay a single cent more by using our links, and your experience at the casino is exactly the same as if you'd navigated there directly.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino operator you arrived via Funkytaco. When you click one of these links, a small piece of data (usually a cookie) is stored in your browser so the operator can attribute your visit to us. If you go on to register or deposit, the operator shares a portion of their revenue with us as a referral fee. This is a standard, widely used practice across the online publishing industry — it's how many free-to-read review sites stay in operation. Think of it like a finder's fee paid by the business, not the customer.

How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer: it doesn't. Rankings and recommendations on Funkytaco are never for sale. A casino cannot pay us to receive a higher score, a better placement, or a more favourable write-up. We assess every operator on its own merits using a consistent set of criteria (see below), and if a casino doesn't meet our standards, we say so — regardless of whether we have an affiliate agreement with them or not.
We also review and recommend casinos that we do not have commercial relationships with, simply because we think Australian players should know about them. Our goal is to be the most honest Vegas casino guide for AU players in 2026, and that goal only works if you can trust what you read here.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino featured on funkytaco.online is evaluated against the following criteria before we publish a review or recommendation:
- Licensing & Safety — valid licence from a recognised regulatory authority and responsible gambling tools
- Bonuses & Promotions — welcome offers, ongoing promos, and the fairness of attached wagering requirements
- Games & Software — variety and quality of pokies, table games, and live dealer titles from reputable providers
- Banking & Payouts — available deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, and any fees charged
- Customer Support — responsiveness, availability, and quality of the support team
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the FTC's Endorsement Guides and applicable Australian consumer transparency expectations, Funkytaco discloses that this website contains affiliate links and that we receive compensation from casino operators when readers complete qualifying actions. This disclosure is provided so you can factor our commercial relationships into how you interpret the content on this site. We are committed to honest, balanced reporting at all times.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are always free to visit any casino operator directly by typing their address into your browser — you won't be disadvantaged in any way, and you'll receive the same promotions and service regardless. We simply appreciate it when you do use our links, as it helps keep funkytaco.online running and the reviews coming.
