Last updated: January 2026. This page explains how Scooti (scooti.com.au) earns revenue, how that commercial relationship works, and why it never influences the honesty of our casino and pokie reviews. Please read this disclosure carefully before using any recommendations or links found on this site.
Scooti is an independent Australian gambling review website owned and operated by James Wilson. The site focuses exclusively on reviewing and recommending PayID pokies and online casinos available to Australian players. James Wilson personally researches, tests, and writes every review published on this site.
Some of the links on scooti.com.au are affiliate links. An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies Scooti as the referring website when you click through to an online casino or gambling operator. These links look and behave exactly like regular links — clicking one costs you nothing extra and does not change the bonus offers or terms available to you as a player.
When you click an affiliate link on Scooti and subsequently sign up or make a deposit at an online casino, Scooti may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission is paid by the operator, not by you.
Scooti earns revenue through affiliate marketing partnerships with licensed online casino and gambling operators. The most common commission structures include:
Not every casino or operator listed on Scooti has an active affiliate agreement with us. Some sites are included in our content purely on editorial merit, with no financial relationship in place.
No. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence whether a casino receives a positive or negative review on Scooti. James Wilson evaluates every platform using a consistent, objective methodology regardless of any commercial arrangement. Casinos with affiliate agreements are held to exactly the same standards as those without.
Scooti has turned down affiliate partnerships with operators that failed to meet our quality benchmarks. A commission opportunity will never cause us to recommend a platform that we would not genuinely use ourselves.
Every review published on scooti.com.au is produced through a structured evaluation process. James Wilson assesses each operator across the following criteria:
James Wilson has worked in the Australian online gambling content space since 2019 and maintains full editorial control over every piece of content published on Scooti. No casino operator, affiliate network, or third party has the ability to approve, alter, or remove a review before or after publication. Ratings and recommendations are determined solely by the evaluation criteria above.
Gambling involves financial risk. The reviews and recommendations on Scooti are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial or gambling advice. Always gamble responsibly, and if you need support, contact the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au.
