Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

At Skillville JC (www.skillvillejc.com), owned and operated by Patrick O'Brien, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Skillville JC includes affiliate links to online casinos and gambling operators reviewed on our website. When you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying action (such as registering a new account or making a deposit), we may earn a commission from the operator at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate commissions are a standard way that review and comparison websites generate revenue. These commissions never increase the price you pay—you receive the same rates and terms as any direct visitor to the casino operator's website.

How Affiliate Links Work

You click an affiliate link on Skillville JC
You are directed to the casino operator's website
If you register and meet qualifying criteria, the operator tracks this referral through our unique affiliate code
Skillville JC receives a commission based on the operator's affiliate program terms
Your experience and any welcome bonuses remain unchanged

We disclose affiliate relationships clearly throughout our website using labels such as "Affiliate Link," "Sponsored," or similar indicators wherever applicable.

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

While Skillville JC benefits financially from affiliate commissions, our reviews remain independent and unbiased. Patrick O'Brien's expert opinions are not influenced by affiliate relationships. This commitment includes:

Honest Assessment: We review all casinos using the same rigorous criteria, whether or not they are affiliate partners
No Pay-for-Placement: A casino's affiliate commission structure does not determine its ranking or review score
Critical Analysis: Negative findings are reported truthfully, even for affiliate partners
Reader-First Approach: Our primary obligation is to provide accurate, helpful information to Australian players

Review Methodology

Patrick O'Brien evaluates each casino based on established criteria including:

Licensing and regulatory compliance (relevant to Australian markets)
Game selection, software quality, and RTP (Return to Player) rates
Welcome bonuses, promotions, and ongoing rewards
Payment methods and withdrawal speed
Customer support responsiveness and quality
Security, encryption, and responsible gambling features
User experience and website functionality
Player feedback and reputation

These criteria are applied consistently across all reviews, regardless of affiliate status.
