Last updated: January 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on Cval (cval.com.au), a website dedicated to reviewing and comparing PayID pokies casinos for Australian players.
Cval maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino operators featured across this website. This means that when you click certain links on cval.com.au and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at a casino, Cval may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes at no additional cost to you as the player.
These affiliate relationships are the primary way Cval generates revenue to fund ongoing research, testing, and publishing of casino reviews for the Australian market.

Not every link on cval.com.au is an affiliate link. Some casinos are listed purely for informational or comparative purposes without any commercial arrangement in place.
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the content, ratings, or recommendations published on this website. All reviews and comparisons are written and edited by James Wilson, the owner and lead reviewer at Cval, who maintains full editorial control over every piece of content published.
Casinos are assessed and ranked according to a consistent methodology. A casino that pays a higher commission rate does not receive a higher rating as a result. Similarly, casinos with which Cval has no commercial relationship are evaluated on the same basis as those that do.
James Wilson evaluates each PayID pokie casino using a structured, criteria-based approach developed through years of hands-on experience with the Australian online gambling market. Each review covers:
Where possible, James Wilson tests casinos using real deposits to provide accurate, firsthand assessments rather than relying solely on publicly available information.

Cval encourages all readers to conduct their own research before registering with any online casino. Affiliate commissions are disclosed openly so you can factor this information into how you use our content. If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how a specific review was conducted, you are welcome to contact us directly through the website.
