Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026. This page explains how Grandcanyon Rentals (grandcanyon-rentals.com) earns revenue, how that revenue model works, and why it does not influence the integrity of the reviews and recommendations published on this site. Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or relying on any content found here.

Who We Are

Grandcanyon Rentals is an independent online pokies review website owned and operated by Michael O'Brien, based in Australia. The site exists to help Australian players make informed decisions about online casino platforms by providing honest, thoroughly researched reviews and recommendations of the best online pokies available to AU players.

Our Affiliate Relationships

Grandcanyon Rentals participates in affiliate marketing programs with a number of online casino and pokies operators. This means that when you click certain links on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit with a casino operator, grandcanyon-rentals.com may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.

These affiliate relationships are standard practice across the online gambling review industry and represent the primary way this website is funded. Without this revenue, we would be unable to maintain and update the quality content we provide free of charge to our readers.

How Affiliate Links Work

Affiliate links are specially tracked hyperlinks that identify grandcanyon-rentals.com as the referring source when a user visits a casino operator's website. Here is what you need to understand about how they function:

Clicking an affiliate link does not cost you anything extra. Prices, bonuses, and terms offered to you remain identical to those available to any other visitor.
Commissions are paid to us by the operator, not deducted from your deposits or winnings.
Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. Some links are included purely for informational purposes.
Affiliate links are used only for operators that meet our minimum standards for licensing, player safety, and fair gaming practices.

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

The existence of an affiliate relationship with an operator does not guarantee that operator a positive review on this website. Michael O'Brien maintains complete editorial independence and reserves the right to publish negative reviews, critical assessments, and low ratings for any operator, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement is in place.

Our review process is designed to protect readers first. If a casino fails to meet acceptable standards, it will be rated accordingly and any recommendation may be withdrawn entirely. We have declined and terminated affiliate arrangements with operators we considered unsuitable for our Australian audience.

Our Review Methodology

Every pokies platform reviewed on Grandcanyon Rentals is evaluated using a consistent, multi-point methodology. Key factors assessed include:

Licensing and regulation — operators must hold a valid licence from a recognised authority
Game library quality — variety, software providers, and return-to-player (RTP) figures
Bonus terms and fairness — wagering requirements, caps, and overall value for AU players
Banking options — availability of AUD accounts, deposit and withdrawal speed
Customer support — responsiveness, availability, and helpfulness
Responsible gambling tools — self-exclusion, deposit limits, and player protection features

Michael O'Brien's Expertise

Michael O'Brien brings years of hands-on experience testing and evaluating online pokies platforms across the Australian market. His assessments are based on direct testing, player feedback analysis, and ongoing monitoring of operator behaviour. Michael's commitment is to the reader, not to the operator, and all published opinions reflect that priority without exception.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the guidelines of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials, as well as applicable Australian consumer transparency standards. We are committed to being fully transparent about our commercial relationships so that you can make informed decisions about the content you read on this site.
