4. Disclaimer
The information provided on austurtle.org.au, including but not limited to reviews, guides, comparisons, and descriptions of gaming platforms, is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis.

5. Affiliate Relationship
austurtle.org.au is an affiliate website. We may earn commissions, referral fees, or other compensation from gambling operators and platforms that we recommend, review, or link to on our Site. This affiliate relationship may create a financial incentive for us to recommend certain operators over others.
Our affiliate relationships do not influence the integrity of our reviews and recommendations, but users should be aware of these financial arrangements. All recommendations are provided in good faith based on our assessment, but users should conduct their own due diligence before engaging with any operator.
We disclose our affiliate status transparently, and all sponsored content, affiliate links, and promotional offers are clearly marked where required by law.
