When a review becomes an advertisement

Why branding, calls to play and access links can turn editorial presentation into prohibited promotion.

Direct answer

ACMA research describes affiliates as services that market and direct consumers to operators. Enforcement has treated branding images, listings and links as relevant advertising evidence.

What this does not prove

A provider name, overseas licence or unblocked domain does not establish Australian authority for an online casino. An entry on the licensed wagering register applies to that regulated wagering service and cannot be stretched to a prohibited product.
