Join Our Buffalo Pokie Affiliate Program
Buffalo AU operates a transparent affiliate partnership model. This page explains how content creators, reviewers, and marketing partners can earn commission by referring Australian players to our recommended casinos.
What We Offer
Buffalo AU is a fan and review hub for the Buffalo pokie game. We help Australian players find safe, reputable online casinos where they can play Buffalo and similar games for real money. Our affiliate model is straightforward: when a player clicks through from our site and deposits at one of Skycrowns, we earn a referral commission. We share a portion of that with our affiliates.
We do not charge players any fee to use our links. Affiliate commissions come from the casino's marketing budget, not from player winnings or deposits.
| Word | Plain meaning |
|---|---|
| Reels | The columns of symbols that spin; a 5x3 game has five columns, three symbols deep. |
| Session bankroll | The amount set aside for one sitting, decided before it starts rather than during it. |
| Pokie | The Australian name for a slot machine, online or on a venue floor. |
Commission Structure
Commission rates vary by partner casino and player jurisdiction. Typical arrangements for AU-focused referrals:
- Revenue share
- 20-35% of net gaming revenue (NGR) from referred players, depending on the partner.
- Flat CPA (cost per acquisition)
- Some partners offer fixed payouts per depositing player (e.g. $50-$150 AUD per new player), with potential bonuses for volume.
- Hybrid models
- Tiered commissions that increase as you hit monthly referral targets.
Exact rates are negotiated per affiliate based on traffic quality, audience size, and promotional channel. We'll provide a detailed rate card and terms sheet during onboarding.

Disclosure & Compliance
All affiliates must clearly disclose their relationship with Buffalo AU and Skycrowns to their audience. In Australia, this is a legal requirement under the AANA Code of Ethics and Australian Consumer Law.
Examples of compliant disclosure:
- "This link is an affiliate link. We earn a commission if you sign up via this link, at no extra cost to you."
- "Affiliate disclosure: Buffalo AU recommends [Casino Name]. We may earn a referral fee."
We provide template disclosure language during onboarding. Failure to disclose can result in immediate termination of your affiliate agreement and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.
