Do Australian partners work with Curacao Casino
Affiliate programs (affiliate marketing) are a key channel for attracting players for online casinos, including operators licensed by Curacao. It is important for Australian webmasters and iGaming companies to understand how such collaborations are legal, profitable and safe.
1. Legal status in Australia
The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 prohibits online casino services from being offered to Australian players without a local license.
Advertising for foreign casinos, including Curaçao, also falls into the grey area - it is not formally allowed for Australian audiences.
Some affiliates work with offshore brands, targeting users outside of AU or using content for SEO in other countries.
2. Partner payment models
Revenue Share - percentage of net casino revenue (20-50%).
CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) - a fixed amount for each new deposit player.
Hybrid is a combination of Revenue Share and CPA.
Curaçao casinos often have more flexible terms and fewer traffic restrictions than operators licensed by the MGA or UKGC.
3. Benefits of collaboration
High percentage of Revenue Share payouts.
More loyal conditions for new partners.
The ability to work with different geo without complex verification by the operator.
4. Risks and limitations
Legal - potential liability for promoting offshore gambling in AU.
Financial - the risk of delays or non-payment by unscrupulous operators.
Reputational - working with brands that have negative reviews or controversial practices.
Difficulty in attracting organic traffic to AU due to restrictions in Google Ads and social networks.
5. What to look for when choosing a partner
Brand reputation and feedback from other affiliates.
Terms of the contract (minimum payout, deductions, penalties).
Transparency of statistics and the presence of real tracking.
Payment guarantees and support in English.

Conclusion:
- Australian partners can work with Curacao casinos, but more often do so by targeting foreign markets to reduce legal risks. The potential profit is higher than that of some regulated sites, but is accompanied by serious legal and reputational challenges. The choice in favor of such programs requires a careful assessment of the conditions and readiness to work in the legal "half" field.
