TL;DR: The standard is review-first: compare platform facts, terms and risks internally before any external operator link appears.
What the standard means
The Top Aussie Bets standard is a review-first publishing approach. Platform cards point readers to individual reviews so terms, payments and suitability can be inspected before an operator site is visited.
How listings are maintained
Platform facts are centralized by developers so ratings, logos, bonus notes, payment methods and comparison fields stay consistent across rankings, review pages and comparison tables.
How commercial links are handled
Some outbound links may be affiliate or sponsored links. They are placed after review context and use safer external-link attributes.
Why this matters for readers
Review-first linking reduces blind bonus clicks and makes the decision path easier to audit. Readers can inspect ratings, payments, withdrawal notes, pros, cons and FAQs before leaving the site.
