How Kick fits into the Australian cashback industry
Cashback in Australia has been around for over a decade, with several major platforms operating in the market. Kick partners with the same licensed affiliate networks (Awin, Commission Factory, Impact, Rakuten, Partnerize) that publishers like Cashrewards, ShopBack and TopCashback use. The retailer pays a commission to the network, the network pays Kick, and Kick passes most of that commission back to you as cashback. There's no novel financial product here — it's standard performance-marketing.
What regulations apply to Kick

Our Experience
We are a first-party cashback platform — we work directly with retailers rather than reselling another company's network. Our team negotiates cashback rates, manages partner relationships, and processes payments in-house. According to industry data published by IAB Australia, affiliate and cashback marketing represented over $1 billion in tracked Australian retail sales in 2024 (source: IAB Australia Online Advertising Expenditure Report). Kick Cashback is part of this growing sector and is committed to passing the majority of retailer commissions back to shoppers as cashback.
Our editorial team draws on direct experience working with major Australian retailers and global affiliate networks. We publish detailed cashback information, retailer terms, and shopping guides based on first-hand knowledge of how cashback tracking, attribution, and payments work. Where industry standards or regulatory guidance applies — such as the Australian Consumer Law administered by the ACCC, or the Privacy Act 1988 administered by the OAIC — we cite the relevant source so readers can verify our claims.
