Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
PremiumPokiesNZ.com ("we," "us," or "our") is an independent review and comparison website focused on online pokies and casino sites available to players in New Zealand. Transparency matters to us, so this page explains exactly how our site is funded and what that means for you as a reader.
We Earn Affiliate Commissions
PremiumPokiesNZ.com participates in affiliate marketing programmes operated by online casinos and gaming operators. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or play at a partner casino, we may receive a commission from that operator at no additional cost to you.
These commissions are how we keep this website running. They allow us to research, test, and review online pokies and casinos in depth, and to provide all of our content to readers free of charge.
Commissions Do Not Influence Our Reviews or Rankings
Our editorial content is created independently of our commercial relationships. Specifically:
- Affiliate commissions do not determine which casinos we review, how we score them, or where they appear in our rankings and "top list" pages.
- Our reviews are based on hands-on testing and objective criteria, including game selection, licensing and security, payment methods, payout speed, bonus terms, mobile experience, and customer support.
- We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, and operators cannot pay to alter our ratings or remove legitimate criticism.
- If a casino performs poorly against our criteria, we say so — regardless of any commercial arrangement.
How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
We want you to know when a link may earn us a commission. On PremiumPokiesNZ.com:
- Links to casino operators (including "Play Now," "Visit Casino," and similar call-to-action buttons) are typically affiliate links.
- Affiliate links use the
rel="sponsored"orrel="nofollow"attribute where appropriate, in line with search engine guidelines. - Where a piece of content or placement has been paid for or sponsored by an operator, it will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," or "Partner Content."
New Zealand Compliance Statement
While PremiumPokiesNZ.com is an informational website and not a gambling operator, we are committed to honest and transparent advertising practices consistent with New Zealand standards, including the principles of the Fair Trading Act 1986 and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Code. This means:
- We do not make misleading or deceptive claims about casinos, bonuses, or odds of winning.
- We clearly disclose our commercial relationships with the operators we feature.
- We only promote offshore online casinos that accept New Zealand players, and we encourage readers to verify that any operator holds a valid licence from a recognised regulatory authority.
- We support responsible gambling and provide information about help services available to New Zealanders, such as the Gambling Helpline NZ (0800 654 655).
Your Responsibility as a Reader
The information on PremiumPokiesNZ.com is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or gambling advice. By using this website, you acknowledge and agree that:
- You are solely responsible for ensuring that online gambling is legal for you and that you meet the minimum age requirement (18+ for most forms of gambling in New Zealand; 20+ to enter a land-based casino).
- Bonus offers, promotions, and casino terms change frequently — always read the full terms and conditions on the operator's own website before registering or depositing.
- Gambling involves risk and should be treated as entertainment, not a way to make money. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
- We are not liable for any losses or disputes arising from your dealings with third-party casino operators linked from this site.
