About NZ Pokies

Our Mission

Since our founding in 2019, NZ Pokies has been committed to one simple goal: helping Kiwi players make informed decisions about where and what to play online. We understand that navigating the vast world of online gambling can be overwhelming, with hundreds of casinos vying for your attention and thousands of pokies to choose from.

That's where we come in. Our team of experienced gambling journalists, former casino industry professionals, and data analysts work together to thoroughly test and review every aspect of online casinos. From game selection and bonus terms to withdrawal speeds and customer support quality, we leave no stone unturned in our quest to provide you with accurate, trustworthy information.

Our Review Process

Every casino and pokie review on NZ Pokies follows a rigorous methodology developed over years of industry experience. We don't rely on promotional materials or press releases. Instead, our reviewers create real accounts, make real deposits, and play real games to experience exactly what you would as a player.

We evaluate casinos on multiple criteria including licensing and security credentials, game variety and software quality, bonus terms and wagering requirements, payment processing speeds, mobile compatibility, and customer support responsiveness. Only casinos that meet our strict standards earn a recommendation on our site.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial partnerships. While we do earn commissions when readers sign up at casinos through our links, this never influences our ratings or reviews. We have declined partnerships with casinos that didn't meet our standards, and we're not afraid to publish critical reviews when warranted.

Transparency is fundamental to everything we do. We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships and explain how our review process works. Our readers deserve to know that the information they're getting is honest and unbiased.

Commitment to Responsible Gambling

We take responsible gambling seriously. Every review includes information about a casino's responsible gambling tools, and we actively promote resources like the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand. Gambling should be entertainment, never a source of financial stress or harm.

Get in Touch

We value feedback from our readers. Whether you have questions about a review, suggestions for improvement, or just want to say hello, we'd love to hear from you.
