About Us

Who we are and what this site is for

This website is an independent informational review site designed for players in New Zealand. We provide detailed assessments of online casinos, including platforms like Jackpotcity Casino. To be clear, we are not a casino operator. We do not accept bets, manage player accounts, process deposits, or hold player money. Our role is strictly editorial: we research, test, and publish factual reviews to help readers understand the terms, game selections, banking methods, and overall functionality of various gambling sites before they choose to register elsewhere.

Responsible gambling and 18+

Online gambling involves financial risk and should be approached with caution. Visitors to this site must be 18 years of age or older, or meet the legal minimum age requirement for online gambling in their jurisdiction within New Zealand. We strongly encourage all readers to maintain control over their gaming habits by using standard player protection tools provided by operators.

These tools include, but are not limited to:

  • Deposit limits: Setting daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much money can be added to an account.
  • Self-exclusion: Requesting a temporary or permanent block on access to a gambling platform when a break is needed.

If gambling stops being a form of entertainment, we advise seeking support from dedicated assistance organisations.

How to test

Our review process follows a consistent, standardized methodology to evaluate each online casino. We do not rely on promotional material supplied by operators. Instead, our team registers real accounts, deposits our own funds, and tests the platform under everyday conditions.

We examine several core criteria during our evaluation:

  • Licensing and security: Checking the validity of regulatory credentials and the presence of standard data encryption.
  • Banking: Testing the actual speeds, fees, and availability of payment methods for New Zealand dollars.
  • Game variety: Assessing the catalog of pokies, table games, and live dealer options provided by recognized software studios.
  • Customer support: Contacting support channels anonymously to measure response times and helpfulness.
  • Terms and conditions: Reading the fine print attached to promotional offers, wagering requirements, and withdrawal policies.

Affiliate disclosure

To keep this informational website running and accessible without a paywall, we participate in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that if a reader clicks on certain outbound links on our site and subsequently registers an account or deposits funds at a partner casino, we may receive a commission from that operator. This financial arrangement does not influence our editorial assessments, test results, or review scores. Casinos cannot purchase favorable ratings or higher placement on our pages.
