How we review casinos

For us, it is important that all online casinos and betting companies we recommend living up to a certain standard. We always go for a series of parameters that should be met before we review and choose to highlight an online casino. That's a lot of money we make at casinos and there are certain points we always review a little extra before a publication of a new casino or a review on our website.

The first thing we look at is whether the casino has a New Zealand gaming license and thus adheres to the 's set rules on how the company should be managed. Next, we check how big the bonus is and what it has for wagering requirements, the size of the game selection, customer service opening hours and how fast payment methods the casino can offer.

At the time of writing, We cooperate with about 100 bookmakers with a New Zealand license . In all our reviews you will find both detailed information and our own ratings . Click here to read more about how we review casinos .
