Affiliate Disclosure

PinPokies.com is an affiliate marketing website. This page explains what that means and how it affects the content we publish.

How we make money

When a reader clicks a casino link on this site and creates a real-money account, we may receive a commission from the casino operator. This is called an affiliate referral fee. It does not cost you anything — the commission comes from the casino's marketing budget, not from your deposit.

Does this affect our reviews?

No. Our editorial ratings are based on a fixed scoring methodology (see Why Trust Us). We rate casinos with affiliate deals the same way we rate those we have no commercial relationship with. We regularly publish low ratings for casinos that pay us affiliate fees when we find genuine problems.

Which links are affiliate links?

Any link to an external casino site (typically a "Claim bonus" button or a casino name link) may be an affiliate link. These are routed through our /go/ redirect path and marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" to comply with search engine guidelines.

Regulatory context

New Zealand's Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 establishes a licensing framework administered by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA). Casinos listed on this site may or may not hold a New Zealand-specific licence while the framework is established. We note each casino's current licensing status in its review. "Available to NZ players" means the operator accepts NZ residents — it does not mean the operator holds a New Zealand DIA licence.

We are not a gambling operator. PinPokies.com does not offer gambling, accept deposits or hold player funds — we review and compare casinos operated by third parties. See our terms & conditions.
