PinPokies Editorial Team

PinPokies is run by a small anonymous editorial team. We compare publicly available casino and pokies offer terms so you can see the numbers before you decide anything.

Who we are

We are an anonymous editorial team writing for New Zealand players. We do not publish names, photos or personal bios, and we do not have individual social accounts tied to this site.

Our work is desk research. We read what operators publish, check licence details against public regulator registers, and write up what we find in plain English.

What we do

We compare bonus terms, wagering requirements, maximum cashout caps, minimum deposits, listed payment methods, stated payout windows and the game libraries operators list on their own pages.

We also run public free pokie demos in the browser and use our own bonus calculator to work through what a wagering requirement actually means in practice.

What we do not do

We do not open real-money accounts, deposit, claim bonuses, play at casinos, request withdrawals, time cashouts or contact casino support. We do not run real-money testing of any kind.

Our verdicts are editorial judgements based on published information. They are not the result of personal play, and we publish no numeric scores.

How we keep pages accurate

Bonus terms change often. When an operator updates wagering, caps or payment details, we update the page and note the correction there.

If you spot something out of date, tell us through the contact page and we will check it against the operator's published terms.

How we are funded

PinPokies earns affiliate commission when readers sign up through some links. This funds the site and keeps it free to use.

We do not accept payment to change a review. Commercial relationships do not affect our verdicts, and our affiliate disclosure page sets out how the model works.
