Last updated: 7 May 2026
Welcome to NZ Pokies Guide. By accessing and using thewildeflorist.co.nz ("the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the Site. We recommend reading these terms in full before continuing to use our services.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to access and use this Site. By using the Site, you confirm that you are 18 or older and that you are legally permitted to access gambling-related content in your jurisdiction.
Online gambling laws vary by country, territory, and region. It is solely your responsibility to determine whether accessing this Site and the third-party casino sites we link to is lawful in your location. NZ Pokies Guide does not provide legal advice and makes no representations regarding the legality of online gambling in any specific jurisdiction.
2. Informational Purpose Only
All content on this Site — including reviews, ratings, rankings, bonus comparisons, and editorial articles — is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. NZ Pokies Guide does not operate an online casino, accept wagers, or process any gambling transactions.
Our content represents the opinions and findings of our editorial team based on our independent review methodology. Nothing on this Site should be construed as financial advice, legal advice, or a guarantee of any particular outcome at a third-party casino. Always gamble responsibly and within your means.
3. Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Disclosure
This Site contains affiliate links to third-party online casino operators. When you click an affiliate link on our Site and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or take other qualifying actions at a casino, we may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.
Important points about our affiliate relationships:
- Clicking an affiliate link does not cost you anything extra — you receive the same terms, bonuses, and pricing as any other player
- Our editorial ratings and rankings are determined independently of our commercial relationships. Affiliate commissions do not influence our review scores
- We have declined and removed affiliate partnerships with operators that failed to meet our editorial standards (3 declined and 1 removed in the 12 months ending May 2026)
- Affiliate revenue supports the operation of this Site, allowing us to continue providing free, independent reviews
Affiliate revenue transparency. Typical affiliate compensation is either a one-time CPA (cost-per-acquisition) of NZ$80–NZ$300 per qualified NZ depositor, a revenue-share of 25–40% of operator's net gaming revenue from referred players, or a hybrid combining both. Specific arrangements vary per operator. Our published rankings are not weighted by commission rate — the Kiwi Trust Score is computed independently of any commercial term, and our editorial ranking is reviewed quarterly by Emma Whitfield against the same criteria for every operator. From Q1 2027, when DIA-licensed NZ online operators go live under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2025, affiliate marketing of NZ-licensed operators will be prohibited under the Act; we will operate strictly editorial-only coverage of any DIA-licensed operator from that point.
4. Accuracy of Information & Corrections / Retractions
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that all information published on this Site is accurate, current, and complete at the time of publication. However, the online casino industry is dynamic — bonus offers, terms and conditions, game libraries, payment methods, and licensing statuses can change at any time without notice to us.
We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of all information at all times. Before making any decisions based on our content (including registering at a casino or accepting a bonus), you should always verify the current terms and conditions directly with the casino operator.
Editorial corrections and retractions. If you spot a factual error in any review or guide on this site, please email [email protected]. Our process:
- Acknowledgement within 2 business days.
- Material correction within 5 business days for verified errors.
- Public note on the corrected page with the date and a one-line description.
- Substantial revisions trigger a refreshed
dateModifiedin the page schema and a fresh fact-check pass by Emma Whitfield. - Retractions (where a review is withdrawn rather than corrected) are published with a clear retraction notice replacing the original content; the retraction remains in place permanently. We have not retracted any review on this Site to date.
NZ Pokies Guide is not responsible for any discrepancies between our content and a casino's current offerings — but we will fix verified errors within the SLAs above.
5. Responsible Gambling
Gambling involves financial risk and can be addictive. NZ Pokies Guide strongly encourages all readers to gamble responsibly. Please consider the following:
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose
- Set deposit and loss limits before you start playing
- Take regular breaks and do not chase losses
- If gambling stops being fun, stop playing and seek help
If you or someone you know is experiencing problems with gambling, please contact the NZ Gambling Helpline at 0800 654 655 (free, confidential, available 24/7). For more resources and information, visit our Responsible Gambling page.
