About NZcasinoREV
We are a team of passionate gambling enthusiasts and industry experts dedicated to helping New Zealand players find safe, enjoyable online casino experiences. Our mission is providing honest, comprehensive reviews that empower Kiwis to make informed gambling decisions.
Our Story
NZcasinoREV was founded in 2019 by a group of Auckland-based gaming enthusiasts who recognised the need for trustworthy, New Zealand-focused casino reviews. Having experienced the frustration of misleading information and biased recommendations firsthand, we committed to building a platform that prioritises player interests above all else.
Our founding principle remains unchanged: every review must be honest, thorough, and genuinely helpful. We don't accept payment for positive reviews, and we prominently disclose our affiliate relationships. When we recommend a casino, it's because we genuinely believe it offers value to NZ players, not because of commercial considerations.
What Sets Us Apart
Unlike many casino review sites that simply republish marketing materials, our team conducts hands-on testing of every platform we review. We create real accounts, make actual deposits, play through bonus offers, and process withdrawals to verify claims about processing times and reliability.
Our review methodology evaluates casinos across multiple dimensions including licensing credentials, game selection, bonus value, payment options, customer support quality, mobile experience, and responsible gambling tools. We weight these factors based on their importance to typical NZ players, resulting in ratings that reflect real-world value rather than superficial impressions.
We also maintain ongoing relationships with the casinos we review, updating our content when terms change, new games launch, or player feedback highlights issues we should address. This commitment to accuracy means our reviews remain relevant and trustworthy over time.
Our Team
The NZcasinoREV team combines diverse expertise spanning casino operations, software development, financial services, and journalism. This multidisciplinary approach enables comprehensive analysis that considers technical, financial, and experiential aspects of online gambling.
Our lead analyst, James Thornton, brings over 12 years of iGaming industry experience to every review. His deep understanding of casino mechanics, bonus mathematics, and regulatory frameworks ensures our evaluations reflect genuine expertise rather than surface-level observations.
Supporting analysts contribute specialised knowledge in areas including live casino gaming, progressive jackpots, mobile optimisation, and payment processing. This collaborative approach ensures no aspect of the casino experience escapes thorough scrutiny.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
We believe gambling should be entertaining, not harmful. Every review includes information about responsible gambling tools, and we actively discourage practices that could lead to problem gambling. Our team has completed responsible gambling training, and we maintain relationships with support organisations including the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand.
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, please contact the Problem Gambling Helpline at 0800 654 655. Help is available 24/7, and all calls are confidential.
