About Us

Who we are and what this site is for

This website is an independent informational review and comparison resource tailored for players in New Zealand. We research, test, and write about online casinos, including platforms like Zodiac Casino, to help readers understand their options before committing funds. We are strictly an editorial guide and comparison service, not a casino operator. We do not accept bets, process deposits, or hold player money. All gameplay, financial transactions, and account management take place directly on the respective third-party casino websites.

How we test

Our review process relies on structured, hands-on evaluation of each platform we feature. When we examine an online casino available in New Zealand, we look at a consistent set of practical criteria:

Licensing and Regulation: We check whether the operator holds valid remote gambling licences from recognised regulatory bodies.
Banking and Payouts: We test the available deposit and withdrawal methods, focusing on processing times, currency support for New Zealand Dollars, and transaction transparency.
Game Libraries: We assess the variety and provenance of software providers, looking at pokie selection, table games, and live dealer options.
Customer Support: We test support channels such as live chat and email to measure response times and helpfulness.
Terms and Conditions: We read the fine print on bonus offers, wagering requirements, and account verification procedures to identify potential friction points for players.

The team and its experience

Our editorial team has been covering the online casino industry since 2011, giving us about 15 years of continuous experience tracking regulatory changes, software evolutions, and shifts in player security. We are a small, independent group of researchers and writers who focus on factual accuracy and clear presentation. The editor in charge of this site is Amelia Scott, who oversees all content standards, fact-checking, and editorial guidelines to ensure our reviews remain objective and current.

Responsible gambling and 18+

Access to online gambling is strictly restricted to adults. Readers must be 18 years of age or older, or meet the legal gambling age applicable in their jurisdiction within New Zealand. We believe that gambling should be approached purely as a form of entertainment rather than a source of income or a financial solution. To maintain control, players should utilise tools provided by operators, such as setting deposit limits, session time reminders, or opting for self-exclusion if gambling stops being fun. If you or someone you know requires support regarding gambling habits, free and confidential assistance is available through local services like the Gambling Helpline New Zealand.

How to contact the editorial team

We welcome feedback, corrections, and questions from our readers. If you spot an error in one of our reviews, have a query about our testing methodology, or need to reach out for any other reason, you can contact the editorial team directly by email at editor@zodiaccasinonzl.com.

How we fund this site

To keep this informational website running and free for our readers, we participate in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that when you click on certain links leading from our pages to an online casino and subsequently register or deposit, we may receive a commission from the operator at no additional cost to you. However, this financial arrangement does not influence our editorial assessments, test results, or the ratings we assign to any platform. Our reviews are based entirely on objective criteria and our ongoing evaluation of each casino’s performance.
