Affiliate Disclosure

    Last updated: January 2026

    Welcome to pacdawn.co.nz. We provide independent reviews, comparisons, and informational guides regarding the best online casinos available to players in New Zealand. In the spirit of complete transparency, we want to inform you that our website participates in affiliate marketing programmes.

    1. Affiliate Links and Commissions

    Some of the outbound links on pacdawn.co.nz are affiliate tracking links. This means that if you click on one of these links and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at an online casino, we may receive a financial commission or referral fee from the casino operator at no additional cost to you.

    2. Editorial Independence

    Our commercial relationships do not influence our editorial integrity, review methodologies, or casino rankings. We evaluate operators based on strict criteria, including New Zealand player suitability, licensing, game variety, payout speeds, customer support, and security standards.

    Our writers and analysts provide honest opinions and factual assessments. A casino paying a higher referral fee will never receive a favourable review, higher rating, or false recommendation on our site.

    3. Identifying Sponsored and Affiliate Content

    We believe in straightforward disclosure across our platform. Affiliate links are typically integrated within:

    Any content that is directly paid for or sponsored by a third-party operator—outside our standard review process—will be explicitly marked as "Sponsored Content" or "Promoted".

    4. Regulatory Compliance and New Zealand Standards

    We are dedicated to adhering to fair trading, transparent marketing practices, and advertising regulations relevant to New Zealand consumers, including the principles outlined in the Fair Trading Act 1986 and guidance issued by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) of New Zealand. We do not engage in misleading, deceptive, or subliminal marketing, and we only direct users to legally accessible, offshore-regulated operators that accept New Zealand players.

    5. Player Responsibility and Safer Gambling

    While we strive to provide accurate, up-to-date information regarding casino bonuses, wagering requirements, and terms, operators may alter their offers and policies without prior notice. It remains your responsibility to verify all terms and conditions directly on the casino operator's website before depositing or claiming any promotion.

    Gambling involves financial risk and can become addictive. You must be at least 18 years old (or 20 years old, depending on the venue/jurisdiction) to access real-money gambling services. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. If you or someone you know in New Zealand needs confidential support with problem gambling, please contact the Gambling Helpline NZ at 0800 654 655.
