Where the lists and brand assets come from
Commercial partners supplied the casino, sports and crypto lineups, including list order, tracking destinations, logos and promotional records. Those inputs determine the research scope; they do not establish the truth of every promotional claim.
Some supplied tracking destinations are affiliate links that can attribute a referral and may generate a commission under the publisher’s commercial arrangements. The existence of a tracking link does not establish a specific commission rate or contract, and we do not invent either.
How commercial interests are disclosed in this build
The visible comparison tables link to on-site assessments. The original tracking links are retained in the private research package for audit; this local editorial build does not activate casino sign-up or bonus-claim buttons. This is relevant while NZ advertising restrictions and publisher details remain unresolved.
We do not describe a first-place listing as “best tested”. Every supplied brand is assessed using the same headings, and source gaps can appear prominently even for a high-position operator. Offshore sports entries are identified separately from authorised NZ sports services.
Advertising rules remain separate
DIA’s advertiser guidance describes current restrictions on online casino advertising and obligations affecting third parties. A disclosure does not itself make a promotional activity permissible. Publication and any future use of referral links require a separate decision based on the current rules.
Readers can use the methodology and source lists to assess the factual content without relying on commercial order.
