Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Site owner: Liam Crawford | Domain: laurashockleyphotography.com

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Laurashockleyphotography, transparency is a core principle. This page explains exactly how this website earns money, how that relates to the online pokies NZ reviews and recommendations published here, and why you can trust the editorial content produced by Liam Crawford regardless of any commercial relationships in place.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or recommendations found on laurashockleyphotography.com.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an online casino or pokies operator and subsequently sign up, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action, Laurashockleyphotography may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.

This commission is paid by the operator directly and comes at absolutely no additional cost to you as the visitor. You will not pay more for any product or service by using a link from this site compared to visiting an operator's website directly.

How Affiliate Relationships Work on This Site

Operator partnerships: Laurashockleyphotography maintains affiliate agreements with a number of online casino and pokies operators available to players in New Zealand.
Commission structures: Compensation may take the form of a one-time referral payment, a revenue share arrangement, or a cost-per-acquisition model depending on the specific operator.
Link identification: Affiliate links on this site may redirect through a tracking URL before reaching the operator's website. This tracking allows the operator to attribute the referral correctly.
No payment for positive reviews: Operators do not pay for favourable editorial coverage. Commission is earned only when a user takes a qualifying action, not for publishing positive content.

Editorial Independence and Unbiased Reviews

The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial opinions or ratings published on Laurashockleyphotography. Liam Crawford maintains full editorial control over all review content and applies the same methodology to every operator regardless of whether an affiliate agreement is in place.

Operators that perform poorly in testing are reviewed honestly and transparently. Negative findings are reported without omission. If a casino does not meet the standards expected by New Zealand players, that assessment is published clearly, even where a commercial relationship exists.

Review Methodology

Every online pokies NZ review published on this website follows a consistent, structured evaluation process. Liam Crawford assesses each operator across the following criteria:

Licensing and regulation: Verifying that the operator holds a valid licence from a recognised authority and legally accepts players from New Zealand.
Game selection: Evaluating the quality, variety, and software providers behind the pokies catalogue.
Bonus terms: Scrutinising wagering requirements, maximum withdrawal limits, and the genuine value of welcome offers and ongoing promotions.
Banking options: Confirming NZD-friendly deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, and fee structures.
Security and fairness: Checking SSL encryption standards, RNG certification, and responsible gambling tools available to players.
Customer support: Testing response times and the quality of support channels.
