Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency and trust are essential to our mission at kushnz.com. In accordance with applicable advertising and consumer protection standards in New Zealand—including the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Advertising Standards Code and the Fair Trading Act 1986—we provide this Affiliate Disclosure to clearly explain how our website generates revenue and how this impacts our content.
Affiliate Relationships and Commissions
kushnz.com operates as an independent comparison and review website for online gambling and casino platforms accessible to players in New Zealand. To keep our content free for readers, we partner with operators through affiliate marketing programmes.
This means that when you click on certain outbound links to casino operators on kushnz.com and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, we may receive a monetary commission or referral fee from that operator at no extra cost to you.
Editorial Independence and Review Integrity
While we earn affiliate commissions, our reviews, ratings, rankings, and editorial decisions are guided strictly by our independent evaluation criteria. Commercial arrangements do not dictate or influence our editorial integrity.
- We evaluate online casinos based on licensing, player safety, payment speed, game selection, bonus terms, customer support, and suitability for Kiwi players.
- A financial relationship with an operator does not guarantee a positive review, higher ranking, or inclusion on our platform.
- We regularly update our ratings to reflect changes in operator performance and service quality.
How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
To ensure full clarity, we identify commercial links across kushnz.com using the following methods:
- Call-to-action buttons (such as "Play Now", "Claim Bonus", "Visit Casino", or "Sign Up") leading to third-party casino sites generally contain affiliate tracking parameters.
- Direct text links directed to external gaming platforms may be designated with rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attributes in line with digital marketing standards.
- Review pages and comparison tables containing outbound commercial links display clear on-page disclosure notices indicating the presence of affiliate links.
Regulatory Compliance (New Zealand)
kushnz.com strictly adheres to New Zealand advertising guidelines. We ensure that:
- All promotional materials and reviews are truthful, balanced, and not misleading under the Fair Trading Act 1986.
- Marketing communications comply with the ASA Gambling Advertising Code, promoting responsible play and ensuring commercial content is targeted strictly at adults aged 18 years and older.
- Our platform does not host real-money gambling services; we provide informational and comparative content regarding operators licensed in international jurisdictions.
Reader Responsibility and Responsible Gambling
It is your sole responsibility to verify the legality, licensing, and terms of any gambling website before registering or depositing funds. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date bonus details, payment information, and terms, third-party operators may alter their terms at any time without prior notice.
Gambling carries financial risk and should only be undertaken for entertainment. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. If you or someone you know in New Zealand is experiencing gambling-related harm, free and confidential support is available 24/7:
- Gambling Helpline NZ: 0800 654 655 or text 8006
- Safer Gambling Aotearoa: Visit their official website for resources and self-exclusion tools.
