At Acupuncturehb (acupuncturehb.co.nz), honesty and transparency are the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to clearly explain the financial relationships we maintain with some of the online casino operators and pokies platforms we review, and to assure our New Zealand readers that those relationships never compromise the integrity of our editorial content.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this website.
An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a content publisher and a business. When Acupuncturehb links to an online casino or pokies platform, that link may contain a unique tracking code. If you click that link and subsequently register an account or make a deposit with the operator, acupuncturehb.co.nz may receive a commission payment from that operator.
This commission comes at no additional cost to you. You will not pay more for any casino product or service as a result of arriving via one of our affiliate links. The commission is paid by the operator, not by you.
Throughout the pages of acupuncturehb.co.nz, you will find links to online pokies casinos and gaming platforms available to New Zealand players. Some of these links are standard informational links, while others are affiliate links that generate potential revenue for this site. Both types of links look identical to the reader, and we do not always label each individual link as an affiliate link within the text.
By publishing this Affiliate Disclosure page and making it accessible across the site, we fulfil our obligation to inform readers of these commercial relationships in full, in accordance with the guidelines set out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and general best practices for transparent digital publishing.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the content, ratings, rankings, or opinions published on Acupuncturehb. All casino and online pokies reviews are written and maintained with full editorial independence.
Craig Henare, the owner and lead reviewer of acupuncturehb.co.nz, applies a consistent and objective review methodology to every casino assessed on this site. Craig will publish negative findings, flag poor practices, and recommend against operators when the evidence warrants it, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement exists with that operator.
Operators cannot pay to improve their ratings, alter their review scores, or change the editorial conclusions reached through our testing process.
Every online pokies casino reviewed on acupuncturehb.co.nz is evaluated against a structured set of criteria, including:
This methodology ensures that every recommendation reflects genuine player value, not commercial convenience.
Craig Henare brings hands-on experience reviewing online gambling products for the New Zealand market. His assessments are grounded in direct testing, research, and a commitment to helping NZ players make informed, safe decisions when choosing where to play online pokies in 2026.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we produce our reviews, you are welcome to contact us directly through the contact page on acupuncturehb.co.nz. We are committed to answering any transparency-related questions openly and promptly.
