About Peter Rowlands
The editor-in-chief oversees all casino coverage for the New Zealand site and signs off every review before it goes live. Their background is in gambling regulation and consumer publishing, with a particular interest in how offshore operators serve New Zealand players while the local licensing framework under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 is still being rolled out.
Day to day, they compare every figure in a review against the source material: licence numbers, bonus amounts, wagering requirements, RTP and withdrawal timeframes. They also check that player complaints and third-party ratings are reported as they stand, that weaknesses are stated plainly, and that no review reads like an advertisement. If a claim cannot be traced back to a verified source, it is cut.
What Peter checks before publication
Before publication, the editor-in-chief verifies every figure against the source data: licence numbers, company details, bonus amounts, wagering, minimum deposits, RTP and withdrawal timeframes. They confirm that ratings and player reviews are quoted exactly, that the tone stays neutral and that no promotional wording has slipped in. They also check that responsible gambling tools and helpline details appear where relevant, that partner links carry the nofollow attribute, and that the 18+ notice is in place.

Every page is proofread and fact-checked before publication, and reviews are updated when terms change. Some links to operators are partner links; they always carry the nofollow attribute and never influence our ratings. This site is intended for readers aged 18 and over. Gambling carries real risks of debt and addiction, and it should never be treated as a source of income.
