About PokiesList NZ

Our Mission

PokiesList was founded with a simple goal: give Kiwi players the information they need to make smart decisions about online pokies. We believe every player deserves access to accurate RTP data, honest casino reviews, and practical guidance that puts their interests first.

Unlike sites that simply promote whoever pays the most, we maintain editorial independence. Our reviews are based on thorough testing, player feedback, and transparent criteria. When we recommend a casino, it's because it genuinely offers value to New Zealand players.

What We Do

Our team spends hundreds of hours each month playing pokies, analysing bonus terms, testing customer support, and verifying withdrawal processes. We track industry changes, monitor licensing updates, and maintain relationships with casino operators to stay informed about promotions and new game releases.

Every pokie review on our site includes independently verified RTP data, volatility assessments, and honest opinions about gameplay quality. We don't inflate scores or hide negative aspects just because a casino is a partner.

Our Values

Transparency guides everything we do. We clearly disclose when links are affiliate partnerships, explain how we earn revenue, and never let commercial relationships influence our editorial judgments. If a casino has problems, we report them regardless of business considerations.

Responsible gambling is central to our approach. We include gambling awareness information throughout our content, provide links to support resources, and refuse to use language that encourages irresponsible play. Pokies are entertainment, not income strategies, and we treat them accordingly.

Our Experience

Our editorial team brings over 40 combined years of iGaming experience. We've worked as casino reviewers, affiliate managers, game testers, and industry analysts. This diverse background helps us evaluate casinos from multiple angles and understand what really matters to players.

We're also players ourselves. Every team member actively plays at the casinos we review, using the same accounts and bonuses available to our readers. This firsthand experience keeps our reviews grounded and practical.

Contact Us

We value feedback from our readers. Whether you've had an experience (good or bad) with a casino we've reviewed, spotted an error in our content, or simply want to say hello, we'd love to hear from you.
