Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Bluelibs (bluelibs.org.nz), transparency is a core value. This page explains exactly how this website earns revenue, how that relationship works, and why it does not influence the integrity of the casino reviews and recommendations published here. If you use this site to make decisions about online gambling in New Zealand, you deserve to understand the full picture.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a performance-based commercial arrangement between a content publisher and a business. When Bluelibs includes a link to an online casino operator, that link may be a tracked affiliate link. This means that if you click the link and then register an account or make a deposit at that casino, Bluelibs may receive a commission payment from the operator.

This commission comes entirely from the casino operator. It does not come from you, it does not increase your costs in any way, and it does not change the bonus offers or terms you receive as a player.

How Affiliate Links Work on Bluelibs

Some links on bluelibs.org.nz are affiliate links provided by licensed online casino operators.
When a qualifying action occurs — such as a new player registration or a first deposit — Bluelibs may earn a referral commission.
Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. Some casinos are mentioned or reviewed without any commercial arrangement.
The presence or absence of an affiliate arrangement has no bearing on how a casino is rated or ranked on this site.

Does This Affect Editorial Independence?

No. Liam Crawford, the author and owner of Bluelibs, maintains full editorial control over all content published on this site. Casino operators do not write, review, approve, or influence any review, rating, or recommendation. No operator pays for a positive review or a higher ranking position.

Casinos that perform poorly in testing are rated accordingly, regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists. Casinos that are flagged for unethical practices, slow payouts, or unfair terms are reported honestly, even when doing so may reduce potential earnings from that operator.

Liam Crawford's Review Methodology

Liam Crawford brings direct, hands-on experience with the New Zealand online gambling market to every review published on Bluelibs. Reviews are based on a consistent evaluation process that examines the following criteria:

Licensing and regulation: Only casinos holding valid licences from recognised gambling authorities are considered.
Security and fairness: SSL encryption standards, RNG certification, and responsible gambling tools are verified.
Banking options: Deposit and withdrawal methods relevant to New Zealand players are tested and assessed.
Bonus terms: Wagering requirements, game restrictions, and expiry conditions are examined critically and reported honestly.
Game library: Software providers, game variety, and mobile compatibility are evaluated.
Customer support: Response times and quality of support channels are personally tested.

Ratings and recommendations reflect genuine research and testing, not commercial incentives.

FTC Compliance Statement

In accordance with the guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials, Bluelibs discloses all material connections between this website and third-party casino operators. Any affiliate or commercial relationship that could reasonably influence a reader's evaluation of the content is disclosed clearly on this page and, where applicable, within individual reviews.
