Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

Schoolleaver (schoolleaver.nz) is committed to transparency and honesty with our readers. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how they may affect the content we publish.

What This Website Does

Schoolleaver provides independent reviews and recommendations for online casinos available to New Zealand players. Our team, led by Admin, evaluates casino operators based on rigorous testing criteria, player safety standards, game selection, and user experience.

Affiliate Relationships and Commissions

Schoolleaver may earn affiliate commissions when you click links to online casino operators and complete certain actions, such as signing up for an account or making a deposit. These commissions come from the casino operators we review and do not cost you any additional money.

In other words:

• You pay the same amount whether you click our link or visit the casino directly
• No hidden fees are added to your account
• We receive a commission only if you register through our affiliate link

These commissions help fund our website operations, allowing us to continue providing free, high-quality reviews and recommendations to New Zealand players.

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

Our affiliate relationships do not influence the integrity of our reviews. Admin's assessments and recommendations are based entirely on independent analysis and testing. We are committed to maintaining editorial independence, even though we benefit financially from affiliate links.

Specifically, we:

• Test each casino operator ourselves before recommending it
• Evaluate casinos on the same criteria regardless of commission rates
• Do not prioritise casinos that pay higher commissions
• Include both positive and negative findings in our reviews
• Recommend only casinos we genuinely believe are safe and reputable
• Disclose affiliate relationships transparently on all relevant pages

Our Review Methodology

Admin follows a structured review process to ensure quality and consistency:

• Licensing and Regulation: We verify that each casino holds valid gaming licenses from recognised authorities and complies with New Zealand regulations
• Safety and Security: We assess SSL encryption, data protection practices, and responsible gambling tools
• Game Selection: We evaluate the range and quality of slot games, table games, and live dealer offerings
• Bonuses and Promotions: We review welcome bonuses, ongoing promotions, and wagering requirements for fairness
• Payment Methods: We test deposit and withdrawal options, processing times, and transaction security
• Customer Support: We assess the availability and quality of customer service channels
• User Experience: We evaluate website design, mobile compatibility, and overall functionality

About Admin's Expertise

Admin brings extensive knowledge of the online gambling industry, including player protection regulations, casino operations, and gaming technology. This expertise allows us to provide informed, credible reviews that prioritise reader safety and satisfaction above commercial interests.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are standard URLs with tracking parameters that identify you as a Schoolleaver referral. They look similar to regular website links but allow the casino operator to credit Schoolleaver with your sign-up. You can identify our affiliate links by the disclosure statement "affiliate link" or similar language placed near the link.

Disclosure on Individual Pages

In addition to this page, Schoolleaver discloses affiliate relationships on all review pages and articles where casino operator links appear. These disclosures ensure you always know when we may earn a commission from your actions.

Your trust is our most valuable asset, and we take transparency seriously.
