At Beckssouthernalehouse (beckssouthernalehouse.co.nz), honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to be completely upfront with you about how this website earns revenue and how that relationship affects — or rather, does not affect — the reviews and recommendations you read here.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this site.
Some of the links on Beckssouthernalehouse are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or pokies platform and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Beckssouthernalehouse may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at absolutely no extra cost to you — you pay exactly the same amount whether you use our link or visit the casino directly.
Affiliate partnerships are a standard and widely accepted model used by review websites across the internet. They allow us to fund the research, testing, and writing that goes into producing detailed, useful content for New Zealand players.
Beckssouthernalehouse maintains affiliate agreements with a number of online casino and pokies operators that are available to players in New Zealand. When an operator is featured or recommended on this site, a commercial relationship may exist. Specifically:
Where a paid or sponsored placement exists, this will be clearly labelled on the relevant page so you always know where commercial arrangements are in place.
Having affiliate relationships does not mean operators can buy positive reviews on Beckssouthernalehouse. Liam Hargreaves, the owner and lead reviewer of this site, maintains full editorial control over all content published here. No operator is able to influence, edit, or approve review content before or after publication.
If a casino performs poorly across our evaluation criteria, it will receive a low rating — regardless of whether an affiliate agreement exists. If an operator engages in practices that are harmful to New Zealand players, it will be flagged or blacklisted entirely. The affiliate commission we might lose by publishing a negative review is never a factor in our editorial decisions.
Every online pokies review published on Beckssouthernalehouse is produced using a consistent, structured evaluation process developed by Liam Hargreaves. Reviews assess operators across the following criteria:
Ratings are assigned based on evidence gathered during hands-on testing and research, not based on the size of any commercial arrangement.
