Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Website: rateiosninja.com | Author: Aaron Tūhoe

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Rateiosninja, we believe you deserve complete honesty about how this website operates and how it earns revenue. This disclosure explains the affiliate relationships we maintain, how those relationships work, and — most importantly — why they do not influence the integrity of any review or recommendation published on rateiosninja.com.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a website and an online business. When Rateiosninja includes a link to an online casino operator and a visitor clicks that link, then proceeds to register an account or make a deposit, the casino operator may pay us a commission. This commission comes entirely from the operator and is never charged to you as the player.

In plain terms: you pay nothing extra, and the casino absorbs the cost as part of their standard marketing budget.

How Rateiosninja Earns Commission

Some of the links on rateiosninja.com are affiliate links. When you use these links to visit a New Zealand online casino, we may receive financial compensation in one or more of the following forms:

Revenue share: A percentage of the net revenue generated by players referred from our site.
Cost per acquisition (CPA): A fixed fee paid when a referred visitor completes a qualifying action such as registration or first deposit.
Hybrid deals: A combination of revenue share and CPA arrangements.

Not every link on this website is an affiliate link. We sometimes reference or mention operators purely for informational purposes without any commercial arrangement in place.

FTC Compliance Notice

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as best-practice transparency standards applicable to online publishing in New Zealand and internationally, Rateiosninja discloses all material connections between this website and the operators it reviews. Any page on this site that contains affiliate links is subject to this disclosure.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

No. The existence of an affiliate relationship with an operator has no bearing on the scores, ratings, or written assessments published by Aaron Tūhoe on Rateiosninja. Casinos are evaluated on their own merits, and operators who offer commission arrangements receive no preferential treatment in our editorial process.

We have declined affiliate arrangements with operators that did not meet our quality standards, and we have published critical or negative commentary about operators regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists.

Our Review Methodology

Every casino review on Rateiosninja is researched and written independently by Aaron Tūhoe. The evaluation process examines the following criteria:

Licensing and regulation: Whether the casino holds a valid licence from a recognised regulatory authority.
Security and fairness: SSL encryption standards, RNG certification, and responsible gambling tools.
Bonuses and promotions: Welcome offers, wagering requirements, and terms transparency.
Banking options: Deposit and withdrawal methods available to New Zealand players, including minimum deposit thresholds.
Game library: Variety, software providers, and mobile compatibility.
Customer support: Availability, response times, and quality of assistance.
Player feedback: Real-world experiences sourced from community forums and verified player reviews.
