Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Website: thek9way.co.nz | Owner: Liam Hargreaves

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Thek9way, we believe that honesty is the foundation of every trustworthy review website. This page exists to be completely transparent with our readers about how this site operates financially, and to ensure you can make fully informed decisions about the information you read here.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any recommendations or clicking any links on thek9way.co.nz.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a website publisher and a third-party business. When Thek9way includes a link to an online casino or gambling operator, that link may be a tracked affiliate link. This means that if you click the link and subsequently sign up or make a deposit at that casino, Thek9way may receive a commission or referral fee from the operator.

This is a widely used and legally recognised business model across the online publishing industry. Affiliate commissions allow us to fund the research, writing, and maintenance that goes into producing detailed, accurate casino reviews at no additional cost to you.

How Affiliate Links Work on Thek9way

When you click a link on thek9way.co.nz that leads to an online casino:

A small tracking tag may be embedded in the URL to identify that the referral came from our site.
If you register an account and/or deposit funds, the casino operator may pay us a commission.
The commission comes from the operator, not from you. You pay nothing extra.
The bonus offers and terms you see are exactly the same as visiting the casino directly.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

No. The existence of an affiliate relationship does never influence the content, ratings, or recommendations published on Thek9way. Casinos are reviewed and ranked based on objective criteria alone. A casino that pays a higher commission does not receive a higher rating, and a casino with no affiliate programme is still reviewed and covered if it is relevant to New Zealand players.

Liam Hargreaves, the owner and lead reviewer of Thek9way, maintains complete editorial independence over all content published on this website. Every review reflects his honest, personal assessment of the casino in question.

Our Review Methodology

To ensure every review is fair, accurate, and useful to New Zealand players, Liam Hargreaves evaluates each casino against a consistent set of criteria, including:

Licensing and regulation – whether the operator holds a valid licence from a recognised authority.
Security and fairness – use of SSL encryption, RNG certification, and responsible gambling tools.
Bonus terms and conditions – wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, and overall value for NZ players.
Game selection and software providers – variety, quality, and availability of games in New Zealand.
Payment methods – support for NZD banking options, deposit/withdrawal speeds, and fees.
Customer support – responsiveness, availability, and quality of support channels.
Player feedback – real user experiences gathered from public forums and player communities.
