Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Website: pufap.org | Author: Daniel Whitaker

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Pufap (pufap.org), we believe that honesty is the foundation of any trustworthy review website. This page exists to be completely transparent about how this site operates financially, how affiliate relationships work, and why those relationships do not influence the editorial content you read here. We encourage every visitor to read this disclosure carefully before using any recommendations or clicking any links on this site.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on pufap.org are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or pokies operator and then sign up or make a deposit, Pufap may receive a commission from that operator. This commission is paid by the casino, not by you. Your experience, any bonuses you are offered, and any terms attached to those bonuses are entirely unaffected by whether or not we receive a commission.

Affiliate links are a standard and widely accepted method of monetisation used across the online publishing industry. They allow websites like Pufap to remain free to use for readers while still covering the costs of research, writing, testing, and maintenance.

How Our Affiliate Relationships Work

Commission structure: Pufap earns either a revenue share, a cost-per-acquisition (CPA) fee, or a hybrid of both, depending on the individual operator agreement.
No upfront payments for reviews: Operators do not pay Pufap to be reviewed or to receive a positive review. Every casino listed on this site has been evaluated independently.
No guaranteed placement: Affiliate status does not guarantee a high ranking or a featured position on any page. Rankings are determined solely by review scores and editorial judgement.
Not all operators are affiliates: Some casinos reviewed on this site may not have an affiliate arrangement with Pufap. They are included because they are relevant and useful to New Zealand players.

Editorial Independence

The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the reviews, ratings, or recommendations published on pufap.org. Daniel Whitaker, the author and owner of this site, maintains full editorial control over all content. Casinos are reviewed against a consistent set of criteria regardless of whether an affiliate agreement exists. If an operator does not meet acceptable standards for New Zealand players, it will receive a low score or will not be recommended, even if it offers a lucrative commission.

Negative findings, withdrawal complaints, bonus restrictions, and licensing concerns are reported honestly and are never withheld to protect an affiliate relationship.

Our Review Methodology

Every online pokies review published on Pufap is based on a structured evaluation process developed by Daniel Whitaker, who has spent several years researching and analysing the New Zealand online gambling market. Each operator is assessed across the following areas:

Licensing and regulatory compliance relevant to NZ players
Quality, variety, and fairness of pokie games
Bonus terms, wagering requirements, and real value for Kiwi players
Deposit and withdrawal options including NZD banking
Customer support responsiveness and quality
Mobile compatibility and overall user experience
Responsible gambling tools and player protection measures

FTC Compliance Notice

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with international best practices for consumer transparency, Pufap clearly discloses all material connections to operators featured on this website. Any relationship that could reasonably affect how a reader perceives our recommendations is disclosed on this page and, where appropriate, within individual review content.
