How we Rate

Each week, our experienced editorial team and in-house reviewers—trusted by more than 10,000 visitors—evaluate four online casinos by conducting real-money tests. As mystery shoppers, they go through the entire user experience, from sign-up to withdrawal, providing honest, player-focused insights. Our ratings are based on these hands-on reviews, supported by detailed research into each casino’s background, legal standing, and reputation within New Zealand’s online gambling community.

Gambling Responsibility

Gambling should be enjoyed for fun—not as a way to earn money. Please gamble responsibly: set limits, stay within your budget, and never chase your losses. If you're in New Zealand and need support, free and confidential help is available 24/7 from Gambling Helpline NZ at 0800 654 655 or gamblinghelpline.co.nz.

20+

The online casinos presented on this website are intended for players aged 20 and over. In New Zealand, the legal gambling age is 20, as defined by the Gambling Act 2003 and its subsequent amendments. Anyone found gambling underage may be fined up to NZ$500. If you're visiting from another country, please follow the legal gambling age requirements applicable in your jurisdiction.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1985 in Christchurch, Sam Harrison displays an exceptional talent in his extraordinary woodcuts and life-sized sculptures of wax on plaster. He graduated with a Bachelor of Art & Design from the Canterbury Polytechnic Institute of Technology’s School of Art & Design in 2006 and held his first solo exhibition in 2008. A fine draughtsman, he also won that same year the Mortlock McCormack Art Award, the Farina Thompson Drawing Award and had a work purchased for the Will Cummings Memorial Collection.  A work has also been purchased by the James Wallace Arts Trust.  Since 2009 Harrison has produced woodcut portraits exploring Biblical stories, and depicting the unadorned reality of the naked body.
