Editorial Policy
How We Write Reviews
Every casino review published on Top Kiwi Pokie is compiled by our editorial team from publicly available information: each operator's own terms and conditions pages, its licence registration in the relevant regulator's public register, and its published game catalogue and banking methods. We have not run structured hands-on testing — no real-money deposits, gameplay sessions or withdrawal trials. We do not republish operator-supplied marketing copy or press releases as fact; where a claim comes from the operator rather than an independent source, the review says so and links to the operator's page.
Our Independence
Top Kiwi Pokie is not owned, operated or controlled by any casino operator or gambling group. Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial partnerships. Affiliate commissions, which fund our operations, never influence the ratings, rankings or conclusions in our reviews. A casino that offers a higher commission rate does not receive preferential treatment. If a casino's published terms or licence status clearly fall short of the criteria described on our Our Experts page, it is excluded from our site regardless of any commercial arrangement. Our editors have final authority over all published content.
How We Are Compensated
Top Kiwi Pokie earns revenue through affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks a link on our site and registers at a casino, we may receive a commission from that casino at no additional cost to the reader. This affiliate model allows us to provide detailed, free-to-access reviews without charging readers or placing content behind a paywall. Full details of our affiliate relationships are available on our affiliate disclosure page. We believe transparency about our business model builds trust with our audience and is essential to maintaining editorial credibility.
Update Frequency
We do not run listed casinos through a fixed re-verification schedule. When we become aware — through an operator's own published updates, a change in a regulator's register or a reader report — that a casino has changed its terms, lost its licence or introduced practices that fall below the criteria on our Our Experts page, we update or remove the listing and note the date of the change at the top of the affected page.
Correction Policy
We take accuracy seriously and acknowledge that errors can occur. If you identify incorrect information on our site, whether it relates to bonus terms, licensing details, payment methods or any other factual claim, we encourage you to contact us at contact@topkiwipokie.com. Our editorial team reviews all correction requests within 48 hours. Confirmed errors are corrected immediately, and significant corrections are noted at the top of the affected page with the date of the update. We do not silently alter published reviews without disclosure.
