Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: 2026

How We Earn Money

NoRats.org is a free resource for New Zealand players interested in online pokies. We earn affiliate commissions when you click through our links and sign up with the casinos we review. These commissions help us maintain and improve our website, but they do not come out of your pocket—you pay the same amount whether you sign up directly or through our links.

Our Commitment to Honesty

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial rankings, reviews, or recommendations. We base all reviews on objective criteria including game variety, safety, bonuses, customer support, and user experience. A casino's ability to pay us a commission has no bearing on how we rate or rank it.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate and sponsored links on NoRats.org are clearly marked with the label "[AFFILIATE LINK]" or "[SPONSORED]" near the link or button. These links direct you to casino partner sites where we may earn a commission from your sign-up.

Regulatory Compliance

This disclosure complies with the New Zealand Consumer Protection Act 1987 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, as well as industry best practices for transparency in affiliate marketing. We are committed to honest, ethical advertising standards in accordance with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Code of Ethics.

Your Responsibility

We encourage you to conduct your own research and gamble responsibly. Please review each casino's terms and conditions independently. If you have concerns about any reviewed casino, contact the relevant gambling regulator or Gambling Commission of New Zealand.
