Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Lodgingandllamas (lodgingandllamas.com), we believe you deserve to know exactly how this website operates and how it earns money. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how they work, and why they have absolutely no influence over the honest, independent reviews and recommendations published here by Daniel Hartley.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or making decisions based on content found on this website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on lodgingandllamas.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or pokie platform and subsequently sign up or make a deposit, Lodgingandllamas may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you. You pay exactly the same amount you would pay if you visited the casino directly.

Affiliate links are a standard and widely accepted way for review websites to generate revenue. They allow us to continue producing free, detailed, and genuinely useful content for New Zealand players without charging readers anything.

How Our Affiliate Relationships Work

Lodgingandllamas maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino and pokies operators that accept New Zealand players. These partnerships are established after a platform has been reviewed and assessed on its own merits. The existence of an affiliate relationship is never the reason a casino or pokie site appears on this website.

Commission structures vary by operator and may include revenue share, cost per acquisition (CPA), or hybrid arrangements.
We are never paid to write positive reviews or to rank a particular platform higher than it deserves.
Operators cannot purchase editorial coverage, a higher star rating, or a featured position through affiliate fees alone.
Negative findings are always reported, even when an affiliate relationship exists with that operator.

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

Daniel Hartley, the owner and primary author of Lodgingandllamas, maintains full and unconditional editorial independence over all content published on this website. No casino operator, affiliate network, or third-party advertiser has any influence over the scores, rankings, recommendations, or written assessments you read here.

Daniel Hartley has spent years researching the New Zealand online gambling market, studying game mechanics, payout structures, licensing frameworks, and player protection standards. This hands-on expertise forms the foundation of every review published on this site, ensuring that New Zealand players receive accurate, trustworthy guidance they can rely on.

Our Review Methodology

Every online pokies platform reviewed on lodgingandllamas.com is assessed against a consistent and documented set of criteria, including:

Licensing and regulatory compliance with recognised authorities
Game library quality, including the range and variety of pokie titles available to NZ players
Software providers and return-to-player (RTP) transparency
Banking options relevant to New Zealand players, including NZD support
Bonus terms and wagering requirements, assessed for fairness and clarity
Customer support responsiveness and availability
Responsible gambling tools and player protection measures

Platforms are only recommended when they meet a satisfactory standard across all of these areas. A high affiliate commission rate is never a substitute for quality.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials, Lodgingandllamas clearly discloses all material connections between this website and the operators featured within it. This disclosure page, along with in-content disclosures where applicable, satisfies our obligation to inform readers of potential financial relationships.

Questions About This Disclosure

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, how we earn money, or how our reviews are conducted, you are welcome to contact Daniel Hartley directly through the contact page at lodgingandllamas.com. We are committed to full transparency and will always respond honestly to reader enquiries.
