At Sortedcoffee (sortedcoffee.co.nz), we believe that honesty is the foundation of every trustworthy review site. This page explains how we earn money, how that relationship works, and why it does not influence the editorial opinions published on this site. Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or recommendations found on Sortedcoffee.
Some of the links on sortedcoffee.co.nz are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or gambling operator and subsequently sign up, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action, Sortedcoffee may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you. The price you pay, the bonus you receive, and the terms offered to you remain exactly the same whether you use our link or visit the casino directly.
Affiliate links are a standard and widely used method of monetising review and comparison websites. They allow us to fund the research, testing, and writing that goes into producing detailed, useful content for New Zealand players.
Sortedcoffee maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino operators that accept New Zealand players. These relationships are managed through formal affiliate programme agreements. Key facts about how these arrangements operate include:
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the content, scores, or recommendations published on Sortedcoffee. All casino reviews are researched, written, and edited independently by Liam Hargreaves, the owner and lead reviewer of this site. Liam applies a consistent review methodology to every casino evaluated, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement is in place.
Casinos that perform poorly in our assessment will receive low scores and honest criticism, even if they are affiliate partners. Equally, casinos that are not yet affiliate partners may still appear and be recommended if they genuinely deserve recognition. Our readers' safety and informed decision-making always take priority over commercial considerations.
Every casino reviewed on sortedcoffee.co.nz is evaluated against a structured set of criteria developed specifically for the New Zealand online gambling market. Liam Hargreaves personally assesses each operator across the following areas:
