Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of New Zealand Online Casinos (refugee.org.nz). By accessing or continuing to browse this site, you accept these terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use this site.
1. About This Website
New Zealand Online Casinos is an independent comparison and review website. We research, assess and present information about online casino operators available to players in New Zealand. We do not operate a casino, accept deposits, hold player funds or provide any gambling services directly. Every gambling service linked from this site is provided by a third-party operator, and your relationship for any gambling activity is with that operator — not with us.
Our editorial team reviews casinos based on criteria including licensing, game range, payment options, bonuses, mobile compatibility and customer support. For a full explanation of how we assess operators, visit our guide to the best online casinos in NZ.
2. Affiliate and Commercial Relationships
This site contains affiliate links. When you follow a link from refugee.org.nz to a casino operator and register an account or make a deposit, we may receive a commission from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you and does not affect the price of any product or service you access through our links.
Our commercial relationships do not determine rankings, ratings or editorial conclusions. Operators cannot purchase a higher ranking, and we do not accept payment to write a favourable review. Where a commercial relationship exists with an operator we cover, that does not guarantee the operator a place on any page, nor does it remove a limitation we have identified. Our aim is to give New Zealand players accurate, useful information to make their own informed choices.
3. Age Requirement and Player Eligibility
You must be 18 years of age or older to use this website. By using refugee.org.nz, you confirm that you are at least 18. We do not promote gambling to minors and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
It is your responsibility to ensure that online gambling is lawful in your jurisdiction before registering with any operator. The casinos covered on this site are offshore operators. New Zealand law does not licence offshore online casino operators, but it does not make it unlawful for New Zealand residents to use them. You should satisfy yourself as to your own legal position before proceeding.
4. Accuracy of Information
We make every reasonable effort to ensure that information published on this site is accurate, current and fairly presented. Casino offers, bonus terms, payment methods, withdrawal limits and game libraries change regularly. The information on this site reflects our research at the time of publication or most recent update, shown on each page.
We strongly recommend that you verify all material details — particularly bonus terms, wagering requirements, eligible games and payment conditions — directly with the casino operator before registering or depositing. Bonus amounts shown on this site are in NZD where the operator promotes them in NZD; always check the operator's own terms for the applicable currency and conversion conditions.
We do not warrant that the information on this site is complete, error-free or continuously up to date. No information on this site constitutes financial, legal or gambling advice.
5. No Guarantee of Winnings or Outcomes
Nothing on this site implies or guarantees that you will win money, receive a bonus, or have any particular outcome from using an operator we feature. All forms of gambling carry risk. You should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose, and you should treat any gambling activity as entertainment rather than a source of income. Past results are not indicative of future outcomes.
6. Responsible Gambling
New Zealand Online Casinos is committed to promoting responsible gambling. We encourage all readers to set personal limits, take regular breaks and be aware of the signs of problem gambling. If gambling is causing distress to you or someone you know, support is available in New Zealand through the Problem Gambling Foundation and the Gambling Helpline (0800 654 655).
Our responsible gambling page sets out practical tools — including self-exclusion, deposit limits and cooling-off periods — that reputable operators make available to players. We recommend reviewing that page before signing up with any operator.
7. Third-Party Operators and Linked Sites
The casino operators featured on this site are independent third parties. We have no control over their websites, products, terms or practices, and we accept no liability for any loss, damage or dispute arising from your use of a third-party platform. When you leave refugee.org.nz, you are subject to the terms, privacy policy and conditions of that third-party site.
Links to third-party sites do not constitute an endorsement of everything those sites contain. We recommend reading an operator's own terms and conditions in full before depositing real money.
8. Intellectual Property
All original content published on refugee.org.nz — including written copy, editorial assessments, page structure and graphics produced by us — is the property of New Zealand Online Casinos or its licensors and is protected under applicable copyright law. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute or commercially exploit any content from this site without our prior written permission.
Casino logos, brand names and trademarks referenced on this site remain the property of their respective owners and are used here for identification and review purposes only.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, New Zealand Online Casinos and its operators, authors and contributors accept no liability for:
- Any financial loss arising from gambling with an operator featured on this site.
- Inaccuracies in operator terms, offers or game information that have changed since our most recent review.
- Technical failures, downtime or data issues on third-party casino platforms.
- Any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
10. Privacy
This site may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our pages, to serve relevant content and to improve the site over time. We do not sell personal data to third parties. If you have questions about how your data is handled, please contact us and we will respond as promptly as possible.
11. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to update or amend these terms at any time. Any changes take effect as soon as they are published on this page. The date shown at the top of this page reflects when the terms were last reviewed. Your continued use of refugee.org.nz after a change is posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We recommend checking this page periodically if you use the site regularly.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand, to the extent applicable. Any disputes arising from use of this site will be subject to the jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts, except where another jurisdiction applies as a matter of law.
