How do you review an online casino?
We register from a New Zealand IP, deposit NZ$200–500 of our own money, complete and time verification, audit the RTP configuration of around forty headline titles, count the live floor at 9am and 9pm NZT, read and convert the bonus terms into dollars, test support at four times of day, and run at least five timed withdrawals on every available rail. Then we score against six published weights. Every operator is fully re-tested quarterly.
Do you only review casinos that pay you?
No. We review operators readers are searching for, whether or not we have a commercial relationship, and reviews without one carry no link and are marked as such. We would rather a reader find an accurate assessment here than an inaccurate one somewhere else.
Which casino review should I read first?
Spinjo if you want the best all-round option for a New Zealander. Kingdom if getting paid quickly is your priority. Smash if you actually intend to clear a welcome bonus. Roby Casino if you want to see what a negative review looks like on a site funded by affiliate commission.
How current are these reviews?
Each review carries a last-updated date derived from a content hash, so it moves only when the content actually changes rather than every time the site is rebuilt. Bonus terms and payout times are checked monthly; full re-tests are quarterly. Operators change terms without notice, so always read the current terms on the operator’s own site before depositing.
Why are some casinos ranked low but still listed?
Because readers search for them. A search for “Roby Casino review” that finds only pages failing to mention the missing licence disclosure is worse for that reader than finding ours. We rank low, flag clearly, and explain why — which is more useful than quietly omitting a brand.
