Affiliate Disclosure

    Last updated: January 2026

    Transparency and honesty are core values at smartmarketing.net.nz. In accordance with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Codes of Practice in New Zealand and Fair Trading Act guidelines, we provide this disclosure to explain how we fund our operations and maintain our services as an independent online casino review platform.

    Affiliate Links and Commission

    smartmarketing.net.nz operates as an affiliate marketing website. This means that some of the links on this website are affiliate tracking links. When you click on these links to visit an external online casino, register an account, or make a deposit, we may receive a monetary commission or referral fee from the casino operator at no additional cost to you.

    Editorial Independence and Objective Reviews

    While we earn revenue through affiliate partnerships, our commercial relationships do NOT influence our editorial integrity, rankings, ratings, or the content of our casino reviews. Our evaluations are conducted independently based on strict criteria, including licensing, safety, game variety, payout speeds, and customer support. We do not accept payment to produce positive reviews for substandard operators, nor do we alter our factual findings to appease affiliate partners.

    How to Identify Affiliate Links on Our Site

    To help you distinguish commercial links from standard informational content, affiliate links on smartmarketing.net.nz are typically presented in the following ways:

    Where feasible, commercial and partner links are tagged appropriately with technical attributes (such as rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow") to comply with international web standards and search engine guidelines.

    Regulatory Compliance (New Zealand)

    We are committed to operating in full alignment with New Zealand advertising standards, specifically the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Advertising Standards Code and the Gambling Advertising Code, ensuring our promotional content is socially responsible, truthful, and clearly distinguishable from purely editorial content.

    Reader Responsibility and Safe Gambling

    smartmarketing.net.nz is an informational and comparison portal intended strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older (or 20 years where applicable under specific venue laws). We do not provide real-money gambling services directly.

    It is your sole responsibility to ensure that you meet all age and legal requirements before registering with any third-party gambling operator, and that online gambling is legal in your local jurisdiction. Please remember that gambling involves financial risk and can become addictive. We urge all our readers to gamble responsibly. If you or someone you know in New Zealand is struggling with gambling-related harm, please contact the Gambling Helpline NZ at 0800 654 655 or text 8006 for free, confidential support.
