Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Rokondo.com | Written by Scott Rawhiti

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Rokondo (rokondo.com), honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This Affiliate Disclosure page exists to be completely transparent with our readers about how this website operates financially, and to confirm that our editorial content remains independent regardless of any commercial relationships we hold.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or recommendations found on Rokondo.com.

What Are Affiliate Relationships?

Rokondo.com is a participant in affiliate marketing programs operated by online casino operators and gambling platforms available to players in New Zealand. This means that when you click certain links on our website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at an online casino, Rokondo may receive a commission payment from that operator.

This type of commercial arrangement is standard practice across review and comparison websites. The commission we may earn comes at no additional cost to you as the player. You will not pay more, receive fewer bonuses, or be treated differently by any casino because you arrived through a link on Rokondo.com.

How Affiliate Links Work on Rokondo

Some links published on Rokondo.com are tracked affiliate links. When you click one of these links, a small data file known as a cookie may be stored on your device. This cookie allows the casino operator to identify that your visit originated from Rokondo.com, enabling any qualifying commission to be attributed correctly.

Not every link on our website is an affiliate link. We may also reference or mention casinos, regulators, and industry organisations without any financial arrangement in place.

Does Affiliate Income Influence Our Reviews?

No. Our affiliate relationships do not influence the content, scores, or recommendations published on Rokondo.com.

Site owner and lead reviewer Scott Rawhiti conducts all casino evaluations using a consistent, criteria-based methodology. The existence of an affiliate agreement with an operator does not result in a more favourable review, and the absence of an affiliate agreement does not result in a negative review. Casinos are assessed and scored based on their actual merits alone.

Our Review Methodology

Scott Rawhiti evaluates each online casino listed on Rokondo.com against a defined set of criteria that reflect the priorities of New Zealand players. These criteria include, but are not limited to:

Licensing and regulatory compliance — whether the casino holds a valid licence from a recognised authority
Withdrawal speed and payment reliability — how quickly players actually receive their winnings
Banking options — availability of payment methods suitable for NZ players, including NZD support
Bonus terms and fairness — wagering requirements, maximum cashout limits, and overall value
Game selection and software quality — range of titles and the reputation of software providers
Customer support responsiveness — availability and quality of support channels
Security and responsible gambling tools — SSL encryption, self-exclusion options, and deposit limits

Where possible, Scott Rawhiti tests casinos directly through real account creation and, where applicable, real-money play, to ensure that assessments reflect genuine player experiences rather than marketing claims.

FTC Compliance and Legal Notice

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and in the interest of full transparency with our audience, Rokondo.com discloses all material connections between this website and the businesses we review or recommend. This disclosure applies site-wide to all pages, reviews, and casino recommendations published on rokondo.com.

Questions About This Disclosure
