These standards guide the preparation and publication of content on New Zealand Casino Watch.
Sources and dates
We use primary sources for factual reporting, including official announcements, published rules and original documentation. Information that can change should carry a clear date and a link to its source.
Facts, opinion and uncertainty
Confirmed facts, analysis and opinion should be distinguishable. A proposal is not presented as a rule already in force. Where evidence is incomplete, the article should say what remains unknown.
Commercial relationships
Sponsored material and affiliate links must be disclosed alongside the relevant content. Promotional copy is not evidence of a licence, eligibility, availability or the full terms of an offer.
Testing and corrections
We do not claim first-hand testing without documented first-hand work. Material factual errors should be corrected, and significant updates should be identified in the article.
Gambling coverage
Gambling information is for adults. We do not present gambling as an income source or a solution to financial problems. This publication does not manage gambling accounts, payments or self-exclusion registrations.
