Who We Are

BestBonus.co.nz is New Zealand's independent casino bonus comparison platform. We are a dedicated team of six gambling industry specialists whose combined experience spans poker, sports betting, live casino, and online slots.

Founded by Pierre and Lukas in August 2017 after years of personal frustration finding reliable, unbiased bonus information for Kiwi players — we've grown from a small blog into a comprehensive comparison resource trusted by hundreds of thousands of players.

How We Review Casinos

Licensing & Security

We only list casinos holding licences from recognised regulators such as MGA, UKGC, and Curaçao eGaming.

Bonus Terms & Conditions

We read every clause — wagering requirements, game restrictions, withdrawal caps, and time limits all assessed and plainly explained.

NZD Banking

We verify NZD payment options, supported e-wallets, and real-world withdrawal speeds before listing any casino.

Mobile Experience

Casinos are tested hands-on across Android and iOS — checking app quality, touch navigation, and loading performance.

Customer Support

We contact each casino support team to verify response times, language quality, and availability of live chat.

Continuous Updates

Rankings and reviews are updated on a rolling basis. If a bonus changes or a casino underperforms, our listings reflect that immediately.

Our Editorial Standards

BestBonus.co.nz is an independent platform. We earn revenue through referral partnerships with the casinos we list, but this does not influence our editorial rankings or review scores. Casinos cannot pay to improve their rating.

We update reviews and bonus listings continuously. If a bonus changes, terms worsen, or a casino fails to meet our standards, our listings are updated — or the casino is removed entirely.
