Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Townviewco (townviewco.org), honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to clearly explain the financial relationships we maintain with certain online casino operators, and how those relationships do and do not influence the content you read on this site. We believe every visitor deserves to understand exactly how this website operates before trusting our recommendations.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

Some of the links on Townviewco.org are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to an online casino or pokie operator featured on this site and subsequently create an account or make a deposit, Townviewco may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes directly from the operator at no additional cost to you. You will never pay more for a product or service as a result of clicking an affiliate link on this site.

Affiliate partnerships are a standard and legitimate way for review websites to generate revenue and cover the costs of producing detailed, research-driven content. Without this income, providing free, in-depth reviews and guides to New Zealand players would not be sustainable.

How Affiliate Links Work on This Site

When you click a link labeled "Visit Casino", "Play Now", or similar calls to action on Townviewco.org, that link may be tracked by the operator so they can attribute any resulting signup or deposit to our referral. The tracking is handled via cookies or unique URL parameters. You are never obligated to use these links, and you are always free to visit any operator directly through your own browser.

Editorial Independence and Review Integrity

Having affiliate relationships with operators does not influence the editorial content, ratings, or recommendations produced by Townviewco. All reviews are written and overseen by Liam Hartley, the site's owner and lead reviewer, who applies a consistent and independent methodology to every casino evaluated on this platform.

Liam Hartley has developed a structured approach to reviewing online pokies sites for the New Zealand market based on firsthand testing, player feedback, and ongoing monitoring of operator behaviour. Operators cannot pay to receive a higher rating, a more favourable review, or placement in any recommended list. Sites that fail to meet the standards set by our review criteria are rated poorly or excluded entirely, regardless of any commercial relationship.

Our Review Methodology

Every casino and pokie platform assessed on Townviewco.org is evaluated against the following criteria:

Licensing and regulation: We verify that operators hold valid licences from recognised regulatory authorities.
Game selection: We assess the range, quality, and software providers behind the pokie titles available to New Zealand players.
Bonuses and promotions: Welcome offers, free spins, and ongoing promotions are reviewed with close attention to terms, wagering requirements, and fairness.
Banking options: We evaluate deposit and withdrawal methods relevant to NZ players, including processing times and any applicable fees.
Security and fair play: We check for SSL encryption, RNG certification, and responsible gambling tools.
Customer support: Response times, availability, and quality of support channels are tested directly.

Ratings are assigned independently by Liam Hartley based on the combined results of this methodology, not on the size or existence of any affiliate agreement.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as international best practices for transparent affiliate marketing. We are committed to maintaining full compliance with all applicable disclosure requirements.

Questions About This Disclosure

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, review process, or editorial policies, you are welcome to contact us directly. We are committed to maintaining an open and honest relationship with the New Zealand players who rely on Townviewco for guidance.
