Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: 2026

How We Earn Money

Northland Writers Readers and Poets Festival operates as an affiliate for various online casino and pokies operators. When you click on links to these casinos from our website and create an account or make a deposit, we may earn affiliate commissions. These commissions do not cost you anything additional.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial rankings, reviews, or recommendations. We review online pokies and casinos based on objective criteria including game selection, user experience, security, licensing, and customer support. Our editorial team maintains complete independence from our commercial relationships, and we will never rank a casino higher or lower based on affiliate commission rates.

Identifying Affiliate Links

Affiliate and sponsored links on this website may be identified by:

• Text containing phrases such as "affiliate link," "sponsored," or "promotional partner"
• Hover tooltips that display affiliate disclosure information
• Clear labelling within article content

Compliance Statement

This website complies with the Consumer Protection Authority (CPA) guidelines in New Zealand and maintains transparency standards consistent with the Gambling Commission regulations. All affiliate relationships are disclosed in accordance with New Zealand consumer protection laws.

Your Responsibility

We encourage readers to conduct their own independent research before engaging with any online casino operator. Gambling carries risks, and you are responsible for ensuring any operator you choose is licensed and appropriate for your jurisdiction. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
