Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on Operaomnia (operaomnia.org), a New Zealand-focused review website covering online pokies and casino operators. Please read this page carefully before using any links or recommendations found on this site.

Who We Are

Operaomnia is owned and operated by Daniel Hargreaves, an independent reviewer and writer specialising in the New Zealand online gambling market. Daniel has spent years researching online pokies, casino bonuses, payment methods, and licensing frameworks relevant to NZ players. All reviews, guides, and recommendations published on operaomnia.org reflect his personal assessments and professional judgment.

Our Affiliate Relationships

Operaomnia participates in affiliate marketing programmes with online casino and pokies operators. This means that when you click on certain links on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit with an operator, Operaomnia may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.

These commercial relationships help fund the ongoing operation of this site, including the time and resources required to research, test, and write independent reviews. Without this revenue, providing free, detailed content to NZ players would not be sustainable.

What Affiliate Links Are and How They Work

An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL. When you click one of these links, a small identifier is attached so that the operator knows the referral came from Operaomnia. If you sign up and meet certain conditions, such as making a qualifying deposit, the operator pays Operaomnia a commission. The process works as follows:

You click a link on operaomnia.org that leads to an online casino or pokies platform.
The operator records that your visit originated from Operaomnia using tracking technology.
If you register and complete a qualifying action, Operaomnia receives a referral payment.
You pay nothing extra. The price of any deposit or service remains identical for you regardless of whether you arrived via an affiliate link.

How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Editorial Independence

They do not. Daniel Hargreaves maintains full editorial independence on all content published on operaomnia.org. Affiliate commissions are never used as a basis for awarding higher scores, writing more favourable reviews, or featuring operators that do not meet our standards. Operators are reviewed and ranked based solely on merit.

Operaomnia does not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, guaranteed placements, or editorial endorsements. If an operator is found to treat players unfairly, withhold withdrawals without cause, or operate under questionable licensing conditions, it will be rated poorly or excluded from our recommendations, regardless of any existing commercial relationship.

Our Review Methodology

Every online pokies and casino review on Operaomnia follows a consistent, structured evaluation process. Daniel Hargreaves assesses each operator across the following criteria:

Licensing and regulation: Whether the operator holds a legitimate licence from a recognised authority relevant to NZ players.
Pokies game library: The quality, variety, and fairness of available pokie titles, including RTP rates where disclosed.
Bonuses and promotions: The genuine value of welcome offers and ongoing promotions after accounting for wagering requirements and terms.
Payment options: Availability of banking methods practical for New Zealand players, including deposit and withdrawal speeds.
Customer support: Responsiveness, availability, and helpfulness of support channels.
Responsible gambling tools: Presence and accessibility of features such as deposit limits, self-exclusion, and cooling-off periods.

FTC Compliance Statement

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with global best practices for transparent online publishing, Operaomnia clearly discloses all material connections between this site and third-party operators. Any content that includes or links to an operator with whom Operaomnia has a commercial relationship is considered a material connection under these guidelines.
