About us
districtapparel.co.nz is an independent comparison desk covering online casinos that accept New Zealand players. We are not an operator, we take no deposits and we hold no gambling licence. Our work is to gather the figures a Kiwi player needs before opening an account, publish them side by side, and update them when an operator changes its terms.
How our ranking is put together
Every brand on the homepage is scored on seven weighted checks: licence and regulator, acceptance of New Zealand accounts, NZD payment coverage including POLi, published withdrawal windows, mobile performance, game library size and the real value of the welcome offer once wagering is applied. Scores move when the underlying facts move, not when an operator asks.
Who writes the reviews
Reviews carry a named byline. Rafferty Kohatu edits the ranking, and four specialists contribute the sections closest to their field: Roland Whakaki on payments and support, Verity Ngakuru on bonus terms, Peri Waimahaka on licensing and account security, and Loman Otuwhero on pokies, RTP figures and studio catalogues.
How this site is funded
Some links on this site are commercial. If a reader opens an account through one of them, we may receive a fee from the operator. That fee never changes a score, a ranking position or the drawbacks we publish, and it costs the reader nothing. Where a brand has a genuine weakness, we name it in the review.
