1. Affiliate Partnerships and Commissions
carnivalcharters.co.nz is an independent casino comparison and review platform. Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link to a sports betting site or online casino and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, we may receive a referral commission from the respective operator at no additional cost to you.
2. Editorial Independence and Integrity
While we earn affiliate commissions, our commercial partnerships do not influence our editorial standards, ratings, or recommendations. Our reviews, rankings, and analysis are carried out independently by our industry specialists based on objective criteria, including:
- Licensing and safety standards
- Game variety and software reliability
- Fairness of terms and bonus conditions
- Deposit and withdrawal speed (particularly with NZD payment options)
- Customer support quality
Operators cannot pay to guarantee a positive review, alter an assessment, or purchase a higher position in our recommended lists. If an operator fails to meet our safety and fairness standards, we will not endorse them to our Kiwi readers.

carnivalcharters.co.nz is committed to responsible advertising and operates in alignment with the fair trading standards and advertising codes relevant to New Zealand consumers:
- Fair Trading Act 1986: We comply with New Zealand consumer protection law by ensuring our reviews are genuine, transparent, and not misleading or deceptive.

5. Reader Responsibility and Safer Gambling
It is the responsibility of each individual player to ensure that online gambling is lawful within their local jurisdiction and that they meet the legal age requirements (18+ or 20+, depending on the activity/jurisdiction) before opening an account or wagering real money.
We strongly advocate for safe, responsible gambling. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not a way to generate income. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. If you or someone you know in New Zealand is struggling with gambling-related harm, confidential support is available 24/7:
