Affiliate Disclosure

    Last updated: January 2026

    Transparency and trust are paramount to us at shopbaysiderum.com. In accordance with digital advertising standards and local consumer protection principles, this Affiliate Disclosure explains how our website operates, earns revenue, and maintains editorial integrity when reviewing and recommending New Zealand gambling sites.

    Affiliate Commissions

    shopbaysiderum.com is an independent review website that participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links directing you to online casino operators or sportsbooks and subsequently sign up or make a deposit, we may receive a monetary commission at no additional cost to you.

    Editorial Independence

    While affiliate partnerships help fund our website operations and allow us to provide free, comprehensive content to Kiwis, our reviews, ratings, and rankings are 100% independent. Commercial agreements do not influence our editorial assessments. Our recommendations are determined solely by our evaluation criteria, including licensing, game fairness, payout speeds, customer support, and responsible gambling measures. If an operator fails to meet our standards, we will not rank it favourably, regardless of commercial relationships.

    Identifying Affiliate Links

    You can identify affiliate links on shopbaysiderum.com through the following indicators:

    Regulatory Compliance & New Zealand Standards

    We are dedicated to meeting international best practices and domestic standards relevant to New Zealand consumers, including the principles set out by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) of New Zealand regarding identification of advertising, and the Fair Trading Act. We ensure our content is not misleading, that commercial arrangements are transparently conveyed, and that all promotional material aligns with relevant legal expectations.

    Reader Responsibility & Responsible Gambling

    While we strive to provide accurate, up-to-date information regarding online casinos available to players in New Zealand, terms and conditions change frequently. It is your responsibility to review and confirm the terms, conditions, wagering requirements, and legal eligibility criteria directly on the operator's website before participating.

    Gambling involves financial risk and may become addictive. You must be at least 18 or 20 years of age (depending on the operator's regulatory jurisdiction) to gamble online. Please gamble responsibly. If you or someone you know is affected by problem gambling in New Zealand, free and confidential support is available 24/7 through the Gambling Helpline NZ at 0800 654 655.
