Affiliate Disclosure
This site is funded through affiliate commission. This page explains how that works, what it means for you as a reader in New Zealand, and what it does not change about the information we publish on Royal Vegas Casino.
1. How this site is paid
When you click a button or link on this site that leads to Royal Vegas and then register an account, the site may receive a commission from the operator or its affiliate programme. Depending on the agreement, that commission can be a one-off payment per new player or a share of revenue from the referred account. There is no on-site display advertising, and no one pays to have content written about them. Who runs the site is described on the About page.
2. What it costs you
Nothing. The commission comes out of the operator's marketing budget, not your deposit. You get the same welcome package, the same terms and the same cashier whether you arrive through this site or go to Royal Vegas directly. If you prefer that no commission is credited, type the operator's address into your browser instead of using our links.
3. Why this is allowed to be neutral
A commission creates an incentive to make an operator look good, and we do not pretend otherwise. The counterweight is method. Every figure on the main page is tied to a named clause or policy, the terms that work against players are given as much space as the ones that help them, and claims we could not confirm are labelled as such. The full method is on the Editorial Policy page, and every claim on the main page is the responsibility of its named author, Dean Ryan.
4. What "not influencing the content" means in practice
- The operator does not review or approve pages before they are published.
- Unfavourable terms, such as 70x playthrough, the EUR 4,000 weekly cap after large wins and the inactivity fee, stay on the page.
- Corrections are made when the documents show we were wrong, whoever points it out; send them through the Contact page.
- Responsible gambling information and helplines appear on every page, even though they discourage some sign-ups.
5. Recognising affiliate links
On this site, buttons such as "Sign up", "Log in" and "Claim your bonus", and images that link to the operator, are affiliate links. They point to an internal /go address before forwarding you to Royal Vegas, and they carry rel="nofollow". Links to regulators, helplines and other public bodies are never affiliate links. Tracking after the click is described in the Cookie Policy, and we never receive your registration details, as the Privacy Policy explains.
6. Compliance with disclosure rules
New Zealand's Fair Trading Act 1986 prohibits misleading conduct in trade, and the Advertising Standards Authority expects advertising to be clearly identifiable as advertising. This page, the note in the site footer and the labelling above are how we meet those expectations. We also keep in mind the Department of Internal Affairs position that offshore operators must not advertise to people in New Zealand during the transition to licensing; this site is an independent information resource, and its pages describe terms rather than run promotional campaigns on the operator's behalf.
7. Commitments to readers
- We will always disclose that the site earns commission.
- We will not invent reviews, ratings or player testimonials.
- We will not present gambling as a way to make money.
- We will keep the sources named so you can check them yourself.
8. Wider context for readers
From 1 December 2026, only operators inside New Zealand's licensing process may continue serving New Zealanders, and from early 2027 licensed casinos will appear on a public register published by the Department of Internal Affairs. Check that register once it exists before depositing anywhere. If gambling stops being fun, the Gambling Helpline NZ is free and confidential on 0800 654 655, and more support is listed on the Responsible Gambling page.
