Terms and Conditions

Effective date: January 2026

These terms and conditions govern your use of royalvegas-new-zealand.com (the "site"). The site is operated by Maria Bellringer as an independent review and information resource. It is not owned by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Royal Vegas Casino or its operator. By using this site, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the site.

These terms should be read alongside the Privacy Policy, which governs how we collect and use personal data. Where there is any conflict between these terms and the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy takes precedence in matters relating to personal data.

Who Can Use This Site

This site is intended for adults in New Zealand who are researching online casinos for their own information purposes. To use this site you must be at least 20 years of age — the minimum lawful gambling age in New Zealand — and you must not be a resident of any jurisdiction where accessing online casino review content is prohibited by law.

While the site is primarily aimed at New Zealand residents, it is accessible globally and carries no geo-restriction. If you are accessing the site from outside New Zealand, it is your responsibility to ensure that doing so, and any subsequent use of online gambling services you may discover through this site, complies with the laws of your local jurisdiction. We make no representation that the casinos reviewed on this site are lawfully available to players outside New Zealand.

By continuing to use this site, you confirm that you are of legal age, that you are accessing the site of your own volition for information purposes, and that you understand the nature of online gambling and its associated risks.

Acceptable Use

You may use this site to read reviews, access responsible-gambling information, contact the site operator with questions, and follow links to third-party casino sites for your own research. You may not use this site in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful to others, or that could damage the reputation or technical operation of the site.

Specifically, you must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site's hosting infrastructure; submit contact form messages containing malware, spam, or abusive content; scrape or systematically copy site content for commercial use without express written permission; or use any automated tool to interact with the site in a way that disrupts normal operation for other users.

We reserve the right to block access to users who breach these acceptable use conditions, and to report such breaches to relevant authorities where the activity may constitute a criminal offence under New Zealand law or the laws of the user's jurisdiction.

The review content on this site is published for informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes financial advice, gambling advice, or a recommendation to gamble. All decisions about whether to engage with online gambling, and how much to spend, are entirely at your own discretion and risk.

Our Affiliate Relationships

This site participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that when you click a link to Royal Vegas Casino on this site and subsequently register an account and make a qualifying deposit, we may receive a commission payment from the casino's affiliate programme. This commission is paid by the casino operator and does not add any cost to you as a player — it comes from the casino's own marketing budget.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the editorial content of any review on this site. Our review ratings, written assessments, and factual descriptions reflect independent research and personal testing. We have published negative findings about casinos with whom we have active affiliate agreements, and we have declined to publish reviews of casinos that offered elevated commission rates but failed our testing standards.

Affiliate relationships are the primary mechanism by which this site generates income to cover its operating costs. We believe it is important to disclose this clearly and without euphemism, so that readers can weigh our content with full knowledge of the commercial context. If you have any questions about our affiliate arrangements or how they relate to specific content on the site, please use the contact form.

We do not participate in any arrangements where commission rates are tied to review ratings or where casinos have any approval rights over published content. All affiliate agreements are for traffic referral only, with no editorial involvement by the casino operator.

Accuracy Disclaimer

We take accuracy seriously and invest significant time in verifying the information published on this site. However, online casinos are live products that change frequently — bonus terms are updated, payment methods are added or removed, RTP figures change with software updates, and customer support quality varies. While we conduct regular reviews and update content when material changes are identified, we cannot guarantee that every piece of information on this site is current at the precise moment you read it.

For critical decisions — such as whether a specific payment method accepts your card, what the exact wagering requirement is on a current bonus, or whether a game you want to play is available in New Zealand — you should always verify directly with the casino before committing funds. The casino's own terms and conditions, published in your account portal or linked from their promotions pages, are the authoritative source and will take precedence over any information on this site in the event of a discrepancy.

We correct confirmed errors as quickly as possible after they are identified. If you believe something on this site is incorrect, please use the error-reporting option in the contact form — we investigate every report.

Links to Other Sites

This site contains links to Royal Vegas Casino and, on the author biography page, references to other casinos reviewed by the author. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party website. Links are provided for informational convenience only and do not constitute an endorsement of the linked site or its operator beyond what is explicitly stated in our review content.

When you follow a link from this site to a casino or other third-party website, you leave our domain and your activity is governed entirely by that site's own terms and privacy policy. We encourage you to review those documents before registering an account or submitting any personal information.

We do not control, and are not responsible for, the availability, accuracy, or content of any linked external site. If a linked casino site is unavailable, has changed its terms, or engages in conduct you consider problematic, please let us know via the contact form so we can assess whether our review content needs to be updated.

Content Ownership

All original content on this site — including review text, headings, tables, and page structure — is the intellectual property of Maria Bellringer and is protected by New Zealand copyright law and applicable international copyright conventions. You may not reproduce, republish, redistribute, or commercially exploit any content from this site without express written permission from the author.

You may quote brief extracts for the purposes of commentary, criticism, or reporting, provided that the source is clearly attributed with a link to the original page on this site. This permission is limited to non-commercial use and does not extend to reproducing entire sections or pages of content.

Brand names, game titles, software provider names, and payment system names referenced on this site are the property of their respective owners and are used here purely for informational and descriptive purposes. Their use does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with those brand owners.

Liability Limitations

To the fullest extent permitted by New Zealand law, royalvegas-new-zealand.com and its operator Maria Bellringer accept no liability for any financial losses you incur as a result of gambling at any casino described or linked from this site; any reliance you place on information published on this site that turns out to be inaccurate or out of date; any inability to access this site or any linked third-party site; or any technical errors, interruptions, or data losses relating to your use of this site.

This site is an informational resource. It does not and cannot guarantee outcomes at any casino, and gambling inherently involves the risk of financial loss. You use this site and any casinos you discover through it entirely at your own risk.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable New Zealand law, including the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 where those acts apply to the provision of information services.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the way we operate the site, changes in applicable law, or other material developments. The current version's effective date is shown at the top of this page. We will note material changes at the bottom of this page for at least three months following any significant update.

Continued use of this site after a change in terms constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with a change, you should discontinue use of the site. For changes that you believe affect your rights in a meaningful way, you are welcome to contact us to discuss them before they take effect where possible.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. Any dispute arising from or relating to your use of this site or these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings in a different jurisdiction.

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. The unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed from these terms if modification is not possible.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and royalvegas-new-zealand.com with respect to your use of the site, and supersede any prior communications, representations, or agreements relating to that subject matter.
