Lead Reviewer · Casino Review Expert
Jack Walker
Years of NZ and AU online-gambling testing experience. Personally runs the deposit-and-withdraw testing for every operator on the site, plus the live-chat support stress-tests, the bonus playthrough, and the in-depth review write-ups.
Editor & Fact-Checker
Koa Rangi
Editorial backstop for every review and guide. Validates every factual claim against a primary source before publication and owns the “Last verified” date on each page.
Editorial Principles
Every Branders.nz review follows three rules:
- Real-money testing — we use our own funds (NZD or crypto) to test every operator. No spreadsheet reviews, no rewrites of operator marketing copy.
- Independent fact-check — every claim is fact-checked by a second human against a primary source before publication.
- Commercial firewall — affiliate relationships never change a rating. We’ve removed paying partners from the list before and we’ll do it again.
Read the full testing methodology for the seven criteria every operator passes (or fails) before earning a place on the site.
