About Us - Our Mission
CasinoAlpha New Zealand is an independent affiliate site providing unbiased, transparent reviews of licensed online casinos. Founded in 2021 by Tudor Turiceanu under Extremoo Marketing, we deliver fact-checked reviews to help you make informed gambling decisions. We focus on transparency, player safety, and detailed assessments of payment options, game variety, and bonus terms.
Meet CasinoAlpha New Zealand
CasinoAlpha operates as an independent online casino review platform under the organisational structure of Extremoo Marketing SRL, which is a Romanian-registered entity with the legal identifier J23/6289/2017 and VAT code RO38630895. Our organizational type is classified as an affiliate information service, where the primary focus of our business model is on transparency, as we clearly disclose all commission relationships while keeping our editorial independence as a core operational principle you will find detailed in our Advertiser Disclosure.
Our organization started the activity in 2016 and surely has evolved into a reliable online resource with over 600 detailed casino reviews, more than 900 published educational articles, and a team with over 30 gambling industry specialists.
Our New Zealand platform, launched in 2021, focuses on evaluating international operators serving NZ players, with NZD currency support, local payment methods accepted, and compliance with New Zealand’s regulatory framework that the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) oversees.
In our mission, we focus on these aspects: offering players data-driven analysis, always prioritizing player protection over financial gain, and keeping our editorial independence no matter the financial gain. By doing so, we faced multiple instances where we rejected partnership opportunities with operators offering high commissions, but they were mostly failing our quality standards, and this feature distinguishes our work, outlined in our Editorial Policy.
What makes us different from other sites is our methodology that we use: a 47-factor evaluation system, which we apply across six major analytical categories, pointing out factors relevant to New Zealand players, including the NZD currency availability, local payment method support (including POLi and bank transfers), customer support in NZST time zones, and sites’ compliance with New Zealand gambling legislation.
For each review, we follow a verification process that includes: at least 2 expert analysis, receiving the CEO’s final approval, and regular updates of the content from our reviewed casinos to make sure they are up-to-date. Learn more about How We Review casinos.
Throughout our work, we focus on understanding the uniqueness of New Zealand’s gambling industry, that do not offer domestic operators, and this means that players must access international offshore casinos. Nevertheless, we focus on what the NZ player needs, safety standards, and how compatible the local payment options are.
What We Do
CasinoAlpha’s content creation focuses on 4 primary services, and each has its own features that are exclusively designed for New Zealand players.
NZ Casino Review System
CasinoAlpha NZ has developed a system with 47 evaluation factors across 6 important topics:
- Security features (licensing verification from reputable jurisdictions, SSL encryption protocols, data protection standards, fair gaming certifications)
- Payment options (processing speed, fee structures, withdrawal limits via NZ-friendly payment methods, including POLi, bank transfers, e-wallets supporting NZD)
- Game portfolio (quantity, quality, RTP disclosures, game variety suitable for NZ players)
- Bonus terms (wagering requirements, NZD currency terms, realistic conversion potential, withdrawal restrictions)
- Customer support service (availability during NZST hours, live chat accessibility, email response quality, helpfulness to New Zealand players)
- User experience (mobile optimization, NZD currency display, intuitive interface design, site performance from New Zealand)
For each review, we go through multiple verification tests, which at least 2 experts follow, and receive the final approval from the CEO before publishing a page. You can explore our A-Z casino list or check our ranking of the best online casinos for New Zealand players.
Our Bonus Analysis
For each bonus we list, we create new accounts on the casino sites and make real deposits via NZD payments. We follow the terms when claiming the offer, complete the wagering, and document the withdrawal process via the banking options. This way, we can inform players about hidden features, such as high wagering requirements, game contribution manipulation, and short promotional lifetimes that operators sometimes apply.
We present the terms as they are and explain each specification, including how real is the conversion os a bonus into withdrawable cash in NZ dollars. Browse our no deposit bonuses, free spins offers, or explore casino bonus codes.
Our Ranking and Comparison
Our scoring algorithm includes 47 factors where we look at player protection features, licensing validity, and New Zealand player compatibility. Our rankings emphasize how casinos really perform in terms of:
- Licensing jurisdiction quality
- Bonus fairness and transparency
- Mobile optimisation for NZ users
- Withdrawal speed via the NZ banking options
- Game diversity and provider quality
- Support responsiveness during New Zealand time zones
- NZD currency support
By comparing casinos side-by-side across security, payment, and bonuses, NZ players can find the ones relevant for their needs. Check our new online casinos, best live casinos, or minimum deposit casinos.
NZ Player Education Service
Our content on the site is divided into four types:
- Player guides: here we cover the casino selection for NZ players, understanding offshore operator evaluation, bankroll management in NZD, and navigating international casino terms
- Legal guides: we explain the New Zealand gambling legislation, DIA oversight scope, your player rights when you access offshore operators, and responsible gambling tools
- Responsible gambling resources: we identify and present to you addiction warning signs, self-exclusion options, strategies to manage your bankroll, and present New Zealand-specific support services
- Industry insights: we focus on exposing house edge calculations, RTP manipulation concerns, bonus term psychology, and withdrawal delay tactics that can affect New Zealand players who access international operators

Markets & Coverage
We cover 6 different markets at CasinoAlpha, and New Zealand represents the Oceanic operation that serves NZ players.
New Zealand – Our Oceanic Market
In 2021, we established casinoalpha.com/nz/, and this page focuses only on the regulatory scene where the New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) oversees domestic gambling, while international online casinos operate offshore and address NZ players.
Throughout our content, we analyze the offshore casinos available for New Zealand players by following these criteria:
- Reputable licensing from jurisdictions like Malta, Curaçao, or Gibraltar
- Full NZD currency support
- Local payment method compatibility, including POLi payments, New Zealand bank transfers, and e-wallets accepting NZD
- Customer support availability during NZST business hours
- Mobile optimisation for devices popular in New Zealand
- Fair bonus terms applicable to NZD transactions
In our content, we apply the New Zealand English spelling and grammar conventions, emphasize payment methods accessible to NZ players, and display all values in New Zealand dollars (NZD). We only prioritize operators that demonstrate they are committed to fair gaming, transparent terms, and responsive support for the New Zealand market.
United Kingdom
In 2019, we launched casinoalpha.com/uk/, and for this market, we exclusively focus on UKGC-licensed casinos that follow the strict regulatory requirements to serve British players.
Ireland
Our casinoalpha.ie/ platform has been operating since 2022, and focuses on the evolving domestic gambling legislation where Irish operators have licenses from multiple jurisdictions.
Japan
In 2024, we expanded via casinoalpha.com/jp/, where we use Japanese language content in analyzing the international casino sites that serve Japanese players.
Latin America
Through casinoalpha.com/es/, a site we also launched in 2024, we provide Spanish-language coverage across multiple LATAM jurisdictions.
New Zealand Market Specialisation
Our NZ-focused website understands the tricky situation NZ players are in when dealing with overseas gambling regulators, since New Zealand doesn’t have its own online casino licensing system. That’s why we fill this gap by carefully checking out offshore gambling sites to see if they’re right for New Zealand players, looking closely at whether they’re safe, fair, accept NZ dollars, and work with NZ payment methods.
Extremoo Marketing Group - Parent Company
Extremoo Marketing SRL functions as our parent corporation, offering the organisational infrastructure and legal framework through which CasinoAlpha operates. The corporate registration includes Romanian jurisdiction establishment under company number J23/6289/2017, VAT identification code RO38630895, and WIPO trademark registration under index code M 2021 05253. All these legal identifiers mean that our business is legitimate and recognised internationally.
Founded in 2016, Extremoo’s eight-year timeline spans a specialised focus on the gambling industry affiliate marketing, with our 2021 New Zealand market entry marking our strategic commitment to helping NZ players who are navigating the international offshore casinos. We focus on digital marketing services within the online gambling sector, where we’ve developed partnerships with over 600 casino operators globally while preserving our editorial independence. This independence prevents any partnership influence on our content ratings, which is essential when we evaluate offshore operators for New Zealand players who need a trustworthy guidance.
The corporate value framework includes many cultural elements: maintaining high professional standards for how our team works together and communicates with others outside the company, protecting our reputation by choosing long-term trust with NZ readers over making quick money, promoting people based on how well they do their job rather than how long they’ve been here or who they know, and paying for our staff to keep learning new things including understanding international gambling rules that affect New Zealand players.
We are completely transparent about how we earn our commission through affiliate links, and you can access all the details in our Advertiser Disclosure. We keep our editorial independence and have documented rejections of partnerships with operators that failed our quality standards. Also, we focus on delivering reader-first content and building trust rather than earning a commission.
All of these ethical principles translate into our operational decisions, as follows: we have rejected those operators that offered high commission rates due to their questionable licensing or unfair terms, we published reviews of how qualitative the casinos really performed despite partnering with them, and maintained our negative ratings no matter their offers of improved commission terms.
The corporate verification includes Dun & Bradstreet business directory listing providing third-party legitimacy confirmation, WIPO trademark protection establishing our intellectual property rights, EU regulatory compliance, including how we adhere to GDPR data protection (see our Privacy Policy), and standard corporate governance, including financial auditing and tax compliance. These verification sources help New Zealand stakeholders to confirm our legitimate operational status beyond just self-reported claims.
Extremoo’s affiliate business model operates on disclosed commission structures where we receive referral fees when readers sign up at casinos by using our links from the reviews. What transparency means for us is that we clearly tell readers about our business arrangements upfront, while our ethical rules make sure that how much commission we might earn doesn’t affect how we rate gambling sites. We use the same 47-point checklist to score every operator fairly, whether they pay us or not, and no matter how much they offer.

F.A.Q.
What is CasinoAlpha New Zealand?
CasinoAlpha New Zealand is an independent review site run by Extremoo Marketing SRL that checks out overseas online casinos for NZ players. We test casinos using 47 different factors, looking at aspects such as their licenses, how they protect players, whether they accept NZ dollars, and if they work with NZ banks. Yes, we make money when people sign up through our links, but we stay honest. As an example, we’ve turned down lucrative partnerships with some casinos and given honest reviews to partners who treat NZ players unfairly. We’ve been helping New Zealand players since 2021, so we’ve got over 4 years of experience in the NZ gambling scene.
How do you make money?
We earn commission when people sign up to casinos through our links, and we are clearly transparent about this on every page. But here’s the thing: how much we get paid doesn’t change our ratings. We use the same 47-point checklist for every casino, focusing on proper licenses and fair treatment of NZ players. Want proof? We’ve published not-so-positive reviews of casinos that pay us, turned down big amounts from unfair operators, and kept low ratings even when casinos offered us more cash to change them.
Can I trust your New Zealand casino reviews?
Yes. Every review needs at least two experts plus our CEO to check it before publishing. We actually test everything ourselves as NZ players would: opening real accounts, depositing NZ dollars through NZD payment methods, claiming bonuses, meeting wagering requirements, and withdrawing money through NZ banks. We’ve been using the same testing method since 2021 without any credibility issues. You can see exactly how we test casinos in our How We Review section, so you can judge for yourself if we’re being fair.
How do you test casinos for New Zealand players?
We sign up like regular players without telling them we’re reviewers, deposit real money in NZD using NZ payment methods (POLi, bank transfers, e-wallets that support NZD), claim and test bonuses following their rules, complete wagering requirements, withdraw NZ dollars and time how long it takes through NZ banks, contact support during NZ business hours using different methods, check all the fine print for any hidden terms, verify their licenses are real through official databases, and check their security including encryption and testing certificates.
Do casinos pay for better ratings?
The answer is no. Our 47-point system treats every casino the same, checking licenses and fairness no matter who pays us what. We’ve given bad ratings to casinos that pay us when they lowered their standards, said no to high amounts from operators who treat players unfairly, and kept low ratings even when casinos offered us more money. Our CEO checks all content to prevent any corruption at the analyst level. Our business relies on NZ readers trusting us, not fake high ratings.
How often do you update New Zealand casino reviews?
Critical factors affecting players from New Zealand (license suspensions, payment failures to NZ accounts, security breaches, and major rule changes) get updated straight away by our experts. Every three months, we re-check all casinos serving NZ players. Monthly, we verify that bonuses still work and NZD payments process properly. Every two months, we check for new games and payment methods. When NZ players report problems, we investigate within 48 hours. Each review shows when we last checked it. We update our casino rankings every 15 days to reflect what’s happening for NZ players.
What licensing jurisdictions do you recommend for New Zealand players?
We prefer casinos licensed by respected authorities like Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), Curaçao eGaming, and Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. These regulators make sure games are fair, handle complaints, and watch over casinos properly, and this gives protection to players, including the ones from New Zealand. We check that licenses are real and current through official databases and that is even before recommending any casino. Casinos with questionable or no licenses get warnings in our reviews, because NZ players deserve to know about license quality that affects their safety and options if things go wrong.
Do you review casinos accepting NZD?
Yes, accepting NZ dollars is a big part of what we check. We test real NZD deposits and withdrawals, check that exchange rates are fair when currency is converted, and see if bonuses work properly with NZD. Casinos that properly support NZD rank higher because NZ players don’t have to pay conversion fees or worry about exchange rates. We clearly show which currencies each casino accepts so you can make informed choices.
How can I report a problem with a casino as a New Zealand player?
Email support@casinoalpha.com with the casino name, what went wrong playing from NZ, and any proof (screenshots, transaction records, emails). We’ll look into it within 48 hours, ask the casino for their side, check if other NZ players have the same problem, and update our review if the issue is real. And in case the disputes are even more serious, we can explain how to complain to the casino’s licensing authority. We provide information rather than solve disputes directly, but we can point you to the right complaint channels based on where the casino is licensed. Check our Contact page for other ways to reach us.
Do you provide gambling advice for New Zealand players?
We provide honest casino analysis for operators serving players in New Zealand, educational content explaining how to evaluate offshore casinos through our guides, help understanding bonus terms and wagering requirements, and responsible gambling resources. We DON’T provide: guarantees you’ll win, betting tips, get-rich-quick strategies, legal advice about NZ gambling law, financial advice, or encouragement to gamble more than you can afford. We’re here to inform and educate about player safety, not operate casinos or give professional gambling advice. Players should gamble responsibly within their budget.
How can New Zealand players contact you?
For general support, email support@casinoalpha.com, and we’ll respond within 24-48 hours (NZ time zone friendly). Media enquiries should go to media@casinoalpha.com, while licensed operators interested in partnerships can reach us at partnerships@casinoalpha.com. If you’re looking for work (we consider NZ-based roles), send your details to careers@casinoalpha.com. We reply to all genuine enquiries from NZ players within 24-48 hours, though complicated investigations might take longer.
