At Encountersuccess (encountersuccess.co.nz), transparency is fundamental to everything we publish. This page explains exactly how our website generates revenue, how affiliate relationships work, and why those relationships never influence the honest, independent reviews written by site owner and author Brendan Tūhoe.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this website.
An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a content publisher and a third-party business. When Encountersuccess includes a link to an online casino operator, that link may contain a unique tracking code. If you click that link and subsequently sign up or make a deposit at the casino, Encountersuccess may receive a commission payment from the operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you as the player.
This type of arrangement is standard practice across the online casino review industry and is fully compliant with applicable advertising and consumer disclosure guidelines, including the principles set out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and relevant New Zealand consumer protection standards.
Links to online casino operators on encountersuccess.co.nz may be affiliate links. Specifically, you should be aware of the following:
No. Affiliate commissions have zero influence on the editorial content published on Encountersuccess. Brendan Tūhoe evaluates every online casino independently, applying a consistent review methodology regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists with the operator.
Brendan has spent years researching and playing at online casinos across the New Zealand market. His assessments are based on direct, hands-on experience and objective criteria. Positive or negative conclusions in any review reflect genuine findings, not financial incentives.
Every casino reviewed on Encountersuccess is evaluated against a defined set of criteria designed to protect and inform Kiwi players. These criteria include:
Casinos that do not meet our minimum standards are not recommended, regardless of whether they offer an affiliate programme or a competitive commission rate.
Brendan Tūhoe is the sole author and owner of Encountersuccess. His reviews reflect personal expertise built through direct engagement with the New Zealand online gambling market. No operator is able to purchase a positive review, alter editorial conclusions, or influence star ratings on this website.
If Brendan's assessment of a particular casino changes following further testing or new information, the review will be updated to reflect that change honestly and promptly.
If you have any questions about how affiliate relationships work on this website, or if you would like to understand how a specific recommendation was reached, you are welcome to contact Brendan Tūhoe directly through the contact page at encountersuccess.co.nz.
