Last updated: January 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on Tktrans (tktrans.co.nz), authored and managed by James Wilson.
At Tktrans, honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. Before you read any of our online pokies NZ reviews or follow any of our recommendations, we want you to fully understand how this website operates financially and how that relationship affects — or more accurately, does not affect — the content you read.
Some of the links found on tktrans.co.nz are affiliate links. An affiliate link is a specially tracked hyperlink that identifies Tktrans as the source of a referral to a third-party online casino or pokies platform. When you click one of these links and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit at that casino, Tktrans may receive a commission payment from the operator at no additional cost to you.
These commissions are a standard and widely used practice across online publishing. They allow websites like ours to remain free to access for New Zealand players while continuing to produce detailed, research-driven content.
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the editorial content produced on Tktrans. Every review, rating, and recommendation is written independently by James Wilson based on direct research, platform testing, and objective analysis.
Casinos that fail to meet our standards for fairness, licensing, player protection, or software quality will receive critical assessments regardless of any financial arrangement. Equally, platforms with no affiliate agreement in place are reviewed and recommended if they genuinely serve NZ players well. The integrity of the review comes before any commercial consideration.
James Wilson evaluates each online pokies platform against a consistent set of criteria developed specifically for the New Zealand market. This includes:
No casino receives a recommendation unless it meets the minimum acceptable standard across all of these areas.
James Wilson is the author and owner of Tktrans. He has spent years researching the New Zealand online gambling landscape, with a specific focus on pokies platforms available to NZ-based players. His reviews are based on hands-on testing and ongoing monitoring of operators, not promotional material supplied by casinos themselves. His goal is to give New Zealand players the factual, honest information they need to make informed decisions.
If you have any questions about how affiliate relationships work on this site, or if you would like clarification on any aspect of our editorial process, please contact us directly through the contact page on tktrans.co.nz. We are happy to explain our practices in full.
