Unpacified (unpacified.com) maintains affiliate relationships with a number of online casino and pokie operators reviewed on this website. This means that when you click a link to an online casino on Unpacified and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Unpacified may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as international best practices for transparent online publishing. We believe you have the right to know exactly how this website operates and how it earns revenue.
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies Unpacified as the source of a visitor referral to an online casino or pokie platform. When you click one of these links, the destination website recognises that you arrived via Unpacified. If you go on to sign up or deposit, we may receive a financial reward from that operator.
Affiliate links on Unpacified are used to:
Not every link on Unpacified is an affiliate link. Some operators are referenced for informational or comparative purposes without any commercial arrangement in place.
They do not. The existence of an affiliate relationship with an operator has absolutely no influence on the scores, ratings, or written assessments published on Unpacified. A casino that pays a higher commission does not receive a more favourable review. Equally, an operator with no affiliate arrangement is evaluated on exactly the same terms as one that generates revenue for this site.
Every review published on Unpacified reflects the honest, independent opinion of Liam Hargreaves, based on direct evaluation of each platform. If a casino underperforms in any area, that finding is reported accurately and transparently, regardless of any commercial relationship.
Liam Hargreaves evaluates each online pokie platform using a consistent, structured methodology designed to give New Zealand players reliable and actionable information. Key assessment criteria include:
No operator is given a favourable rating simply because an affiliate relationship exists. Platforms that fail to meet acceptable standards across these criteria will be rated accordingly or removed from recommendation lists entirely.
