Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: 2026
What This Disclosure Covers
Cloud99NZ.com ("we," "us," "our," or "the Site") is committed to transparency regarding our business relationships and revenue sources. This disclosure explains how we earn money and how that may relate to the content we publish.
Affiliate Commissions
Cloud99NZ.com earns affiliate commissions when readers click on casino links featured in our reviews and guides and subsequently sign up for accounts or make deposits at those online casinos. These commissions are paid by the casinos and gaming operators we review, and they represent a material source of revenue for our Site.
Our Editorial Independence
We want to be absolutely clear: our receipt of affiliate commissions does not influence our editorial rankings, reviews, or recommendations. Our casino reviews are based on independent evaluation of factors including:
- Game selection and software quality
- Licensing and regulatory compliance in New Zealand
- Player safety and data protection measures
- Customer support responsiveness
- Bonus terms and conditions fairness
- User experience and site functionality
We review casinos we do not earn commissions from, and we exclude casinos with poor practices regardless of commission potential.
Identifying Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on Cloud99NZ.com are identified by:
- Clear "Play Now" or "Visit Casino" buttons
- Contextual disclosure language near the link indicating it is an affiliate link
- Hover tooltips on desktop (where applicable)
Any sponsored content or casino partnerships will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "Featured Partner" at the top of the relevant section.
New Zealand Compliance
This disclosure complies with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Code of Ethics and the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (NZ), which require clear and honest disclosure of commercial relationships. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and consumer protection in accordance with New Zealand law.
Your Responsibility
While we provide honest reviews and rankings, you are responsible for your own research and decisions. We encourage you to:
- Review each casino's terms and conditions independently
- Verify licensing credentials through official regulators
- Gamble only what you can afford to lose
- Seek help from Problem Gambling Support services if needed
