About Andrew Belford
The editor-in-chief oversees all casino content published for the New Zealand audience. With a background in digital publishing and consumer information, they set the standards every review must meet: verified facts, exact figures, plain language and no promotional tone. Nothing goes live without passing their desk.
They are responsible for the accuracy of licence numbers, bonus amounts, wagering requirements and timeframes as they appear on the page. They also make sure each review states weaknesses plainly and includes responsible gambling information where relevant. If a brand changes its terms, the editor-in-chief ensures the review is updated or withdrawn. Their priority is the reader, not the operator.
What Andrew checks before publication
Before publication, the editor-in-chief checks every figure against the source data: bonus amounts, wagering requirements, minimum deposits, withdrawal timeframes, RTP values and licence numbers must match exactly. They confirm that no claim appears without a verified source and that weaknesses are stated, not softened. Spelling, grammar and New Zealand English usage are corrected. They verify that responsible gambling information and helpline details are present, that partner links carry the nofollow attribute, and that the 18+ notice is visible.
