About Andrew Belford
The editor-in-chief oversees all casino content published for the New Zealand audience. The role sits between the writer and the reader: every review, guide and comparison passes across this desk before it goes live. The editor-in-chief sets the editorial standards for the site and makes sure each page meets them.
The focus is accuracy and neutrality. Figures such as bonus amounts, wagering requirements, licence numbers and payout timeframes must match the source data exactly. Promotional language is removed, weaknesses are kept in, and responsible gambling information is checked on every page. If an operator changes its terms, the relevant review is updated or corrected.
What Andrew checks before publication
Before publication, the editor-in-chief checks every figure against the verified source data: licence numbers, bonus amounts, wagering requirements, minimum deposits and withdrawal timeframes. The tone is reviewed to remove promotional language and empty superlatives. Spelling and grammar are proofread to New Zealand English standards. Responsible gambling information, the 18+ notice and support organisation references are confirmed on every page. Partner links are checked for the nofollow attribute. Only then is the page approved for release.
