At Avalanchecoaching (avalanchecoaching.co.nz), we believe every reader deserves to know exactly how this website operates and how it earns revenue. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain, straightforward language so you can make fully informed decisions when reading our casino reviews and recommendations.
This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with applicable advertising standards and guidelines designed to protect consumers, including principles aligned with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials and New Zealand fair trading obligations.
Some of the links featured on avalanchecoaching.co.nz are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or gambling operator and subsequently sign up or make a deposit, Avalanchecoaching may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.
Here is what that process looks like in practice:
Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. Some casinos are referenced for informational purposes without any commercial arrangement in place.
The honest answer is: they do not affect our editorial content. Avalanchecoaching does not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, inflated ratings, or favourable recommendations. No casino operator is able to purchase a higher score or a more flattering write-up on this website.
Affiliate commissions are earned based on reader activity, not based on what we write. Our financial interest lies in providing accurate, trustworthy information that helps New Zealand players make smart decisions. Readers who feel misled do not return, and that outcome serves no one.
Ryan Ellerslie, the owner and primary author of avalanchecoaching.co.nz, is responsible for all casino reviews and ratings published on this site. Ryan approaches every review with a structured, independent methodology that evaluates each casino across a consistent set of criteria, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement exists.
Key factors assessed in every review include:
Casinos that fail to meet acceptable standards are rated accordingly, even when an affiliate relationship is in place. Ryan will recommend against a casino if the evidence supports that conclusion.
The New Zealand online casino market in 2026 is competitive, and players deserve guidance they can genuinely trust. Avalanchecoaching exists to provide that guidance. Commercial relationships with operators are a necessary part of sustaining this website, but they will never come before the interests of our readers.
If you have any questions about a specific affiliate relationship, a particular review, or how this site earns revenue, you are welcome to reach out directly through our contact page. We are committed to answering those questions honestly and promptly.
