About Us
Who We Are
We are the independent editorial team behind thermostat.co.nz. Our site provides information and reviews only — we are not a gambling operator, and we do not offer any form of real-money gambling or betting services. Our focus is on helping readers in New Zealand understand the landscape of mobile pokies, from how games work to what to look for in a safe and reputable online casino.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help readers in NZ make informed, safe choices about mobile pokies. We review mobile pokies sites and games, explain key features such as bonuses, payment methods, and mobile compatibility, and highlight potential risks. We want every visitor to feel confident about what they are playing and where they are playing it.
What We Cover
Our content centres on mobile pokies in NZ. We cover a range of topics including:
- Reviews of mobile pokies casinos available to New Zealand players
- Guides to popular pokies games and their features
- Explanations of bonuses, wagering requirements, and promotions
- Mobile app and browser-based play comparisons
- Banking methods relevant to NZ players, including NZD support
- Safety, licensing, and fairness checks for online casinos
We keep our content practical and focused on the mobile experience, because that is how most players in New Zealand now access pokies.
Editorial Independence
We earn affiliate commissions from some of the casinos and services we review. This means that if you click certain links on our site and later sign up or deposit, we may receive compensation. However, those commissions do not influence our editorial rankings or reviews. Our reviews and recommendations are based on our own research, testing, and criteria for safety, fairness, mobile experience, and player value. We always aim to be transparent about how we operate.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
We believe gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money. All players must be 18 or older, or meet the local legal age for gambling in their region. We encourage readers to set limits on time and money, never chase losses, and take breaks when needed. If gambling stops being fun, we urge you to seek help from appropriate support services in New Zealand. Our content includes responsible gambling reminders and links to external help resources where relevant.
