Independent $10 deposit casino reviews for New Zealand players. We test every casino with real money, publish transparent scores, and re-evaluate quarterly to keep our recommendations current and accurate.
We exist to give NZ players honest, data-driven information about online casinos. The online casino space is saturated with review sites that rank casinos based on whoever pays the highest commission. We take a different approach.
Every casino on our site goes through a standardised testing process using real money deposits. We deposit at every tier ($1, $5, $10), play through bonuses, attempt withdrawals, and document the entire experience. Our rankings are based on test results, not commercial relationships.
Our focus is the $10 deposit tier in New Zealand because it represents the sweet spot where bonuses, VIP access, and game selection converge. We also cover $5 and $1 deposits for players who want to test casinos before committing more.
Every claim on our site is backed by our own testing data. Bonus amounts, wagering requirements, withdrawal speeds, and VIP tiers are verified through real deposits, not copied from casino marketing materials.
We disclose our affiliate relationships, explain our testing process, and publish the criteria behind every ranking. If a casino pays us more, it does not rank higher. Period.
We only recommend licensed casinos and include responsible gambling resources on every page. If a casino fails our safety checks, it does not appear on our site regardless of bonus quality.

We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships with the casinos we review. When you click a link and register, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. This is standard practice in the casino review industry and is disclosed in the footer of every page.
However, affiliate revenue does not determine our rankings. Our testing methodology is applied uniformly. A casino that pays higher commissions does not receive a higher score. Several casinos have approached us with premium partnership offers, and we have declined when their test results did not meet our standards.
If a casino we currently recommend deteriorates in quality during our quarterly re-test, we lower its ranking or remove it entirely, regardless of the revenue impact.
Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income. Set deposit limits, take breaks, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, reach out for help.
