About us
Fireworks NZ is a small independent review desk writing for New Zealand players only. Tessa Hokianga carries editorial responsibility for what is published here, working with four reviewers who each own a specialism: payments, bonus terms, game mathematics and licensing.
Our ranking of ten casinos is built on seven scored criteria, in this order of weight: licence and regulator, acceptance of New Zealand players, NZD payment methods, measured withdrawal time, mobile experience, bonus conditions and responsible gambling tools. No brand enters the list until someone on the desk has funded an account in New Zealand dollars and taken a withdrawal back out.
We earn commission when a reader opens an account through our links. That pays for the testing, and it changes nothing in the scores: the withdrawal window, the wagering multiplier and the licence printed in each review are the figures we recorded, including the unflattering ones. Terms move often, so every review is re-checked on a rolling schedule and the date of the last check stays visible on the home page.
