Who We Are

Betkiwi is an online casino and sportsbook resource for players from New Zealand. Our goal is to bring you honest reviews, tips, and helpful guides on the best online casino sites, slots and other casino games, bookmakers, payment methods, and bonuses for Kiwi players.

We take pride in being an impartial and independent source of information. Honesty and integrity are the heart of what we do and are two of our founding and core principles.

Here at Betkiwi, we leave no stone unturned. All our reviews are carried out by highly dedicated sports and casino experts who have personally tried out every platform they review. We strive to arm you with the knowledge you’ll need to make the most of your online gaming experience.

Betkiwi’s Core Values

Here at Betkiwi, everything we do is driven by five core values.

Trust and Transparency

Trust is a big word in the world of betting site reviews, and it’s easy to see why. It’s one thing to be a source of information but quite another to be a trusted source of information, and at Betkiwi, we strive to be the latter. Everything on this site is based on our extensive research, first-hand experience, and years of expertise and we are always open about every aspect of our work.

Integrity

We have set high standards across all aspects of our work, including a strong dedication to impartiality and objectivity. As a result, all our reviews are impartial and not affected by any outside influence. Betkiwi players should know that their interests will be looked after and protected at all times.

Responsibility

Betkiwi is a safe and secure site that complies with all laws and regulations. Before any sites are listed on our site, we conduct checks and research, ensuring they all meet our high industry regulations and standards. We will not list a website on Betkiwi unless we know it is safe, secure and properly licensed.

Player Safety

Our reputation is built upon trust and transparency, meaning we will not list any betting site that hasn’t passed our rigorous testing methodology. Some key checks include looking into the site’s wagering requirements and attitude towards responsible gambling practices.

Collaboration

Betkiwi places a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. We don’t just collaborate with various partners and stakeholders, but also amongst ourselves. Our casino and sportsbooks experts are masters of their fields but are also happy to collaborate with their colleagues, giving second opinions, and working together to bring you impartial reviews and opinion pieces.

What Do We Do?

Betkiwi is a casino and sportsbook review site, meaning we primarily review and promote casino and sportsbook services to New Zealand players. Here is an overview of our key activities:

We Analyse Casinos, Slots, & Sportsbooks & Give Them Ratings

We closely analyse all the gambling platforms listed on this website. We have dedicated teams regularly checking all aspects of the sites we recommend. These checks include the latest bonus offers, wagering requirements, license checks, and much more. We then formulate ratings to simplify our review processes and help you decide which casinos, sportsbooks, or games are worth your time.

We Categorise & Create Listings

We categorise our reviews to make it easier for you to decide which operator or game is best for you. Breaking down the betting sites into categories means you can easily find which casino is best for slots or live dealer games. With sportsbooks, you will instantly learn each bookie’s strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your needs. The same goes for our reviews of pokies and other casino games, payment methods, and casino bonus offers.

We Find the Best Bonuses and Promotions

To ensure that all the bonuses we talk about deliver what they claim to offer, we play through them ourselves. Our team of writers and researchers opens accounts, completes the KYC process, and then plays through the bonuses to test them. Doing this means that when we tell you an offer is good, we know for a fact that it is. Using this hands-on method also enables us to raise any issues we find with the relevant customer service team, ensuring that everything works as advertised before telling you about it.

We Analyse Various Payment Methods at Casinos

Our writers personally test the payment methods at casinos and sportsbooks we review to find the safest and most convenient ones for our players. We aim to give you the latest information about the availability, turnaround times, safety features, and everything else relevant to using these payment methods.

We Educate Players With Gambling Knowledge

At Betkiwi, we educate players about the various aspects of online gambling and betting, from gambling regulations to game mechanics. Our goal is to make you adequately prepared and armed with all the necessary knowledge to enjoy gaming or betting activities responsibly.

How Do We Do It?

At Betkiwi, we take pride in being honest and unbiased in our reviews, but also in providing detailed, well-researched, and up-to-date information.

Ensuring Legal Compliance for Safety

To safeguard our readers, we follow all the local jurisdiction guidelines and provide the latest and most up-to-date licensing information on all the casinos and sportsbooks listed on this website. We rigorously follow New Zealand’s gambling regulations, focusing on licensing and player safety measures, ensuring that the casinos and sportsbooks we recommend can provide players with a secure and compliant environment. You can learn more about our efforts on our Gambling Regulations page.

Empowering Kiwis with Knowledge

Through our Learning Hub, we aim to give players all the knowledge and tools they’ll need to make informed decisions when gambling or betting online. Besides the general topics you’ll find there such as how casino licensing works, our site also offers more specialised player guides, such as tips on blackjack or football betting.

Promoting Responsible Gambling Practices

Promoting responsible gambling practices is one of our core values, which is why we only review casinos with policies in place to combat underage and problem gambling, and our comprehensive lists and guides will help you choose from only trusted and licensed online casinos and sportsbooks.
Our goal is to keep our players informed and safe, so they can enjoy online gambling or sports betting without turning it into problematic behavior. Head to our Responsible Gambling Center to learn more.

Prioritising Environmental Sustainability

Here at Betkiwi, we are strongly dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint. We believe in achieving this reduction by showing innovation and acting responsibly, and we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously. In our quest to become ever more eco-friendly, we use measures such as green hosting, file compression, and image optimisation. You can read more about our efforts on our Environmental Pledge page.

Championing Accessibility

At Betkiwi, we are committed to making our content available to everyone, regardless of the challenges they may face. To achieve this, we conduct regular accessibility checks and work tirelessly to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2.

Initiatives such as alt text for images, enhanced colour contrast, and screen reader compatibility help us make the site more approachable and user-friendly to everyone. If you’re looking for more information, head on over to our Accessibility page.

Supporting Diversity and Inclusion

The team at Betkiwi strongly believes that everybody is entitled to their voice. We are committed to making our site a safe space for all, and a place where everyone can feel welcome, heard, and represented. You can find out more on our Diversity & Inclusion page.

How Do We Make Money?

Honesty and integrity are part of our core values, so we are happy to tell you that as an affiliate marketing site, we make our money any time you click on an affiliate link and make a deposit to that site. These are commissions paid to us by the casino or sportsbook, and they are used to help us continue providing you with high-quality content and maintaining this website. The key things to know are that a) this doesn’t cost you anything and b) it doesn’t influence our impartial reviewing process in any way.

Our Selection Process

Our primary goal is to recommend online casinos & sportsbooks that we genuinely believe are of high value. We understand that earning a commission from a casino or sportsbook might lead readers to believe this influences our lists and recommendations. However, we want to assure you this is not the case. All our reviews are unbiased and thorough. Our selections aren’t influenced by the amount of commission we receive but by the rigorous testing processes carried out by our impartial experts, which includes feedback from our readers and independent user reviews.

Media and Press

You can gain access to our brand assets from our Press Kit. Our media centre includes data on the permitted uses of our assets and contact information regarding interviews, blog posts and press releases.
