About us
Who runs the bottomdumper.co.nz casino desk
We are a four-person review desk based in New Zealand, working under the editorial responsibility of Cleo Martinborough. Between us we cover payments, pokie mathematics, licensing and mobile testing. Nobody on the desk writes about a brand they have not funded from their own NZD account, and no operator sees a review before it goes live.
How a casino earns a place in our ranking
A brand only enters the list once we have opened a real account, cleared identity checks, deposited through POLi or a card, played the lobby and requested a withdrawal. We record the licence number, the published RTP figures, the wagering multiplier and the time the cash-out actually cleared. Anything we cannot verify stays out of the review rather than being softened into a guess.
How we keep the ranking current
Bonus terms and payout windows change without notice, so every entry is re-tested on a rolling schedule and the date shown at the top of the ranking is the date of the last check. When an operator tightens its terms or slows down, the score moves and the review text is rewritten. We earn commission from some of the brands listed, and that never buys a position.
