About us
Who runs parawera.co.nz
Parawera is a two-person review desk based in New Zealand, funded by affiliate commission and nothing else. Tobias Manaia carries editorial responsibility for what appears on this domain, and Marcus Ohura handles the cashier testing. Neither of us takes payment for a ranking position, and no operator sees a review before it is published.
How a casino gets onto our ranking
A brand only reaches the shortlist once it accepts New Zealand registrations, quotes balances in NZD and publishes a licence we can look up. From there we open a funded account, run a deposit through POLi or a card, play the lobby and request a withdrawal. The score that follows weighs the licence, the cashier, the published return figures, the mobile experience and the bonus terms.
What we cannot promise you
We report on offers as operators state them, and operators change them without warning. Bonus percentages, spin counts and payout windows quoted on this site are checked on a rolling schedule, not continuously, so read the terms on the casino page before you deposit. Nothing here is financial advice, and no ranking makes a losing session less likely.
Corrections and updates
If a figure on this site is wrong, we would rather hear it than leave it standing. Every correction we accept is applied to the page and to the comparison table at the same time, so the two never drift apart. Reach us through the contact page and expect a reply within two working days.
