Our Affiliate Relationships

Protect Our Whakapapa (protectourwhakapapa.co.nz) is a participant in affiliate marketing programs operated by online casinos and gaming operators. When you click on certain links on our website and subsequently register or deposit with a casino operator, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you.

How Commissions Work

We receive compensation from casino operators when users access their platforms through our affiliate links. These commissions help fund the operation and maintenance of this website. You will never pay more or receive different terms because you've accessed a casino through our site.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, rankings, or reviews. We evaluate and rank casinos based on factors including player safety, game selection, customer service, licensing, and user experience. Our rankings reflect our honest assessment regardless of commission amounts or affiliate status. We may review casinos with which we do not have affiliate relationships.

Identifying Affiliate Links

Affiliate and sponsored links on our site are clearly identified with:

• The word "AFFILIATE LINK" or "SPONSORED" label
• Disclosure text near the link stating our affiliate relationship
• Visual indicators such as asterisks (*) or highlighted buttons

Regulatory Compliance

This disclosure complies with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Code of Ethics and New Zealand Consumer Law requirements for transparent advertising practices. We are committed to operating with integrity and ensuring all promotional content is clearly distinguishable from editorial content.

Your Responsibility

We encourage you to:

• Read all casino terms and conditions independently before registering
• Verify licensing and regulatory status directly with the relevant authorities
• Make gambling decisions based on your own research, not solely on our recommendations
• Gamble responsibly and within your means
• Seek help if you experience problem gambling through services like Gambling Helpline Aotearoa

Questions or Concerns

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or believe we have failed to disclose a material relationship, please contact us directly. We remain committed to transparency and ethical practices in all our operations.
