Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is at the heart of what we do at onlinekeno.co.nz. To ensure we can continue providing high-quality, free Keno strategies and reviews for the New Zealand community, we want to be fully open about how this website is funded.
How We Earn Commissions
This website contains “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on a link to a Keno site or casino and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, we may receive a commission or referral fee from that provider.
Importantly:
- No Extra Cost to You: Using our links does not cost you anything extra. In many cases, it actually gives you access to exclusive welcome bonuses (within the legal NZ limit of $100) that aren’t available to the general public.
- Independence: Our reviews are based on our own 2026 testing criteria, including payout speeds, 5G mobile performance, and Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) licensing status. We do not allow any provider to “buy” a positive review.
2026 Regulatory Compliance
As of the implementation of the Online Casino Gambling Bill in 2026, New Zealand has established some of the world’s strictest advertising standards for online gambling. We adhere to these rules strictly:
- Licensed-Only Recommendations: We only feature and link to the 15 platforms that have been officially licensed to operate in New Zealand this year. You can also explore our list of top casinos.
- No Paid Endorsements: In accordance with 2026 law, we do not use social media influencers or “celebrity picks” to promote Keno. All our advice is based on data and gameplay experience.
- Advertising Prohibitions: We ensure that our links and marketing materials do not appear on sites targeting minors and that our harm minimisation messaging meets the mandatory 10% visibility rule. For more guidance, see our responsible gambling page.
Why We Use the Affiliate Model
Maintaining a database of live Keno jackpots, verifying the latest POLi payments, and monitoring the Christchurch-based support of 15 different platforms requires significant resources. The commissions we earn allow us to:
- Employ local experts based at our Addington, Christchurch office.
- Keep our site free from intrusive “pop-up” ads that ruin the user experience.
- Conduct regular security audits on the sites we recommend to ensure they remain safe for Kiwi players.
Your Choice
You are under no obligation to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can navigate directly to any of the 15 licensed Keno sites by typing their web address into your browser. However, using our links supports onlinekeno.co.nz and helps us keep providing the most accurate, up-to-date Keno information in Aotearoa. If you need help, feel free to contact us.
