Terms & Conditions: The Wilde Florist Website Terms of Use

Last updated: 24 June 2026

Written by the The Wilde Florist editorial team. For how we research and score operators, see How We Rate.

Welcome to The Wilde Florist ("we", "us", "our"), an independent information and comparison website operating at thewildeflorist.co.nz (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the Site. These Terms apply alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

1. About this Site and who we are

The Site provides editorial reviews, comparison tables, news and guides relating to online casinos, sportsbooks and crypto casinos that may be available to New Zealand residents. We are a publisher of information only. We are not a casino, bookmaker, payment provider or financial adviser, and nothing on the Site constitutes gambling, financial, legal or tax advice. The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) is the regulator responsible for gambling in New Zealand, and the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 introduces a new licensing regime (licence auction September 2026, regime live 1 December 2026). We reference these frameworks for context, but you remain responsible for confirming the current legal status of any operator before you sign up.

2. Eligibility and the 18+ requirement

You may use this Site only if you are at least 18 years of age and legally permitted to view gambling-related content where you live. By using the Site you confirm that you meet this requirement. Online gambling in New Zealand is restricted to adults, and operators are legally obliged to verify the age and identity of their customers. If you are under 18, you must leave the Site immediately. We make no attempt to target, and do not knowingly direct content to, anyone under the legal gambling age.

3. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Site lawfully and in good faith. When using the Site you must not:

• use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose, or in breach of New Zealand law;
• copy, scrape, republish, frame or systematically harvest our content, ratings or comparison data without our prior written permission;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its servers, or any connected systems, or interfere with their normal operation;
• introduce viruses, malware, bots or any other malicious or disruptive code;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organisation; or
• use any automated system to place unreasonable load on our infrastructure.

We reserve the right to restrict or withdraw access to the Site, in whole or in part, where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached.

4. Affiliate and advertising disclosure

The Wilde Florist is funded primarily through affiliate marketing. When you click certain links and subsequently register or deposit with an operator, we may receive a commission or other compensation from that operator. This is how we keep the Site free to use. Commercial relationships of this kind are disclosed throughout the Site, including in our footer.

Importantly, affiliate compensation does not determine our ratings, rankings or editorial opinions. Our scoring follows the published methodology on our How We Rate page, which weighs factors such as licensing, safety, payout speed, banking options and player support. Some operators we review pay us nothing, and some operators we choose not to recommend pay competitive commissions. Where an operator falls short, we say so — see our casinos to avoid list. Prices, bonuses and any commission amounts may be quoted in New Zealand dollars (NZD) and may include or exclude GST depending on the supplier; figures are illustrative and may change without notice.

5. Accuracy, no warranty and third-party offers

We work hard to keep the Site accurate and up to date, but the online gambling market in New Zealand changes constantly. Bonus amounts, free spins, wagering requirements, odds, payout times, accepted payment methods, licence status and operator availability can change at any time without notice. Information on the Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Where this Site quotes offers such as a "NZ$1,500 welcome bonus" or "200 free spins", these are examples of offers seen at the time of writing and are not guaranteed, not offers from us, and may have expired or changed. We are not responsible for the accuracy of third-party content, nor for any operator honouring any offer.

6. Third-party links

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including gambling operators and external resources. These links are provided for convenience and information only. We do not control, endorse (beyond our editorial assessment), or take responsibility for the content, products, services, security or privacy practices of any third-party site. Accessing third-party sites is entirely at your own risk, and any dealings you have with an operator — including registration, deposits, withdrawals and disputes — are solely between you and that operator. We strongly encourage you to verify that any operator holds appropriate New Zealand authorisation, distinguishing NZ-licensed operators from offshore sites, and to review their terms and privacy policy before sharing any personal or payment details.

7. Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including text, reviews, ratings, comparison tables, graphics, logos, layout and design — is owned by or licensed to The Wilde Florist and is protected by New Zealand and international intellectual property laws. You may view, download and print individual pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not otherwise reproduce, distribute, modify, sell or exploit any part of the Site without our prior written consent. Operator names, logos and trade marks displayed on the Site remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and editorial purposes only.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Wilde Florist, its owners and contributors will not be liable for any loss or damage — whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise — arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site, or from your reliance on any information published on it. This includes, without limitation, gambling losses, losses arising from inaccurate or outdated information, and losses arising from your dealings with any third-party operator.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any rights or remedies you may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986 or any other New Zealand law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where we are unable to exclude liability but are able to limit it, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Privacy

We handle personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. Details of what we collect and how we use it are set out in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which form part of these Terms.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the law or the New Zealand regulatory environment. The current version always governs your use of the Site, and the "Last updated" date above shows when it last changed. Your continued use of the Site after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. You agree that the courts of New Zealand have exclusive jurisdiction to determine any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site.
