At Ultramanix (ultramanix.com), honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to give you a clear and complete picture of how this website operates financially, and why that financial model does not compromise the integrity of our content. We believe you deserve to know exactly how we earn money and how those earnings relate to the recommendations and reviews you read here.
Ultramanix maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of online casino operators and pokie platforms that are available to players in New Zealand. An affiliate relationship means that when you click a link on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at a recommended casino, Ultramanix may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you whatsoever. You will not pay more for a deposit, a bonus, or any casino service because you arrived via a link on this site.
These affiliate arrangements are standard practice across the online casino review industry. They allow independent review websites like Ultramanix to fund the research, writing, and maintenance required to deliver quality content to readers free of charge.
In accordance with the guidelines set out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials, and in the spirit of consumer protection standards applicable in New Zealand and internationally, Ultramanix formally discloses the following:

Liam Thornton retains full editorial control over all content published on this site. No casino operator is permitted to review, approve, edit, or influence any content before or after publication.
To ensure that New Zealand players receive trustworthy and useful guidance, every pokie and casino reviewed on Ultramanix is evaluated using a consistent methodology. Key factors assessed in every review include:
