Q: What was your best gambling experience?

I'll always remember the time I put my first bet on a horse on the Grand National. With it being an underdog, I didn't expect it to have a chance. You can imagine my excitement when it came from 10th place to finish 3rd. While not a big win, it was certainly an exciting race to watch.

Q: What’s your favourite game?

I’ve always had a soft spot for Lightning Roulette. I like that it blends the classic casino feel with a modern twist that keeps things interesting.

Q: What’s your favourite casino?

It changes depending on payouts and promotions, but I rate sites that combine fast withdrawals with strong mobile play. Those are the ones I always stick with.

Q: What’s the first thing you check when reviewing a new site?

Payment methods and withdrawal times. If the cashier isn’t up to scratch, the rest of the site doesn’t matter much.

Q: Have you ever spotted something to stop you recommending a casino?

Yes, usually hidden terms or sudden changes to withdrawal policies. Those are deal-breakers for me.

What makes George an expert?

George combines linguistic expertise, years of industry insight at top names, and a user-first approach to create content that stands out for accuracy and transparency. With hundreds of bonus checks and casino reviews under his belt, he ensures New Zealand players get locally relevant information they can trust.

“When I review a casino, I look beyond the welcome offer. I check payout speeds, payment reliability, game fairness, and how quickly support responds. Players need to know how a site performs when it matters most.”

“Bonuses can look great on paper, but I always dig into the fine print. Wagering requirements, game restrictions, and expiry times can make or break a deal, and players deserve to know that before they sign up.”
