Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Website: dimsumbites.com | Owner: Liam Hargreaves

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Dimsumbites, honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page exists to give you a clear, straightforward explanation of how this website earns revenue and how that relationship affects — or more accurately, does not affect — the reviews and recommendations you read here. Transparency is not just a legal obligation; it is a core value that Liam Hargreaves upholds across every piece of content published on dimsumbites.com.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a content publisher and a third-party business. When Dimsumbites links to an online casino or pokie operator, that link may contain a unique tracking code. If you click that link and subsequently register an account or make a deposit with the operator, dimsumbites.com may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.

This is a standard and widely used practice across the online publishing industry. It allows Dimsumbites to remain free to access for all New Zealand readers while continuing to produce detailed, research-driven content.

How Affiliate Links Work on Dimsumbites

Some links on dimsumbites.com pointing to online casino and pokie platforms are affiliate links.
Clicking these links does not change the price, bonus offer, or terms you receive from the operator.
A small commission may be paid to Dimsumbites if you sign up or deposit after clicking a tracked link.
Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. Some operators are referenced purely for informational purposes.
Affiliate commissions are received from operators, never from readers or players.

Editorial Independence and Unbiased Reviews

The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content, ratings, or recommendations published by Liam Hargreaves on Dimsumbites. Operators cannot purchase favorable reviews, pay for higher ratings, or request the removal of negative findings. Every review reflects an honest, independent assessment based on direct evaluation and research.

If an operator performs poorly across key criteria, that assessment will be published clearly and transparently, regardless of any commercial relationship. Dimsumbites has declined affiliate arrangements with operators that did not meet the site's editorial standards for New Zealand players.
