About Us & the Author
One writer, one domain, and a testing method you can hold us to. Here is who produces these pages, how they are checked, and where the money comes from.
Sophie Anderson
Lead casino reviewer, New Zealand
Sophie has covered online gambling for New Zealand players since 2016, first as a payments analyst and now as the person who opens the accounts, funds them, and files the withdrawals we write about. She works out of Wellington and tests every banking claim on this site with her own money.
Her background is in payments rather than gaming, which is why this site leans hard on the cashier: minimums, fees, settlement windows, and the gap between what an operator advertises and what your bank actually does. She writes every page on this domain — there is no rotating byline here and no ghost-written filler under someone else's name.
Who we are
This is an independent guide to All Slots Casino written for New Zealand players. We are not the casino, we do not run its accounts, and we cannot process, chase or release your withdrawal. What we can do is tell you what the cashier does before you use it, and be specific about it.
The scope is deliberately narrow. One brand, one country, one currency. Everything on this site is quoted in New Zealand dollars because that is what the account holds; nothing is converted from Australian or US figures and left to look about right. Where a number is a claim rather than something we verified, we say so.
We do not accept payment for a favourable write-up, and we do not remove criticism on request. What is written on the withdrawal times page about weekend delays is there because that is what happens, not because it helps anyone's conversion rate.
The three dates on every page
At the foot of every page there is a thin line with three dates. They mean different things and none of them moves on its own.
Published
When the page first went live. It never changes, ever. If a page claims to be published today and has a year of comments underneath it, someone is gaming you.
Updated
The last time the content genuinely changed — a limit moved, a method appeared, a claim turned out to be wrong. Reformatting is not an update and does not move this date.
Facts checked
The last time someone re-read the page against the live cashier and confirmed the numbers still hold, even where nothing needed changing.
How we weight a casino
Published weights, so you can disagree with them. Payments dominate because a casino you cannot get paid out of is worthless regardless of how good the lobby looks.
Payments and payouts
30%Method coverage for New Zealand, real settlement times, fee transparency, payout reliability.
Licensing and player protection
25%Which regulator, what recourse exists, how self-exclusion and limits actually work.
Bonus terms
20%Wagering multiples, game weighting, max bet while wagering, expiry — the clauses, not the headline number.
Game library
15%Provider mix, live dealer coverage, whether the catalogue is genuinely distinct from its sister sites.
Support and usability
10%Live chat response, whether answers are scripted, how the site behaves on a phone.
The testing protocol
- 1Open a real account from a New Zealand connection, with real documents, and go through verification like anyone else.
- 2Deposit on at least three methods — a card, an online-banking rail and a wallet — recording the exact time each one credited.
- 3Withdraw on each of them, timing the pending period and the transfer separately, because they are separate problems.
- 4Read the bonus terms in full and check the clauses against what the promotion banner implies.
- 5Ask support three questions we already know the answers to, and time the replies.
- 6Re-check quarterly and log what moved in the "what changed" table on each page rather than silently editing numbers.
How we fix mistakes
We get things wrong. Limits change without notice, a method disappears from the cashier, a support agent tells us something that turns out not to be policy. When it happens, the page gets corrected and its Updated date moves — that is what the date is for.
Material corrections, meaning anything that would have changed a reader's decision, also get a line in the "what changed since our last check" table on the relevant page. We do not quietly overwrite a number and pretend it was always that. The tables on payments and withdrawal times are exactly that record.
If you have been through something at this casino that contradicts what is written here, that is more useful to us than any amount of re-reading. Tell us through the live chat channel below and we will re-test the specific claim.
Affiliate disclosure
We earn commission. The buttons on this site lead to All Slots Casino through a tracked affiliate link, and if you open an account we may be paid for it. That is how the site is funded — there is no subscription and no advertising.
It costs you nothing and it changes nothing about your account: the same bonus, the same terms, the same limits as going direct. What it does mean is that we have a commercial interest, which is precisely why the testing method above is published and why criticism stays on the page when it is warranted.
Nothing here is financial advice and none of it is a prediction. Gambling is a form of entertainment with a negative expected return by design. Play only what you can afford to lose.
Contact, and where to go for real help
About your account
We cannot see your account, your balance or your pending withdrawal, and we cannot escalate anything on your behalf. Account matters go to the casino's own 24/7 live chat, which is the fastest channel they run.
If a payout is stuck, read the pending withdrawals section first — it usually explains what is holding it.
