At Scannerepson (scannerepson.com), honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page explains exactly how our website is funded, how affiliate relationships work, and why those relationships never compromise the integrity of the reviews and recommendations you read here. We believe you deserve to know this information before making any decisions based on our content.
Some of the links on scannerepson.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or gambling operator and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit, Scannerepson may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes entirely from the operator and is at no additional cost to you whatsoever.
Affiliate links function like a referral system. Online casino operators use them to track which websites send them new players, and they compensate those websites accordingly. It is a standard and widely used practice across the online gambling review industry.
Scannerepson earns revenue through the following means:
Not every casino or operator listed on this site has an affiliate relationship with us. Some operators are included purely on the basis of editorial merit, with no financial arrangement in place at all.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the content, ratings, or rankings published on scannerepson.com. All reviews and recommendations are written and maintained by Rhys Donaldson, the owner and lead reviewer of this website, and reflect his honest, independent assessment of each casino.
Operators cannot pay for favourable reviews, higher rankings, or the removal of negative findings. If a casino performs poorly in our evaluation criteria, that will be reflected clearly in the published review regardless of any commercial relationship. Equally, casinos with no affiliate agreement are reviewed and recommended when they genuinely deserve to be.
Every online casino reviewed on scannerepson.com is evaluated against a consistent set of criteria developed by Rhys Donaldson specifically for the New Zealand market. The key factors assessed include:
Scores and recommendations are updated regularly to reflect any changes in an operator's performance, terms, or licensing status.
