About Rachel Gowan
The editor-in-chief oversees all casino content published for the New Zealand audience. They set the editorial standards: neutral tone, verified data, no promotional language and no invented details. Reviews, comparisons and guides all pass through their desk before publication.
They have a background in gambling regulation and consumer information, and they track the New Zealand market closely, including the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026. The editor-in-chief signs off every figure, licence number and bonus term, and makes sure responsible gambling messaging — 18+, the risks of debt and addiction, and local help services — appears wherever it is relevant.
What Rachel checks before publication
Before publication the editor-in-chief checks every figure against the source data: bonus amounts, wagering requirements, RTP, licence numbers and timeframes must match exactly. They confirm the licence status with the regulator, check that weaknesses are stated plainly, remove promotional wording and empty superlatives, and verify New Zealand English spelling throughout. They also confirm that responsible gambling information, the 18+ notice and partner links marked nofollow are in place before a page goes live.
