About Fiona Barrett
The editor-in-chief oversees all casino review content for the New Zealand audience. The role is to make sure every page reads as reporting, not advertising, and that each statement can be traced back to a verifiable source such as a licence register or the operator’s own terms.
Before publication, the editor-in-chief reviews the full text line by line: figures, dates, licence numbers and bonus amounts must match the source data exactly. Promotional phrasing is removed, weaknesses stay in, and responsible gambling information is checked for accuracy. Nothing goes live until that pass is complete.
What Fiona checks before publication
The editor-in-chief checks that every figure, including licence numbers, bonus amounts, wagering requirements, RTP and timeframes, is carried over from the source data without rewording. The review must state weaknesses plainly, avoid empty superlatives and keep a neutral second-person voice. Responsible gambling tools and helpline references must be present where relevant. Partner links are checked for the nofollow attribute, and the 18+ notice must appear. Any claim that cannot be verified is cut before publication.
