Terms of use

Agreement

By using merlinnz.com you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Age

This site is for adults aged 18 and over. If you are under 18, leave now.

We are not a gambling operator

Merlin NZ publishes editorial content about gambling. We are not a casino, a bookmaker, a payment processor or a gambling operator. We do not:

• accept bets or wagers
• hold player funds or balances
• operate any gambling service
• act as an agent for any operator

Any account you open is with the operator directly, under that operator's terms.

Editorial opinion, not advice

Our ratings, rankings and verdicts are editorial opinion based on published evidence at the time of writing. Nothing on this site is gambling, financial, legal, tax or professional advice. You are responsible for your own decisions, including verifying licence details, bonus terms, payment methods and the legal position that applies to you before you deposit money anywhere.

Accuracy and changes

Licence details, bonus offers, payment methods and payout times change frequently and are set by the operator, not by us. We try to keep everything current and we show a last-reviewed date on our reviews, but we cannot guarantee that every figure is current at the moment you read it. Terms you see on this site are a description of what was published elsewhere at a point in time.

Third-party links

Links to operator websites and to regulators or other sources are provided for information. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, terms, practices or availability. Outbound commercial links are labelled and disclosed.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by New Zealand law, Merlin NZ is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site, from reliance on its content, or from your dealings with any operator referenced on it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 that cannot be limited by agreement.

Intellectual property

The text, design, generated graphics and data on this site are ours unless stated otherwise. You may quote short extracts with attribution and a link. Systematic copying, scraping for republication or republishing substantial parts of the site requires written permission. Automated crawling for search indexing is welcome and encouraged.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site, including attempting to disrupt it, injecting malicious code, or misrepresenting your identity to us.

Governing law

These terms are governed by New Zealand law and the New Zealand courts have jurisdiction.
