Aroha has spent more than a decade covering online gambling for New Zealand and Australian audiences, with a focus on the parts players meet after they sign up: wagering requirements, withdrawal timeframes, verification and the small print that changes what a bonus is actually worth. She leads SpinHouse's operator reviews and ranking method, reads every set of terms we cite, and is the byline you will see on our casino, sports betting and crypto guides.
Areas of focus: bonus terms and wagering analysis, payout and KYC processes, NZ payment methods, responsible gambling tools.

How We Work
SpinHouse is an independent comparison guide for New Zealand players. We do not run any gambling site, and we are not owned by an operator. Our rankings are editorial judgements based on published terms and hands-on assessment, and they are set before any commercial arrangement is considered.
Our Review Standard
Every operator entry follows the same process. We read the operator's own terms for the current welcome offer, wagering requirement, minimum deposit and stated withdrawal window, rather than repeating figures from other sites. We flag where a bonus is denominated in a foreign currency or a coin, so a Kiwi reader can judge its real value. Where an operator has not published a fixed offer, we say so instead of inventing one. When terms change, we update the page and the "last updated" date on it. The full breakdown of what each ranking factor means lives on our How We Rank page.
Corrections
If you spot a figure that no longer matches an operator's site, tell us through our Contact page and we will check it against the source and correct it. Accuracy on the numbers that decide a ranking matters more to us than keeping a page static.
