About Fiona Barrett
The editor-in-chief oversees all casino content published for New Zealand readers. Before any page goes live, they check that every figure — bonus amounts, wagering requirements, licence numbers, timeframes — matches the verified source data exactly, with nothing added and nothing softened.
They also enforce the house style: short sentences, a neutral tone, no promotional language, and weaknesses stated plainly. Reviews that read like advertising are sent back for rewriting. The editor-in-chief makes sure each page carries the 18+ notice, states the risks of gambling, and points New Zealand readers to the appropriate support services.
What Fiona checks before publication
Before publication, the editor-in-chief checks each review against the verified data: licence status and number, bonus amounts, wagering, minimum deposits, withdrawal times and game counts must be carried over exactly as supplied. Ratings are reproduced without alteration. Spelling, grammar and New Zealand English usage are proofread. Partner links are checked for the nofollow attribute, and the 18+ notice plus references to the Gambling Helpline and Safer Gambling Aotearoa must be present.
