Your continued use of the Website constitutes your acceptance of these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you must cease using the Website immediately.

Site Purpose

smlc.co.nz is an informational and review website dedicated to providing content about online pokies, casinos, and gambling operators available to New Zealand residents. We provide reviews, comparisons, guides, and educational information only. We are NOT a gambling operator, casino, or licensed gaming venue. We do not offer, host, or facilitate any gambling activities, betting, or wagering on our Website. Any gambling activities must be conducted directly through licensed operators' platforms.

Age Restriction

You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal minimum gambling age in New Zealand, whichever is higher, to access and use this Website. By using smlc.co.nz, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements. We do not knowingly permit access to users under the legal gambling age. If you are under 18 years of age, you are strictly prohibited from using this Website.

Disclaimer

The information, reviews, and content provided on smlc.co.nz are for informational purposes only and may not be accurate, current, or complete. Online casino operators, bonus offers, terms, features, and availability change frequently without notice. We make no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any information on this Website. Before engaging with any casino operator or accepting any bonus offer, you must independently verify all information directly with the relevant licensed operator. We are not responsible for any inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in our content. Your reliance on any information from this Website is at your own risk.

Affiliate Relationship

smlc.co.nz is an affiliate website. We earn commissions, referral fees, and other compensation when you click on links to casino operators or complete sign-ups and deposits through our Website. This creates a financial incentive that may influence the content, recommendations, and prominence of certain operators on our Website. We disclose this affiliate relationship transparently, but you should be aware that our recommendations may be influenced by financial considerations. We encourage you to conduct your own independent research before choosing any operator.

Intellectual Property

All content on smlc.co.nz, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the intellectual property of smlc.co.nz or our content suppliers and is protected by New Zealand and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, smlc.co.nz, its owners, operators, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your access to or use of this Website, including but not limited to losses from gambling activities, financial losses, or any reliance on information provided. This includes liability for errors, omissions, viruses, or interruptions in service. Your use of this Website and any casino operator is entirely at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability, so this limitation may not apply to you.
