Last updated: June 2026 — James Wilson, Reggarters
Reggarters is New Zealand's most trusted online pokies review platform, dedicated to helping Kiwi players find safe, fair, and rewarding gaming experiences. Founded in 2026 by James Wilson, a passionate gaming enthusiast with over a decade of industry experience, Reggarters was born from a simple mission: to cut through the marketing noise and deliver honest, independent reviews of New Zealand's online pokie sites.
Our name reflects our relaxed, straightforward approach to casino reviews. We believe gambling information should be accessible, transparent, and free from corporate bias—just like having a genuine conversation with a trusted mate over a beer.
At Reggarters, we're committed to empowering New Zealand players with accurate, detailed information about online pokies sites. We test every platform ourselves, evaluate their games, payouts, customer service, and security features, then share what we genuinely find—both the good and the bad.
We believe players deserve better than vague marketing claims. That's why we've made independence and transparency the foundation of everything we do.
Independence: We accept no payments or partnerships from gaming operators. Our opinions are entirely our own, shaped only by player experience and rigorous testing.
Transparency: We're open about our methodology, our findings, and our limitations. If a site has issues, we'll tell you. If it excels in certain areas, we'll highlight that too.
Player Safety: We verify licenses, check security certifications, review responsible gambling features, and assess customer support quality. A casino's game library means nothing if players' money or data isn't protected.
Honesty: We write for players, not for casino marketing departments. That means giving you the truth, even when it's unflattering.
Reggarters is led by James Wilson, founder and lead reviewer, supported by a dedicated team of gaming analysts and content specialists. Every member brings genuine passion for helping New Zealand players make informed decisions. We're gamers ourselves, and we know what matters when you're choosing where to play.
Have questions about our reviews? Found a site you'd like us to test? We'd love to hear from you. Reggarters exists to serve New Zealand's gaming community, and your feedback helps us improve every day.
