```htmlLast updated: January 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on Orddio (worddio.com) and has been prepared in accordance with applicable advertising and consumer transparency standards, including guidelines set by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and equivalent regulations relevant to New Zealand audiences.
Orddio is an independent online casino and pokies review website operated by Liam Hartley. The site focuses exclusively on reviewing and recommending online pokies and casino platforms for players based in New Zealand. Every article, review, rating, and recommendation published on worddio.com is researched, written, and verified by Liam Hartley personally.
Orddio participates in affiliate marketing programs with a number of online casino and pokies operators. This means that when you click on certain links found on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at a recommended casino, Orddio may receive a financial commission from that operator.
These commissions are typically paid as a one-time fee, a revenue share arrangement, or a hybrid of both, depending on the specific affiliate agreement in place with each operator. The commission is paid by the casino operator and comes at no additional cost to you as the player. You will not pay more for any product, service, or bonus as a result of using our affiliate links.
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies Orddio as the referring source when a visitor clicks through to a casino website. Here is how the process works in simple terms:
Not every link on this website is an affiliate link. Some links are provided purely for informational purposes, such as links to regulatory bodies, responsible gambling resources, or industry reference sites.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the content, ratings, or conclusions of any review or recommendation published on Orddio. Liam Hartley maintains full editorial independence over all published material. Casinos are never paid to receive positive reviews, and no operator has editorial control over how they are presented or rated on this website.
Operators that score poorly in our assessment process are reported accurately and honestly, regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists. In some cases, casinos with active affiliate agreements have received negative ratings or been excluded from recommended lists entirely because they did not meet the standards required to be recommended to New Zealand players.
Every casino and pokies platform reviewed on Orddio is evaluated against a consistent and transparent set of criteria developed by Liam Hartley based on direct research and player-focused analysis. Key factors assessed in every review include:
If you have any questions about this affiliate disclosure or how Orddio operates, you are welcome to reach out directly. Contact details are available on the Contact page of worddio.com. Liam Hartley is committed to full transparency and is happy to address any concerns about editorial practice or affiliate arrangements.
