About Us

Who We Are

We are the independent editorial team behind handover.nz. Our site provides information and reviews only — we are not a gambling operator, casino, or pokies provider. We do not run games, accept bets, or handle player funds. Instead, we research, test, and write about mobile pokies in New Zealand so you can understand your options before you play.

Our Mission

Our goal is to help readers in New Zealand make informed, safe choices about mobile pokies. The online gambling landscape changes quickly, and not every site or app is trustworthy or easy to use. We cut through the noise with clear, practical guidance focused on mobile play — from device compatibility and game selection to banking, bonuses, and security.

What We Cover

handover.nz focuses on everything related to mobile pokies in NZ. Our coverage includes:

Editorial Independence

We earn affiliate commissions from some of the sites we review. If you click a link on handover.nz and later create an account, we may receive a payment. Commissions do NOT influence our editorial rankings, review scores, or recommendations. Our team evaluates every mobile pokies site using the same criteria, regardless of any commercial relationship. If a site does not meet our standards for fairness, security, or mobile experience, we say so — even if it means losing a potential commission.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. We encourage all readers to play only with money they can afford to lose, set time and deposit limits, and never chase losses. Mobile pokies are restricted to players aged 18 or over, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction — whichever is higher. If you feel that gambling is affecting your life or someone you know, please seek help from local support services in New Zealand.
