About Mark Ashley
The editor-in-chief oversees all casino content published for the New Zealand audience. With a background in editorial standards and a long-standing focus on the online gambling sector, they set the tone for every review: neutral, factual, and free of promotional language. No review goes live without their sign-off.
They are responsible for the accuracy of every figure on the page — licence numbers, bonus amounts, wagering requirements, RTP and timeframes — and for making sure weaknesses are stated plainly rather than softened. They also ensure each review follows the editorial policy: proofreading before publication, nofollow partner links, 18+ messaging, and clear references to the Gambling Helpline and Safer Gambling Aotearoa.
What Mark checks before publication
Before publication, the editor-in-chief checks every figure against the verified data: licence numbers, bonus amounts, wagering, RTP, deposit and withdrawal limits, and timeframes must match exactly. They confirm that no claim appears without a source in the data, that empty fields are simply omitted, and that the tone stays neutral with weaknesses stated plainly. They also verify the responsible gambling block, the 18+ notice, nofollow attributes on partner links, and a final proofread.
