Terms of Service

Last Updated: 2026

Welcome to thunderball.co.nz ("the Site"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website and content. By accessing and using thunderball.co.nz, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must not use the Site.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using thunderball.co.nz in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service in their entirety. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and thunderball.co.nz. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

2. Site Purpose

thunderball.co.nz is an informational and review website dedicated to providing content about online pokies in New Zealand. We are NOT a gambling operator, casino, or betting platform. The Site provides independent reviews, comparisons, guides, and information about online gambling operators and their services.

We do not offer, facilitate, or operate any gambling services, accept bets, process wagers, or hold customer funds. All gambling transactions must be conducted directly with licensed and regulated gambling operators through their own platforms. We strongly recommend that you verify all information independently with the relevant operators before engaging in any gambling activity.

3. Age Restriction

You confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the minimum legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in New Zealand, whichever is higher. Users under 18 (or the applicable minimum age in your location) are strictly prohibited from accessing and using thunderball.co.nz. We do not knowingly permit access to minors and reserve the right to verify age and remove access from any user we believe does not meet this requirement.

4. Disclaimer

The information, reviews, guides, and content provided on thunderball.co.nz are for informational purposes only and are provided on an "as-is" basis. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we make no warranties or representations regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any content on the Site.

Online gambling operators, their terms, conditions, promotions, features, and compliance status are subject to change without notice. Information published on thunderball.co.nz may become outdated or inaccurate. You must independently verify all information directly with the relevant gambling operators before making any decisions or deposits.

thunderball.co.nz is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information provided, nor for any losses, damages, or consequences arising from your reliance on such information.

5. Affiliate Relationship

thunderball.co.nz is an affiliate marketing website. We earn commissions and other compensation from the online gambling operators and casinos we recommend and review on the Site. This is our primary source of revenue and creates a financial incentive to promote certain operators.

While we endeavour to provide honest and fair reviews, you should be aware of this affiliate relationship when reading our recommendations. The inclusion of a gambling operator on thunderball.co.nz, or the provision of a link to an operator, does not constitute an endorsement of that operator or guarantee of its legitimacy, fairness, or compliance with applicable laws.

We encourage you to conduct your own research and verify that any operator you choose is properly licensed and regulated in your jurisdiction.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on thunderball.co.nz, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, audio, video, software code, and design elements, is the intellectual property of thunderball.co.nz or its content licensors and is protected by New Zealand and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit, or display any content from the Site without our prior written permission, except for personal, non-commercial use. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY NEW ZEALAND LAW, thunderball.co.nz, its owners, operators, employees, and agents SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use or inability to use the Site, the content provided, or any gambling activities you undertake based on information from the Site.

This limitation applies regardless of whether liability arises in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so this limitation may not apply in full to all users.

8. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding relating to these Terms or your use of thunderball.co.nz shall be brought exclusively in the courts of New Zealand, and you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

9. Changes to Terms

thunderball.co.nz reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Changes become effective immediately upon posting to the Site. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of modified Terms constitutes your acceptance of such modifications. We recommend that you review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any changes.
