About Mark Ashley
The editor-in-chief oversees all casino content published for the New Zealand audience. They have worked in iGaming publishing for over a decade, across reviews, news and regulatory coverage, and set the editorial standards the team works to.
Their focus is accuracy and neutrality. Every figure that appears on the site — bonus amounts, wagering requirements, RTP percentages, licence numbers and withdrawal timeframes — is checked against the source before a page goes live. They also make sure reviews state weaknesses plainly, avoid promotional language and include responsible gambling information where relevant.
What Mark checks before publication
Before publication, the editor-in-chief re-reads every review line by line. They confirm that amounts, percentages, licence numbers and timeframes match the verified source data exactly, and that no claim appears without a source. They check that the tone stays neutral, that weaknesses are stated rather than softened, and that responsible gambling information is present where relevant. Any page that fails these checks is sent back for revision before it can go live.
