Our AutoRank Technology: Meet Maximus

We use a smart system called AutoRank, or "Maximus," to make ranking online casinos much easier and faster for our players here in New Zealand. This is our own development that pulls in heaps of data from various sources to automatically sort casinos. This allows us to focus on giving you the best, most relevant casino options without any fluff. We like to give our tech human names – it adds a personal touch. "Maximus" is a bit of a play on the word 'maximize,' as in, we're taking things to the max for efficiency, your satisfaction, and overall enjoyment. Maximus isn't just a system; it's our way of making everything bigger and better, in the coolest way possible.
How Does Maximus Work Its Magic?

Maximus automatically gathers info on each casino operator, like bonus availability, player reviews, and any location-specific restrictions relevant to New Zealand players. This data fuels our algorithm, which gives each casino a score. The top-scoring casinos naturally appear first on our lists, ensuring you see the best options tailored for you. While Maximus handles the heavy lifting of ranking, our team still puts in the crucial work on the review content itself. This system is a game-changer for how we manage rankings across our massive network of local websites, which includes 70 sites in 46 languages. It means we can provide really specific, accurate listings for each page, boosting our capabilities and making your experience much smoother.
Could Maximus Ever Drop the Ball?
We're pretty chuffed with Maximus, but like any tech, it's not perfect. Sometimes, it might give a rating that's a bit off if the data it's working with isn't quite right, or if there's a slip-up in the algorithm. We're always tweaking Maximus to make it even more accurate and reliable. While automated systems aren't new in the online casino world, the sheer scale of what we do is what sets us apart. As far as we know, no other platform manages such a comprehensive automated system across so many websites and regions. This makes our approach really robust, letting us deliver precise and personalised casino rankings to players in New Zealand and worldwide.

How We Gather Information For The Review

It’s not a secret that we rely on affiliate marketing, a common performance-based marketing strategy in the gambling industry. This approach rewards us for each visitor or customer acquired through our efforts, helping both us and our casino partners thrive. We maintain strong relationships with these partners to ensure we have the most current information, which we gather through our provider portal. Partners input the provider portal with comprehensive details about their offerings, which we then verify and use to write our reviews. This method ensures our content is up-to-date and accurate. As for showcasing bonuses, it's a manual process where we either discover bonuses on the casino’s web pages by ourselves or get the information from a brand, ensuring what we display is the most beneficial representation of the casino's exclusive promotions.
So yes, we collaborate with casinos that we review on a regular basis, but only for the quick exchange of information. Our partners in no way influence the outcome of the evaluation process, which is performed based on objective facts.
