About us
Ohopeclub.co.nz is a small independent desk of five reviewers based in Aotearoa. Hamish Waikite leads the testing, Waimarie Ngaruawahia handles banking, Kohine Papamoa reads the licence conditions, Silas Waikari plays the pokies and Ngaire Otane picks apart bonus terms.
Nothing reaches the table until one of us has funded a real account in New Zealand dollars, cleared a bonus and requested a payout. We time that payout from the moment the request is submitted, not from the moment the operator confirms it. A brand that stalls verification, caps monthly withdrawals below NZ$5,000 or refuses POLi drops off the list.
We earn commission when a reader signs up through our links. That revenue never buys a position: the order is decided by the scores our reviewers record.
