Terms of Service
Last Updated: 2026
Welcome to City Groove (citygroove.co.nz). These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and services. By accessing and using this site, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our website.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing, browsing, or using City Groove, 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 legally binding agreement between you and City Groove. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of the website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
2. Site Purpose
City Groove is an informational and review website dedicated to providing content about online pokies and casino operators available in New Zealand. We are NOT a gambling operator, gaming provider, or licensed casino. We do not offer gambling services, accept bets, process deposits, or facilitate any form of wagering.
Our website exists solely to:
- Provide educational information about online pokies and casino games
- Review and compare licensed New Zealand online casinos
- Offer guides and resources to help users make informed decisions
- Direct users to third-party gambling operators through affiliate links
Any gambling or wagering activity must be conducted directly with licensed operators through their own platforms, not through City Groove.
3. Age Restriction
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal minimum gambling age in New Zealand, whichever is applicable) to use this website. By using City Groove, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. We do not knowingly permit access to individuals under the legal gambling age in New Zealand. If you are under 18, you are strictly prohibited from using this site.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use content filtering software to restrict access to gambling-related websites.
4. Disclaimer
The information, reviews, guides, and content provided on City Groove are for informational purposes only. While we strive to ensure accuracy, we do not guarantee that all information is current, complete, or error-free. Casino terms, bonuses, features, licensing status, and availability may change without notice.
You are solely responsible for verifying all information directly with the relevant casino operators before engaging with them. City Groove assumes no liability for inaccuracies, omissions, or changes in third-party information.
Gambling carries inherent risks, including the potential loss of money. We do not provide gambling advice or recommendations to participate in gambling. If you choose to gamble, do so responsibly and only with funds you can afford to lose.
5. Affiliate Relationship
City Groove participates in affiliate programs with various online casino operators. This means we may earn commissions or other compensation when users click on links to casinos and take certain actions (such as registering or making deposits) through our website.
These affiliate relationships do not influence the integrity of our reviews or recommendations. However, you should be aware that we have a financial interest in directing traffic to our affiliate partners. This disclosure is made in accordance with advertising and affiliate marketing standards in New Zealand.
Our reviews and comparisons are based on research and user experience, but the presence of affiliate links may create a conflict of interest. We encourage you to conduct your own independent research and verify information with operators directly.
6. Intellectual Property
All content on City Groove, including text, graphics, logos, images, videos, and software, is the intellectual property of City Groove or its content suppliers and is protected by New Zealand and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and use this content for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, modify, or create derivative works of any content without our prior written permission.
Unauthorized use of our intellectual property may result in legal action.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
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 principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of City Groove shall be brought exclusively in the courts of New Zealand, and you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
