Author

Articles are written by Samuel Lewis, a journalist and analyst who has reported on New Zealand gambling products and policy for over a decade. I also play in small, documented sessions so my notes stay tied to real interfaces—not press decks alone.

I verify claims against primary sources when they exist, especially Department of Internal Affairs notices during the 2026 licensing transition. Guest pieces, if any, are labelled clearly.
