About Time2play NZ

Written by
Checked by Dasha G.

A bunch of industry veterans came together in 2021 to combat false and sensationalized online casino information. Dissatisfied with the present state of casino comparison sites, we decided to disrupt the entire industry, and so, Time2play.com was born. 

Forget about toplist positions that are sold to the highest bidders or better ratings for those that ask nicely. Here, we do things differently. Everything you see on Time2play is researched by experts and backed by real data. We do this because we believe that the casino industry deserves better – and, more importantly, so do its users. 

Our mission

Our aim at Time2play is to be the most transparent and people-focused gambling review site in New Zealand.

Who we are

We are a group of people who have worked in the casino industry for a long time and want to see a change in direction to the shady way things have been done for years. All of us, from our content writers to our designers to our tech team, are united in bringing users the best and most honest gaming experience online.

We don’t just research articles and then stick the word “best” in front of everything here, we actually spend hours and hours researching and sifting through information that most people wouldn’t dream of looking for. We don’t treat our site as a production factory either — everything we publish takes time and is looked at by several experts before it makes it onto our site.

We've been featured in:

The journey so far

It’s been a hell of a ride to get to where we are today. What began as an idea between three friends to be the lighthouse of iGaming became one of the fastest-growing casino sites in the world. Check out how it happened below.

  • legal-document

    July 2020

    Kay, Feda and Tim – the founders of Time2play Media – started deep discussions on how they could truly live up to being the lighthouse of the iGaming industry. The term BHAG was thrown around – the Big Hairy Audacious Goal.

  • thumbs-up

    September 2020

    The founders then invited the Head of Product at KaFe Rocks (at the time), Alex, to discuss the BHAG. The outcome was the need to create a single, massive, honest iGaming brand. A website built on trust and on serving the users, not the other way around. Creating a brand that people worldwide could put their faith in.

  • white-heart-on-red-background

    December 2020 – March 2021

    We worked with a design agency, and the brand matured into Time2play. At the same time, discussions were held internally at KaFe Rocks in terms of how to go about the project. It was decided that it needed to be quite separate from the existing business. A new business unit was to be founded by April.

  • Betting Trending

    April 2021

    Time2play kicked off with a small group of key players. The first hires were made from outside of KaFe Rocks with a focus on Tech and Product. Massive hiring began as Tech started working on turning the designs into something real for our users. We launched Time2play.com in the US shortly after.

  • Loyalty

    July 2021

    We launched our proprietary Playscore and Expert rating — a game-changer for the industry, allowing us to use real data to review and score each casino. We built more pages, create more content, and continued to build a product to serve our users.

  • World

    September 2021

    World domination began. We released Time2play in our first markets outside of the US: the Netherlands, Italy, and Switzerland. We hired international teams to produce world-class content for audiences across Europe.

  • World

    May 2022

    World domination takes no breaks. As we already established markets in nine countries, we continued to launch markets in Chile, Mexico, and Colombia. Time2play is now on three continents.

    November 2023

    Following Time2play Media’s accelerated growth, the company is acquired by Gaming Innovation Group (GiG). Time2play’s iconic brand continues with unaltered vision and strategy under new management.
