About W7PNG: who we are and how we work
W7PNG is written by the team that runs Winim777, WinKina and BigKina in Papua New Guinea. That is a conflict of interest, so this page says exactly how each part of the site is made and where our interest lies.

Who we are
One team in Papua New Guinea operates three gaming brands: Winim777, WinKina and the BigKina app. All three are licensed by the National Gaming Control Board of Papua New Guinea (NGCB); the notice is on our licence page. W7PNG is our player guide: PNG news, reviews of our own brands, checks on the sites we do not run, and plain guides to paying in Kina and playing safely.
Every page links to our brands, and the buttons that say "Play at Winim777" take you to a sign-up page we earn from. We do not take money from any other casino, affiliate network or advertiser.
The team
Pokies, live casino and the studios behind them. Writes the game guides and keeps the best-pokies list honest.
BSP, Kina Bank, CellMoni and MoniPay, withdrawal rules and what to do when a deposit goes missing.
Reads the PNG papers every morning, picks the day's stories and runs the five checks on every new site aimed at PNG players.
Kila, Maria and Tau are the pen names our editors write under; the drawings stand in for photos. The people are real and work for the company behind the three brands.
How the news is made
Three times a day, at PNG breakfast, lunch and evening, we read the RSS feeds of the Post-Courier, RNZ Pacific, ABC and Google News for Papua New Guinea. We keep sport, business, banking, mobile and technology, community and events. We leave out crime, violence, deaths, party politics and anything promoting a gambling brand, including our own. Each story is summarised in our own words with a link to the original, and the publisher's photo is credited. We never copy an article. Read the original for the full story; ours is the short version.
How we score our reviews
Our reviews cover our own brands, so they are not independent tests and we do not pretend otherwise. Each review has a scorecard across eight things a PNG player cares about, from pokies choice to play-safe tools, marked by the people who build the sites. Where a score is below five, "What we would improve" says why. We do not invent deposit or withdrawal timings; we state the rules as published on each site. If a rule changes, the review changes. See all reviews.
How site checks work
For sites we do not run we publish a site check, not a review. We look up the domain's registration date in the public registry, open the home page in a phone browser and record what it shows: a regulator and licence number, a company name, the payment methods it names, the claims it makes about itself. We do not open accounts, deposit or test payouts, and every page says so. Every check is dated, and we do not link to the sites. If you run one of these sites and something we recorded is wrong or has changed, write to us and we will re-check and correct it.
Corrections and contact
If anything on W7PNG is wrong, tell us through live chat on any of our three sites, or on Telegram and Facebook. We fix factual errors on the page itself and note the change in the "Updated" date. For complaints about our brands, start with live chat; for anything the NGCB should hear about, their details are on our licence page.
Play safe
Gaming is for adults, 18 and over, and for fun. Every page carries the play-safe box with limits, breaks and self-exclusion, and the play responsibly guide has help lines in PNG. We would rather you played less and came back than played more and did not.
