'''DashTickets''' (legally '''Dash Tickets New Zealand Limited''') is a New Zealand–based online gambling review and certification company. Founded in 2009, it operates as a platform providing data-driven reviews, compliance guides, and certification for online casinos with a focus on transparency and responsible gambling.

== History ==
DashTickets originated in 2009 as a spreadsheet circulated by founder Mark Dash and colleagues to identify reliable casino operators. The company was later incorporated in Christchurch as ''Dash Tickets New Zealand Limited''.
By 2025, DashTickets reported over 12,000 monthly readers and had reviewed more than 300 online casino sites.

== Methodology ==
DashTickets conducts independent testing using real player accounts and deposits, totaling over $15,000 NZD in testing funds. Its staff act as "mystery shoppers," evaluating:
* Payment processing speeds
* Customer support responsiveness
* Bonus term transparency
* Know Your Customer (KYC) verification

The findings are summarized into the proprietary '''DashScore''' (0–100), which aggregates performance across usability, games, payments, bonuses, and support.

== DashPass™ Certification ==
In 2025, DashTickets introduced the '''DashPass™ Certification'''.
Operators receiving this certification must:
* Achieve a DashScore of 8.5 or above
* Commit to a "Player Pledge" that includes:
** 2-hour withdrawal processing for verified players
** DashTickets-mediated dispute resolution
** NZ prime-time support availability

The seal is intended as a quick verification of safety, fairness, and service quality for New Zealand players.
