As with anything online, the key to successfully finding the best online casino service in New Zealand is all down to research and identifying all the right ‘things! It may take a little time but shouldn’t be too difficult.
There are two basic rules before you do anything. The first and absolute golden rule is that regardless of the NZ online casino you do choose, it must, without exception, be licensed. Secondly, you must make sure that the online casino is set up with banking facilities that are allowed in New Zealand (or you may otherwise have great difficulty in collecting your winnings!) and that it pays out relatively quickly. Some casino licensing agency accreditations to look out for are the UK Gambling Commission, Malta, Swedish and Danish Gambling Authorities (there are more).
Next on the line before you sign up is to check the safety of your chosen casino. There should be no doubt whatsoever that the casino will treat your personal information (and the money you wager or win!) with the utmost safety. They should make it clear that your information is only for the purposes of your account with them and that they will guarantee 100% to not sell or give away any of it to a third party.
Once the vital necessities are out of the way, it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty.
It can help if you have in mind in advance what games you want to play. While it has been shown that online ‘pokies’ with bonus spins are most popular with New Zealand players, most NZ online casinos will have an absolutely mind-boggling range of games to cover all tastes. However, it’s no harm to check out what’s on offer at each casino. You may wish to simply have as many games as possible available, but even if you don’t play them yourself, do check that the casino is well-rounded and offers all the traditional games such as blackjack and roulette etc.
A word of caution. Don’t be too attracted by a welcome bonus, especially if it seems oversized. Most casinos do offer them, but they don’t really improve your winning chances. If the bonus looks like a dog, make sure it barks like a dog, and if it seems to be somewhat extraordinarily generous, get researching to check it’s not just a false-flag temptation. Also, for ease, bonuses should come in NZ dollars.
It is also useful to know that there is good, recognised customer support, preferably 24/7. Live chat with a representative (not an automated chat-bot) is a definite plus in the event of problems/queries arising.
On the technical front, check in the casino’s small print that the online casino uses recognised and audited Random Number Generators (RNG), something it will have to use anyway in order to be licensed. Also, see if you can identify the software providers the casino uses the larger, established brands like Microgaming, NetEnt and Play n’ Go being look out for. All the above should be available on both their PC and mobile platforms.
