Kia ora team! Moving back to NZ after years overseas and looking to continue my online casino habits. Any recommendations for sites that actually pay out, have decent game selection and take NZD? Bonus points if they have good pokies selection - miss those good old Kiwi-style games!
 
According to my data tracking Joe Fortune has been most consistent for NZ players past 6 months:
  • Withdrawal times averaging 36-48h (crypto)
  • 94% success rate on first withdrawal attempt
  • NZD accepted without conversion fees
  • Extensive pokies library
Also worth noting Spin Casino has improved considerably since last year.
 
been playing at jackpot city for about 3 yrs now, never had issues with payouts. they take nzd and have loads of pokies! their welcome bonus is pretty decent too, got like $1600 when i signed up but the wagering req is a bit steep

Cheers for that @bill_collins - have you personally used Joe Fortune? Any issues with verification?

Sure, I've used Joe Fortune for about 8 months. Verification was straightforward - standard KYC (passport/license, proof of address, bank statement). Took about 12 hours to verify initially. They're thorough but not unreasonable compared to other sites. I've made 5 withdrawals ranging from $300-1800, all processed within 48 hours.
 
my bf tried joker fortune last month, had proper nightmare with verification! they kept asking for more docs even after he sent everything... took like 2 weeks to get his money out 😒
 
Important note on New Zealand casino sites: the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) licensed platforms consistently perform better for NZ players across all metrics.
Testing from past 90 days:
  • MGA licenses: 92% withdrawal success rate
  • Curacao licenses: 76% withdrawal success rate
Spin Casino, Jackpot City, and Royal Panda all maintain MGA licensing.
 
Just had a $5k payout from spin casino this week, took 4 days but landed in my bank no probs! Been with them 3 years, mostly play pokies and live blackjack. Their app works mint too
 
Anyone tried Wildz? Saw a few ads for it recently. Their interface looks clean but not sure about reputation for kiwis.
 
Been using BetOnline for most of 2024 while bouncing between NZ and Australia. Solid experience, especially for crypto users. Their poker room is surprisingly active too if that's your thing.

hey team just wondering if anyone's used rocket play? my mate won like $3k there last week but i'm a bit sus about all these random ads popping up for it

RocketPlay is very new to the NZ market - established less than 6 months ago. Limited data points so far:
  • Curacao license only
  • Mixed withdrawal reports (some fast, some delayed)
  • No verified large payout history
  • Aggressive marketing budget
I'd recommend caution until they establish a longer track record.
 
For New Zealand players concerned about payment methods here are some reliable options ranked by processing success:
  1. Bitcoin/Ethereum (98% success)
  2. MuchBetter (92% success)
  3. Bank Transfer (76% success)
  4. Credit Cards (62% success, declining)
I've tracked 200+ transactions across multiple sites over past 3 months. PM for spreadsheet if interested
 
Thanks for all the advice everyone! Seems like Joe Fortune and Spin Casino are the most mentioned. @bonVivant - I'm with ANZ, hope they're not doing the same thing. Might look into this crypto option, though I'm a bit of a tech dinosaur 😅
 
Joe Fortune is great for us kiwis but their customer service kinda sucks tbh. Emailed them about a bonus issue and took 3 days to reply. Games are mint tho and payouts have always been smooth for me
