Welcome Bonus

Betway Casino offers a generous welcome bonus worth up to $1500, which is on the higher side when it comes to casino welcome bonuses. The bonus can be claimed within the first week of signing up and you will need to make three separate deposits in order to claim the full $1500. The bonus is distributed as follows:

Bonus	*Welcome offer	Wagering
1st deposit	100% match bonus up to NZ$250	50x
2nd deposit	25% match bonus up to NZ$250	50x
3rd deposit	50% match bonus up to NZ$500	50x
4th deposit	100% match bonus up to NZ$500	50x

Depositing $2250 in total will allow you to claim $1500 at Betway Casino, but you can make smaller deposits as well and receive a smaller bonus amount. Once you make the deposits, you will need to play through the bonus money 50x in order to be able to withdraw your bonus funds.

Pokies are your best bet for playing through the bonus as they will contribute 100% of the money played to the bonus playthrough. Other games contribute less but those who prefer playing the likes of Roulette or Blackjack can still play through the bonus, even if it may take a bit longer to do so. Table Poker, Roulette and Blackjack will contribute 8% towards the bonus playthrough requirements, to be more specific.

All traditional deposit and withdrawal methods, such as Visa and Mastercard as well as commonly used e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller and, as of late, PayPal are allowed, which should be very pleasing to the Kiwi players. The Paysafecard prepaid vouchers can also be used to deposit funds into your Betway account along with the POLi payment system, which is another favoured method in New Zealand. Betway Casino does limit withdrawals somewhat. Namely, you will need to make at least five times more money than your total deposits in order to make a withdrawal and you will only be able to withdraw $4000 at once. When withdrawing, you will also need to verify your identity by providing proof of identity and address.

Games

Betway Casino belongs to the Microgaming network, which means players will have access to the huge library of the best online pokies and other casino games. Microgaming games include many well-known pokies such as the Dolphin Quest, The Dark Knight and Jekyll and Hyde as well as many other visually spectacular slots. Talking about outstanding games, players at Betway Casino will have access to the famous progressive jackpots such as Mega Moolah and Major Millions where fortunes can be made on a single spin of the machine.

In 2019, Betway Casino also expanded their gaming network by including NetEnt casino games onto their casino platform. This has drastically increased their offering and they can now boast a world class gaming experience.

On top of the Casino, Betway also offers players a chance to try their luck at Poker, Bingo and Sportsbook, creating a very complete experience, as players can use one account to access all of these offers by Betway.

Mobile

Both Android and iPhone owners will have a chance to access Betway Casino via a mobile app, which can be downloaded from the respective app stores. Those who prefer not to install the app can still play straight from their mobile browsers and all players can access their account from both desktop and mobile platforms with the same login details.

Betway Casino mobile app allows players access to dozens of pokies such as Hitman and Avalon as well as many other table games, video poker and other casino games provided by Microgaming. The mobile app is fast and smooth and the mobile experience at Betway Casino is truly outstanding.

Promotions

Betway is not one of those casinos that spreads their promotions all over the place. Instead, they focus on providing players with an exceptional welcome bonus and offer participation in the loyalty scheme called Betway Plus which allows players to collect loyalty points and exchange them 5000 points at a time.
The lack of other promotions may be a small downside, but the generous welcome bonus and quite a fair loyalty club more than compensate for this.

''Betway Casino uses Microgaming software. I have an account here for some time but I was careful before I made a deposit because on some gambling sites this casino has a bad reputation. Before my deposit I played here mostly when the casino would give me some free spins bonuses. This casino has free spins bonuses often but they are all played on a small number of paylines. For example the last time I got 20 free spins on the game Golden Factory which has 50 paylinesthe free spins were only for 3 paylines. Of course the cash out from these free spins was always small and you could hardly have some big wins on so little paylines. Still after 2-3 months since I made my account here I decided to make a deposit and took their welcome bonus. it was a 100% bonus on my deposit with a wager of 50 x bonus. To get this bonus you needed a deposit of minimum 20 euros. I found that out after I contacted their live chat support. I can say about their live chat operators that they are good and kind. Ok now I had 40 euros on my balance and I needed to make 1 000 euros wager. That is really a lot and I saw it personally. After I spent about half of my money on the first 3-4 slot games I came to the game called Immortal Romance. This game has fixed 243 paylines and can sometime pay very well. I had one descent win of 34 euros on my 0.3 bet. But I lost that and a lot more later in the game. I stayed here until my balance dropped to 5 euros. Now what? I remember that I got from a 3 euros balance up to 50 euros in 10 minutes playing Avalon I. I was hoping I could do the same thing but that didn’t happen because I lost the remaining money on Avalon I.''

''bet way casino is from the Mg software and i recently played on this casino and i would love to share my experience here with every one. Licensed from the Malta so no worries about any frauds or payment related problems which casinos now a days do a lot and i see some complaints about this casino too from players on forums but not that big . Mostly were slow games and about bonus and all that and nobody complained about them cheating and all so i decide to create and account on this casino. They have a lot of free spins offer but the terms are very bad like not on all pay lines and on selected games only. Such offers are mostly of no use because you cannot really do much from them and it is more like a waste of time. I just deposited my money through the E-wallet and got straight to the action and started with the games. Immortal romance is the only good slot with good return to players here and i got my most winnings from this game only.I did not enjoy this casino as much as i had hoped i would. Table games were not that good too . From the beginning only i had a very slow start and i was not expecting this form the mg software. Or may be sometimes we lose because we cannot win all the time. But i was expecting a lot from this casino. Their support staff is very good and fast and i think they should come up with some good bonuses too. I would give this casino 6 out of 10. And if they manage to come up with some good offers then i would not mind coming back here and making another deposit.good offers and fast games are what i always look for in a casino. If they come up with something new then i think they have a very strong chance of being one of the best.''

Customer Support

Kiwi players are provided with 24/7 live customer support through email, live chat and a telephone line.

Banking

All traditional deposit and withdrawal methods are available, such as Visa and Mastercard. Commonly used e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller and, as of late, PayPal are allowed. The Paysafe card prepaid vouchers can also be used to deposit funds into your Betway account along with the POLi payment system, which is another favoured method in New Zealand. Since Betway is a casino accepting NZD, they’re especially attuned to the payment needs unique to Kiwi players.
Betway Casino does limit withdrawals somewhat.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that Betway Casino is a premium online casino in New Zealand, with a wide variety of pokies and casino games available along with Poker, Bingo and Sportsbook offers, all among the top of the industry. The welcome bonus at Betway is very generous as is the loyalty club and the customer support is always fast and on point.
