Casinoland

Welcome Bonus

Casinoland offers a fairly generous welcome bonus that is constituted by bonuses awarded on your first four deposits. The total you need to is $2,200 to receive $800 in deposit bonuses.

• Pokies: 100%
• Poker Machines: 75%
• Table and Other Games: Do Not Count

This makes the overall terms of the bonus somewhat worse than many other sites, especially as table games players have no way of playing through the bonus on their favourite games. That said, most New Zealand players tend to prefer pokies.

One major issue with Casinoland welcome offer you should be careful about is the fact the bonus is not available to players who deposit via e-wallets.

Games

When it comes to the games selection, Casinoland offers a fairly large number of choices. About 200 pokies from several gaming providers including Microgaming, NetEnt and Quick Spin are available on the desktop platform, which is played directly in the browser with no download needed.

The flash based platform includes many traditional and well known pokies like StarBurst along with a large number of new and less known pokies by the other providers. The finest progressive jackpot slots like Mega Moolah can also be played at Casinoland, allowing for potentially huge wins. There are 17 different progressive jackpot games, currently on site and its wroth giving each one a spin.

When it comes to the selection of other games, all the common ones like Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat are playable in several variations, along with a number of Video Poker games. The overall selection of games is not unprecedented, but is reasonably extensive.

In terms of banking, Casinoland is not what I would call the top of the industry. Allowed deposit

Mobile

For those of you who prefer playing casino games from your mobile devices, Casinoland has made absolutely all of their games Flash based and thus playable in mobile browsers across all types of mobile phones and tablets including iPhones, Androids, iPads and most other devices.

While most other casinos have some limitations as to which games can be played on the mobile platform, Casinoland has made it a mission to make all their games playable from mobiles and you will likely find the most extensive mobile games choice at Casinoland.

Promotions

On top of the generous welcome bonus available at Casinoland, you will also be able to take part in a number of periodic promotions organized by the site, which you will be notified about via emails or SMS once you are registered.

I have personally certainly played on sites which are more generous with promotions, but Casinoland is not the worst in this category either. They simply don’t put too much of an emphasis on it and they don’t have a loyalty club either as it seems they prefer awarding players on registration and periodically organizing some fun promotions.

Customer Support

When it comes to helping their customers out, Casinoland representatives will always be there for you through several different methods. If you have an issue you need looked at, you can always contact Casinoland support via email at support@casinoland.com or via live chat or 24 hour phone line +64 4488 0376.

Banking

In terms of banking, Casinoland is not what I would call the top of the industry. Allowed deposit methods include Mastercard and Visa credit cards as well as several prepaid cards and a number of e-wallets including Skrill and Neteller.

When I said not state of the art, there are two main things I meant. For one, Casinoland does not include PayPal as a payment option, which is extremely popular among New Zealand players and has been introduced by a large number of online casinos in the recent years. What is more, other e-wallet payments are not eligible for the deposit bonus, meaning Skrill and Neteller users don’t really get the full package when playing at Casinoland.

Finally, Mastercards cannot be used to withdraw money, which is fairly common with this card provider.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I must say that, while I am impressed by the number of games available and their diversity at Casinoland, as well as both the desktop and mobile platform, the casino actually lacks in several departments including both banking and promotions. There is no loyalty club and e-wallet users can’t benefit from the welcome offer.

Casinoland is not the number one casino I would recommend to New Zealand players, but if you have already played through many others and would like a shot at something new, it’s worth a shot. As long as you are prepared to work around the e-wallet bonus ban, you can still take full benefit from a fairly generous bonus and enjoy a diverse and great number of enjoyable and modern online pokies.
