Playzee Casino Review New Zealand 2024

The very first thing you are greeted with at the Playzee New Zealand site is a huge advertisement for their welcome bonus. Since it will likely be your first impression of them, we thought it was only fitting to start our Playzee review right here, just as we do with our other bookmaker reviews New Zealand and beyond.

The welcome bonus for the Playzee casino offers 100% up to $300 bonus, 100 free spins and 500 Zee points for the first deposit. Is this part and parcel of one of the best betting sites in New Zealand? Is this some of the best free spins for New Zealand players? Only a look at the terms and conditions can really tell us the truth.

The minimum deposit is $20, and winnings from those spins are capped at $50, which is fairly reasonable. Bonus funds must be used within 30 days and most important of all to our Playzee ratings is that the wagering requirement is 35x, which is very competitive for this kind of bonus. However, we realise the importance of the Playzee New Zealand welcome offer, so be sure to check out our Playzee bonus review for even more details.

In addition to this, Playzee actually has different bonus offers every single day of the week. For instance, Buzee Monday gets you double points playing a new game, Crazy Tuesday gets you 10% cash back, and Eazee Friday provides a $5 bonus up to $20 for every $100 wagered.

Check the site for full terms and conditions, but just as was the case with the welcome bonus, we found them to be very reasonable and we love having a fresh promotion each day of the week. This not only showcases value but also creativity, meaning very positive Playzee ratings here.

The looks of the Playzee casino site is obviously going to be something which to an extent comes down to personal preference. Playzee has a bright, brash and colourful style that some people will absolutely love, while others won’t care for it much. This fact won’t affect our Playzee ratings either way though because we understand that aesthetics are a matter of opinion. However, in terms of pulling off this style, we would say that we think Playzee does do a very, very good job here.

One thing that we can say objectively though is that from a useability standpoint, Playzee is absolutely terrific. This is in part thanks to how technically sound they are. We found no technical hiccups whatsoever during our time with the site. This, alongside the fact that they have clearly spent a lot of time thinking deeply about the best way to structure the site, makes it as easy to use as possible. In that regard, we would say it is mission accomplished. Great stuff.

Of course, all the great promotions and seamless site design in the world don’t mean much if you’re a Playzee New Zealand user who can’t find a payment option to suit you. These kinds of issues are common, so we are happy to say that we have a general online betting guide for New Zealand players if you want to read more about these kinds of subjects generally.

Back to our Playzee review and the options available include bank transfer, boku, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Trustly, Inter & Interac E Transfer and PayPal.

Bank transfer, Skrill and Neteller state they are available for most countries, as do the card examples. These are all instant,. Skrill and Neteller, however, do have fees that the payment provider sets. So, we can’t put that as a negative on our Playzee ratings, as it is beyond the operator’s control.

Withdrawals are executed on the first working day requested. Bank transfers can take between 3-5 working days, as can the card options, while Skrill should be close to instant, as should Neteller. That fact makes the latter two a natural recommendation for anyone for whom speed is of the essence.

All in all, it’s a solid selection, backed up by clear and easy to find information.

Customer service begins with an excellent Help or FAQs section which really goes a long way in answering a lot of important questions. As always, this can often circumvent the need for things like live chat, but not always. We have yet to come across a bookmaker with a Help section so good that they don’t require any contact methods: it’s just always needed.

Well, we are happy – and our Playzee ratings are grateful – for the fact that Playzee offers contact via both email and live chat. Most importantly, that live chat is available 24/7. We tried it out and were very impressed by the almost instant response and very friendly team, even at unsociable hours.

Also important to note is that Playzee New Zealand is also available in several languages, including English, German, French, Suomi, Norweigan, Swedish and Spanish. This is another success story for our Playzee review.

Above all else, the most important questions to answer in this Playzee review are “is Playzee reliable?” and “is Playzee secure?”. Without these being a big positive, we cannot give good Playzee ratings.

Well, let’s start off with the license. Reflecting the international appeal of Playzee is the fact that they are available through the licensing and regulation of the Gambling Commission of Great Britain, the Swedish Gambling Authority and the Malta Gaming Authority. You don’t get much more legitimate than that.

They also have a serious responsible gambling policy, providing links to the likes of GamSTOP and BeGambleAware.org, alongside play protection tools like deposit limits, game time reminders, time outs and self exclusion. Even if this doesn’t seem very important to you personally, it is still something you should take seriously, as it is a reflection on how a bookmaker views their customer base responsibilities. We are happy to say that Playzee New Zealand looks very good in that regard.

In terms of keeping kids safe, there’s links to support sources which can help block inappropriate sites, a step which really shows that Playzee are thinking ahead of the competition in that regard. They also require identification and documentation if they have any suspicions that a user is under 18 years.

Finally, encryption technology is used to ensure your data is kept safe from internet baddies, meaning it’s a full house in this round of our Playzee review.

You probably noticed us mention Zee points during our earlier section on promotions and wondered what that was all about. Well, in Playzee’s attempts to be considered amongst the best casino offers New Zealand has to offer, they’ve tied their other promotions into their VIP program.

The way it works is pretty simple: you need a certain amount of points to go up different pro statuses, from Zee Club all the way to the Zee Secret Society, which is invitation only. This is obviously for high rollers so it should come as little surprise that to climb beyond the first step – which is available to everyone who has deposited – you require 7,500 points, with every $5 bet on slot machines, for instance, counting as a point. You do, however, get 500 points on your first deposit as a boost.

Nonetheless, we’ve certainly seen much, much higher amounts asked for in similar loyalty schemes and prizes here include more weekly spins, high and faster withdrawals and a personal account manager. It all sounds decent enough and if someone was going to use the site that much anyway, this can only be seen as a positive – but we do think that they could have gotten a touch more creative with this.
