CasinoGB review

This does not have an overseas licence. Until local licensing starts, the checks that matter are the licence a site actually holds — Malta, the United Kingdom, Curaçao — and what its own published terms say.

About CasinoGB

The site's name may appear strange. For instance, it is not very audacious. The name was chosen because the site is owned by someone in the NZ and it really hammers home how much it focuses on English players. After all, GB refers to Great Britain, which is, well, just that. A player called ProgressPlay Limited runs this site. Now, ProgressPlay is not a flimsy outfit, nor is it one I would recommend avoiding. Its portfolio is really solid, and this site is about as good as any in that portfolio.

You can currently access CasinoGB in New Zealand, and you can get support during most of the day in New Zealand. There is a pretty small but incredibly wide selection of games, with 400+ games that you can explore. You can take part in regular promotions and a VIP program that is downright luxurious. The site could be designed better, but that's no reason toft opt out entirely. Read our full review of CasinoGB to learn more.

Casinogb bonuses

• CasinoGB has no an overseas licence and therefore no bonus for New Zealand casino players.
• Here you can find our best bonus offers at casinos that accept New Zealand players.

There are two installments of the CasinoGB bonus. You have the option to choose a freespins package for all four moments: registration, first deposit, second deposit. Alternatively, you could pass on those freespins and take a classic 100% bonus instead. That is the whole bonus picture at CasinoGB.

How to get free spins To start playing with a free spins bonus, the offer is as follows: 1. After you register, you will be given 5 free spins that do not require a deposit, using the bonus code “GB5.” Upon making your initial deposit (which must be no less than an amount set by the casino), you will be awarded 15 Free Spins on Starburst. To redeem this offer, you should use the bonus code “STAR15”. When you make your second deposit (of the minimum the casino sets), you receive 25 Free Spins on Bonanza. To get this offer, you need to use the bonus code “BON25.”

Here's how to get your bonus To receive a bonus that adds a substantial amount of play money to my account, I must make a qualifying deposit. I do not need a bonus code for this. My bonus will be 100% of my deposit, and it will be applied straight into my account.

Wagering requirements

The number you need to monitor at CasinoGB is “50.” If you hold an active Deposit bonus, you must play through that bonus a total of 50 times before you can ask for any of your money back (i.e., a withdrawal). In case you are lucky enough to win any money from free spins, the same 50 times applies to that bonus, too. However, we should also mention that the big caveat here is that you can only 'convert' (turn the bonus money into your own money) a maximum of five times the matched bonus into real money. If you happen to win money from free spins, that money also has a maximum limit.

Loyalty program

At first glance, it may not look like CasinoGB has a loyalty program. But it does, and the program can be really appetizing for those who make more than average sales. It is a classic story through which you get progressively more perks the more points you accumulate. You start at the level Bronze and then work your way up to the level Diamond. CasinoGB loyalty program is open to all players.

Game selection

CasinoGB has a vast experience in games. They have worked with a huge number of game developers. The game developers range from the well-known to the barely known, but all seem to be pretty good at what they do. They have put together a selection of games that is pretty solid across the board—at least as solid as any other site I have seen.

Even so, the overall total of games isn't all that impressive. You won't find the total creeping up toward 500. You'll probably see a little over 400. That's more than you could ever play, really, in one lifetime, but considering that most sites have at least double that, CasinoGB stands out in a slightly negative way.

The unfortunate thing is navigation. It is a bit clumsy, and one does not immediately jump with lightning speed between the various departments and suppliers. It is interesting, though, to note that the navigation works quite a bit better on mobile platforms. Since the site is otherwise completely mobile-first, it probably performs better on mobile and tablet.

Jackpot games

Sadly, at CasinoGB, there is some skimping on the jackpot games. The main games in this category are King Cashalot and Tunzamunni, which are honestly just really old titles from Microgaming. You can also find Divine Fortune and Dolphin Gold, which may add a bit more weight to the jackpot section.

Online casino

The vast majority of online casinos opt for Evolution Gaming as a live dealer casino provider. CasinoGB has not done this. Instead, they have a contract with NetEnt and Extreme Live Gaming. Unfortunately, with these two providers, the live dealer game selection is quite meager. At present, you can only play blackjack and roulette in the form of a live dealer at CasinoGB. Let's hope that maybe in the near future, the selection of live dealer games will be a bit more robust.

CasinoGB support

CasinoGB takes pride in the support they provide to players. We have no complaints about the support aspect of CasinoGB.

Help is always available, day or night, through email or live chat. But if you insist on having customer service located in New Zealand, your best bet is to contact them from 10 AM to 11 PM your time. Casino GB does a commendable job of offering both broad and niche information across its various subpages. The layout of the Q & A sections leaves much to be desired, but the content itself is A-OK.

Deposits and withdrawals

CasinoGB presents an assortment of payment alternatives for its players to choose from. They include MasterCard, VISA, instant bank transfer, Paysafecard, and a few others that we would class more liberally. The ones we think of as the best for New Zealand players—ecoPayz, Skrill, Neteller, and bank payment—are also available. All transactions are perfectly secure, and the cashier is easy to navigate. A feature we particularly like is the detailed presentation of each payment method, which includes all the relevant particulars about the deposits and withdrawals one can expect to make with it.

The minimum deposit for the Casino at CasinoGB is an amount set by the casino. However, please note that you might have to deposit more to activate specific bonus offers. The minimum possible withdrawal is an amount set by the casino. For withdrawals, as is usual at MGA casinos, it's necessary to make a preliminary withdrawal before additional withdrawals can be made.

A distinct downside to the site is that it can often take a long time to receive your funds. They process all payouts in one day. After that, though, there are payment methods that can take up to a week to actually get the money to you.

Summary

CasinoGB is a pretty good online casino, in most ways. In some other ways, though, it does pull down the overall impression a bit. We're just not that impressed with the design and some of the bonus rules. On the plus side, finding support almost around the clock from New Zealand is a feather in the cap. Also a feather in the cap. The overall game offering is such that we find tons of favorites, almost. In that way, we kind of love this place.
