Welcome Bonus

You can tell quite a lot by the welcome bonus that an online casino offers. Is a casino, for instance, aimed at high-rollers or the man on the street? And, is the casino in question trying to reward its customers for their loyalty or trying to find a new way to fleece them? 

In the case of Casino Land casino, I would suggest that they fall between two stools. Based on the first four deposits that a player makes, the initial reward is good, as the player’s first deposit is doubled. However, the generosity of the scheme falls as customers make additional deposits. The bonus on the second deposit falls to 50%. For the third and fourth deposits, this rate falls again to 25%. All in all, players have to outlay $2,200 for an $800 bonus. It must be considered that alternative schemes are potentially more lucrative than this scheme. My advice would be to deposit an initial $200 to accrue a 100% bonus on that sum and then perhaps take advantage of the 2nd deposit offer as well. After that, I would seek to cut my losses. 

In total, players must deposit $2200 to accrue the full $800 bonus. With wagering requirements of x40 in place, this means that players will have to stake up to $120000 to ensure that associated winnings become payable. 

As is the industry norm though, this task is not straightforward. 

Bets on different casino products carry a different weighting. 

Therefore, 100% of the stakes that players make on most video slot games count towards the requirement, but this figure falls to 75% for bets made on classic slots games. 

Only 5% of stakes placed on all blackjack and live casino games count towards bonus wagering commitments.

Software

Casino Land Casino provides everything that you would wish for at a standard online casino. Therefore, if you are looking to play Live Casino, Slots, Roulette, Blackjack, Slingo and Table Games, then Casino Land is a site that is likely to keep your interest. However, Casino Land Casino also comes with a couple of downsides. Namely, this is a streamlined range of pokies and no sportsbook provision. 

Some stellar names from the software galaxy make an appearance at Casino Land Casino. However, perhaps not in the quantity that propels Casino Land into the upper echelons of pokies procurers. 

Play’n Go, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Evolution Gaming, Betsoft, NYX Gaming, Quickspin, and Thunderkick have all released their games onto the Casino Land site for the benefit of its customers. However, there are notable gaps in the software menu. Names such as Pragmatic Play and Push Gaming are not available. The outcome of this travesty is that although top pokies titles like Book of Dead, Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest Megaways, Legacy of Dead and Joe Exotic are available to the clients of Casino Land at the click of a button, some top titles are absent. For instance, players cannot play Wolf Golf, Big Bass Bonanza, Sweet Bonanza, Razor Shark or John Hunter and the Book of Tut at Casino Land. 

Betting

Casino Land Casino has amassed a good range of betting opportunities on its platform. From a glance at the site, the only downside that is glaringly obvious is that Casino Land has not gone to the effort to incorporate a sportsbook into its offer. 

For those of you that know me, you would already be aware that I am strong of the opinion that a sportsbook provides value for both casino operators and their clients. 

I say this because there is often a crossover between players who enjoy betting on casino products and those who like to bet on sports. 

In my eyes, therefore, it makes sense for casinos to offer a one-stop betting shop. It is much easier for players to cross lobbies on the same website and bet on their favourite sports than it is to set up an entirely separate account with the same provider. Casinos would benefit in this instance by increased levels of customer loyalty. 

However, what Casino Land does offer is of high quality. Players can immerse themselves in slots, Live Casino games, and Video Poker, as well as classic table games such as Blackjack, Baccarat, and Roulette. The range of games may be smaller than those that are found on other sites, however, there is more than enough choice to keep all casino fans occupied. 

Games

As previously suggested, Casino Land Casino has focused on quality over quantity when it came to creating its site. All in all, players have the option to bet on 1500 different products. Included in this number is around 1500 pokies titles. Casino Land has done well to include several leading franchises among this selection. For instance, fans of Megaways and Slingo games will be particularly impressed. Sixty-four different Megaways games are ready for customers to play, and Slingo fans have the option to experience forty-one separate franchised titles.

When it comes to living table games, Casino Land has been quick to use cutting edge technology. Evolution Live Gaming powers many products that are available on the live dealer section of the website. Live roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat, and game shows, can all be accessed by clients of Casino Land Casino. 

Withdrawal Times, Limit and Methods

The withdrawal times, limits, and methods offered by Casino Land Casino place it in the mix with its peers. 

The Casino Land Casino suggests that withdrawals can be made using the following methods:

The range of withdrawal methods with Casino Land Casino offers may be more restrictive than on other sites, however, the fact that players who use Skrill can access their winnings almost instantly is a better offer than many of its rivals. It can only be seen as an additional plus point that all withdrawals are fee-free.

On a case by case basis, Casino Land Casino are willing to negotiate withdrawal limits with any player who is elevated to the status of a VIP. 

Deposit Methods

Casino Land Casino appears to be quite flexible when it comes to players making deposits to their platform. Players can make deposits from a minimum of $10 up to a maximum that is acceptable to their banking providers. The deposits and withdrawals section of Casino Land’s website highlights the following methods of payment as being acceptable:

It will be disappointing that Casino Land only accepts deposits via a small number of methods. However, the fact that players can deposit up to a figure that is acceptable by their banking provider will be viewed as being a bonus for many. 

Casino Licenses

Casino Land Casino has done everything in its power to give confidence to its potential customers that it is not a fly by night organisation. It should not be a surprise, therefore, that Casino Land Casino has gone through the stringent licencing processes that have been put in place by the world’s two leading authorities in this field, The United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). By adhering to the exacting requirements that both of these legislators require, Casino Land Casino is proving that player security and fairness lie at the heart of its offer. UKGC and MGA approved casinos are required to offer the ring-fencing of deposits, SSL encryption, and responsible play tools as standard. 

The UKGC has provided Casino Land Casino, through its operator One Click Limited, with licence 48756. 

The MGA has provided Casino Land Casino with licence MGA/B2C/410/2017. 

Although these licences do not provide Kiwis with direct protection, they do ensure that Casino Land Casino must operate per the gambling laws in the jurisdictions in which they operate. In New Zealand, this means that Casino Land Casino must trade per the 2004 Gambling Act. 

Rewards System and VIP Treatment

The provision of a rewards system by an online casino operator often provides players with the opportunity to eke out a small edge over the house. The bonus spins and free cash that are on offer as part of loyalty schemes can often add to a player’s bankroll. The importance of these benefits is even greater when a player does not need to alter their betting strategies to rack up these rewards. For the benefit of customers at Casino Land Casino, it is therefore worth seeing how ‘The Club’ stacks up against rival offers. 

The Club is a tiered rewards system. Players can achieve any one of four loyalty levels:

• Bronze
• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum

Players move through these tiers as they wager real money on different gambling products. As a reward for regular play, club members receive free spins that can be converted into cash once wagering requirements have been met. 

Tuesday Spotlight Special is another perk that might pique the interest of many pokies connoisseurs. To qualify for this special offer members must deposit $50 or more on any given Tuesday. By doing this, players receive 50 free spins on a nominated slots title. Something that may well benefit medium-staking customers.

Player Protection

Protecting the well-being of its customers is a big focus for the team at Casino Land Casino. As a casino brand that is regulated by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC), player protection tools take on particular importance. The UKGC is one of the world’s most stringent licencing bodies. It does not award licences to firms that do not provide player protections. In the case of Casino Land Casinos, player protections include,

• Financial Limits (Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
• Reality Checks
• Timeout Tools (24 hours – 6 weeks)
• Self-Exclusion (6 months – 5 years)

If a client of Casino Land feels that they need to use one of these control systems, players can set these up in two ways.

First, players can action these tools by navigating through the links which are embedded in the responsible gaming section of the website. Alternatively, players can set up any limit, timeout period or self-exclusion by contacting the customer service team by email at support@casinoland.com. 

Winners

Online Casinos love to bring rags to riches stories to the attention of the wider public. Now, I have two alternative theories as to why this might be the case. Casinos could just be offering their wholehearted congratulations to one of their clients who possess the luck or skill to significantly lighten their satchels. However, I tend to think that this is a cunning marketing ploy. After all, if one of Casino Land’s clients has landed a multi-million dollar win, why can’t you? Casino Land is banking on everyone chasing the same dream. However, Casino Land can claim one of New Zealand’s most iconic gambling payouts. 

Many Kiwi’s will have heard about the payout of $10.1 million to Rawiri Pou in 2016. The shop worker from Matamata won this colossal sum whilst playing Mega Moolah. He also happened to be doing this on the Casino Land website! So the moral of the story is, take what online casinos tell you with a pinch of salt, but if you do feel that you have a chance of being New Zealand’s next multi-millionaire, playing on the range of progressive jackpot games that Casino Land has amassed might be a good place to start.
