Betting

With more than 1000 games on show at this online casino, you won’t be short on action!

The Live Casino section has all you need for the vibe of the real thing, including Casino Hold’Em, Live Baccarat, Japanese Roulette and Blackjack Party, to name a few.

Fans of game show style betting can also enjoy Dream Catcher and Football Studio.

If a live dealer isn’t your bag, then head to the Table Games section where you can find Single Deck Blackjack, Deuces Wild, European Roulette, Joker Poker and Baccarat.

In the Sportsbook section, you will find Live and Scheduled betting for a vast array of sports, including Football, Basketball, Cricket, Rugby, Curling, Cycling, Hockey and even Chess.

The Sportsbook at The Online Casino contains all the key features you’d expect from a quality sportsbook, including stats galore, in-game graphics and multiple bet options such as win plus over a set number of goals in the football.

You can also filter games by country as well as sport.

At The Online Casino, you can bet pre-match or live. There’s a handy settings function on the bet slip, which allows you to choose whether you accept odds movements or just those that are higher than your original bet.

What I really like about this sportsbook is the results section, where you can filter by sport and date.

This is a great way to view any previous results before clicking confirm on your bet slip.

Software & Games

The vast bulk of the casino offering at The Online Casino is slots. A total of 60+ games providers bring this site to life, including NetEnt, Evolution and Microgaming.

If it is the thought of winning a large jackpot that thrills you, then you’re in for a treat.

There are more than 50 Jackpot games here, including The Guard, Pigsy and Treasure Nile.

You can also filter by provider. Click on Blueprint Gaming, for instance, and titles such as Vikings Unleashed Mehgaways will pop up along with other great titles such as Kingdom of Fortune and Rhino Rampage.

After that, the navigation is a bit thin on themes. You’ll need to either start scrolling or search for something.

Type in Megaways, and you’ll find more than 30 titles, including Rainbow Wilds Megaways, Pirate Kingdom Megaways and Shamrock Holmes Megaways.

This casino really needs more themes/categories. It would benefit greatly from categories of features such as stacked wilds or sticky wilds. Equally, themes such as Magic or Science Fiction would help improve the navigation significantly.

Withdrawal Times, Limit and Methods

There is a great mix of withdrawal methods at The Online Casino, including traditional banking such as Visa and Mastercard.

You can also withdraw using eWallets, including Neteller and ecoPayz.

Withdrawals are subject to a processing fee of $2.50 per withdrawal. Minimum withdrawal is $20 for most banking methods apart from bank transfer which is $50.

The maximum you can withdraw in any one month is $22,000 with the exception of a Progressive Jackpots win, which is paid out in full.

Deposit Methods

There are plenty of ways to get your hard-earned NZ$ into this casino, from traditional methods such as Visa to eWallets, including Neteller. Don’t forget, if you deposit by Skrill, you are excluded from the welcome offer.

The minimum deposit is $10.

Casino Licenses

The Online Casino is operated by Muchogaming and is licenced in Curacao under the licence 365/JAZ.

Muchogaming is a full turnkey service for casinos supporting payment mechanisms, customer service and software. 

They emerged into the gambling scene in 2020 but have already partnered with some big players, including NetEnt, Microgaming and Evolution.

They also operate a number of other casinos, including Jackpot Paradise.

Be under no doubt, this is a reputable firm and backed by a creditable licence.

New Zealand players have nothing to lose sleep over at this online casino.

Rewards System and VIP Treatment

There’s nothing better than a casino that keeps on giving long after you’ve joined.

The Online Casino doesn’t have a VIP area, but it does have a fun rewards programme where you complete missions to unlock rewards.

And best of all, it is overflowing with ongoing promotions.

Offers at the time of this review included: 

Mega March – Consisting of four Deposit Bonuses worth up to $1500 and 360 free spins.

Double Delicious – This is a promise to email you some offers so you can enjoy them twice.

Friday Points Boost – Deposit and play on a Friday and get extra points.

Rewarding Wednesdays – Spin the wheel and win points.

There’s also Cashback Weekends, Saturday Spinner and Sunday = Funday.

All of these offers have terms and conditions attached; it’s always important to read them before you start spinning.

Player Protection

Every online casino should do its utmost to protect its players.

Gambling can be addictive, and putting in a sound policy backed by practical tools to help, should be par for the course.

I’m glad The Online Casino has its house in order.

On their dedicated webpage, you’ll find all the information you need.

They point out that gambling should be seen as entertainment and not ways to “get rich fast”.

There are also handy tips such as keeping track of how much you are spending and understanding the rules of the games before playing.

To set daily, weekly or monthly limits which include deposits, losses and wagers.

Any changes will only come into effect after seven days. You can also set time limits for how long you play simply by logging into the Accounts section.

If you need some time out, then you can for up to 42 days. You can do this via the responsible gambling settings or by emailing customer services.

You can also self-exclude for between six and 12 months or cancel your account.

The webpage also has handy links to third party support networks.

Winners

There is no winners podium here, which is a shame.

It’s a shame for two reasons. The first is that a winners’ table showcases that a big win is possible; plus, as a player, you get to see which games people are winning big on.

Secondly, if your primary rewards programme is a ‘play challenges in order to win rewards’ feature, it makes perfect sense to show a winner’s table alongside it.

The Online Casino is missing a trick here, in my book at least.

Conclusion

The Online Casino first emerged in 2020, and it has a lot going for it.

It welcomes new players with a decent opening offer, there’s a great mix of games to play, and it has a sportsbook.

I love the ongoing promotions page, which is rammed with different ways to treat loyalty, backed up by a fun rewards programme.

They take responsible gambling seriously and have many practical ways to keep players safe.

It looks fun, and it is aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. It offers something for newbies and tried and tested gamblers alike.

But there’s an old saying: “If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all be having a Merry Christmas”. 

What do I mean by that? Well, there are a lot of delicately written terms and conditions here. 

For instance, you need to wager the bonus 50x with the opening offer, BUT you also have to wager through your deposit first.

Your bonus money kicks in BUT only after your real money balance is nil.

You get free spins as part of ongoing rewards but IF you win, you can only win a maximum of $20.

All casinos have terms and conditions similar to these. However, The Online Casinos seem a little tighter than most of their competitors.

Having said that, if you’re looking for fun and an excellent casino to enjoy, then The Online Casino is for you.

If you’re looking to try and squeeze some profit from offers, then read the terms and conditions before deciding.
