Often times when people talk about casinos, or gambling online, it is purely to line their own pockets with the commission they make from referring they’re readers to the casino itself.
Which is exactly why I’m going to start out the article with this screenshot:

I’ve been a gambler since I was about 8 years old, when my uncle taught me how to play Blackjack.
It’s one of the few hobbies I truly love (and maybe sometimes a little bit too much!).
Today I’m going to share with you, what I consider to be the best Online Casino NZ, in 2017.
And don’t think I’ve only tried one casino in my time.
Take a look at this screenshot:

I used to be a huge fan of 888casino.
Played them pretty much weekly (or sometimes daily!) for about 2 years.
Eventually however I gave them up. It would take me about 10 tries to load up the online casino portion of 888. I would literally have to open and close the client between 8 and 17 times just to get it to work.
Then of course there is the case of it not accepting NZD (obviously I’m a kiwi). Whenever I deposited I’d lose money in the process (because of the currency conversion).
Now I can hear you screaming: “but if you won, you’d win more in kiwi dollars”!
Yeah sure. But you don’t always win gambling (funny that). At least if I deposit at 21casino, I know I gambled with the exact same amount of money I wanted too!
Anyway, enough off me complaining and moaning, let me introduce to you;
Twenty One Casino, is in my opinion the best online casino NZ.
They’ve been around since 2015. Here is the about page from their website so you can get a little bit more information about them:
I’ve not included all of the about page, as it’d just be too long, but if you’d like to read all of the about page click HERE.
I’m going to now go through some of my favorite things about 21Casino and why I personally think they are the best online casino choice for kiwis!
Sign Up Bonus
21 Casino has one of the best sign up bonuses that I have come across.
Just look at the below image to see what they offer:
You essentially can double your money up to 3400 dollars! (New Zealand dollars of course).
Here is a handy sign up table to show just how good of a deal you’re gonna get as a kiwi!
| Type | Amount (%) | Matched Amount | Wagering | BONUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Deposit | 121 | 350 | 35x | CLAIM NOW |
| Free Spins | 100 | 21 | 35x | CLAIM NOW |
It’s a fantastic bonus for someone that wants to start an account with a decent budget (btw this is the offer I’m linking to in the article!).
Game Selection
Slots
I’ve never been a huge slots player.
In fact just for fun I thought I’d go through my game history on 21casino, and see what percentage of the time I played a slot (this is another cool feature, helps you keep track of how you’re gambling).
It’s about 7 percent of my total game time.
However 21Casino has an extremely impressive amount of slots as well as Casino games.
Look at this gif of me trying to scroll down to the bottom of the slots page! ;

Live Dealers
I’m much more of a live dealer player then a slots player.
Just look at the recent games I played over the past weekend;
As you can see I’m a huge blackjack and roulette fan!
My favorite thing about the roulette and blackjack tables with 21 casino, is the large variety of minimum bets they have.
As much as I like to think of myself as a degenerate gambler, I only chuck around 50-100 dollars a week, on a Friday night, after a few beers!
So something that’s uber important to me, is the playtime I can get, out of the stakes I’m betting.
When I was gambling with 888casino, the minimum bet in Blackjack was always 5USD (I’m talking about live dealers here, not computer blackjack), however at 21Casino, they have a huge variety of different wagering options, to suit the level of play that suits you best!
Let’s look at blackjack first;
As you can see there are a wide variety of different table limits, ranging from 5 dollars, right up to even 250 dollars!
However if you go to the Net Ent tab (which is the one I play on most) you can get an even wider variety of wagering levels;
You can play a minimum of 2 dollars a bet in blackjack! This is once again, great for punters like me that want to spend a few hours gambling, and not have their balance destroyed in under 10 minutes!
Conclusion
I think 21Casino is personally the best online casino that I have used.
Their system is;
- Easy to navigate
- Caters to both low and high rollers
- Uses New Zealand dollars
- Has a massive variety of slots to play
- Has a fantastic sign up bonus
- Has regular random email bonuses
- And 24/7 support!
I’d highly recommend them for all of your Online Casino NZ needs!
As always thanks for reading
Matt!
