This Aussie based online casino offers a unique bonus offer and a local feeling to it
G’day Casino, an Aussie-themed casino delivers a wide range of table games, slots and Live games. They also cater for the NZD with plenty of deposit and withdrawal methods. G’day Casino is entirely based on flash which means you can instant-play and don’t have to download anything to access its full range of games.
There is a 100% match bonus available for new players at G’day Casino, with the unusual attraction of there being no upper limit to the match (minimum deposit $20, to be made within 7 days of registering for an account). This means, therefore, that no matter the size of your initial deposit, your bankroll is immediately doubled.
In addition, for all first deposits over $100, players receive a carton of 12x Victoria Bitter stubbies—an offer that applies to Kiwi players as well as Aussies. There is a further $10 no deposit bonus available as part of the Welcome Bonus as well. All wins using this bonus (up to $100) are transferred to your bonus account to continue plying with, once you make a first deposit (only available for play on pokies and bingo games).
The playthrough requirement at G’day Casino is 30x, which is in about the middle of the industry range. For pokies players, however, the good news is that pokies count 100% towards this; for regular players of other games the news is not so encouraging, as no other games make any contribution towards the wagering requirement.
Overall, this is a good introductory offer but one that is designed almost exclusively for pokies players. The fact of there being no limit to the size of the 100% match is novel and could be very appealing for those who favour a large bankroll, especially when combined with a reasonable 30x playthrough requirement.
One of the biggest draws of G-day Casino is the sheer variety of games on offer. This is because you will find pokies from NetEnt casinos, Leander Games, NYX Interactive and BetSoft Gaming, and in total there are over 240 different titles to choose from. All games are played in Flash and so there is no casino software to download; this also means that all games can be played for free in demo mode.
The selection of online pokies on offer includes 3D video pokies, old-school fruit machines, themed games and progressive jackpots:
Table game players can choose from 20 varieties of blackjack (including high stakes games) and a dozen versions of roulette, as well as craps, baccarat, Caribbean stud poker and Texas Hold’em.
The Live Casino offers blackjack, roulette and baccarat dealt by real dealers, and there are also a host of scratchcard, keno and lottery games to choose from. You can also have a punt on virtual horse races, American football, soccer and rugby.
To access the mobile casino, enter your cell phone number in either the main site or the mobile site, and you are then sent a link that takes you to the mobile casino. Players who have previously registered for an account can use the same username and log in details. The same Welcome Bonus is on offer if you sign up in the mobile casino as is available at the main site, and the same banking methods can also be used.
The Flash mobile-optimised casino enables you to play games directly in your device browser; however, it is also possible also to access the full casino site via a button on the mobile casino home page, although this site isn’t optimised for mobile and tablet use.
There are 19 mobile-optimised pokies to choose from in the mobile casino, including Aliens, Starburst, South Park and Gonzo’s Quest. Blackjack and roulette can also be played.
There is no VIP club on offer at G’day Casino. Instead, they choose to focus on frequent ongoing rewards for their regulars, which ultimately represents better value for the majority of players.
After you’ve opened your account, every subsequent deposit attracts a 10% match bonus (up to $50). Winnings using the bonus are credited to your bonus account to continue playing with. In addition, there is a weekly Facebook draw, where every Wednesday a player with a real money account who has Liked the G’day Casino Facebook page is selected to win a $50 bonus.
Other ongoing promotions include:
Other bonuses and special offers are notified to players via email and through the casino’s newsletter, so it pays to keep in touch to take advantage of these and other regular bonus offers.
As you would expect from an Australian online casino, POLi is offered as a payment method for players at G’Day Casino (also available to New Zealand players). In addition, Visa and Mastercard are also offered, as are uKash pre-paid vouchers, Neteller and Paysafe e-wallets, along with iDeal, a system for processing online payments directly from your bank account. New Zealand players are required to play in NZD.
In order to prevent fraud and money laundering, players are required to submit a selection of documents (e.g. copy of credit card, photo ID, proof of address, etc.) before a withdrawal can be processed, and it’s important to ensure that you fulfil these conditions.
There is a minimum withdrawal amount of $30, and a daily maximum limit of $2,500. All transactions are secure and encrypted with 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer Digital Encryption) to ensure your personal information remains secure.
The scope and variety of pokies on offer at G’day Casino is ultimately its main appeal for New Zealand players (if you can get past the overblown stereotypical Aussie images and language!). It’s good to have the opportunity to enjoy some new and innovative games from up-and-coming developers alongside a well-established name like NetEnt. The no match limit Welcome Bonus is a good innovation, particularly for high rollers and very regular players, while the ongoing promotions mean that you can get some real value for money here.
