Playamo Casino Review

Playamo Casino bonus

Playamo offers a rather generous welcome bonus package, consisting of two deposit bonuses. You can either go for the NZ$375 + 150 free spins deal, or deposit at least NZ$1,500 and get the high roller bonus up to NZ$3,000.

It looks good, but if you take in consideration the bonus terms in full, it ends up being somewhat mediocre. Nevertheless, you can play a variety of games with the bonus funds and it should last you quite some time.

Bonus terms

The bonus terms are unfavorable to players. The unfavorable terms being the 50x bonus wagering requirement, where the average is under 50x and the max bet limit of NZ$6.5, when it’s common to find other online casinos enforcing a NZ$10 max bet limit.

Note that you need to deposit at least NZ$25 to claim the welcome bonus. Another thing that’s easy to come by is minimum qualifying deposits of NZ$20. Lastly, the time players have to complete the wagering requirement and cash out is not disclosed in the bonus policy.

Also, you can play an array of games to complete the wagering requirement.

• Slots – 100% (exceptions apply)
• Table games – Baccarat, Blackjack, Hi-Lo – 5% (except for games with a live dealer)
• Roulette, Poker – 5% (except for games with a live dealer)
• Videopoker – 5%
• Crash Games – 5%

Jackpot slots are not available for play with bonus funds.

For the full list of games consult the casinos terms and conditions tab.

Promotions for existing customers

If you are into bonuses you can take advantage of two offers every week. One of them is available on Monday and the other on Friday. The Friday Reload bonus is quite the treat, but you need to fulfill a key term to be eligible for these offers. 

You must have a deposit to bonus ratio of under 50%. In other words, you must deposit twice as much in real money as what you claim in bonuses. That’s a standard bonus fraud prevention term. However, we’d prefer if it was disclosed more transparently next to the weekly offers. It’s hidden among a ton of other terms in the bonus policy.

Overall, bonus players have access to ongoing promotions and a bunch of tournaments every week.

VIP program

The VIP program is not worthy of your attention. It’s a filler that most players will never benefit from. Here are the full details and what every new tier brings to the table.

As a reference, you get 1 CP for every NZ$15 wagered. Bets on slot games only can generate CPs. On the other hand, you can convert 100 CPs for NZ$1,25.

It will take millions in wagers to get to the supercar. It’s an impossible mission.

Casino games

There are more than 110 game providers at Playamo, we counted 116, including the live dealer studios. Ten years ago, this was almost unimaginable. While the bulk of the games are slots, players have access to a full range of casino games covering all types, such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat, video poker and poker.

The filters are average at best allowing players to filter the games by type and casino game studio only.

Live dealer games

There were a few weird things we noticed in the live casino section. First, there were virtual games listed next to live dealer games. We can’t quite say why they’ve done this, so we’re just going to say it’s human error. However, this can easily fool some players or other community members into thinking that the casino has more live games than they actually do.

The Playamo live casino is powered by the following live game studios:

• Evolution
• Pragmatic Play
• Ezugi
• Absolute Live Gaming (ALG)
• Atmosfera
• Altente
• Lucky Streak
• R. Franco

In all honesty, it’s a complete live casino game offer covering all possible game types and game shows. We recommend playing Evolution Gaming games. It’s an award winning studio year after year.

Banking

The banking options at Playamo are pretty standard, but all the bases are well covered. Whether you want to deposit with cards or e-wallets, you can do so with both. Additionally, there are a few lesser-known solutions also accepted, like CashtoCode and Mifinity.

Deposits

Depositing is not subject to any fees at Playamo, except the fees charged by your payment provider. In addition, all deposits are instant. Players can deposit in NZD and crypto. There are other currencies available too, but we don’t see how they can be relevant to players from New Zealand.

Deposit method	Limits
	NZ$10 – NZ$12,000
	NZ$10 – NZ$12,000
	NZ$10 – NZ$12,000
	NZ$20 – NZ$4,000
	NZ$20 – NZ$7,000
	NZ$20 – NZ$1,000
	0.0002 BTC
	0.01 BCH
	0.01 ETH
	1500 DOGE
	0.1 LTC
	10 USDT

Note, Playamo might ask for a proof of payment method. If you are depositing with a card, you might be asked to send a back and front photo of the card, to prove you actually have it with you. This is done to prevent credit card fraud.

Payouts

If you win big, you might have to wait a few days for the payout to get processed. Also, all withdrawals are subject to a pending period of up to 48 hours. Depending on the payment method you choose, it can take between 24 hours and 7 days to get your money out of Playamo Casino.

Withdrawal method	Limits	Payout time
	NZ$25 – NZ$6,000	1 – 3 days
	NZ$25 – NZ$4,000	Instant
	NZ$17.5 – NZ$7,000	Instant
	NZ$10 – NZ$4,000	Instant
	NZ$500 – NZ$4,000	3 – 5 days
	0.0002 BTC	Instant
	0.01 BCH	Instant
	0.01 ETH	Instant
	1500 DOGE	Instant
	0.1 LTC	Instant
	10 USDT	Instant

Crypto withdrawals are processed the moment they go through the fraud checks. E-wallet withdrawals like MiFinity, and their banking counterparts are processed faster than a regular bank transfer or a VISA withdrawal.

Here are the limits as stated in the Playamo withdrawal policy. No surprises here. The vast majority of players will never find this an obstacle.

• Daily limit: NZ$4,000
• Weekly limit: NZ$16,000
• Monthly limit: NZ$50,000

The withdrawal requests have a pending period of three days during which the casino reviews and processes the withdrawal request before initiating the payment. This means that once a withdrawal request is made, the casino will take up to three days to review and approve the transaction before the funds are released.

It’s important to note that the pending period is separate from the actual payment processing time. After the pending period, the casino will initiate the payment, and the time it takes for the funds to reach your account will depend on the chosen withdrawal method.

Is Playamo Casino reliable?

Playamo has all the traits of a borderline legit online casino. The Curacao license doesn’t do much, but there are positive reviews on the internet. Also, they’ve been around for more than 7 years which says a lot about their operations. Bonus players should check and double check the terms before placing a wager.

The games are fair as they are the genuine versions as initially conceived by their respective producers. Again, be wary if you are playing with bonus funds. If you are playing with real money only, you have nothing to worry about.

Customer support

No surprises in this department whatsoever. The live chat response time is up to par to industry standards. If live chat doesn’t work for you, you can use the contact form or send them an email directly at [email protected].

You can also verify your identity before you start playing. You can start the KYC verification procedure by clicking “My Account” > Profile > Verification. Here, you can provide ID proof, address proof and if necessary you can also verify your payment method. We recommend verifying your identity and location before claiming any bonuses.

Final verdict

Playamo is a good pick and we can recommend it. It’s licensed in Curacao only, but their actions speak louder than a certificate. We also suggest trying it out with real money wagers before dipping your toes in bonus territory. If you are going for the welcome bonus, make sure you don’t place any bets above the NZ$6.5 limit.

It’s a great online casino for slot players who are familiar with the industry and the game providers. New casino players might find it hard to navigate the vast game library.
