Contact Us
If you have a question about a casino we cover, a correction to a review, or a partnership enquiry, this page explains how to reach Best Online Casino NZ and what happens next. We are an independent comparison site for New Zealand players — we do not run casinos, hold player funds or process withdrawals, so knowing who to contact for what will save you time.
What our team can help with
Most messages we receive fall into a handful of categories. These are the ones where writing to us is genuinely the fastest route to an answer:
- Corrections and outdated details. Bonus terms, wagering multipliers, payment methods and withdrawal limits change without notice. If something on the site no longer matches what an operator publishes, tell us which page and what you saw.
- Review requests. Suggest a casino accepting New Zealand players that we have not yet researched, and we will add it to the queue.
- Questions about our method. Why one site outranks another, how editorial ratings are formed, or what we check before listing an operator.
- Feedback on the content. Sections that are unclear, tables that are hard to read on a phone, or topics you expected to find and did not.
- Commercial and media enquiries. Affiliate partnerships, advertising and press questions.
What we cannot resolve for you
We have no access to any casino's back office. That means we cannot unlock an account, release a pending withdrawal, reverse a closed bet, reinstate a forfeited bonus, or intervene in a verification dispute. Those matters sit entirely with the operator and, where applicable, its licensing authority.
If you have an unresolved issue with a casino, the sequence that usually works is:
- Contact the operator's own support — live chat first, then email so you have a written record. Quote your account ID and the exact date and amount involved.
- If there is no resolution, ask the operator to escalate to a formal complaint and request its complaints procedure in writing.
- Take the complaint to the casino's licensing jurisdiction or its nominated alternative dispute resolution body. The licence details and verification link are normally published in the site footer.
- Keep screenshots of bonus terms, transaction history and chat transcripts throughout. Disputes are decided on evidence.
Let us know how it went. We cannot arbitrate, but a pattern of complaints about one operator is exactly the sort of signal that changes how we rate it.
Before you write: the answer may already be on the site
A fair share of the questions we get are already covered in our guides. It is worth a look at our editorial approach and who we are, our responsible gambling tools and support services, and the terms governing use of this site. If you are researching operators outside the usual self-exclusion frameworks, we also maintain a separate page on casinos operating without GamStop.
Where the operators we list sit, and who to contact there
The casinos ranked on Best Online Casino NZ are offshore businesses. New Zealand does not license online casinos run from within the country, so the sites available to Kiwi players are licensed and regulated in overseas jurisdictions. Practically, that means your contract is with the offshore operator, its published terms govern the account, and any formal complaint goes to its regulator rather than to a New Zealand body. Always open the operator's footer and check the licence number and verification link before depositing.
Three of our top-ranked sites, and the kind of contact question each tends to generate:
LuckyDreams — our highest-rated listing
LuckyDreams sits at the top of our table with an editorial rating of 10.0, largely because its welcome package and its breadth of pokies and live tables score well together rather than one at the expense of the other. The advertised offer is up to $10,000 plus 500 free spins, which is a maximum across a staged package rather than a lump sum on one deposit — the amount you actually receive depends on what you put in, and the bonus carries wagering requirements, an expiry window and a maximum cashout that you should read before opting in. Free spins are usually restricted to named pokies.
Limitation: a headline figure that large is only reachable by players depositing at the top of the range, so the value most people see is a fraction of it. Contact queries about LuckyDreams most often concern spin eligibility and wagering contribution — both answered in the operator's bonus terms, not by us.
VegasNow — close behind on ratings
VegasNow rates 9.9 with us and is listed for a welcome offer of up to $8,000 plus 500 free spins, again tiered across deposits and subject to wagering, time limits and withdrawal caps. It earns its place through a consistent all-round profile: pokies, table games and live dealer rooms in the same account, with a mobile layout that holds up on smaller screens.
Limitation: a lower headline maximum than several sites below it in the ranking, which matters if you are a high-stakes depositor comparing on that number alone. Support hours are set to the operator's own schedule, not New Zealand time, so plan for overnight replies.
LetsLucky — the smaller, tighter package
LetsLucky also rates 9.9 and takes a different route: $4,500 plus 300 free spins, a more modest ceiling that is often more realistic to work through. Deliberately smaller packages tend to come with terms that a mid-stakes player can actually clear, though you must still check the wagering multiplier, the expiry date and the maximum cashout attached to bonus winnings.
Limitation: fewer spins and a lower cap than the packages above, and free-spin value is typically fixed at a low per-spin amount. If breadth of promotion matters more to you than clearability, it will look thin.

Ratings are our own editorial scores. They are not customer review averages, and they are not a prediction of your experience.
Money questions we are asked most
Costs are the single biggest source of contact messages, so here is the general shape of how it works at offshore casinos serving New Zealand. Specific figures vary by operator and by method, and you should confirm them in the cashier before committing.
- Cost to take part. Nothing to register or browse. You pay when you deposit, and every deposit is money at risk. A bonus is never free money: it requires a qualifying deposit and wagering before any of it converts to withdrawable balance.
- Deposits. Card, e-wallet, prepaid voucher and bank transfer are the usual families of method, with some sites adding crypto. Minimum deposits are commonly low; maximums depend on the method and your account status.
- Currency conversion. If a casino settles in a currency other than NZD, your bank or wallet applies a conversion cost on the way in and again on the way out. Accounts denominated in NZD avoid that double hit.
- Withdrawals. Usually paid back to the method you deposited with, subject to daily, weekly or monthly limits. E-wallets typically clear faster than bank transfers; card refunds sit in the middle. Operators publish their own processing windows.
- Verification. KYC — photo ID, proof of address, sometimes proof of payment ownership — is required before a first withdrawal at any reputable site. Uploading documents early is the simplest way to avoid a delay later.
- Fees. Many casinos absorb transaction fees; some pass them on, particularly for repeat withdrawals within a short period or for unverified accounts.
What these casinos actually offer
If your message is about where to find a particular type of game, the libraries at the sites we list generally break down as follows:
- Online pokies — the largest category by some distance, spanning classic three-reel, video slots with feature rounds, Megaways-style mechanics and progressive jackpot titles. Check the published RTP percentage and volatility on each game: high volatility means longer dry spells and larger, rarer wins.
- Table games — blackjack, roulette, baccarat and poker variants in RNG form, often with several rule sets side by side.
- Live dealer rooms — real dealers streamed in real time, covering the same table classics plus game-show formats. Minimum stakes are usually higher than RNG tables.
- Mobile play — browser-based at most sites, working across iOS and Android phones and tablets without a download. Live tables are the most bandwidth-hungry part of any casino app.
Wagering contribution differs sharply by category. Pokies typically count at or near 100 percent toward a bonus, while table and live games often count far less or not at all. That detail decides whether a welcome package is realistically clearable for how you play.
The other products these operators run
Several of the brands on our list are not casino-only. Sportsbooks sit alongside the casino at a number of them — 22bet is widely known for betting markets as much as for slots — and you will also encounter virtual sports, esports markets and standalone poker or bingo rooms. These run under separate terms: a casino welcome bonus almost never applies to sports stakes, and sports bonuses rarely carry across to pokies. If your enquiry concerns a sportsbook promotion, check which product the terms name before contacting anyone.
Eligibility, licensing and your obligations
You must be at least 18 to open an account at any casino we list, and registration details must be your own and accurate — mismatched names at the KYC stage are the most common cause of blocked withdrawals. One account per person, per household, per device is the standard rule.
The operators here are based offshore and licensed overseas; New Zealand does not issue licences for online casino operations. That places responsibility on you to verify the licence yourself: locate the licence number in the footer, follow the regulator's verification link and confirm the named company matches. Read the terms on bonus abuse, dormant accounts and country restrictions before depositing.
If gambling has stopped being entertainment, deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, time-outs and self-exclusion are available inside your account at reputable operators. Our responsible gambling page sets out those tools and lists the free support services available to people in New Zealand. If you are contacting us in distress, please reach a support service rather than waiting on an email reply from us.
How we assess the sites we list, and how we are funded
Best Online Casino NZ earns commission when a reader opens an account through one of our links. That funds the site. It does not buy a ranking, and no operator can pay to move up the table or to have a drawback removed. Positions come from our own research — licence and verification checks, published bonus terms read in full, the spread of pokies, tables and live rooms, the range of NZ-friendly payment methods and stated withdrawal timings, mobile handling, support availability, and the responsible-gambling tools offered. We research and verify published information; we do not claim to have deposited or played at these sites.
Details were last checked on Sep 22, 2026 by Zoe Marshall. Operators change terms frequently, so where our page and a casino's own cashier or terms disagree, the operator's current wording is the one that binds you — and we would appreciate hearing about the discrepancy.
Response times and what to include
We are a small editorial team, not a 24-hour desk, and we read messages during New Zealand business hours. A clear message gets a faster useful reply. Include the page you were reading, the operator's name, what you expected versus what you found, and a screenshot if you have one. Please do not send account numbers, passwords, copies of your ID or card details — we have no use for them and no way to act on them.
Choosing where to go next
If your question is about a specific account, the operator's own support is the only place it can be resolved. If it is about which casino suits you, the useful comparison is not the biggest headline number but the combination of a clearable wagering requirement, a payment method you already use in NZD, withdrawal limits that match how you play, and a licence you can verify in under a minute. Work through our rankings with those four filters, read the terms on the operator's site before you deposit, and set a deposit limit at registration rather than later. When you are ready to tell us something we have missed, we are listening.
