Fun Casino Review NZ

Expert Review

Fun Casino is a one-stop gambling solution offering a diverse gaming library and a massive sportsbook to New Zealanders. After spending an entire week playing and betting at Fun Casino, I found that they live up to their name. I was welcomed with a $123 bonus, which I claimed with my first deposit on the platform. Their gaming library has over 1,000 premium games from top game providers like Microgaming and NetENT that ensures an optimised and flawless gaming experience. Their sportsbook is no less diverse than their gaming library, with several popular sports listed, along with the most-watched tournaments which is a big plus.

The entire registration process only took around two minutes. I was provided with secure and instant banking options through which I made my first deposit. Fun Casino has live chat, phone, and email support in case you ever get into a problem. I also checked and verified the licence numbers of Fun Casino, making sure it is a legitimate casino and sportsbook. In this Fun Casino Review NZ, I will take a detailed look at their games, sportsbooks, bonuses, and more.

Games: 9.5/10

Fun Casino is one of those online casinos that focuses more on quality rather than quantity. While they don't offer thousands of games, the titles they have are premium, popular, and hot titles that you won’t want to miss out on. Fun Casino has all types of casino games, including slots, table games, casual games, live casino games, jackpot games, and more. All of these games combined add up to over 1,000 titles – more than enough to keep you busy for months. You can try new games whenever you are craving something different.

Fun Casino has partnered up with some of the best casino game providers in the industry. They even provide the option to select a particular game provider and display all of those games. Some of the top names I found in that list were Microgaming, NetENT, Evolution, IGT, Pragmatic Play, and Play’N Go.

I love how every game at Fun Casino looks. They have pretty amazing graphics as well as an engaging interface, allowing you to play the games easily. You can enter the full-screen mode, choose a bet size, or select different game modes as per your preferences. The only noticeable option missing was the option to play games in demo mode without signing up.

I tested out a few live casino games (baccarat and roulette) with real croupiers, all of who were lively and friendly. I got along with the other players in the room through the chat box. You need a stable internet connection for live casino gaming as the sessions are streamed to you in HD. The good news is that with my regular home WiFi, there was no buffering in live games or any lag in the slot games.

I had a flawless gaming experience in every game I tried at Fun Casino. The gameplay was smooth, the interface was lag-free, and I was able to play the games even on my mobile. This is another perk of having games from top game providers. Just make sure that your computer or device has a supported browser along with a suitable internet connection. 

The games at Fun Casino are safe and fair. I checked the RTP of several games and on average it was around 97%. You will have a fair and fun playing experience at Fun Casino with a high payout rate.

Betting: 9.7/10

As a gambling enthusiast, I love having the option to bet and play casino games in one place without switching platforms. Thankfully, Fun Casino has brought both options for their users. Plus, they have one of the most diverse sportsbooks I have ever reviewed. Fun Casino has almost 30 popular sports in their sportsbook that Kiwis can bet on. They have football, basketball, and cricket, along with many other sports, including rugby, MMA, horse racing, e-sports, and more.

The way they designed their betting interface is quite extraordinary. You can explore all the markets without confusing yourself and pick a bet by exploring different opportunities. In case you do not know where to get started, you can also check out the top leagues' section at the left-hand side of the site and see which tournaments are most watched and betted on. I also checked out different matches, and there were hundreds of markets available for each game. I could also choose between live betting or pre-match betting as I liked.

I prefer live betting as I evaluate my betting positions while checking out the scorecard and other opportunities. For each live game, Fun Casino provides bettors with a live scorecard, individual stats, and animated pitch, along with the option to customise their bet slip. By enabling the streaming filter on top of the betting section, you can also generate the list of sports that are streamed live right on Fun Casino. I did the same and watched the match and placed bets altogether. Fun Casino also provides you with the option to change the odds system or place different types of bets. You can place a single bet, multi bet, or system bet, whichever you are accustomed to.

Bonuses: 8.5/10

I found the promo section at Fun Casino quite dull and honestly underwhelming. They only offer one deposit bonus to their new users, and even that is not very attractive considering other online casinos offer hundreds or thousands of dollars in bonus.

When I signed up at Fun Casino, I was presented with a 100% bonus of up to $123. There are no bonus spins or multiple deposits involved that would have you end up with more money. Keeping that in mind, I claimed the entire welcome bonus at Fun Casino by depositing $150 as my first deposit.

The wagering requirements for the bonus amount are set to 50 times instead of the industry standard of 35 times. To complete 50 times wagering requirements, it usually takes me over a week of playing, but Fun Casino offers 30 days from the day of registration to complete the requirements. Note that the wagering requirements cannot be fulfilled with table games, video poker games, and live casino games. You have to play the rest of the titles to reach the playthrough amount. One thing I did like was the minimum deposit amount to claim the bonus was only $10.

Fun Casino does not offer bonuses for regular players. I was able to participate in their tournaments and competitions, which were really fun, but they do not have daily, weekly, or occasional promos.

Deposits and Withdrawals: 9/10

Fun Casino provides only a few banking options to make a deposit or withdrawal from New Zealand. I do not know if it is due to security concerns or if they do not have the authorisation to offer more options to Kiwis. When I decided to make a deposit at Fun Casino, I was given four options to go with. They included credit and debit cards and a few e-wallets that are widely used in New Zealand. The good news is all of these options were fast, secure, and reliable. The downside is that there are only these options available and nothing else.

I used my Visa card to make the deposit and claim the welcome bonus. The transaction was smooth, as it usually is with Visa. No service fee was charged, and I received my deposit almost instantly. For the complete list of payment options at Fun Casino, take a look below:

Deposit methods

• Visa (Min. $20)
• Mastercard (Min. $20)
• Skrill (Min. $20)
• Paysafecard (Min. $20)

Withdrawal methods

• Direct bank transfer (Min. $30)
• Visa (Min. $30)
• Mastercard (Min. $30)
• Skrill (Min. $30)

Withdrawals are usually processed within two business days but can take longer if your identity is not verified. I was asked to verify my details by submitting a few documents. After completing the process, I received my funds in my account within a day.

Mobile Gaming: 9.6/10 

Fun Casino has a mobile-friendly website. They do not have mobile apps, saving you the trouble of downloading or installing any apps. Just visit Fun Casino from the browser on your phone, and you will be ready to go. I did the same on my old iPhone and accessed the platform within seconds through the browser.

Right after landing at the homepage, I was able to log into my account and access all my funds. I had the option to either go with the casino library or check out their sportsbook. I first decided to explore their games on my phone and see how they performed. I played several popular titles from their slots and live casino sections. The slot games were pretty smooth, and I was easily able to wager my bet, switch between games, or enter full-screen mode. I then played live casino games, and they offered me the same experience as earlier. Although the interface was much smaller on my iPhone, I was still able to navigate without any problems.

I checked out their sportsbook on my phone, and I was provided with the same list of sports that were available on my laptop. I thoroughly reviewed the live games, scorecards, betting slips, and odds and did not find anything lacking.

Fun Casino allows you to make deposits or withdrawals through your phone. You can also change your account settings, check out promos, or contact support without any hassles.

Customer Support: 9.9/10  

Fun Casino claims that their customers are their first priority, and it was made clear to me after I visited their contact page. I was provided with three different options to get in touch with the staff: live chat support, which I prefer most of the time; phone support, which is another efficient method to get your questions answered; and email support. 

I tested their live chat and phone support, and both were instant and very efficient. For live chat support, I was connected to an agent who promptly replied with a solution that resolved my problem. For the phone support, I had to wait a minute for a representative to bec available, but once connected, I was able to convey my problem and get an answer in no time.

You can also send them an email, and they will reply to you within a few hours. I also explored the FAQs section at Fun Casino, which contained a lot of basic information that one might need. I recommend you check out their FAQs section before contacting live chat or phone support.

Security and Licensing: 9.8/10  

Fun Casino has a gambling licence from Malta Gaming Authority and UK Gambling Commission. They are a subsidiary of L&L Europe Limited, which has a registered physical address in Malta along with a working phone number which I verified through the authorisation certificate provided by MGA. Fun Casino is also listed in that certificate, ensuring even further that the casino is safe to play at.

Fun Casino has SSL encryption, which is a great way to protect users’ data and private info. I have never faced any issues with casinos that have SSL encryption. I also suggest you enable 2FA and add a phone number for added security.

Verdict

I loved Fun Casino for its wide variety of casino games and massive sportsbook that had all my favourite sports. But they need to improve their bonuses, especially for their regular users. You can get started with the welcome bonus of $123, which is not very generous, but it is a good way to receive extra funds to play with.

I was also impressed by Fun Casino's fast and efficient customer support. As they are licensed and authorised by MGA and UKGC, I played and bet on sports at Fun Casino without any worries. The only I ask is for them to add more banking options for Kiwis. 

Overall, Fun Casino is a good choice for anyone who is looking for a fun and enjoyable gaming and betting experience.
