Spinia Casino Review NZ

Expert Review

Spinia Casino sets themselves apart from other online casinos in New Zealand with their never-ending range of games in an enjoyable atmosphere. Launched in 2018, the casino has now become home to many players looking for a premium casino gaming experience. Kiwis joining Spinia Casino are provided with over 5,000 casino games to enjoy, with new and hot titles added regularly. Exploring the Spinia Casino gaming lobby, I found a wide variety of slots, jackpot games, drops and wins, bonus buys, live games, and more. All their games are provided by the industry’s best game providers. Players can expect smooth and lag-free gameplay with excellent compatibility for different devices when playing at Spinia Casino.

After signing up, I was welcomed with a fantastic bonus of $350 which came with 50 free spins that I could utilise at specified pokies. Spinia Casino provides live chat support for New Zealanders, and the casino is licensed and regulated by MGA. I will discuss the features in detail in this Spinia Casino review for New Zealanders.

Games: 9.9/10

In the last seven years of reviewing casinos, there are only a handful I have come across that offer more than 5,000 games. Spinia Casino is one of these, and to top it off, all their games come from the top game studios around the world. Microgaming, NetENT, Pragmatic Play, Play’n Go and 70+ more companies are in their list of top-notch game providers.

I love how Spinia Casino caters to all player preferences. I found thousands of slots, jackpot games, card games, table games, live games, bonus buys, and much more. It was really easy for me to navigate through the categories, as different types of games have their own dedicated sections. I visited the popular and new games sections and found the latest additions to their library as well as some hot titles. Their search option enables you to find a particular game by searching the keyword, game type, or game provider. I simply selected my favourite game providers from the list, and the games from all the other game providers were filtered out.

After handpicking more than 50 titles, I started playing them to see how well they worked on my old laptop. It took me several days to thoroughly test them all, but my experience was quite good. It was very rare that the games took longer than normal to load. Most of the time, I was into the games within a few seconds.

I also couldn't help noticing that Spinia Casino itself is quite fast. Switching between different pages, filtering out results, or visiting different categories barely took any time. The in-game experience was excellent. I enjoyed the games without any lag, freeze, or stutter. The gameplay was smooth, the interactive sound was matched, and I was easily able to place my bets. I could also navigate through the options and try the demo mode of the games where possible.

As expected from the top game providers, all the games I played had terrific graphics. I had the option to play the game in fullscreen mode or add up to 4 games on a single screen and play them simultaneously. While it is possible, I would not recommend anyone do that, as you cannot enjoy each game when there is too much happening.

I also played some live casino games that were streamed live in real time. They all had a live dealer which gives a more immersive experience. I faced some buffering for the live stream, but that was only due to my choppy internet connection. After resetting my router, there were no issues at all.

All the games at Spinia Casino are based on RNG mechanisms to keep things fair and square. The average payout of the games is above 96%, and all of their games are sourced from the most trusted game providers.

Bonuses: 9.6/10

Spinia Casino has a dedicated section for promotions which they regularly update with new offers. For newcomers, Spinia Casino has a welcome deal that treats them with $350 bonus, along with 50 free spins. I found out that it is a multi-deposit bonus, and you have to make two deposits to claim it fully.

After completing the quick registration process, I was offered 100% up to $150 and 25 free spins for my first deposit. I deposited $100, got $100 bonus on it, and received the 25 free spins as well. For players who want to claim the second deposit bonus too, they can get 50% up to $200 and 25 free spins on top.

I reviewed the terms and conditions of the welcome bonus at Spinia Casino. A minimum deposit of $25 is required in order to claim the bonus. The wagering requirements are set to 40 times for the bonus as well as the free spins. Winnings from any of these cannot be withdrawn unless the wagering requirements are fulfilled.

Free spins can only be played at specified games and you have to activate them from your account before they can be used. 

Regular players can also enjoy great deals at Spinia Casino. There is an every-Wednesday bonus at Spinia Casino that rewards $50 to Kiwis who make a deposit of at least $65 every week. Spinia Casino has a reload bonus for Sundays, where New Zealanders can enjoy cash backs on their deposits as well as free spins. Players can also compete with other players at Spinia Casino, and the more they win, the better their chance of topping the leaderboard and winning exciting rewards. For loyal customers, Spinia Casino has a VIP program where they can enjoy premium service, high-priority support, and more rewards.

Deposits and Withdrawals: 8.5/10

Spinia Casino lacks variety in payment options, but the good thing is all methods are instant and secure. Spinia Casino just needs to bring more payment options for Kiwis, eg: more e-wallets, voucher payments, or cryptocurrency payments.

I decided to use my Visa debit card, made a deposit of $100 and entered the promo code. My deposit was approved instantly, and the funds were credited into my account in no time. The entire process was smooth, and I never had any concerns about the security or safety of my funds. Moreover, no fee was charged to my card or account, making my experience even better. New Zealanders can use the following payment options at Spinia Casino:

Deposit methods

• Visa (Min. $10 - Max. $6,000)
• Mastercard (Min. $10 - Max. $6,000)
• Maestro (Min. $10 - Max. $6,000)
• Skrill (Min. $10 - Max. $12,000)
• MiFinity (Min. $30 - Max. $4,000)
• Neosurf (Min. $20 - Max. $6,000)

Withdrawal methods

• Bank transfer (Min. $750 - Max. $6,000)
• MiFinity (Min. $30 - Max. $4,000)
• Skrill (Min. $25 - Max. $6,000)

Keep in mind that users can only withdraw their funds to the account they made the deposit with. As I made a payment from my bank card, I was able to make a bank withdrawal. Spinia Casino also requested my documents to verify my identity before they processed my withdrawal request.

Mobile Gaming: 9.5/10  

Although Spinia Casino does not have any dedicated mobile apps for smartphone users, they provide mobile gaming options through mobile browsers. I have no problems with this, as long as the games run fine on my mobile browser. So to test it out, I grabbed my Android device, visited Spinia Casino from the Chrome browser, and accessed the casino right away.

The mobile version was quite good, as it had a user-friendly interface, the site was explorable, and all the options were available. I had the option to log in or sign up a new account. I logged in immediately and accessed my account, along with the funds and the preferences I had set. Spinia Casino also allows players to make payments or initiate withdrawals right from their phones. I also submitted my identity documents from my device, played with the account settings, explored bonuses, and did pretty much everything I was able to do on my laptop.

Most importantly, I played and tested several games to see how well they were optimised for mobile devices. Most of the games were perfectly smooth and flawless, except for a few titles which lagged a bit, but this was due to my slower internet connection.

Additionally, I also tried some popular slots like Book of Dead, as well as jackpot games and table games, and I never had a problem. The graphics were spot on, the in-game interface was really easy to navigate, and the demo mode was available for many games. In short, my overall experience playing Spinia Casino’s games on my phone was quite good. But I would recommend that you have a stable WiFi or data connection, paired with the latest browser so you don't face any issues while playing the games.

Customer Support: 9.2/10  

Customer support at Spinia Casino is pretty good. I found two different ways to get in touch with their representatives. The first and fastest way is to message them through live chat support. This option is not available 24/7, but when connected, I was easily able to deliver my concern and get a solution, all within a few minutes.

The second method is email support. Players can simply fill out the contact form at Spinia Casino and have an agent reply to them. It may take a few hours for them to reply and provide you with a solution. I also found several FAQs at the end of the homepage that answered most common queries right away. I would recommend players check it out first if they encounter any issues.

Security and Licensing: 9.7/10  

Spinia Casino is owned by a very large and famous casino group known as N1 Interactive Limited, which is based and registered in Malta and owns other online casinos. N1 Interactive is fully licensed and authorised by Malta Gaming Authority, enabling all of their casinos to provide their services legally. I also fetched their official licensing certificate provided to them by MGA, where all the licence numbers, addresses, contact info, and other details were mentioned. You can take a look at the certificate in the screenshot below.

Spinia Casino is protected with SSL encryption. As the casino verifies the identity of their users, the risk of fraudulent activities decreases drastically. I was also provided with several account security options that I enabled right after signing up. I verified my phone number to receive texts on it, enabled 2FA, and set up a strong password.

Verdict

Although there is some room for improvement at Spinia Casino, I still consider them one of the best online casinos in New Zealand. It is not every day you see a casino offering more than 5,000 premium titles in a single place. On top of that, they have partnered up with some of the best game providers to provide the highest quality gaming experience and compatibility for different platforms.  I enjoyed every game I tried at Spinia Casino, be it on my laptop or my phone.

Spinia Casino also welcomed me with an impressive bonus followed by regular deals. Their only weakness is their payment section; they should introduce more options to enable Kiwis to make payments easily. Spinia Casino has good customer support and offers premium security to their players.
