Platinum Play Casino Review (NZ)

Bonuses and Promotions

Platinum Play treats new registrants to an NZ$800 match bonus that covers the first three deposits. This is how it’s structured:

• First Deposit: 100% Deposit Bonus up to NZ$400

• Second Deposit: 100% Deposit Bonus up to NZ$200

• Third Deposit: 100% Deposit Bonus up to NZ$200

Subject to unfortunate wagering rules of x50 (there are worse, believe us), players have just seven days in which to claim the bonus which is a bit of a smack in the chops, truth be told. Pokies contribute 100% weighting towards said play-through rules though thereby taking the sting out to a certain degree.

Detailed information about the other promotions is reserved for registered players, judging by the Platinum Play website. However, it seems that regular deals are sent by email and include deposit bonuses, rewards points, ‘real-world prizes’ such as sports cars and cruise tickets as well as bespoke offers for newly-launched games. We couldn’t find any specific details so we’ll have to take their word for it.

VIP/Loyalty Schemes

Platinum Play operates an invite-only VIP package for a few select players’. So exclusive is this package that VIP invite requests are not even considered according to the website – nice to see an online casino taking a customer-centric approach in all areas. Uh, anyway, underprivileged players will have to make do with a points-rewards scheme in which points can be exchanged for bonus credits. Initiates are immediately granted 2500 upon registration. There are four levels that are presumably unlocked as the player spends inordinate sums of money. We’d like to furnish you with more details about the redemption rates but we weren’t able to find any information on the website. So that’s that.

Platinum Play Game Variety

Games are available in the categories of online pokies, table games, live casino, and video poker. In addition to player favourites such as Thunderstruck 2 and Six Acrobats, there are also a fair few numbers of lesser-known pokie games that offer a pleasing diversion. Joining Platinum Play’s expansive range of pokies are blockbuster progressives such as the millionaire-maker, Mega Moolah. Here’s a drill-down of the best pokies currently available.

Cashier Options

Platinum Play provides players with an outstanding range of options when it comes to spending money. VISA, MasterCard, and Maestro are accepted for deposits and withdrawals. As well as these standard options are a raft of online transaction services such as Neteller, Skrill, and Interac. Depending on the country in which you’re gambling, these services also include some of the following:

Customer Support

Live chat is available for basic queries. For Platinum Play players with more pressing questions such as, ‘what redemption rate is applied to your points-based rewards scheme?’ our advice would be to make use of the email address provided. There’s also a very brief FAQ section that offers cursory resolutions to issues relating to registration, withdrawals, deposits, and transactional time-outs. And that’s about the size of it as far as customer support is concerned.

Final Thoughts on Platinum Play

Firstly and most importantly, Platinum Play is fully licensed and eCOGRA certified, meaning that all of its gameplay has been checked and proven to be credible. There is a long and expensive process of obtaining this certification, which means that they are serious contenders.

The site has a massive range of online pokies, albeit by only a few providers. In addition, its live dealer suite gets a major boost thanks to the inclusion of an Evolution-powered platform – they really don’t get much bigger than this storied company when it comes to live casino gaming.

However, there are a few shortcomings. Apart from the above-par welcome promotion, there’s precious little information about exactly what perks are up for grabs. It’s the same with the VIP package too. And what about the bonus credits? What are the redemption rates and how do they actually benefit the player? We can’t really answer these questions at present. So our suggestion is to stick with the pure casino gaming and forgo the ‘perks’ and ‘incentives’ until you’ve got a better idea of the inevitable caveats that lurk beneath
