Platinum Play Casino
It's part of the Fortune Lounge group, and they reckon they offer a pretty organised setup for having a punt on casino games. Let's have a yarn about what they're all about – getting signed up, what games are on offer, how you sort your cash, and who to call if you're in a bind.
Getting Yourself Signed Up
If you're keen to give Platinum Play a crack, you'll need to sign up first. This usually means filling in a form on their website with your details. Once that's all sorted and they've given you the nod, you can log in with the username and password you picked. They try to make it nice and quick so you can get to the games without too much faff. Just remember, playing there means you're agreeing to their terms and conditions, so no funny business!
Bonus Time and Promos
Platinum Play likes to chuck a few bonuses at players. The general idea is to give your playing money a bit of a boost and maybe let you play a bit longer. What you actually get, and what hoops you've got to jump through for it, all depends on what promos they're running at the time.
| Bonus Type | What's the Deal? |
|---|---|
| Welcome Bonus | Usually a match on your first deposit(s) |
| Loyalty Rewards | Earn points the more you play |
| Ongoing Promotions | Keep an eye out for regular deals & free spins |
Make sure you read the T&Cs for any bonus, especially the wagering requirements, so you know the score before you dive in!
What Games Can You Get Stuck Into?
They've got a fair dinkum range of online games. A big chunk of that is pokies, with all sorts of themes and ways to win. Alongside the pokies, you'll find computer versions of old favourites like blackjack and roulette. They've also got a live dealer section, where you play with real people dealing the cards via video stream. Popular games like Mega Moolah, Thunderstruck II, and Immortal Romance are usually on the list. One thing to note: Platinum Play isn't doing sports betting for Kiwis at the moment.
Playing on the Go
Good news if you like to play on your mobile – Platinum Play has you covered. You can either download their app (if there is one available for NZ) or just play straight through the website on your phone or tablet's browser. It should work fine on most Apple or Android gadgets. The idea is that playing on your mobile is pretty much the same as on your computer, with all the same games and features, so you can have a punt wherever you are.
Money In, Money Out
Getting your cash into and out of Platinum Play is a pretty standard affair. They offer a bunch of ways for Kiwis to deposit and withdraw. Each way will have its own rules about how much you can move at once (minimums and maximums) and how long it'll take.
| Transaction Type | Ways to Do It | How Quick? |
|---|---|---|
| Putting Money In (Deposit) | Credit/Debit Cards, E-wallets, Bank Transfer | Usually pretty much instant |
| Cashing Out (Withdrawal) | Bank Transfer, E-wallets (check options) | Takes a bit, they need to approve it |
Always double-check their banking page for the most up-to-date options and times for New Zealand players.
Getting a Bit of Help
If you hit a snag or just have a question, they've got a support team ready to lend an ear. Platinum Play has a few different ways you can get in touch with them. Support is usually around 24/7, so you can get things sorted reasonably quickly.
Playing it Sensible
Platinum Play says they're serious about responsible gambling. They give you tools and info to help you keep your gaming in check. This means you can usually set limits on how much you deposit, or even take a break from playing altogether (self-exclusion) if you feel like you need to. It’s all about helping you stay in control and making sure gambling stays fun. They should also have links to support services like PGF New Zealand.
Quick Qs
How long do payouts usually take?
Withdrawal times can vary a bit depending on what method you've chosen and how long their internal checks take. E-wallets are often quicker than bank transfers, but best to check their site for specific timeframes.
Do I need to download anything to play?
While they might have a download option for a full software suite, you can usually just play straight through your web browser – no download needed, which is heaps easier for most.
Are the games fair and square?
Casinos like Platinum Play usually get their games from big-name software providers whose games are checked by independent outfits to make sure they're random and fair. Look for info about eCOGRA or similar auditors on their site.
