22Bet got its online casino up and running in 2018, and it has since grown into a modern, polished platform with a huge range of games. The site is run by TechSolutions Group N.V., a company based in Cyprus, which set out from the start to offer players the full casino experience in one handy place.
Kiwi players have taken to 22Bet in a big way. The clean, easy-to-use layout is a big part of it, along with heaps of quality games and regular promotions for newcomers and long-time members alike.
Sports fans get a bonus too, as the casino is linked directly to the 22Bet sportsbook. One account and one balance cover both, so you can back the All Blacks, the Black Caps or your Super Rugby side and then head straight back to the pokies. Below, our team shares what they found after spending time on 22Bet Casino, so you can decide whether it is worth signing up.
What 22Bet Casino Offers Players in New Zealand
Your first deposit is matched 100%, up to €300 or the equivalent in NZD. That is a tidy starting balance for having a good look around and lining up your first wins. Regulars are looked after as well: every week, casino races give active players a chance to grab a share of a €10,000 prize pool.
The lobby is home to roughly 3,500 games from more than 90 well-known studios. There are pokies galore, classic table games such as roulette and blackjack, a top-notch live casino and a bunch of instant games that suit a quick session down to the ground.
Mobile play is sweet as. There is no app to download, because the whole site runs on HTML5 and opens straight in your phone or tablet browser. Just head to 22Bet, sign up or log in, and you are good to go wherever you are. Deposits, withdrawals and bonus claims can all be sorted from your mobile too.
Pokies
Pokies are the star of the show at 22Bet, with hundreds of bright, lively titles to spin. If you are a fan of old-school three-reel machines with classic fruit symbols, there are plenty to choose from. Prefer modern video pokies with bonus buys, Drop & Win prizes and other clever features? You will find loads of those too. Whatever your style, there is something here for you.
Popular picks include Seven Seven with its retro fruit look, Vikings, inspired by the well-known TV series, the fiery Aztec Fire and the evergreen Gonzo's Quest.
New releases usually land in the lobby on launch day, so there is always something fresh to try. It pays to check out the smaller studios as well, as plenty of their games deliver great quality and original ideas.
Chasing a big win? Pop into the jackpot section, where you will find a wide range of progressive and fixed jackpot pokies with some very tasty top prizes.
Leading Game Studios
22Bet works with a strong crew of developers, many of whom have been around the industry for years. In the lobby you can play games from NetEnt, Red Tiger Gaming, 1x2 Gaming, Iron Dog, Yggdrasil, Pragmatic Play, Endorphina, Wazdan and Playson, among plenty of others.
Up-and-coming studios get a look-in too. Swintt, for example, has won over a lot of players with titles like Spin City, Power Fruits and Panda Warrior. Throw in a good number of smaller independent providers and the total tops 90, so you will always have something new to discover.
Table Games
If the classics are your thing, 22Bet has you sorted. Have a crack at roulette or go up against the dealer at blackjack. Animated versions like Bar Blackjack 2 give the tables a fun twist, while Auto Roulette keeps the rounds rolling quickly.
There is one area that could be better: the range of RNG (software-based) table games is fairly limited. They can also be tricky to find, since they are mixed in with the live tables instead of sitting in their own category. A few more digital versions would be a nice addition. Luckily, the excellent live casino more than makes up for it.
Live Casino at 22Bet
The live casino is packed with choice, with tables from 19 providers. That means you can enjoy a proper casino atmosphere any time, from early morning to late at night. Well-known names include Pragmatic Live, Ezugi, TVBet and Live Solutions.
Roulette, blackjack and baccarat are all on offer with real dealers, along with several poker variants for anyone who likes to back their skills. For something more laid-back, the live game shows are a great shout: Sweet Bonanza Candyland, Mega Wheel, Cricket War and Boom City are all colourful and good fun.
22Games: Only at 22Bet
As well as titles from outside studios, 22Bet has its own exclusive collection that you won't find anywhere else. It includes pokies like Burning Hot, Game of Thrones and Pirate Chest.
There are also mini games for a quick bit of entertainment. Thimbles is a digital spin on the classic shell game, and you can also try Under and Over 7, Lucky Wheel, Guess Which Hand, Heads or Tails, Domino and more. It is worth giving a few a go in demo mode first, so you can get the hang of them without spending a cent.
Fast Games
Short on time? The "Fast Games" section is built for quick sessions and is just the ticket when you are out and about with a few minutes to kill.
Drop the ball in Plinko, try Mini Roulette or Keno, or test your gut feeling in one of the Hi-Lo games. Crash games such as JetX, Aviator and Zeppelin are also available. They are a great way to pass the time on an Auckland ferry or train, or on the Interislander crossing between Wellington and Picton.
