2024 ExciteWin casino review for NZ players

While there’s no ExciteWin casino no deposit bonus for new players, the welcome bonus package of $1,000 and 200 free spins is good and among the highest in NZ.

Unfortunately, you can only reach the maximum amount by making a minimum deposit of NZ$40, which is higher than some other sites like Spin Casino and Royal Vegas, offering a NZ$10 minimum deposit.

One of the other things I spotted on this offer is that Skrill and Neteller do not qualify for the welcome offer, so if you want to claim the bonus, you’ll have to resort to a different payment method.

You should also be informed that the welcome offer includes a 35x wagering requirement on the deposit and bonus amount. This wagering is among the highest among NZ casino sites, with casinos like Europa and Casumo coming with a 30-40x wagering on just the deposit amount.

This online casino knows how to treat its players – whether you’re a newbie or have been with them for a while, there are generous cashback and slot drops every week. Moreover, multiple slot tournaments are running all the time.

For those looking for an extra bit of recognition, though, fortunately, this one offers a loyalty program split into 5 levels, offering benefits in the range of personal account manager, personalized offers, higher withdrawal limits and more.

After the generous deposit match offer and free spins, you can look forward to regular weekly cashback, giveaways and other exciting promotional offers that may come your way. All in all, I believe ExciteWin performed a little above average in the promotions department but needs more work regarding the welcome bonus wagering requirement and the addition of a VIP program.

I have to say; this is an outstanding selection of games for an online casino. With over 2,500 available, I was totally spoilt for choice. 

However, this does make it a little bit hard to sift through the games to find one that suits. And this was especially difficult as there were no real game filters on offer. 

Yes, I could whittle down the selection via a game provider, but, like the most popular online casino sites, I’d have liked to have more nuanced filters for in-game bonuses. 

Where this casino shines is the live games section. I thought Dunder had done well with 160+ games, but ExciteWin blows that out of the water with over 200, making it one of the best live casinos in NZ.

It also far exceeds expectations when it comes to the less common game such as keno, scratchers and bingo. It puts SkyCity casino to shame, as many games aren’t offered there.

The sheer number of providers at ExciteWin casino is actually a little overwhelming. Luckily it’s possible to search for games by provider. 

The number of software providers on offer puts many other sites to shame. Even Dunder, with its library of over 3400 games, only uses 27 providers. 

I also really liked that the live dealer section isn’t just manned by the usual suspects — Evolution and Pragmatic Live. Unlike sites like JackpotCity, ExciteWin uses Swintt, Lucky Streak and other live providers too. It just makes things more interesting. 

However, it’s probably a good idea to point out that, unlike some other casinos, ExciteWin casino does not have its own bespoke or in-house software. 

Not that I think it really needs it, though. With those 100+ providers, there are a lot of things going on here already.

Again, I was really impressed with ExciteWin casino. For starters, there are 18 payment options which really puts Dunder’s seven to shame. 

Additionally, the casino also accepts crypto which puts this head and shoulders above most casinos including Royal Vegas and SkyCity. It’s just nice to have this option. 

ExciteWin also has low minimum deposits in place, though I was disappointed to be unable to find the withdrawal limits anywhere. I’d like to see how a bank transfer compared to eWallets for instance. 

Across the board, even including bank transfers, there was a minimum deposit of just NZ$20. This is slightly higher than some casinos like Casino Tropez with its NZ$10 minimum, but not too bad overall. 

All withdrawals are slowed down somewhat, so this does mean that a bank transfer isn’t necessarily the worst option here. You will need to go through a 24-hour pending period before the funds are released, regardless of the method you use.

ExciteWin casino offers all I would expect from an online casino in terms of safety and security, but nothing more. 

Encryption protocols are in place, but these are far from the highest. That being said, at 128-bit, this does match sites like Dunder but is outmatched by the 256-bit SSL at bet365. 

I am still impressed, though, as you are treated fairly, and third-party companies regulate the casino to ensure gaming fairness. 

As such, it gave me a lot more confidence when playing here. So for you, it’s good too as you know you’re getting a fair experience. 

Finally, ExciteWin casino has good, responsible gambling tools on a level with SkyCity. These give you account limits, self-exclusion and cooling-off options.

I was happy to see that the mobile interface on the browser site had a similarly fast load time to the desktop site. 

Also, I was able to play most of the same games. However, like Dunder, some of the games from this extensive library were missing which is disappointing. 

That being said, I could access most of the extensive live dealer collection which was really quite impressive. 

The lack of an app was not noticeably an issue. However, sites like Playzee and PlayZilla offer excellent apps, and these might help elevate this site down the line.

That being said, the browser site didn’t stop me from claiming and using those exciting free spins and getting started on a range of different pokies.

I have no real issues with the support available at ExciteWin casino, though it could be a little more accessible. 

The quickest way to find it is by clicking on the links in the footer. Call me picky, but I’d like a sticky live chat bubble on each page instead, just like Dunder does. 

Even sites like LeoVegas make it as easy as possible, and they do have a faster response time than ExciteWin casino, though the latter still answers in under five minutes. 

While there is an FAQ, it’s not quite as detailed as I would like. In some areas it’s distinctly unhelpful, so you’re bound to need to talk to someone eventually. 

I would also have liked a phone number option. But, these days, fewer and fewer casino operators are actually offering them.

Overall, this site does the job well, though the design is nothing really special. The interface is navigable and straightforward without broken links. 

Where I did find this site beat out casinos like Wildz, was in its use of a dark theme rather than the bright white one used by Wildz casino. It’s so much better on the eyes. 

That being said, it could still do with reducing some of the content found here and taking a more minimalistic approach — maybe it can take a leaf out of Casumo’s book and pare things down a bit more. Though I still prefer ExciteWin’s dark theme to Casumo’s white-heavy background. 

I will say though, that it’s easy to find everything. For example, I could get my hands on the free spins with relative ease, and that’s not just the welcome ones, but the reload free spins as well. 

And, as mentioned, the mobile interface is much the same as the desktop. So, I guess I don’t really have much to quibble about here.
