SlotMafia casino review

There are some really big bonus potentials here. I was pleased to see a full package as the welcome offer, but you will have to deposit the maximum to really make the most of it, which is a lot. 

However, matching up to NZ$22,500 is not to be sneezed at. While Stake offers 200% up to NZ$500, it’s nothing compared to SlotMafia. Okay, yes, Stake has 40x to SlotMafia’s 50x wagering requirements. But there’s not much in it. 

I also really liked the fact that there were so many additional bonus options. These are continuous and offered weekly, which is a really great way to get players coming back. And, these come in reload, cashback and free spins. 

Where these bonuses are not so great is in the way you can claim them. For the welcome offer, it’s a requirement of NZ$45 to get your hands on, which is quite high. Especially when Royal Panda only needs NZ$10. 

The time to actually meet all the requirements is tight, too. I found there are only seven days from the day the bonus is claimed in which to use it. Three days if it’s the free spins, which isn’t much.

I am a little bit back and forth when it comes to the game selection at SlotMafia. On the one hand, it’s huge, but on the other, it’s largely from untested providers. 

At the end of the day though, I can’t complain about a collection of more than 10,000 games in one place, especially when sites like Voodoo Dreams have less than 2,000. 

Within each category, SlotMafia does well, and it was nice to see that just because it has slots in the title, this isn’t all that’s on offer here. 

Yes, pokies are the biggest selection, but there are in excess of 1,000 jackpots too, which is massive when Neon Vegas has none. Keeping this comparison going 200+ live games are found on SlotMafia compared to 120 at NeonVegas. 

While many of the games are very samey, I did enjoy the sheer number. And there are some great collections that you can sift through courtesy of the layout on SlotMafia. 

I really do love a good selection of payment methods, and this is where SlotMafia really stepped up. Basically, any option you could want in NZ is right there. 

I was happy to see the relatively low NZ$20 minimum deposit limit which, while higher than the NZ$8 of ExciteWin, is definitely very acceptable and affordable for most. 

However, it was annoying not to have any additional payment information available. I searched high and low, but there were no upper or maximum limits listed for either deposits or withdrawals. 

I would like to know if this is a simple case of no limits like it is at Empire.io (especially as cryptocurrencies are involved), or if the upper limits are determined by VIP status. 

Withdrawals are listed as being a little on the slower side. Anyone using bank transfer is going to have to wait. Crypto-users are likely to have it easy though. 

Again, it’s a bit of an issue when it comes to safety here on SlotMafia. I am a sticker for a good licence, and while there is one from Curacao, it doesn’t fill me with security. 

This is mainly because of the lack of any proper responsible gambling tools and information. Unlike other Curacao-licenced casinos like Joo, which has a full set of responsible gambling tools, SlotMafia does not. 

None are listed anywhere. In fact, I had to get in touch with the live chat to figure out if some of these options were included, and the results were not comforting. 

There are options to set deposit limits and to self-exclude, but they do rely on getting in touch with the support. They will set it up on your account rather than allowing you to manage it. 

Elsewhere the situation was similar to CasinoVibes with no auditing seals and a limited reputation given how new the casino is on the gambling scene. Not entirely comforting. 

Again, there’s some good and some bad here. For instance, I did find that the support is available 24/7 and this is via the live chat which has a fast response time. 

However, this is initially answered by a chat bot. And this was infuriating. It had provided answers I was forced to choose, even when none of them matched my requirements. No type bar was permitted. 

I finally managed to force it to talk to a real person, something that took more than five minutes. And then, the staff member, Lana, was not that helpful, simply sending links to pages rather than answers. 

In contrast, the support from BC-Game is a blast, and I wish SlotMafia offered something similar. What’s worse, I was forced to head to the chat due to the dearth of information on the site. 

Unlike CryptoLeo’s comprehensive FAQ, SlotMafia barely gives any answers. There are seven questions, none of which have useful or detailed answers. It was disappointing to say the least.

First off, it’s not that easy to come by mobile casino apps for New Zealand players, so SlotMafia scored some points in this department.

I will say that the design and graphics on the homepage are a lot of fun. I like the mafia theme, and the opulence of the gold and black helps to bring this to life. 

I was also a fan of the fact that the thumbnails are large for the games, and this translates well to the apps. Everything is clear and intuitive for finding your way around. 

However, there is some slowness. It’s not the slowest of sites by any means, but it definitely isn’t Rizk’s more speedy one second load time. I feel this could get a bit draggy over time. 

The collections as they are called on SlotMafia are a great help in whittling down the game selection. There are multiple options when you click the provider filter, more than Spin offers at any rate. 

It’s also got a dark theme which is nice on the eyes. This is translated through all the platforms which is a nice way to keep the continuity.
