Bob Casino Review

Last Updated: 

Kia ora Kiwi punters! Bob Casino has been around since 2017, and is run by N1 Interactive Casino. By not mucking around with sports betting, Bob Casino has really focussed on the online casino experience, and has a ton of online pokies on offer for Kiwis.

Bob Casino is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, so online casino players in New Zealand can be assured of a safe experience. With that being said, is it worth your time, or more importantly, your money? We take a deep dive into Bob Casino to see what it’s all about, and whether it’s worth it for Kiwis to have a look at.

Advantages
  • Massive range of games
  • A great focus on pokies
  • 24/7 support for Kiwis
Disadvantages
  • So-so welcome bonus

Bob Casino Welcome Bonus

The online gambling scene is a competitive place, looking to grab the attention of millions of punters from around the world. To attract eyeballs, it’s become pretty common practice for NZ online casinos to offer welcome bonuses to new players, if they sign up and make a deposit.

Bob Casino, being the on to it place that they are, are no different, and offer new Kiwi players a pretty decent welcome bonus to get you on board.

All in all, Bob Casino’s welcome bonus offers new Kiwi players up to $625 in free bets, and 130 spins on selected pokies. That might not sound like a lot, but free money is free money! Let’s take a look at how it works.

How Bob Casino’s Welcome Bonus Works

Bob Casino’s welcome bonus is split up into three parts:

  • First deposit — they’ll match you 100% up to $125, plus 100 free spins (CODE: BEHAPPY).
  • Second deposit — they’ll match you 50% up to $250 (CODE: JUNGLE).
  • Third deposit — they’ll match you 50% up to $250, plus 30 free spins (CODE: BOBONELOVE).

So for example, if you deposit $100 on your first deposit, they will give your $100 in free bets back. For the second deposit, if you deposited $100, they would give your $50 in free bets back.

As usual of course, there are some terms and conditions, but don’t worry, we read the small print for you. Here is the gist of it:

  • The welcome bonus is only available to new Kiwi customers.
  • A minimum $20 deposit is required to qualify for the welcome bonus.
  • When playing with the welcome bonus, the maximum bet for all game types is $5.
  • When betting with the welcome bonus, the initial betting is done with real money and then with bonus funds.
  • The welcome bonus has a wagering requirement of 40x (more about this next).

If you want to have a read of the terms and conditions yourself, you can do so here.

Bob Casino Welcome Bonus Wagering Requirements

When you see an online casino offering free stuff like their welcome bonus, you’re right to wonder what the catch is. The truth is, when it comes to online gambling, casinos aren’t just going to give money away to anyone that asks for it, because they wouldn’t be in business for too long.

So while the offer of the welcome bonus is legit, online casinos, including Bob Casino, will put something called a wagering requirement into place.

A wagering requirement is where the online casino requires you to bet any bonus money (in this case the welcome bonus) a certain number of times before you can withdraw any winnings into your back pocket. So if the wagering requirement is 50x, that means that you have to bet your bonus money 50 times before you can withdraw it as real cash.

Bob Casino’s wagering requirement is 40x, which in our experience is pretty bang on for the industry average.

So yes, there is a catch, and it will mean that you will have to beat the odds to actually withdraw that money, but at the end of the day, it is still a bunch of free bets, and that equals free fun!

Bob Casino Game Variety

Unlike some online casinos, Bob Casino is all about the casino-style games. No sports betting, no other fancy stuff, only the classic Las Vegas experience most Kiwis want to experience online. Because they are focused on the casino experience, they have a ton of variety when it comes to what they have on offer. In total, Bob Casino has over 2,000 games, so we doubt you’ll struggle to find something that toasts your crumpets!

Bob Casino Games

If you’re looking for the traditional casino experience, Bob Casino makes it really easy to find what you are looking for. At the top of the screen, you can choose from 8 sections to take you where you want to go.

That’s a really good way of splitting things up, and it makes things easy to find, depending on the style of game you like. Some online casinos don’t bother with this, so we appreciate what Bob Casino has done here.

The game lobby is clear, bright, and everything is easy to find. Again, top-notch stuff here by Bob Casino. All games are checked by eCOGRA, which is the regulatory body that makes sure that the games are all legit, and not rigged in any way.

Bob Casino Pokies

Bob Casino has a ton of pokies on offer as well as those free spins offers we mentioned earlier, and it’s definitely enough to keep any red-blooded Kiwi entertained for a while.

Among the pokies on offer are Starburst, Wolf Gold, Book of Dead, Money Train 2, Divine Fortune Megaways, Mega Money Rush, Gold Digger and hundreds more.

Oh, and what’s really cool, is that if you click on “play for fun” on any given game, you can play that game for free! You won’t win any real money of course, but it won’t cost you anything either!

Bob Casino Live Casino

If you click on the Live Games section, you are presented with a ridiculous amount of live games, that you can even break down into game type. Again, top points to Bob Casino here for making navigation super simple! You can choose from the following live game categories:

  • Poker
  • Roulette
  • Baccarat
  • Blackjack
  • Game Shows
  • Other

The categories of “Game Shows” and “Other” are the super-interesting ones, where you can play Monopoly, Dream Catcher, Deal or No Deal, Mega Ball, and more. We love this sort of variety!

Bob Casino Desktop/Mobile Experience

In this day and age, every punter should expect to be able to play at top-notch mobile casinos — after all, more people are playing on their mobile devices than ever before. So this means if your experience on your computer is fast, clear, and fun, your gambling experience on your phone or tablet should be exactly the same. Thankfully, Bob Casino fits that bill.

All of Bob Casino’s games are playable on a mobile device, whether it’s your phone, tablet, Android, or Apple. Everything loads quickly and is just as snappy as it would be on your computer. The only real change is that everything is a bit smaller, and some menus are hidden so that things can fit on the smaller screen. Other than that, the experience is pretty much exactly the same as on your computer.

There doesn’t seem to be a dedicated mobile app for Bob Casino, but we’re not too bothered by that, because the regular mobile website is just great.

Finally, there is no option to log in with your fingerprint or Face ID, but we won’t mark them down too much for that.

Payment and Banking Methods Available at Bob Casino

Bob Casino doesn't have all of the payment methods under the sun, but there are definitely enough options to suit most Kiwis. Visa, Mastercard, Paysafecard, Skrill, Neosurf and bank transfer are all options here, with a minimum deposit amount of $10 and a minimum withdrawal amount of $25 for all methods except bank transfer – for which the minimum withdrawal amount is NZ$25.

Again, when you go to withdraw your winnings, you will need to prove that it’s you by providing Bob Casino with a copy of your photo ID. You will also need to cash out to the same method that you paid with.

Another thing to note, is that when it comes time to withdraw your winnings, you will have to provide Bob Casino with some photo ID to prove that it is in fact you trying to get access to that money.

Payment Method Deposit Amount Withdrawal Amount Withdraw Time
VISA 10 Min - $4,000 Max $25 Min - {{site_version.currency.symbol|raw}}$4,000 Max 1-3 Days
MasterCard 10 Min - 4,000 Max $25 Min - $4,000 Max 1-3 Days
NETELLER 20 Min - 4,000 Max $20 Min - $4,000 Max Instant
Paysafecard 10 Min - 4000 Max $25 Min - $4000 Max Up to 24 Hours
Bank Transfer 10 min $750 min 3-5 Days

Bob Casino Pokies

Bob Casino Payout Rates

When you want to know how much a casino game will pay out, you will want to look at its RTP, or Return to Player percentage. The RTP is always shown as a percentage - so for example, if a pokies game has an RTP of 95%, it means it will pay out $95 for every $100 bet. Another way to look at it is that the RTP is the opposite of the house edge. So if the RTP is 95%, the house edge will be 5%.

The RTP will vary game to game, and Bob Casino does not list the RTP of every single one of their games. In saying that, all games at Bob Casino are checked by eCOGRA, the agency that checks for the fairness of online casino games, so they are all legit.

To give you a rough idea of the RTP of each category of game, check this list out:

  • Classic Pokies - 95 - 99.99%
  • Video Pokies- 91 - 98%
  • Roulette - 94 - 97%
  • Blackjack - 98 - 99%
  • Table Games - 97 - 99%
  • Video Poker - 96 - 99%
  • Scratch Cards - 94 - 95%

Bob Casino Progressive Jackpots

If you’re unaware, progressive jackpots are pokies that allow people to play for huge sums. Every time someone makes a spin on a progressive jackpot, a small amount of their bet goes towards to big jackpot. The more people that play, the bigger the progressive jackpot gets. In some cases, the progressive jackpot can be over $10 million dollars - no joke.

Now while Bob Casino does have progressive jackpots, they don’t have a separate category for them so it’s hard to see what ones they actually have. To find them, you’ll need to know the name of the progressive jackpot game, and search for it in the search bar.

Some of the progressive jackpot games we found on Bob Casino were Book of Atem, WowPot, Monster Madness, Spin Town, Great Blue and Persian Fortune.

Bob Casino Software Providers

An online casino is only as good as its software providers as those are the people that make the casino games. In the case of Bob Casino, they have a range of software developers that are both big and small. This is good because the big software developers usually have the games that everyone knows, and the smaller software providers make games that are a bit out of the ordinary for those of us looking for something different.

Some of the software providers at Bob Casino are Amatic, Big Time Gaming, Betsoft, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Play’n Go, Microgaming, Yggdrasil and more.

Bob Casino Customer Support

As you may or may not know, most online casinos are based in Europe, which can make it hard for Kiwis to get support given the difference in time zones. Thankfully though, Bob Casino has 24/7 chat support, so you can contact them any time for help.

We contacted their support team in the afternoon NZ time, and we had someone talking to us in just a few minutes. The support was friendly, and they spoke perfect English. There didn’t seem to be other options for support, but to be honest, live chat is all you need.
