Short answer

Should you play at LevelUp?

A safe-feeling choice for card and e-wallet players: the payout routes are clear and LevelUp has traded since 2018. It is not new. The welcome package is spread across deposits, so value only the first one.

  1. Licence on the regulator's register

    A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.

    Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.

  2. Full terms and conditions published

    The general terms, not only the bonus terms, set the rules for withdrawals, inactive accounts and account closure.

    Find the terms link in the footer before you register and check that the terms carry a date.

  3. Withdrawal terms in writing

    Weekly and monthly caps, pending times and the KYC trigger decide how fast a win reaches you.

    Read the payments section of the terms before the first deposit. Note the weekly cap and the documents asked for.

  4. Bonus terms you can read before claiming

    Wagering, max bet, game weighting and the cap on winnings decide what a welcome offer is worth.

    Open the bonus terms from the offer page. If they only appear after deposit, skip the offer.

  5. A first small withdrawal

    The cheapest test of a new casino is a small cash-out early, before you build a balance.

    Withdraw a small win to the method you deposited with and note the time to payment.

  6. Responsible gaming tools

    Deposit, loss and time limits plus self-exclusion should be in the account menu from day one.

    Set a deposit limit before you claim anything; if you cannot, treat it as a warning.

Welcome offer

What $8,000 + 350 Free Spins is worth

Live · offers

A headline figure this size is almost always spread across several deposits and needs large deposits to unlock in full. Enter only the bonus from your first deposit and the wagering from the bonus terms. At 96% RTP each point of wagering costs about 4% of the bonus on average, so above 25x the bonus is worth less than nothing. The free spins come on top; their value depends on the stake per spin.

What it means for you At 35x on a $100 bonus you would bet $3,500 before cashing out, which costs about $140 on average at 96% RTP. The wagering, not the headline figure, decides what an offer is worth.

You must bet $4,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs $160 on average, so the bonus is worth about -$60.

Our review

LevelUp review in full

Pros
  • New Zealand dollar accounts
  • Payouts to Visa, Mastercard and bank transfer
  • Pokies from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and Play'n GO
  • Live tables from Evolution Gaming
  • Trading since 2018
Cons
  • No New Zealand licence

For players in New Zealand

LevelUp accepts players from New Zealand, according to the casino. It does not hold a New Zealand licence. The Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 has been in force since 1 May 2026, and from 1 December 2026 offshore casinos that have not applied for a licence must stop offering online casino games to New Zealanders.

Check before every deposit that LevelUp still takes New Zealand players. If it closes New Zealand accounts, withdraw your balance straight away rather than leaving money on the site.

Licensed New Zealand sites will not be allowed to take credit card deposits. Offshore sites still do, but paying by debit card, POLi or a prepaid voucher keeps your spending to money you already have. More on the new rules in our report on New Zealand's licensing and tax plans.

Licence and safety

LevelUp holds a licence from Curaçao. It launched in 2018.

Curaçao overhauled its gaming law, and licences are now issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority, which publishes a register. Find the licence number in the casino's footer and check that the register lists the same domain.

Expect to send ID and a proof of address before your first withdrawal. Upload them right after you register so the check does not hold up a win. Why new casinos ask for ID explains the process.

Games and studios

The pokies lobby includes Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play'n GO, Nolimit City and Push Gaming. Live dealer games come from Evolution Gaming, Ezugi and Playtech. Beyond pokies, the categories listed include roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker and Keno.

Check the RTP in each game's info panel. Many pokies run at several RTP settings, and a casino can pick a lower one. How to choose a new casino game covers what to look for.

Deposits and withdrawals

Deposits are listed for Visa, Mastercard, Neosurf, Skrill and Neteller, plus Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.

Withdrawals are listed for Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer, Skrill, Neteller and Payz. Casinos usually pay back to the method you deposited with, so a prepaid voucher deposit needs a second method for payouts.

How to deposit

  1. Register and upload your ID and proof of address.
  2. Open the cashier and pick a method, such as Visa, Mastercard or Neosurf.
  3. Check the minimum deposit for the bonus and any fees before you confirm.
  4. Set a deposit limit in your account before you play.

How to withdraw

  1. Make sure your account is verified.
  2. Check that no active bonus still has wagering left; it can block or cancel the payout.
  3. Choose the method you deposited with where you can.
  4. Ask for a small first withdrawal and note how long it takes.

Bonus and wagering

Whether the welcome offer is worth taking depends on the terms, not the headline. Check these in the bonus terms before you opt in:

  • the wagering multiple, and whether it applies to the bonus or to bonus plus deposit
  • the maximum bet per spin while the bonus is active
  • which games count towards wagering, and by how much
  • the time limit to finish wagering
  • any cap on winnings from the bonus or free spins

Questions

LevelUp: questions

Does LevelUp accept players from New Zealand?

Yes, according to the casino. It does not hold a New Zealand licence, so check before each deposit that it still takes New Zealand players as the new licensing rules come in.

Is LevelUp licensed?

It holds a licence from Curaçao, not a New Zealand one.

Can I play in New Zealand dollars at LevelUp?

Yes, New Zealand dollars are among its currencies.

How do I withdraw from LevelUp?

Withdrawals are listed for Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer, Skrill, Neteller and Payz. Verify your account first and ask for a small amount the first time.

Is LevelUp a new casino?

It launched in 2018. That gives it some history, though it is older than most casinos on our list.

What should I check before taking the bonus?

The wagering multiple, the maximum bet, game weighting, the time limit and any cap on winnings. At 96% RTP, wagering above 25x on the bonus costs more on average than the bonus is worth.
