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.

What $2,000 + 100 Free Spins is worth
The casino states 50x wagering. Set the bonus part you would actually receive; most players claim the first deposit part only.

You must bet $20,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs $800 on average, so the bonus is worth about -$400.

The Stakehouse at a glance
The Stakehouse takes Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Revolut and crypto, with New Zealand dollars as an account currency.
Founded in 2025, it is one of the newest brands on our list, with no history of payouts to judge it by. If a withdrawal is refused, you have little leverage beyond the casino's own support.
Playing from New Zealand
New Zealand now licenses online casinos under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026. The Stakehouse does not hold a New Zealand licence.
From 1 December 2026, operators that have not applied for a New Zealand licence must stop offering online casino games here. The Act's penalties are aimed at operators and advertisers rather than players. Even so, a casino that takes New Zealand players today may change its terms, so check that your account stays open before you leave a balance there.
Our news story on New Zealand's regulated casino market explains how the licences work.
Licence and safety
Curaçao reformed its licensing system, and the Curaçao Gaming Authority now issues licences itself, publishes a register and takes player complaints. Protection is still weaker than under a regulator such as Malta's.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and look it up on the regulator's own register. Then set a deposit limit in your account before you play; if the casino offers no limits or self-exclusion, treat that as a warning. Our page on responsible gaming covers the tools to look for.
Games and studios
The studios include Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Relax Gaming, Microgaming and Playson, among 14 names in total. Live tables come from Evolution, among others.
Many slots come in several RTP versions, and the casino chooses which one to run. Open the game's information screen and check the RTP before you play.
Deposits and withdrawals
New Zealand dollars are one of its account currencies. Deposit methods include Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard and Revolut, plus crypto such as Ethereum, Litecoin and Tether.
No withdrawal methods are on file, so ask support how winnings are paid out before you deposit.
How to deposit at The Stakehouse
- Register, then open the cashier from your balance or the deposit button.
- Choose a method and enter the amount; check the minimum deposit for the welcome offer if you want it.
- Confirm the payment in your banking app, card screen or wallet.
- Set a deposit limit in your account before your first bet.
How to withdraw from The Stakehouse
- Upload your ID and proof of address early, because no reputable casino pays out without them.
- Open the cashier, choose Withdraw and, where possible, the method you deposited with.
- Check that no active bonus still has wagering left, or it can block the withdrawal.
- Start with a small amount and note how long it takes to arrive.
Why casinos ask for documents, and which ones, is explained in our guide to ID checks at new casinos.
Welcome offer and terms
The current offer for New Zealand players is shown at the top of this page, as the casino states it. What it is worth depends on the terms: wagering, the time limit, the maximum bet while the bonus is active, which games count, and any cap on winnings.
- Open the bonus terms before you deposit and note the wagering and time limit.
- Check whether your payment method is excluded from the offer; e-wallets often are.
- Keep to the maximum bet with a bonus active, or the casino can void it.
- Large packages are spread over several deposits. Claim only the stages you would have deposited anyway.
Our guide on how to find and claim bonuses works through the maths, and the terms and conditions overview lists the clauses that matter.
Our verdict
Usable from New Zealand if you pay by e-wallet or crypto: there is no card on the deposit list. The brand is new, on a Curaçao licence, with Evolution and Pragmatic Play among a short studio list.
