Preview of ZAR Casino

Reportedly established back in 2006, ZAR Casino is one of a few casinos created for players in South Africa. Payments are in rand with several popular deposit methods. The site boasts a wide range of slots, video poker, and live dealer games, with easy navigation between titles in the arcade. We’ll cover all of these, as well as some of their fantastic bonuses, in our ZAR Casino review belowIt would be nice to have more games from other software providers added to ZAR Casino’s library, and we’d like to see additional transparency around the site’s regulation, the random number generators they use, and so on. However, none of this changes the fact that this is a fun site to play at overall.

Software and range of games

4.3

"ZAR Casino uses a range of providers for their games, namely Genii, Saucify, Rival, and Nucleus Gaming. This amounts to a library of around 200 games, including slots, video poker, live casino games, and various table games. Popular titles include Show Me The Honey, Rise of Spartans, and Band Outta Hell. If you’re hunting for progressive games, you won’t find any of the usual millionaire makers here".

The absence of bigger providers like Microgaming and NetEnt means that some branded and big name titles often associated with online casinos aren’t available, but there are still plenty of themes and variations to enjoy. In fact, most players will find a whole new crop of games to try here.Another positive is that the site is entirely browser-based, so there’s no need to download any additional software to your device before you can start playing.

Live Casino

ZAR Casino has 10 live dealer games, most of which are variations of Blackjack and Roulette, powered by Fresh Deck. For players hoping to combine the excitement of brick and mortar gambling with the convenience of online casinos, live dealer games offer an excellent middle ground.

Bonuses and promotions

"When it comes to promotions, ZAR Casino isn’t shy about what’s available. The site’s homepage makes it very clear that all new players can score up to R15,000 in bonus cash and 100 free spins on Big Game using the promo code ZARWELCOME".

Of course, as with virtually all casino bonuses, there are wagering requirements to watch out for here – that figure is 50x for ZAR Casino bonuses unless stated otherwise. It’s also worth highlighting that players must have made a deposit equal to at least 50% of the bonus value before any withdrawal of funds from a bonus is allowed.We were seriously impressed by the range of promotions and reload bonuses available at ZAR Casino, including everything from bonus cash and free spins through to (at the time of writing) train journeys and car giveaways. In other words, there’s plenty here for both new players and regulars alike.

"As its name suggests, ZAR Casino allows deposits and withdrawals using the South African rand. That’s ideal for players in South Africa because it means you can avoid the currency conversion costs that you’ll find on some other sites".

Players here can take advantage of several different payment methods for their transactions:
  • EFT (min. deposit: R55 [Instant EFT], R255 [EFTPay])
  • Mastercard (min. deposit: R50)
  • Visa (min. deposit: R100)
  • Bitcoin
Deposits and withdrawals are typically processed quickly, and ZAR Casino points out on their website that they process withdrawals daily. Note you may find yourself waiting a little longer than that, since payments to player accounts only take place every Monday and Thursday.

Security and fair play

"ZAR casino is regulated by Curaçao eGaming (CEG), a subset of the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (CGCB) – although they don’t display a badge or icon anywhere, they make that clear on their site. Unfortunately, they don’t currently provide any information about how they use random number generators (RNGs) to ensure fairness or the results of any third-party audits".

This isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, as the site has been around for quite a while and offers games from a range of reputable providers. However, in this world of increasingly safety-savvy players, a higher level of detail and transparency is something that we’d expect to see. We’re not overly concerned about this though.We found ZAR Casino’s 24/7, 365 customer support very responsive when we got in touch with them, with a couple of our live chat queries being answered within seconds of sending. The tollfree phone number might be a better option for explaining more complicated problems, and you can email them if you need to include screenshots or other documentation.

"Although you won’t find a ZAR Casino app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you can download the ZAR Casino APK if your Android is set up to allow apps from external sources. If you’re not comfortable doing this, you can simply use the responsive version of the main website on mobile devices".

The entire library of ZAR Casino’s games is available on smartphones and tablets, as well as desktops and laptops, which is great news for players looking to take their favourite games with them while they’re on the move. And the vast majority of titles perform very well once you get used to playing them on a smaller screen.
