I’ve been fortunate to spend the last few weeks reviewing the Vegas Lounge Casino to see what makes it tick and how it’s improved since opening in 2021. It’s a casino that is highly rated amongst its peers. I’ve been impressed not just by the strong 2,000+ games on offer but also its ability to provide a diverse structure, such as slots, live casino, table games, jackpots, daily jackpots, scratched, and free play, to name just a few.
The casino is licensed with the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission. This allows the casino to access a global market in terms of players. Still, more than that, it shows a willingness to comply with highly stringent regulations to ensure player safety and game fairness. It’s this attention to detail that I’ve been most impressed with, as you will see throughout my Vegas Lounge Casino review.

Vegas Lounge Casino: Editor's Verdict
I was blown away by the range of games at Vegas Lounge. Its drive to continue adding new developers and titles is exciting, as each time I logged on, there was something fresh to try. Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n Go, and Yggdrasil have an influencing role to play in terms of the backbone of the games catalog, but it’s the smaller developers that got my juices flowing, offering titles that were available at very few of Vegas Lounge’s competitors.
The casino's size means it’s hard to state who it’s best suited for. It ticks all boxes regarding games, and table limits range from 0.01 to 5,000 coins with some table games. Everything from the range of the live dealer games to the help/FAQ section, to the loyalty lounge and the VIP section has been superb.
One of the biggest compliments that I can give Vegas Lounge is that there are very few weaknesses, and if you’ve not tried them yet, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.
A Closer Look at Pros and Cons
Probably the standout feature of Vegas Lounge Casino is the 2000+ casino games they have on offer, including rooms for live casino, new games, slot machine, table games, jackpots, daily jackpots, scratch ‘n’ win cards, free game and providers. This makes it easy to find the games you are looking for at any given time.
There are also loyalty and VIP programs which include cashback offers and various gifts across different tiers to reward player loyalty among existing customers.
Customer support can be accessed via 24/7 live chat, but there is also email support if required. There is a brief FAQ section too, although this could do with expanding.
On the downside, there is as yet no app for mobile users, although with the site being fully optimized so that you can enjoy playing your favourite casino games from your mobile browser, I don’t see this as a significant issue. Another minor gripe is the lack of cryptocurrency payment options.
Vegas Lounge Casino vs. Competitors
The top reason I would choose Vegas Lounge Casino over the competitors is the extensive range of games from a list of over 140 game providers. As a consequence, you can always be assured of a tremendous variety of exciting games at your fingertips.
New games are also a feature at Vegas Lounge Casino, with exciting new titles being added on a regular basis. This is another benefit of having such a vast array of game providers, which few online casinos in New Zealand can rival.
There's also an impressive number of jackpot games at Vegas Lounge Casino, so there’s always plenty of options when you’re seeking out those big payouts.
Another area where Vegas Lounge Casino has an edge over the competition is with their generous welcome offer for new customers and cashback offers. There is a 50% cashback offer worth up to NZ$400 in the first week as a customer, with 10% cashback thereafter.
Some players might be disappointed at the lack of a sportsbook on the site, but perhaps it pays to stick to what you’re best at, and Vegas Lounge Casino clearly has a very impressive casino site.
The Vegas Lounge Experience
Vegas Lounge Casino is a very neat and clean looking site that’s easy on the eye. Navigation is made simple and straightforward by the clear layout, with tabs for live casino, new games, slot machine, table games, jackpots, daily jackpots, scratch ‘n’ win cards, free game and providers.
This gives you a variety of options, whether you are using a desktop or mobile device, to find the game you are looking for or to explore the site for something of interest.
Sign-up
Signing-up for an account as a new customer with Vegas Lounge Casino is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few minutes.
To set-up your account, first click on the “Register” tab in the top right-hand side of the Vegas Lounge Casino homepage and enter the requisite personal details. The details you will need to complete will all be very familiar if you have opened an account at almost any other online casino and include the following:
First Name
Last Name
Gender
Birth Date
Address
Email Address
Telephone Number
Password
Payment Method
As you can see, these are all fairly routine details and there is nothing terribly complicated to be concerned about.
Once you have completed the registration process, you are ready to make your first deposit (ensuring that you opt-in for the welcome bonus) and then to start enjoying the fantastic selection of games at your disposal.
Banking
New Zealand-based players at Vegas Lounge Casino have a reasonable choice of options with which to fund their accounts, with Visa, Mastercard, Paysafecard, Apple Pay, Skrill, NeoSurf and Maestro all available.
It might not be the biggest selection, and the lack of a cryptocurrency option will undoubtedly be a disappointment to some players, but there are enough payment methods to be able to satisfy most requirements.
It’s worth noting that it requires a minimum deposit of NZ$20 to trigger the welcome bonus. The minimum withdrawal from your cash funds is NZ$10.
Once a withdrawal is requested, it will remain pending for between 1-2 days. Once approved it will be processed immediately but may take up to 3 working days to reach your account - this period will vary depending on the withdrawal method selected.
I do feel that the withdrawal times are a little on the long side and could certainly be improved upon.
Bonuses
Bonuses and promos are big attractions for many players when it comes to deciding which online casinos to open accounts with. The welcome bonus for new players at Vegas Lounge Casino in New Zealand requires a minimum deposit of NZ$20 to qualify.
The Vegas Lounge welcome bonus offer is a 50% real cashback on cash losses of up to NZ$400. The cashback is on cash losses based on a 7-day period of any cash losses incurred up until 23:59 (GMT) on the 7th day after making your initial deposit.
During the 7-day period the maximum cashback you can receive from this offer is NZ$400. With no wagering requirements, I think that must be seen as a superb offer.
Existing players can claim an additional 10% weekly cashback on all losses that is uncapped. That's another very attractive deal.
Another current promo is, “Cruise The Med”, with 10 double tickets totalling NZ$80,000 up for grabs. For every NZ$50 wagered on any qualifying Pragmatic Play games, you will receive 10 draw tickets. Every NZ$50 wagered on any other game will see you given 1 draw ticket.
There are also a variety of rewards and gifts available via the loyalty and VIP programs.
Overall, it’s fair to say that there are a decent mix of generous promos on offer for Vegas Lounge Casino players.
Games
There are a wide variety of games at Vegas Lounge Casino, slots, including table games and live dealer games. Games are also supplied by a wide selection of software providers, including some of the leading names in the industry – Microgaming, NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Leander and many more besides.
The vast choice of game producers ensures that you will never be wanting for variety at Vegas Lounge Casino. Another major benefit of playing on this site is that there are table limits to suit all budgets.
The slot game choice is particularly strong on the site, with a good mix of exciting themes, features and great graphics. If you’re looking for those big payouts, progressive jackpot titles such as Mega Moolah and Hall of Gods are available.
There's also a nice selection of table games, with several variants of blackjack, roulette, craps and poker.
If you’re looking for that real life casino feel, then Vegas Lounge Casino offers players an authentic experience playing live roulette, live blackjack and live baccarat. Those looking for the thrill of an instant win can also try out the large selection of scratch cards.
If you’re unsure of what online casino games you prefer, then there’s a wide variety of games you can test out on free play demo mode. Try before you buy!
Mobile App
Although there is no dedicated mobile app at Vegas Lounge Casino, the site is fully optimized so there is no problem in being able to play your favourite casino games on the move via your mobile browser (including for Android and iOS devices).
The lack of a mobile app is common with other online casino sites owned by White Hat Gaming Limited, so it’s clearly something that they are comfortable with, and you can still enjoy a great mobile experience at Vegas Lounge Casino.
Support
Customer support on the Vegas Lounge Casino site is offered 24/7 via live chat, which is very much the method of communication favored by most online casinos these days. Should you prefer, or if your enquiry is less urgent, there is also an email option available.
In keeping with many other online casinos, Vegas Lounge Casino doesn’t offer phone support, although there is an argument that live chat has essentially made it redundant.
There is a very small FAQ section on the site too, although this needs to be significantly expanded upon if it is to be of any genuine use.
Safety and Security
Vegas Lounge Casino has a license from the Malta Gaming Authority, which is regarded as one of the best and most trusted licenses in the gambling industry.
There are security measures in place to protect your personal data from access by unauthorized persons and to prevent unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

Links to outside support are available on the site for Gambling Therapy, GamBlock and Gamcare.
Should you ever feel that you need help with your gambling, it’s important to know that there are plenty of options and support there for you.
