Is Shotz Casino actually legit for NZ players?
Been eyeing Shotz myself for a bit and honestly the lack of solid info is what puts me off 😅 Since there's no local regulator to fall back on if they decide to sit on a withdrawal, you're pretty much trusting the brand blind. I'm a total noob here too so take my take with a grain of salt, but I'd rather wait till the NZ licensing thing shakes out. Has anyone here actually cashed out from them? 🙏
Chris is on the money here. Blind trust in an offshore site with no local regulator to complain to is how people end up posting "they won't pay me" threads months later. If anyone here has actually cashed out from Shotz, post the screenshot and the timeframe, otherwise I'm treating every "it paid me" comment as marketing.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.
Josh, the fact that a site has paid you so far proves very little on a small spin sample. The real test is whether it still pays when you've had a decent win. Until NZ has its own licensing regime up and running there's no local body to lean on, so your recourse is basically goodwill and offshore complaint boards. I'd cap any deposit at what I'm happy to write off entirely.
I keep my own spin/hit spreadsheet 📊
This might be a dumb question but when you all say "no local regulator to fall back on", what does that actually mean for someone like me who just put NZ$50 in? 😅 Like if Shotz stalls a withdrawal, who exactly would I even complain to? Still learning how this side of things works, thanks for any help 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
Not a dumb question at all mate, I only worked this out recently 😅 It basically means there's no NZ authority you can lodge a complaint with if Shotz stalls your cashout, they're offshore, so our rules don't cover them. So if they sit on your NZ$50, your options are basically emailing their support and hoping, or posting here and warning others. That's why everyone's saying to be careful 🙏
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
That actually clears it up for me too, cheers 🙏 So worst case you're just emailing their support and hoping? Does anyone know if Shotz at least has a proper licence somewhere? 😅
Proper licence somewhere offshore? Means nothing when there's no one here to enforce it 😏 Stick NZ$50 in if you like, but when they stall the payout, who you ringing, the Department of Internal Affairs? 😂
A paper win won't feed you.
Yeah that's my worry too 😅 I'd want to know where their licence actually is before putting in even NZ$20. Anyone here actually cashed out from Shotz? That'd tell me more than anything 🙏

Ringing DIA about a stalled cashout 😂 you'd have better luck getting a straight answer out of my contact about which slot's heating. Those who've cashed from Shotz, pipe up 🤫
Those who know, know.
Bit off-topic but this whole thing scares me as a newbie 😅 If no one here has actually cashed out, that silence says plenty to me, bro. Anyone tried a small test deposit?

Shotz has been fine for me, spins running sweet every night and cashed out no worries 😱🔥 Yeah the silence on payouts is a bit spooky, but y'all panic too much, whack NZ$20 in and see 😅🎰
Been on Shotz a bit myself, spins running sweet, no drama yet 😅🤑 Small test deposit is the smart move tho, soz can't confirm big cashouts. Ah well 🔥🎰

@Auckland_Legend same, started with NZ$20 myself, cage-side cashout went through clean. Word is one of their pokies is heating up too... those who know, know 😏🤫
@LuckyStreak_Spin that "heating up" talk is how they get ya 😅 pokies don't run hot on a schedule. Still, clean cashout is the real tell, got mine same day, no chase.
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.

@JoshLuck1984 nah pokies don't need a schedule, some nights they just sing 🔥 Shotz paid my NZ$ cashout quick too, so whatever the "hot" talk is, the cage side's clean 🤑🎰
The hit is close, I can feel it.
@Nick_Napier co-sign on the cage, cleared a small bonus win off Shotz myself a while back and the NZ$ landed without a single email chase 🤑 Anyone arguing about machines singing has clearly never watched variance take a NZ$ bankroll for a walk, ask me how I know 😭💸

@Auckland_Legend test deposit is the only sensible play anywhere offshore tbf. I ran a bonus clear on there last month, bet 2 a spin through the wagering and the cashout actually landed without a chase, which is more than half these sites manage. Once I trust the payout I up the bankroll, never before 😅💸

Cashed out quick?? BachLoyal you're selling me hard on this place 😂 I've been grinding my all-time favourite slot on Shotz for a couple weeks now and HOLY the spins have been kind to me, decent little hit the other night, nothing life-changing but the balance actually moved up for once 🤑🔥
Gotta ask tho LuckyStreak - which pokie you talking about?? Don't leave us hanging like that mate 👀 Auckland_Legend is right that a small test deposit first is the smart play anyway, NZ$20 and see how she treats ya, that's always been my rule 🎰💰
Backing my slot to the last spin.
@cage's clean here too 🤑 hit my fav slot on Shotz last night, small win ngl but cashout landed no drama, loving it 🔥

Ha, JoshLuck calling me out 😅 fair enough mate, I never said pokies run on a timetable. Just saying certain machines have their moods, those who know, know 🤫
Cage side though, I'll co-sign everyone here - mate of mine up my way cashed out from Shotz quick as, no dramas, and he's pickier than most. I mostly stick to the club pokies myself but word is Shotz keeps treating NZ punters alright. That's all I'll say for now 😏
@OtagoNZ moods or variance, either way it's cost me plenty of nights to learn the difference 😭 Cage side I'm with the rest though, cleared a small bonus win off Shotz in profit not long back and the NZ$ hit my account with zero chasing. That's all I judge a place on. 🎰

@SpinQueenVIP zero chasing is the dream isn't it 😅 cleared my win off Shotz the same way, NZ$ straight through. That's all the proof I need 🤑🎰

@FreeSpins_Master that's good to hear eh, zero chasing sounds like a dream 😅 I'm still new to all this and my biggest worry was always whether the win would actually land in my account. Did you have to send ID first or did they just pay straight out? Keen to know before my first visit 🤑
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Cage side's what I judge them on too, same as Josh says, cashing out in time is everything. I cleared a small NZ$ win off Shotz the other week without any mucking about, no ID dance, money straight through. Machines having "moods" 😅 nah mate, that's just variance singing to ya 🔀💸
