My honest take after playing at Stay Casino - worth your time?
Stay Casino, yeah I've been on it every evening for a while now and honestly it's become my go-to 🔥 The slot selection is huge ngl, and last night I smacked a win on my all-time favourite that had me buzzing til 2am 🤑 NZ$ 200 up from like a NZ$ 40 deposit, can't complain about that.
The free spins dropped in nicely too and wagering was actually doable, which surprised me cos most places make you jump through hoops. Been lucky with the withdrawals so far but I've seen mixed stories here so keen to hear how everyone else got paid. Anyway for us kiwi punters it works fine, spinning away from Wellington with zero dramas 🎰💰
One slot, one love 🎰
Up NZ$200 off a NZ$40 deposit is a great night, but I'd want to know how the withdrawal went before calling it paying, cleared the wagering in profit or did the cashout stall? 🎰
Bankroll discipline wins 💸

Same question here 😅 I'm still stuck mid-wagering on my bonus, so I'd love to hear if the cashout actually went through for you, SampleLab 🙏
Half a win story's like a ruck with no ball, mate 😏 gotta see the cashout land before I take a punt on Stay myself. SamJandal's asking the right question, anyone can post the fun side of the ledger. If that withdrawal clears I'll listen, those who know, know 🤫
Those who know, know.
Gotta say the win story's doing a lot of heavy lifting without the boring half 😅 SampleLab, everyone's asking the same thing and it's not a gotcha, did the withdrawal actually land in your account or is it still "processing"? I'm a total noob here, only just worked out what wagering even means, so if the cashout cleared I'd genuinely love to know before I deposit more than my barista pay allows 🙏
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Tui tag the cashier question hard out 😅 but honestly I've pulled NZ$ off Stay before, took a bit of processing and I still went back same night. Ah well 🎰🔥

Honest question from a newbie here, everyone keeps asking for the cashout screenshot but nobody's asked if the wagering was even cleared first 😅 If there's bonus money tied up in the win, of course it'll sit "processing". SampleLab, was that NZ$ win from a bonus or your own deposit? Makes a big difference surely 🤔
New here, soaking it up.
Good point from Numbers_Value actually, that changes everything 😅 my big hits on Stay came off my own deposits so no wagering drama, cashouts landed fine. But yeah if it's bonus money then obviously it's gonna sit in processing for a bit, that's just how wagering works everywhere, not a Stay thing 🔥🎰
Backing my slot to the last spin.
Hmm, so was your NZ$ win off a bonus or deposit, SampleLab? 😅 Total noob here but wagering locked my first cashout too. Keen to try Stay if it actually pays 🤞

@Queenstown Numbers_Value asked the right question, and it's worth internalising early: whether the win came off a bonus or your own deposit changes everything about how the cashout behaves. With your own deposit there's no wagering attached, so if the money sits in "processing" for days, that's on the cashier. Keep a simple log of what you deposited, what bonus terms you accepted and when the withdrawal went through 📊 it'll tell you more about a site than any review will.
I keep my own spin/hit spreadsheet 📊

@WinLive correct in the most boring way possible 😏 internalise this, internalise that - Queenstown just wants to know if Stay pays, mate, not write a thesis on wagering attaches.
Simple version for the noob: your own NZ$ deposit, you withdraw whenever, nobody blinks. Take their bonus money and suddenly you're spinning NZ$0.40 like Jandal_Mate grinding away like it's a part-time job, then crossing fingers they actually let it go through. I've watched punters turn NZ$50 into real money and still get told the paperwork isn't right. A win on paper, right 🤡 My take: skip the bonus, fund it yourself, keep your dignity. The house always wins anyway, at least pay your own bus fare to the loss 😂
The house always wins.

@WinLive thanks, that actually clears it up for me 😅 still learning bonuses but I get it now, bonus win = wagering first, own deposit = cash out whenever. Simple as 👍

Bonus clears are where the cashout drama always lives. I run my clears on the smallest sensible bet per spin, maybe NZ$0.40, grind the wagering out then cash fast 💸 never had Stay hold a deposit-only win.
Bankroll discipline wins 💸
Yes, Stay pays some people. That's how every casino works - if nobody ever got paid, the word would spread in a week. What nobody posts in these threads is the cashout screenshot with the timestamp and account balance visible. Got one of those? Then we're talking.
Queenstown, the simple version is right: deposit wins withdraw cleaner, bonus wins are where they get you. Read the max bet and max cashout terms before you touch a bonus, because a NZ$ cap on a big hit will hurt more than any gimped RTP story. And keep in mind these offshore places aren't licensed here at all, the local licensing regime is still being sorted out, so if a withdrawal stalls, your recourse is basically a complaint form and hope. Luck gets you the win; the terms decide whether you keep it. Long run you're still playing minus, so budget like it.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
Nick wants a timestamped screenshot like it's a court exhibit 😂 mate some of us just cash and go. Last night on my fave slot the bonus finally landed after weeks of nada and walked away up NZ$340, withdrawal was through before I'd even finished my coffee 🔥💰
I'm on it every evening and yeah I've had the odd dry patch but that's slots for ya, variance is variance. Anyone in here actually hit the big one on Stay or are we all grinding small wins and telling ourselves the next session is the one 😅🤑

@VegasDivaFortuna NZ$340 before coffee, that's the dream session ngl 😱🔥 cashing out quick is the only way to play, screenshots can wait. I had a night like that once on my favourite slot, hit the bonus three spins apart and just sat there laughing, never touched the withdraw button that fast before or since. Ah well, chasing that feeling every evening since 🤑🎰
One slot, one love 🎰

@VegasDivaFortuna NZ$340 and out before coffee, that's how you run a bankroll 🔥 I did the same once, cleared the wagering on NZ$2 a spin and cashed before the bonus round cooled down. Does Stay pay that quick every time for you?
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
Only made my first deposit there last week, still figuring out the wagering tbh 😅 that timestamped cashout screenshot is a fair ask though Nick. Do you need to finish the whole bonus before you can withdraw anything? 🤔
Wagering on bonuses there took me ages last time, way easier to skip it and just cash like Diva did 🔥 NZ$340 before coffee, absolute dream session 🤑
One slot, one love 🎰

@RotoruaNZ mate that "sat there laughing" bit is exactly the feeling, had a bonus land back to back once and forgot how to breathe lol 😱🔥 skip the wagering dramas and just cash it, always worked better for me... NZ$340 before coffee has me keen to give Stay another go tonight honestly 🤑🎰
The hit is close, I can feel it.
@BigWinOrBust4Life yeah basically once you take a bonus the wagering has to be cleared before you touch that part of the balance, ask support if you can cancel the bonus and just withdraw your own deposit instead 🎰 Did that at Stay once, kept NZ$60 of a NZ$100 deposit and walked rather than grind NZ$2 spins for two days 💸
Cashing out in time is half the battle.

@NearMissHater so let me see if I've got it, if I cancel the bonus I can just pull my own deposit back out without touching the wagering? 😅 that would've saved me a grinding session last week. Did support make you jump through hoops to do it or was it a quick chat?

@NearMissHater walking with NZ$60 from a NZ$100 deposit takes discipline mate, most punters would chase it instead 🔥 I get too attached to the bonuses tbh, my all-time favourite slot just keeps me grinding the wagering like a muppet lol... maybe I should try your cancel-and-cash trick sometime 🤑

@Lee_Otago yeah that's the gist, quick chat with support and they stripped it off. Did it at Stay myself once, no hoops. Saved me hours of grinding 😏
Those who know, know.

@Rotorua_Local good to know it's a quick chat then, might save that trick for a rough night 😅 tho ngl half the time I can't bring myself to cancel, my favourite slot just needs ONE more bonus round to hit big and suddenly I'm three hours deep 🎰🤑 Stay's been decent to me on those grinds anyway.
Backing my slot to the last spin.

@Rotorua_Local good yacunt to know, did the same trick myself one rough night and support sorted it in minutes 🔥 tho ngl most nights I can't bring myself to cancel, my all-time favourite just needs one more bonus round and suddenly I'm three hours deep like OneMoreSpin says 😅 Stay's been decent to me on the grinds anyway 🤑

Ha, that cancel-the-bonus trick is a good one to have up the sleeve, though I reckon it would've broken my heart back in the day. Turned 50 into 5k once on the old slots because I refused to walk away, so I get why you lot can't pull the trigger 😄 ah well, we grind on.
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
