Shotz Casino targeting NZ players - anyone actually cashed out?
Keen to hear the answers here because Shotz keeps popping up on my feed too 😅 I only made my first ever deposit a few weeks back and the whole cashout process still scares me a bit. Since they're offshore there's no local regulator to complain to if a withdrawal goes sideways, right? Anyone been through their KYC with a NZ$ payout that actually landed? 🙏
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
You've got it right, FreespinLord — offshore means nobody local to complain to if the withdrawal stalls. I won't touch Shotz until someone posts an actual cashout screenshot with the transaction visible; "it paid me" posts mean nothing to me. Check the blacklist first, then decide if your first deposit is worth the risk.
Licence first, deposit after.
SamJandal's right that a screenshot means nothing until the money's actually sitting in your account, I've seen plenty of "paid" posts where the transaction never shows. FreespinLord, don't let the cashout fear put you off entirely, but treat any offshore deposit as money you're prepared to lose, and skip the bonus until you've tested how they handle a small withdrawal. My rule after yesterday's bust: wagering cleared or not, cash out early and often. 🎰
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
Interesting how everyone's fixated on payout screenshots when the hit rate on trust matters more than the RTP any offshore site advertises. FreespinLord, you've got it right, no local regulator yet while the licensing regime is still being worked through, so a stalled NZ$ withdrawal means emailing support into the void and hoping. I'd wait until the government actually grants licences to a limited set of operators, then pick from that list; until then Shotz is a punt with zero recourse if it goes dead.
I keep my own spin/hit spreadsheet 📊
SamJandal's screenshot standard is the right one, though I'd add that even a visible transaction only proves that one payout. Variance in how they treat a punter's second or third withdrawal is where the risk sits. I keep a spreadsheet for my sessions and I'd want a couple of NZ$ cashouts through KYC before trusting anything offshore. With no local regulator while the licensing regime is still in progress, your only leverage is the deposit you can afford to lose.

Quick dumb question 😅 what counts as a "visible transaction" on a screenshot? Like does it need a date and amount or just the payment showing? Still learning bonuses, go easy on me 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
Means the actual payout showing mate. Date, NZ$ amount, and the transaction on your bank or wallet side, not just a screenshot from the casino dashboard 🙏 A deposit slip proves nothing, that's just you feeding them money. If Shotz ever pays me I'd wanna see the money actually land in my bank before believing it 😅
Backing my slot to the last spin.
Win24 here — TrampingMad nailed it. Also grab the email thread where they confirm the withdrawal; if they stall, that's the only thing you can wave around. No payout, no proof, simple as.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.
Win24 is right about the email thread, learned that one the hard way myself 😏 keep everything saved. Still, no local licence yet means if Shotz stiffs you there's nobody here to complain to, and that's the part that makes me cautious. Word is a couple of offshore outfits will get the green light soon, you know the rest 🤫
Those who know, know.
Same worry here 😅 total noob with one deposit so far, but until someone posts a real NZ$ payout proof I'm holding off. Thanks Nick_Win and QueenOfSpins for the licence point 🙏

Keen on this too, feeds me the same ads every night while I'm spinning 🔥 that alone makes me side-eye. What gets me is there's no local regulator yet, so if a cashout goes sideways you're basically emailing into the void and hoping someone offshore has a good day. Had a mate wait days on an offshore payout once and I was sweating just watching it, can't imagine doing that with my whole NZ$ deposit sitting there 😅
Still, if any Kiwi here actually got paid out of Shotz, post the proof and I'll happily eat my words. Always action here when someone drops a real cashout screenshot 🤑
One slot, one love 🎰
Same, the ads find me every night too 😅 QueenOfSpins nailed it though, no local regulator means any payout proof would go straight in my saved folder if I ever got one. Ah well, holding off for now.

@Auckland_Legend I cracked and ran a NZ$50 tester after seeing this thread... NearMissHater's right, KYC drag was real but mine landed too. Kinda hooked now 😅🎰
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
@Auckland_Legend same boat here, saved folder is still empty of anything Shotz 😭 Did a NZ$50 tester last month and cleared the bonus in profit, cashout sat "processing" for days before it actually landed - got there in t…
@BachLoyal hooked is how it starts mate 😅 I ran a similar tester on my bonus-hunt week, cleared it at 40c a spin and the withdrawal hit without drama once the KYC docs went through first try. Only advice: get the ID uploaded before you even deposit, saves you days of processing drag. Cashout proof from two of you in this thread is good enough for me to put NZ$50 aside for a tester.
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
Chased Shotz ads around for a week myself and noticed they keep showing up right after I close my evening slots tab 🤔 that targeting ain't accidental lads. Anyway I'm in the same boat, no cashout proof, no NZ$ from me, not while there's no local outfit to kick up a stink to if things go wrong. First decent payout screenshot from a real punter and I'll probably crack though 😅 my willpower ain't that strong when a shiny casino keeps showing up every night...
The hit is close, I can feel it.
Yeah same, still waiting on a single real NZ$ cashout proof from anyone here 😅 Not risking my deposit till then. If someone posts one, do they include the KYC bit too?

@Auckland_Legend same boat here, saved folder is still empty of anything Shotz 😭 Did a NZ$50 tester last month and cleared the bonus in profit, cashout sat "processing" for days before it actually landed - got there in the end but the KYC drag was real. If a payout proof turns up it's worth just as much with the KYC screenshot attached, that's the bit everyone skips 🎰
Cashing out in time is half the battle.

@AllInEveryTime_Mode mate the ads chase everyone after slots tabs, that's just how targeting works 😅 Two boys in this very thread already got NZ$ paid out, that's proof enough for me. KYC drag happens everywhere 🔥🎰

@NearMissHater that processing drag scared me off too but mine cleared quicker ngl. Pre-upload your ID before depositing, saves days 🔥 this slot pays 💰
Backing my slot to the last spin.
@JoshGold chur for the tip, gonna pre-upload mine tonight 🙌 Shotz is my all-time favourite at the mo, on it every evening and it PAYS 🔥💰🎰
The hit is close, I can feel it.
@AlmostHadItSurvivor solid tip re the pre-upload, did the same and KYC took no time 🔥 my last session on my favourite slot went OFF, up NZ$ over a hundred 😱💰
@JoshGold same experience here, pre-uploaded my ID before my first deposit and the cashout went through without a hiccup. Did a bonus hunt on Shotz last week, cleared the wagering at $1 a spin and actually got paid, which says something. Anyone else find the wagering on their welcome bonus a bit steep tho? 💸
Bankroll discipline wins 💸
@Jandal_Mate cleared the wagering at $1 a spin and still got paid? That's the part I can't get my head around 😅 does the max bet rule trip anyone up, or is $1 well under the cap?
@AlmostHadItSurvivor solid tip re the pre-upload, did the same and KYC took no time 🔥 my last session on my favourite slot went OFF, up NZ$ over a hundred 😱💰
@Jandal_Mate the $1 spins is honestly the smart way to do a bonus hunt, no stress about tipping over the max bet cap 🙌 cashed out mine sweet as too, and my last session on my all-time favourite slot went OFF, up over NZ$100 😱🔥 Shotz paying out properly earns my loyalty ngl 💰
@WildWin_Queen sweet as indeed 😂 $1 spins is the only way I do hunts too, zero panic mid-session. And nah you're not alone, my favourite slot had me up a few hundred NZ$ the other night on Shotz, cashout landed quick and…
@Jandal_Mate same, pre-uploading the ID saved me so much drama 💯 cleared a hunt at $1 spins too and got paid, Shotz just hits different 🔥🎰

@HarryChur "hits different" eh - did you even withdraw, or just the bonus hunt brag? Everyone in here's up until wagering eats it 😏 guaranteed minus long-run, mark my words 🤡💸
A paper win won't feed you.
