GrandReef Casino Review

There is a five-tier sign up bonus available at Grand Reef that is potentially worth up to $5000 for new players registering for an account and making $2500 in deposits in the first twelve days since the first deposit:

• 150% match bonus on first deposit (up to $750)
• 175% match bonus on second deposit (up to $875)
• 200% match bonus on third deposit (up to $1000)
• 225% match bonus on fourth deposit (up to $1125)
• 250% match bonus on fifth deposit (up to $1250)

Your four deposits totalling $2500 will ultimately give you a bankroll of $7500 (an overall match of 200%).

In addition, the wagering requirement attached to this bonus is a competitive 40x, one of the best to be found anywhere online, although the contribution that each game makes to the playthrough requirement varies:

• online pokies – 100%
• table poker and roulette – 25%
• blackjack, craps, baccarat – 5%
• video poker – 0%

Overall, this introductory offer is good value if you play online pokies regularly and are able to make the full commitment to receive all four stage of the sign-up bonus. If, however, your preferred games are video poker, blackjack or craps, or you’re a casual or occasional player, then you’ll probably be able to find better welcome bonuses that are more geared towards the games that you play.

There’s always a good range of ongoing promotions happening at Grand Reef, including the Loyalty Rewards bonus scheme. Like most promotions of this kind, when you play you’re awarded points which can be converted to credits, but this one is also different because it’s cumulative rather than evaluated monthly, which suits the more occasional player, as once a particular level has been attained, you don’t then drop down again if you have a less active month. There is also a $50 Refer a Mate bonus, as well as other promotions throughout the year when you can earn additional match bonuses, reward points or give-away prizes.

Grand Reef does a good job in marketing itself to, and looking after, New Zealand players, and this is why it has made such a big impression since its launch in 2010. Its large selection of quality Playtech games, user-friendly layout, and detailed instructions for all its games make it an enjoyable place to play, as do the progressive jackpot games on offer. The introductory bonus is potentially lucrative, especially for the highly committed player, while the competitive wagering requirement of 20x, to which online pokies contribute 100%, also make it a site where New Zealand players can expect to receive very good value for money.
