Going into more detail, the site boast a great service that many people will enjoy (myself included). The strong points of the site for me would be the range of different gambling methods provided on the site paired with strong welcome offers. Along with this, the brand has given me valuable information for just about everything gambling related saving me hundreds of boring google searches. Now onto the negatives. Popups. Everyone hates them, yet playcasino decided it was a good idea to implement them. Personally this takes away from the experience of using the site enough to take it down to 4 stars. And on that note the site also has a spammy notification section at the top right which also doesn't help its cause this doesn't take it down another star but I would like this changed or removed in the future. On the whole as mentioned before the site is good so if you can look past some of the less than stellar visual effects it might become the site many more people are looking for.
Unfortunately, finding a serious site that actually values players time can be a frustrating process. I enjoy having bingo be my game of choice so as the player I'm completely at the mercy of the casino when it comes to odds and randomness. Obviously I can look for licensed casinos manually but here in South Africa that's like looking for a gorge in a desert. So you can imagine the joy I found when playcasino was recommended me. First of all the amount of time I saved was a joy; being able to hop into casinos that have already been curated with licenses in mind just brings me so much happiness. On top of this casino bonuses are listed on the site and updated often so no faulty links that take you to the wrong deal or site. With so many great things from the site a 4 star seems unwarranted. Until you hear that there's those annoying popups exist on the site making the browsing experience a little inconvenient. Aside from this I've enjoyed playing through the site so overall checking out the site would be encouraged. Thanks for reading, Anele J
Upon first glance at the site, I immediately felt that something was off. I mean, this is exactly the type of site you'd expect to see in a scam PSA. But after doing some research, I decided to trust the website and play on Springbok, collecting a nice welcome bonus in the process. Sticking to blackjack, I had an enjoyable time and even made a small profit by the end of the session. After playing on the site, I decided to check out some of the guides and was pleasantly surprised by the level of detail. They broke down some crucial concepts that, honestly, I should have read about before playing. On the downside, the site feels behind the times in terms of its overall user experience, and the pop-ups feel invasive and generally just really annoying. That said, the site offers a bunch of great resources for both playing and learning, so a higher rating is justified in my eyes.
First used the site just over 2 weeks ago and have found a casino I'm happy to play on. One thing that pisses me off about the online gambling industry is the amount of sites that appear to be legit but in reality are unlicensed, filled with horrible clauses or just full on scams. Using guides seemed like the natural thing to do when looking to play with little knowledge or know how of what really goes on when it comes to online casinos. I have only played with 1 casino on the site but despite that fact I've easily been able to understand different casino games through the id depth guides produced by the site on what seems like everything you could ever want. From my limited experience exploring and testing the casinos I can't really speak on the reliability of the site for long term use but it pointed me to a fun welcome bonus and a licensed casino that didn't just blatantly steal my money. The reason for the 4 stars: Site is just ugly and a little jank. I mean give it 5 seconds and you will understand what I mean. Other than this definitely worth the look if you're a casual player.
Mentioned in the title, the site has some great features that I loved using. Primarily, the guides feel authentic and well catered to ensure that when I next play I'm that much wiser. Along with this, the bonuses offered by the site are exceptional and have led to many fun gambling sessions. With such a wide range of casinos found on the site trying many different games is encouraged which makes for a pretty great core for the site. Other than this, the site needs to make some serious changes AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. For instance the lag when trying to load different pages of the site can be ridiculous. My most recent example is when I wanted to read a review for Supabet and the site loaded in. I kid you not. 2 and a half minutes! In that time I made myself a drink and still had time. In the end I had a great time playing on the site but this issue needs to be fixed if it wishes to have any players at all. Another issue that stems from the previous point is the amount of images that simply don't load making the site turn into a buggy mess. Hopefully these issues can be fixed but if you come across these issues when using the site as well I would advise finding a competitor.
Let me start with the bad points. The site looks ugly and needs a major tech upgrade. While I will admit that the site has a great team that produces some frankly fantastic content. To go into more detail the site struggles to load upon first entrance. Once you get past the initial loading of the site you're smooth sailing but some occasions can feel like minutes go down the drain before even looking at the site. On top of this the wait time doesn't feel warranted with the end product being an ugly eyesore that most people will want to leave immediately. On to the good points that do a great job at making up for the previous negatives the site has. Firstly the advice/reviews are exactly what any online casino player could want. In-depth reviews that actually tell the truth and shed light on real negatives of the casino. This is pretty self explanatory but too many people have had runs with dodgy casinos including me and being able to avoid the pain and stress it priceless. On top of this the site only recommends properly regulated casinos completely removing the odds that my money would be unfairly stolen. On top of this the deals that I've been able to take advantage of have been delightful. As a result I believe that the site has earned a 4 star. I expect to see some big improvements in the future though.
I'm writing this review after having played on the site 10+ times. It has certainly been a struggle in some departments but great in others. Let's start with the bad points: The site's graphics and ui are subpar and feel really dated but are serviceable. On top of this I've had too many occasions where I see a casino bonus. Click. And find the bonus is invalid or doesn't exist. This is extremely frustrating especially when you just want to get to playing and occurs 2 or 3 times in a row. Once you get past these problems the site is jam packed with useful information and deals exclusive to the site. Making the site a great place to find new online casinos which is exactly what I'm looking for. Overall, 3. Site can easily be worthwhile, just needs some more time invested into auditing links and maybe updating the UI if possible.
Unlike many of the other reviews on this page, I'm a relatively experienced player and have played at more casinos than I can count. Although I generally have a select few sites that I enjoy playing on, experimenting and finding new ways to play helps generate more of a buzz. I've heard of this site many times in the past through forums, being described as an older site that prioritizes content over visuals. This hypothesis is correct. The site's visuals are laughable, to say the least, but those laughs will disappear quickly after a glance. The site has just about anything you could want in the bonus and information department with some impressive welcome offers that surprised me. Personally, the guides aren't too helpful but I can see how anyone less experienced would love the information adding another barrier to stop problem gamblers by ensuring they know the risks involved with playing. Playing through the site has been interesting though, I played a variety of games on many sites (that I have previous experience on) and was impressed by the integrity of the ratings the authors have when reviewing the casinos. I'm aware that this review is long so I will give a quick summary. The site has many great bonus offers that I was pleased to see. Information for new players and old on some important subjects everyone gambling should know about. On the whole awesome site if you can bear the subpar website design.
From my experience, so many sites just like this, seem to center all the attention on the games and the bells and whistles. While still doing this, the site also goes into great detail about what's going on in the greater gambling market serving as relevant news for all players. On top of this, there is a plethora of game guides that I've found myself getting lost reading a few too many times than I'd like to admit. I found one thing to be constant when using this site. You never go in blind or misinformed. And that is by far one of the most important factors for me when using casinos online (full transparency). I decided to compare the bonuses offered on this site with those of its competitors, and I'm not disappointed with my findings, which show that around 5 offers are beaten by other providers. I mean when you consider that the site has hundreds of offers across such a broad variety of categories it's understandable to have some sub-par contenders. Overall though, my experience has been ideal speeding up the process and allowing me to find games and play with full confidence. Going to be using the site for the foreseeable future.
I discovered the site recently through a friend and have been delighted with the site's offers so far. My favourite way to play would have to be slot machines. I enjoy kicking back and relaxing with some chill music and a couple cold ones. The site is very straightforward and to the point which makes my life so much easier. No unnecessary ads or other time wasting gimmicks just clear information allowing me to quickly get into the game and commence the excitement. On the downside though I've found the information supplied to the site to be lack-luster and behind on the times when compared to other South African alternatives. If a new player stumbles upon the site it could be a recipe for disaster as the site might point them in the wrong direction without providing a clear heads up on the crucial details. I hope the site looks to improve this aspect of the site in the future as currently it's a little disappointing. While it didn't effect me, I feel for new players and must assess the site with that in mind.
Using the site on my phone and to say the least I don't know if it's even fair to say that it runs. Feels more like it walks. Once you get past the what feels like hours of loading time the actual content on the site is great and well worth your time (most of the time). I enjoy betting on sports so I load up a couple of tabs and leave as fast as possible with my welcome bonus. From what I've seen the site's information is great but personally not worth my time due to the long waits needed for each page. I give the site a 3 as it's usable but by no means is it a pleasureable experience. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future but this problem has been around for a while so I don't have a great deal of faith in any change being made.
As mentioned in the title this website has some great information that has genuinely helped me on countless occasions. The content produced on the site is engaging and fun with many articles actually trying to make for a fun read rather than just shilling casino sites. The website suffers from a ton of clutter due to the amount of old content still on the site. Anywhere from old casino reviews to sports news making finding specific things a struggle for just about everyone. Thankfully the info's worth the extra search otherwise this place would certainly be in trouble.
Must have used the site a dozen times now and can say with a smile on my face that there is no reason not to be using this site. South African sites in this field seem to be more and more scummy with each passing day but unlike many of the site's competitors that have taken this path Playcasino.co.za has been a pillar supplying me with countless welcome bonuses that not only beat the market but also cover basically everything in igaming. Over the years I've been using the site and taking advantage of the great offers and have yet to be disappointed. Hope this keeps up but right now the site earns a 5 with my only real feedback being: Please update the UI of the site as new players will have a hard time navigating at times.
On holiday in South Africa and needed to kill some time waiting for my girlfriend so decided to do some research into local gambling sites when I stumbled upon the page. After a brief look through what the site had to offer, I was quickly impressed. Compared to other sites in the UK (where I'm from), the site has some deals that seem too good to be true. Thankfully not though, with all sites used feeling like a nice relaxing moment to catch my breath when travelling around this bustling country. The site's selection was lovely, allowing me to pick whatever I felt like on the day and get straight into the action. Unfortunately, as I don't live here, I only had a brief window to use the site, but all good things must come to an end, I guess. Would recommend the site to all South African players, no matter what game or how much you're willing to bet. Also, as some context, I ended up losing money while playing on the site before anyone asks.
Don't really have a favourite way to gamble kinda just do what sounds fun on the day and this site caters to the philosophy nicely. Gonna have another gambling session at the weekend making it the 5th time using the site and have had no trouble or hinderances from any casinos sites so far. From my experiences I gotta say that the site sticks to it's reviews telling you everything you need to expect (the good and the bad). Outside of the information and deals provided by the site the UI needs some work ASAP. Honestly it's so offputting it hurts sometimes especially when browsing at night. Once this gets fixed or updated I will change the rating but for now it will stay at 4.
