1. How does SlotsCalendar NZ work?
SlotsCalendar NZ works as an iGaming affiliate platform that provides online pokies in free-to-play format, lists casino brands, bonuses, and hosts social tournaments. There is just a part of what we are as a brand. SlotsCalendar NZ is a brand owned and operated by GSH Online Media, a company based in Romania.
Our brand provides specialised services for Kiwis looking to find valuable guidance on the latest pokie launches, casino bonus offers, and gambling brands. As a content-rich platform, we take pride in helping you find optimal solutions for your online gaming endeavours, all under the banner of responsible gambling.
2. Where do I find out when a new game becomes available?
You'll find out about new and upcoming games by consulting with the Calendar feature found on our main page. The Calendar provides a proper and chronological set-up of the games that you can play as a Kiwi, with the most recent and upcoming ones being part of the main titles that you'll see in that Calendar.
3. Where do I find pokie reviews?
You will find pokie reviews for select games listed on SlotsCalendar NZ. Depending on their availability in New Zealand, these pokies are in the tens of thousands. We create our reviews manually, which means that we have a limited number of pokies that we can review. If you're interested in a pokie and are looking for a specialised review, search the game via our filtration system or by name. Our expert team may have evaluated that pokie.
4. What pokies will be released today/this week/this month?
Searching for the specific day or timeframe within our Calendar feature will reveal the pokie launched within your desired time period. It's important to click on the day that belongs to that certain timeframe. You can check on this feature constantly to see these developments.
5. Will you notify me when a new pokie appears?
We may do so only if you're a subscriber to our newsletter. This service allows us to email you weekly information regarding upcoming or fresh pokie releases. They can serve as notifications and entry points into what is new on SlotsCalendarNZ.
6. Can I get notifications when a new game appears?
Yes, you can get notifications on new pokie launches as part of our newsletter service. We will duly send information.
7. How do I find all the bonuses for a specific pokie?
Each listed pokie entry will have a list of offers that allow you to play that pokie. Some promotions will require you to play that game as a condition, while others are general promotions that allow you to play any pokie from that casino's collection.
This means that the casino that offers the bonus also provides that pokie in real money format. Pairing your bonus benefits with that pokie is possible, but it is up to your decision-making.
8. How can I claim a casino bonus?
You can claim a casino bonus from SlotsCalendar NZ in various ways, but all of them boil down to checking their terms and conditions, the quality of the casino that provides them, and clicking the claiming button.
Please note that some offers require you to simply activate a bonus after we redirect you, while others require you to enter bonus codes. There are special cases, like those that require you to ask customer support to activate an exclusive bonus, and we will explain such instances if they apply.
9. How many bonuses can I redeem for the same pokie?
You can redeem quite a few bonuses, but the number actually depends on factors like the casino and the type of bonus that you choose. If you try to redeem pokie-specific bonuses from the same casino, you can redeem only one registration bonus without a deposit, only one welcome bonus, and, depending on the availability, a few other options for existing players.
If you repeat the cycle at other casinos, the number of bonuses increases, but you run the risk of being labelled a bonus hunter, which casinos frown upon.
10. Is there a limit on bonuses I can claim daily?
We place no limit on the number of bonuses that you can redeem on a daily basis. However, some bonus categories allow you to use them only once. As a result, some bonuses that you may be interested in may place direct limitations. Please check the terms and conditions of an offer before you redeem it.
11. How often do you update your bonuses?
We update our bonuses constantly. Our collection gains new entries every day, but we also try to trim it efficiently. It's also possible that you will find expired bonuses with the appropriate expiration tag.
We keep them for a simple reason: to provide you with a measuring stick for the bonuses provided by those specific brands.
Please note that some offers may have outdated information or bonus codes because we don't receive any notification from the operator if they happen to change that data. We humbly ask you to contact us in case you find any incorrect information, so we can rectify it!
12. Do I get a notification for bonus offers?
We will notify you about the most attractive bonus entries if you subscribe to our newsletter. Some of the promotions that we list on our website are exclusive promotions that you can have access to if you receive word about them via our newsletter!
13. Can I play a pokie for free and for fun?
Yes, you can play thousands of pokies for free. We list and provide them in demo format, together with technical details. Some of these pokies also have an accompanying, in-depth review that will tell you what to expect from your gaming experience.
Not all pokies have a demo mode provided by the provider. We provide the demo variant for the games that have it available.
14. Can I play pokies for real money?
Yes, you can play pokies for real money, but not on SlotsCalendar NZ. We charge no money whatsoever from our users and players. However, we curate and recommend casino brands and bonus options that allow you to play a specific pokie with real money. You'll find these options below the presentation of that pokie.
15. How can I play for fun?
You need to select a game, and then choose the option of playing it for fun. You just need to choose a pokie that we have a demo version of!
16. How can I play for real money?
If you want to play a specific game for real cash, you can do so by selecting one of the casinos that we've identified as having that pokie in its collection. Selecting a bonus is optional, but also beneficial.
Suppose you're on our website to find yourself an online casino to play at, browse, or filter our collection of online casinos that accept Kiwi players. Once again, joining by redeeming a bonus can be beneficial, but entirely optional!
17. What happens if I actually decide to subscribe?
Providing us with your email and subscribing to our newsletter will provide you with updates on exclusive or just fresh bonus opportunities, newly released pokies, and other exciting developments in the iGaming industry! It's the fastest way to gain an inside track!
18. What happens if I don't find a pokie on SlotsCalendar NZ?
If a pokie that you know about isn't part of our collection, it may be so because it isn't available to players located in New Zealand. This site is for Kiwis only, which means that you can legally access all gaming products and services listed. It may also be as simple as us not having gotten the opportunity to list it. We humbly encourage you to contact us about such a pokie so we can list it on our website!
19. What happens if I don't find a casino on SlotsCalendar NZ?
It may be that some casinos you find are not available to Kiwis from a legal standpoint. Some casinos may be blacklisted brands or disreputed options that would be more trouble and not worth it, which is why we wouldn't recommend them at all. If it's a case of a brand that has eluded our identification efforts, please refer to our Contact Us page and tell us about it!
20. Why do I need to provide my personal information? Are my personal details safe on SlotsCalendar NZ?
You simply need to provide us with your email for notification purposes. If we have any data about you, it may be for age verification purposes. We use the latest and most trustworthy encryption methods to keep your data safe within all reasonable standards. Please consult our Privacy Policy for more details.
21. Who is SlotsCalendar NZ, and where can I find more information about you?
SlotsCalendar NZ is a New Zealand-focused version of the SlotsCalendar brand, owned and operated by GSH Online Media. You can find out more details about us, the company, but also the brand by accessing the About Us section of our website.
22. Do I have to register an account to play your pokies?
You do not have to register to play our demo pokies, but you do need to have a registered and verified account to be able to access other services, such as redeeming casino bonuses. Please remember that none of these steps requires any money. All of our services are free of charge.
23. Do I need an account to play for fun?
No, we do not require you to log in or create an account in exchange for access to our free-to-play pokies! Find yourself a pokie that you like and get right to gameplay!
24. Which game producers do you use pokies from?
Our pokie collection is immense enough to have titles from tens of game producers. You'll find all of them in our Providers section of the SlotsCalendar NZ website. These providers are allowed to provide pokies to Kiwis, which applies to their demo versions as well. Picking a producer on that list means clicking on them and discovering their creations. Our website has pokies from both mainstream and niche producers of various reputations and acclaim!
25. What happens if my internet connection breaks or is interrupted?
If you experience a sudden interruption to your internet connection, the website will have to reload once your connection regains stability. In such a case, your progress within the demo play version will reset to the initial, default budget that the free-play version provides. Since there is no real money at stake, you lose nothing.
26. Where do I find guidance on how to play a pokie?
There are two main methods of finding guidance on a pokie: reading our review and consulting the paytable. Each pokie, including its demo version, will provide an informative section that settles symbol value, game rules, and explanations of its features.
If the pokie has a review created by one of our experts, it will provide you with that information as well, but filtered for a better understanding, not to mention more details and tellings of our experiences with that pokie!
27. Can I try unreleased pokies in free-to-play mode?
Yes, but it's not something that applies to all games. We try to list upcoming games before they actually release. In some cases, we receive exclusive information about them to create comprehensive pokie reviews. Such cases are when we also receive pre-release access to the demo version. If we have the producer's clearance, we will post the demo on our website, and you will be able to try these yet-unreleased pokies for yourself!
28. What casino bonuses are available on SlotsCalendar NZ?
The website section where we list our bonuses will provide you with the latest NZ-centric offers that we provide. There is a criterion in our filtration system that will allow you to see new offers only, which is where the freshest bonuses will await!
29. What are the wagering requirements for bonuses, and how do I complete them?
The wagering requirements, also known as the rollover, are a set of conditions that you need to complete if you want to unlock your bonus winnings and turn them into real cash. Once you complete a bonus, you'll have a set time period to play with those winnings. The total amount of won, lost, and wagered credits that you generate with the bonus money will contribute to the wagering process.
The wagering requirements come in the form of a multiplier (35x, for example), which applies to the sum that you've won by playing the bonus. The exact details of how to complete a specific set of wagering requirements will be specified in the terms and conditions of a bonus.
30. Can I claim any bonuses that I have available?
No, you can claim only bonuses that apply to your account status for the casino that provides them. For example, you can only play with a welcome or registration bonus if you don't have a player account. Once you have used these offers for new players, you can only access promotions for existing users.
This is specific to gameplay at a certain casino. We list offers from thousands of brands, which means that you can set up your sequence in such a way that allows you to play with as many bonuses as possible.
However, it's not theoretically possible to use a bonus under any circumstances, which is why it's so crucial to read the terms and conditions of an offer.
31. Why can't I use my deposit bonus?
There can be a number of issues that would interfere with your deposit bonus usage. Some relate to your account confirmation, others to the game that you want to play with the bonus amount. Please consult with the casino's terms and conditions before redeeming any offer from it so you can make sure to use it properly. If you feel like you've done things as required, contact the online casino's customer support for clarification and troubleshooting.
32. Where do I find information about using a casino bonus?
It's likely that the bonus will have a review created by one of our experts. Even if it doesn't, you'll find the key details of that bonus, such as its availability details, its wagering requirements, cashout, and bonus code. Pair this standard information with reading the promotion's terms and conditions and the general terms and conditions for complete information!
33. For what reasons can I be excluded from a promotion?
There can be many reasons in general, such as your failure to prove your legal gambling age (per New Zealand standards) or reasonable cause to suggest that you are part of a vulnerable/restricted group. Casinos may share databases, especially when part of the same group.
If you have a negative track record at one of them, you may face restrictions at others. Please consult the terms and conditions of any online casino that provides a promotion and always respect them!
34. Can I play all pokies with my casino bonus?
It depends on the bonus and the casino that issued it. Check the Terms and Conditions.
35. Do you track my bonus information at SlotsCalendar NZ?
No, we don't track any of your information, except for the cookies which we use to remember what games you've added to your favourites.
36. Can I safely use SlotsCalendar NZ?
Yes, you most definitely can. We have a top-of-the-line platform framework that provides the highest level of security in the industry. Naturally, your account security is your duty as well, such as your password creation and not falling for a fraud attempt. When it comes to encryption protocols, we provide a supremely secure environment.
37. What data does SlotsCalendar NZ collect?
We only collect your email address and cookies. The email is for the newsletter subscription, while the other is for the proper functioning of our website during your individual experience. Please consult our cookie policy for better clarification on the subject of cookies.
38. Which pokie producers does SlotsCalendar NZ work for?
We do not work for any game producer. However, we may have active partnerships with some of them. The only benefit they receive is priority positioning on our website. Any evaluation of their product is done with full authorial independence, as stipulated by our agreements with them. We review game collections and pokies from producers indiscriminately and with full transparency and objectivity.
39. Which devices and web browsers does SlotsCalendar NZ support?
As long as your browser is not an antiquated version that does not support certain web framework elements beyond a point, it will run SlotsCalendar NZ without issues. This applies to all the devices, operating systems, and browsers currently on the market.
Social Tournaments FAQs
1. How much am I allowed to play in your social tournaments?
You can play as long as you have credits. Even if you run out of them, we reset them daily, giving you leeway to play during the full extent of a social tournament hosted by SlotsCalendar NZ.
2. How do I receive a prize?
You receive your prize based on the content of that reward. Some rewards must be claimed and used on a partner casino's website, while others require an account on a platform such as Amazon. Qualifying for the award means placing high enough on the leaderboard and responding to our contact efforts and instructions!
3. How do you set up your tournament rankings?
The tournament ranking methodology depends on the mechanics of said tournament. Some depend on your multiplier, while others depend on your overall volume of executed spins. You'll learn how to climb the leaderboards from the tournament's terms and conditions.
4. When do you update your leaderboard?
We try to update them as often as we can, but the best estimation is that we update them every 15 minutes.
5. What happens if I use up all of my points?
If you use up all of your points/credits, we will top up your budget the following day. You will receive the same nominal sum as when you first joined the tournament.
6. What pokies qualify for social tournaments?
This detail depends on the tournament itself. Some tournaments are in collaboration with specific game providers, which means that you'll only be able to play pokies from that producer. Please consult the list of available pokies before joining a tournament.
7. How does SlotsCalendar NZ calculate the ranking system?
We calculate the ranking system based on the criterion that influences the tournament mechanics. Some are volumetric, which means that we calculate a total sum via addition (how many spins you made, how much you won, etc.). Others are based on a peak, such as the biggest registered multiplier. We explain these details in our introduction to social tournaments.
8. How does the overall tournament system work?
We set up a mechanic for the tournament, we settle the pokies that you can play, and then clarify the reward distribution based on the prize pool. Afterwards, we provide informative details to the prospective players. If you participate and win a prize via your leaderboard placement, we will contact you with some clear instructions.
