Trading since 2014, Curaçao licensed, crypto-friendly, with a large lobby and a €4,000 per-transaction cap on fiat withdrawals.

It is also run by the same company as another casino reviewed separately on this site — and the licence claim is the first thing worth checking.

The licence, and how to check it

Check it at the source

“Curacao Government” is rarely a link to any government

Summary tables for this casino routinely carry a row headed Licence, with the value “Curacao Government”, linked. Those links very often do not go to any government.
They land on commercial firms that sell help obtaining gambling licences, and they arrive carrying a full set of advertising tracking parameters — a paid-search marker, the campaign it belonged to, the keyword “curacao egaming”, and a unique click identifier.
What that sequence tells you
Somebody searched for the licensing authority, clicked the paid advertisement above the real result, and pasted the address straight out of the browser bar — tracking codes and all — as the source for a casino’s licence.
The click identifier belongs to one person’s one click, and it stays published on a live page indefinitely.
Where the licence should actually be checked
Curaçao replaced its old master-licence arrangement in January 2025. Operators now hold licences directly from the Curaçao Gaming Authority, each with a number that can be looked up on the regulator’s own register.
A licence claim without a number is not a licence claim. Look for the number in the site footer and check it at the source.
Why this matters. Licensing is the single claim a casino review exists to verify. Where that verification amounts to clicking the first advertisement on a results page, every other figure alongside it deserves the same scepticism.

7Bit Casino’s footer, captured September 2026: the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) seal, the 18+ mark and the licence reference OGL/2024/1307/0748 — the number to check against the CGA register. An overseas licence is not a New Zealand authorisation: until the Department of Internal Affairs publishes its register from early 2027, no operator can be described as licensed for online casino gambling in New Zealand. 18+.

Who actually runs it

The operator, in proportion

One company, a great many casinos

The description you will usually see
A “reputable” operator, “renowned for their success with brands like Axecasino and SlotVibe Casino” — two of the smaller names in the group, with no verifiable measure attached to any of it.
The fact worth knowing
The same company operates BitStarz, which is reviewed separately on this site as though it were an unrelated casino. It runs dozens of others besides.
That explains why the two share a €4,000 per-transaction cap on fiat withdrawals, a similar cashier and a similar Curaçao licence structure. They are two front ends on one operation.
What that means for you
A dispute handled poorly at one is likely to be handled the same way at the other. Switching between casinos in one group changes the branding, not the terms, the payment processing or the support queue.
It also means bonus terms limiting you to one offer “per group” may cover far more sites than you realise — including ones that look like competitors.
How to check for yourself. The operating company is named in the site footer alongside its licence number. Searching that company name rather than the casino name will show you which other sites it runs — and any complaint pattern that follows the operator rather than the brand.
7Bit Casino terms and conditions naming ScoresS5 Tech B.V. of Willemstad, Curaçao as the operating company
Section 1 of 7Bit Casino’s terms: the site is operated by ScoresS5 Tech B.V., registered under No. 162990 in Willemstad, Curaçao, under licence OGL/2024/1307/0748. An overseas licence is not a New Zealand authorisation: until the Department of Internal Affairs publishes its register from early 2027, no operator can be described as licensed for online casino gambling in New Zealand. 18+.

The bonus, the apps and the country list

Three things to check yourself

No wagering figure, apps that do not exist, and no mention of New Zealand

1. A four-deposit welcome package with no wagering figure attached
The offer runs across four deposits, with a no-deposit offer of thirty spins, weekly reloads and a ten-tier loyalty scheme. The claiming instructions run to five steps, of which step four is simply “meet wagering requirements”.
No multiple is published alongside it. Nor a maximum bet while wagering, nor an expiry window, nor a cap on what a no-deposit offer can pay out. Those four terms decide whether any bonus is worth taking. Get them from the operator’s own terms before depositing.
2. The apps almost certainly do not exist
Dedicated apps for Windows, Android and iOS are advertised. Casinos on this platform are browser-based, and the mobile app stores do not carry real-money gambling apps for New Zealand.
Use the mobile browser. If a site offers you a file to install instead, that is a reason to stop rather than proceed — installing one means switching off your phone’s protection against unvetted software, on a device you also bank with.
3. Finland is excluded. New Zealand is not mentioned.
Finland is named as an excluded country. New Zealand’s position is not addressed at all. The no-deposit offer is likewise described as available “for select regions”, without naming any of them.
Country restrictions and promotion eligibility are both worth checking before you register, not after. The payment list also carries rails that only work from Canada and from Sweden, which tells you who this lobby was really built for.
Two figures are published, and both are useful. A minimum deposit of around €/$10, and a maximum withdrawal of about €/$4,000 per transaction. That second one is the term that decides how a real win reaches you — in instalments, not at once.

7Bit Casino’s bonus page: the ‘Slots Eligible for Welcome Bonus Wagering’ list sits above the payment methods and award badges — the eligible-games list decides how quickly wagering can be cleared. Shown for information only, not as an offer: no operator is yet licensed for online casino gambling in New Zealand under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026, and a licensed operator’s bonus will be capped at NZ$100 or 200% of the deposit, whichever is lower. 18+.

Banking

7Bit Casino payments page listing Interac, MiFinity, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Neosurf and Litecoin with fees and NZD limits
7Bit Casino’s payments page with the deposit tab open: card, e-wallet and crypto methods listed with fees, processing times and per-transaction limits in NZD. For information only. Payment methods, fees and limits change, and no online casino is currently licensed in New Zealand — check the operator’s own terms and the DIA register before acting. 18+.

Minimum deposit around €/$10. Minimum withdrawal around €/$20. Maximum withdrawal €/$4,000 per transaction — the figure that matters most.

Crypto and e-wallet payouts typically complete within 24 hours; cards and bank transfers take three to five days. Withdrawals return to the method you deposited with.

Note the currencies. Everything is quoted in euros or US dollars. New Zealand dollars are not mentioned anywhere, which means conversion at both ends if NZD is not supported — commonly up to 3.99% through an e-wallet, applied twice.

And two of the listed payment methods do not work from New Zealand. Interac requires a Canadian bank account and Canadian dollars. Zimpler is a Swedish service. Both appear in the cashier’s payment list.

On cryptocurrency specifically: Inland Revenue treats cryptoassets as property rather than currency, so disposing of them can be a taxable event separate from any question about gambling winnings. And sending on a network that doesn’t match the receiving address is the most common way people lose crypto permanently — there is no reversal.

The games

The pokies lobby at 7Bit Casino: a grid of slot titles with the provider named under each tile. For information only. Offshore operators may serve New Zealanders only under the transitional arrangements of the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 (to 1 December 2026, and after that only licence applicants); none is NZ-licensed. 18+.

Around 7,000 titles across slots, table games, crash games and live dealer, from studios including Belatra, Betsoft, Evolution and Pragmatic Play. That is a genuinely large lobby, and the provider list is credible for a platform of this type.

Mega Moolah appears twice as a headline title and its base-game return is 88.12% — well below the roughly 96% typical of a modern pokie, because around 5.3% of every wager funds the jackpot pools. Our online pokies guide explains the trade-off.

Support

7Bit Casino’s support page: a message form, the support email address and a four-question FAQ. For information only. CasinoChecking.nz does not endorse or link to any operator, and no online casino is currently licensed in New Zealand. 18+.

Support runs 24/7 by live chat and by email. There is no phone line.

Email is the slower of the two and the one to use when you want a written record — of a withdrawal request, or of anything support has told you.

Where New Zealand’s rules are going

No online casino currently holds a New Zealand licence.

Licences are being allocated by competitive auction running July to October 2026, with a reported fifteen available. From 1 December 2026, operators that have not applied must stop serving New Zealanders. Licensed operators are expected from early 2027, with a public Department of Internal Affairs register — which will replace guesswork about country restrictions with a list you can check.

If you hold a balance here, withdraw it well before December. With a €4,000 per-transaction cap, a large balance takes several transactions. Our New Zealand gambling laws guide sets out the timeline.
