Launched 2017, Curaçao licensed, operated by Faro Entertainment N.V. through a Maltese subsidiary. A large lobby with a genuinely broad live casino, a headline welcome package worth up to $2,250, and a complaint pattern around withdrawal speed that reviewers disagree about.

Reputation
Reviewers disagree about this one, and the split is informative
How many games?
Published counts for this lobby contradict each other.
Figures in circulation run from “over 1,500 titles” to “over 4,000 games” — and both appear in the operator’s own material, in different places.
Take either figure with caution. Lobby counts include variants and rotate constantly, and a range that wide is not worth trusting at either end.
What is verifiable and more useful: the live casino runs on Playtech, Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live. Three live providers is genuinely unusual — most casinos carry one or two. If live dealer play is your reason for choosing a casino, that is a real point in its favour.
Banking
Around 40 deposit methods are supported, including cards, Skrill, Neteller, PayPal, MuchBetter, AstroPay, MiFinity and a long list of cryptocurrencies.
Minimum deposit around $15. Minimum withdrawal around $30. Processing stated at up to 24 hours, though reviewers report a review period running to 24–72 hours and, in some accounts, considerably longer.
Withdrawal ceilings matter more than the minimum, and they are the figures least likely to be advertised. Reported limits sit at around €5,000 weekly and €15,000 monthly, with method-specific caps varying widely and larger wins paid in instalments.
Our casino deposit methods page covers which routes work from New Zealand, and our fast payout casinos page explains where withdrawal delays actually originate.
How much to trust it
Three things are worth stating plainly before you weigh the bonus.
This is not a New Zealand or EU regulated casino. The licence is Curaçao’s, and Curaçao is the regulator you would be complaining to.
The bonus arithmetic is clean — $225 + $450 + $750 + $825 does total the advertised $2,250.
Curaçao oversight is materially lighter than MGA or UKGC oversight. That is not a reason to rule the casino out, but it decides how much weight the word “licensed” can carry here.
Set against the alternatives, that puts Mr Bet below any MGA or UKGC brand on recourse, and above the operators holding no licence you can look up at all.
A Curaçao licence is not evidence of thorough scrutiny. Read any claim that it is as marketing rather than verification.
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 and a bonus cap of NZ$100 or 200% of the deposit.
If you hold a balance here, withdraw it well before December. With weekly and monthly ceilings and larger wins paid in instalments, a substantial balance takes time to clear.
The Malta Gaming Authority is the usual benchmark for a recognised regulator. From 2027 the relevant register for a New Zealander will be the Department of Internal Affairs one. Our New Zealand gambling laws guide sets out the timeline.

Player accounts described here are individual reports rather than findings. Licensing, ownership, bonus terms, withdrawal limits and country availability all change, sometimes within weeks, and this page covers a period in which the New Zealand market is being restructured. Confirm the current position in the operator’s own terms and on the regulator’s own register before acting on anything here.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the wagering requirement on the welcome bonus?
Reported at 45× on the first deposit and 40× on the later parts. The figure is not stated prominently, so confirm it in the bonus terms before opting in.
Is there a cap on bonus winnings?
Yes. Reporting describes bonus-derived withdrawals capped at 200% of the bonus amount. On the first deposit that is roughly $450 from a $225 bonus, after around $10,000 of turnover.
Is there a withdrawal limit?
Reported at around €5,000 per week and €15,000 per month, with method-specific ceilings and larger wins paid in instalments.
Who operates Mr.Bet?
Faro Entertainment N.V., registered in Curaçao, managing the site through Faro Entertainment Europe Limited in Malta. The Maltese subsidiary is why the support line is a +356 number.
Does it hold a Malta licence?
No. The Maltese company is a subsidiary; the gaming licence is Curaçao’s, reported as OGL/2024/194/0642 under the current authority.
How many games are there?
Figures in circulation run from “over 1,500” to “over 4,000”. Treat lobby counts with caution. The live casino running Playtech, Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live is the more verifiable strength.
Is it trustworthy?
