This is a factual profile of a casino brand listed on this site. It contains no offers, no rating, and no link to any operator.
This casino is widely dated to 1996. It launched in 2017. That is the smaller of the two corrections here — the larger one concerns what its licences actually cover.
Who operates it, and when it started
The casino did not launch in 1996
| Claimed on this page | “since its creation in 1996” |
| Brand launched | 2017 — roughly 21 years later |
| Operating company founded | August 2011 — also well after 1996 |
| Operating company | L&L Europe Ltd, Mosta, Malta |
| Sister brands | All British Casino, CasinoCasino, Fun Casino, Hyper Casino, Pub Casino and Quickbet — all on the same licences |
| Recently closed sister brands | Yako Casino (September 2025), No Bonus Casino and Race Casino (June 2026) |
The 1996 date was wrong by roughly twenty-one years, and it predates the operating company itself by fifteen.
Longevity claims do real work on casino pages. “Trusted since 1996” and “launched 2017” invite very different levels of confidence, and only one of them is true here.
Worth noting alongside it: this group has closed three of its brands since September 2025 — Yako Casino, No Bonus Casino and Race Casino — to concentrate on the rest. That is normal portfolio management rather than a warning sign, but a group actively consolidating is worth knowing about before you open an account with one of the remaining brands.
The licences do not cover New Zealand
Everything about it points at Britain and Scandinavia
| What gets listed | What it indicates |
|---|---|
| All limits in pounds sterling | £10 minimum deposit, £30 for bank transfer, £20 minimum withdrawal, £5,000 daily card limit. Not a single New Zealand dollar figure in the banking section. |
| Boku UK, PayPal UK | Payment options with “UK” in the product name. They are not available here. |
| Euteller, Zimpler, Trustly | Finnish and Swedish banking rails, requiring a Nordic bank account. |
| Support in English, Norwegian and Swedish | The operator describes this brand as mainly active in the Scandinavian market. |
| A Maltese telephone number | A +356 number is a Malta line. From New Zealand it is an international call into a European timezone. |
It is the most useful thing on this page, and it applies to a great many operators beyond this one.
Yeti is usually said to “hold licenses from respected regulatory bodies” without any of them being named. The operator’s own footer names three, and — crucially — states who each is for. The UK licence is for customers who reside in Great Britain. The Swedish licence is for customers who reside in Sweden.
A licence is a contract between an operator and a regulator about a defined population of customers. It is not a quality badge that travels with the website.
A British resident on this site has affordability checks, a mandated safer-gambling toolkit, access to the national self-exclusion scheme, and a formal dispute process with a regulator that publishes its enforcement decisions. A New Zealander on the same site, playing the same games from the same lobby, has none of that.
When New Zealand’s own register opens from early 2027, licensed operators will display a unique registration icon, and the protections will finally be ours rather than someone else’s. Our New Zealand gambling laws guide sets out the timeline.
A British and Scandinavian product
The operator was ordered to cease operations in January 2024
The dormancy fee deserves emphasis because it is the kind of term that costs people money quietly.
An account left untouched for twelve months is charged monthly, deducted from whatever balance remains, until the balance reaches zero or you log in. Someone who deposits, wins a little, forgets about it and comes back two years later may find the balance reduced or gone.
It is disclosed, which is more than most operators manage. It reads as a routine note rather than as a term worth acting on.
Our casino deposit methods page covers which payment routes actually work from New Zealand.
Bonus terms
The welcome offer is described as “a 100% multiplication of your initial deposit,” and elsewhere as a NZ$333 bonus with 100 free spins on a NZ$10 deposit. Neither matches the terms currently published for this operator, and the two contradict each other.
Rather than substitute a figure that will also age, here is what to look for on any offer from this operator or another.
What the wagering multiplier applies to. Bonus only, or deposit and bonus. The difference roughly doubles the obligation.
The maximum bet during bonus play. Current terms for this brand report a low cap on bonus-funded bets. Exceeding it can void the bonus and any winnings.
Which games count. Current terms report that slots contribute in full while table games, video poker and live casino contribute nothing at all. If you prefer blackjack, a slots-only wagering requirement means the bonus is not for you.
Maximum withdrawal from bonus winnings. A cap on what you can take out of a bonus determines its real ceiling regardless of the headline.
Under the Online Casino Gambling Regulations 2026, a bonus from an operator licensed in New Zealand cannot exceed NZ$100, or 200% of the deposit or bet, whichever is lower. Our casino bonuses page explains the terms in full.
Games worth knowing about in the lobby
Table games get listed without distinction. Two points are worth making.
It lists American, European and French roulette side by side. Those carry materially different house edges. French roulette with the half-back rule on even-money bets is among the best value in any casino; American roulette carries roughly double the cost of European because of the extra pocket. Same wheel graphic, very different price.
It also lists Atlantic City Blackjack, which returns around 99.5% with correct strategy — among the lowest-cost games available anywhere. That went unremarked.
Our rules of blackjack page covers how much table rules matter, and our live casino page covers the figures for live tables.
What to check for yourself
The operating company and licence numbers in the footer — and the qualifying phrase after each one naming who it covers. The dormancy terms, if you are likely to leave a balance. The currency of the stated deposit and withdrawal limits. And the domain itself: independent reporting notes lookalike addresses using variations on this brand’s name that are not affiliated with it.
Our casino reviews page sets out the full checklist.
What you can still do
Public review platforms carry accounts from players alleging that balances or withdrawals remained outstanding around the wind-down, some referring to this brand specifically. Those are individual allegations rather than audited records, and they cannot establish how many people were affected or whether particular claims were later resolved. They do explain why someone might still be looking for help years afterwards.
This page is published for information. It is not financial, legal or gambling advice, and nothing on it is a recommendation to gamble or an endorsement of any operator.
You must be 18 or older to gamble online in New Zealand.
No link on this page goes to an operator’s cashier, and none will. Reach any casino by typing the address yourself.
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
When did Yeti Casino actually launch?
2017. The widely repeated 1996 predates both the brand and its operating company — L&L Europe Ltd was founded in August 2011.
Who operates it?
L&L Europe Ltd, based in Mosta, Malta. Sister brands on the same licences include All British Casino, CasinoCasino, Fun Casino, Hyper Casino, Pub Casino and Quickbet.
Is it licensed for New Zealand?
No. It holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence, a UK Gambling Commission licence stated as being for customers resident in Great Britain, and a Swedish licence stated as being for customers resident in Sweden. None covers New Zealand.
Does a UK licence protect me as a New Zealander?
No. The licence names who it covers. A British resident gets affordability checks, the mandated safer-gambling toolkit, the national self-exclusion scheme and a formal dispute route. A New Zealander on the same site gets none of those.
What is the dormancy fee?
An account untouched for twelve months is treated as dormant and charged a monthly fee deducted from the balance, until the balance reaches zero or you log in again.
Can I use the payment methods listed?
Mostly not. Boku UK and PayPal UK are British products; Euteller, Zimpler and Trustly are Nordic banking rails. All the stated limits were in pounds sterling.
Have any of this group’s casinos closed?
Yes. Yako Casino closed in September 2025, and No Bonus Casino and Race Casino both closed in June 2026, with the operator stating it wanted to focus on its remaining brands.
Where can I get help if gambling is causing problems?
The Gambling Helpline is free and available 24 hours a day on 0800 654 655, or by free text to 8006. PGF Services offers free counselling on 0800 664 262. Support is also available to whānau and friends.
