About us
25 Years of Excellence in Online Gaming
Royal Vegas Casino was founded in 2000 — one of the very first online casinos to launch on the Microgaming platform. At a time when the internet was still finding its footing, we made a bold bet: that online gaming could offer a premium, trustworthy experience rivalling any land-based casino.
That bet paid off. Over the following two decades, Royal Vegas grew from a single-game casino into one of the world’s most recognised online gaming destinations — serving millions of players across dozens of countries, including a loyal and growing community of New Zealand players who’ve made us their home casino.
Today, we operate under a Malta Gaming Authority licence — among the most stringent in the industry — and maintain our founding commitment: to provide every player with a safe, fair, and genuinely entertaining casino experience.
Why NZ Players Choose Us

Built for NZ Players

Is Royal Vegas Legit in New Zealand?
Absolutely. Royal Vegas holds an active Malta Gaming Authority licence — universally regarded as one of the most rigorous gambling licences in the world. The MGA requires casinos to meet strict standards around player fund protection, responsible gambling, anti-money laundering, and fair play.
For New Zealand players specifically: online gambling is legal under the NZ Gambling Act 2003. The law restricts operators from being based in New Zealand — not players from participating at offshore-licensed casinos like Royal Vegas.
Player funds held in segregated accounts — separate from company operating funds at all times
All RNGs independently tested by eCOGRA — published RTPs reflect real, verified return-to-player rates
25+ year payout history with zero unresolved legitimate withdrawal disputes on record
Dispute resolution via eCOGRA and the MGA — independent bodies with real enforcement power
The Casino Rewards Group
Royal Vegas is a proud member of Casino Rewards — the world’s largest online casino loyalty network, connecting over 30 premium casinos and millions of players globally.

Our Commitment to New Zealand
New Zealand has been one of our most loyal player communities since the early 2000s. Kiwi players were among the first to embrace online gaming — and we’ve always taken that relationship seriously.
That means NZD as a native currency from day one. It means bonuses sized appropriately for NZ players. It means customer service that knows the NZ context. And it means we’ll never stop investing in the experience we offer this community.
We will never mislead you about bonus terms, wagering requirements, or withdrawal conditions
We will process every legitimate withdrawal in full, on time, every time
We will proactively reach out to players showing signs of problem gambling, not wait to be asked
We will honour every self-exclusion request immediately and without question
