G'Day Casino:
Sign up bonus: Either a 100% matched first deposit bonus up to any amount, or a 150% match bonus bet up to $300, and a free slab of Toohey’s Lager if you’re first deposit is over $100.
G’day Casino is a dedicated online gambling site tailoring its gaming experience to suit Australian players – and it is also one of the few Internet casinos to host some of the most distinctive real money games online (also playable for free). It’s exclusive bonuses, promotions and range of popular and unique online casino titles are alluring and action-packed.
Welcome Bonus
There is a 100% match bonus available for new players at G’day Casino, with the unusual attraction of there being no upper limit to the match (minimum deposit $20, to be made within 7 days of registering for an account). This means, therefore, that no matter the size of your initial deposit, your bankroll is immediately doubled.
In addition, for all first deposits over $100, players receive a carton of 12x Victoria Bitter stubbies—an offer that applies to Kiwi players as well as Aussies. There is a further $10 no deposit bonus available as part of the Welcome Bonus as well. All wins using this bonus (up to $100) are transferred to your bonus account to continue plying with, once you make a first deposit (only available for play on pokies and bingo games).
The playthrough requirement at G’day Casino is 30x, which is in about the middle of the industry range. For pokies players, however, the good news is that pokies count 100% towards this; for regular players of other games the news is not so encouraging, as no other games make any contribution towards the wagering requirement.
Overall, this is a good introductory offer but one that is designed almost exclusively for pokies players. The fact of there being no limit to the size of the 100% match is novel and could be very appealing for those who favour a large bankroll, especially when combined with a reasonable 30x playthrough requirement.

Conclusion
The scope and variety of pokies on offer at G’day Casino is ultimately its main appeal for New Zealand players (if you can get past the overblown stereotypical Aussie images and language!). It’s good to have the opportunity to enjoy some new and innovative games from up-and-coming developers alongside a well-established name like NetEnt. The no match limit Welcome Bonus is a good innovation, particularly for high rollers and very regular players, while the ongoing promotions mean that you can get some real value for money here.
