G’Day Casino Review: The Truth Beneath the Surface

Over the past two years, G’Day Casino has received no comments from top review forums and no feedback from Trustpilot. That’s a positive indicator because they’re probably doing their job if they’re not taking flack.

What Are Players Saying About G’Day Casino?

Overall, the comments were average as online casinos go – good and bad. The following are comments from two to four years ago:

Relaxing Play with Micro-Bet Options

“Heavy providers means I can relax without feeling cornered by what game should I try to play. When under 5 bucks, just a bit of room when your low funds choosing games that let you micro bet … it’s a really decent place to go for the online slotter.”

– Tyrus Zaback, WoO

Good Games and Bonus

“A good selection of games to play, with most of my personal favourites available. Also a nice welcome bonus with fair and achievable wagering requirements. Randomly stuck a playing limit on my account immediately after I deposited £80, they allowed me to lose around £30 and put my account on hold for 28days. Unable to withdraw my money and account locked.”

– Kerser, AskGamblers

G’Day Casino promotions are few but generally fair. They have a Welcome bonus, a weekly bonus, and a loyalty points program.

The bonuses are smaller than at most online casinos, and the game restrictions are onerous, but they carry achievable playthrough requirements. I did not find any prize contests at the site.

Playing with bonuses, you can withdraw from your cash balance before completing your playthrough requirement, but your bonus balance will be removed. Other casinos prohibit any withdrawal until the rollover is completed.

The games you can play toward your rollover are arranged differently, too. While many pokies wagers offer 100% credit toward the playthrough, G’Day has a list of more than 400 games – including some slots – that offer just 20% credit or none.

Keno and scratch cards also give 100% on playthrough wagers, but all other games count nothing for a bonus.

The Loyalty Points program is set up much like other casinos, but they only yield cash bonuses with playthroughs. You get from .25 to 2 points for each £10 you wager. Slots and scratch cards offer 2 points, video poker 1,  blackjack .5, and roulette .25.

Every 1,000 points you earn can be converted into a £5 bonus that carries the same 35x rollover rate as other bonuses.

My Recommended Bonuses

G’Day Casino doesn’t have an extended list of casino bonuses, but among the options, the ones I would recommend are the Welcome and Weekly bonuses. Here’s why:

Welcome Bonus – 100% Match for up to £100 + 100 Spins

This bonus carries a 35 times playthrough requirement on the bonus amount and 30 days to clear it. So, if you take the full £100 bonus, you would have to wager £3,500 on slots in a month, which is an achievable goal.

You can deposit as little as £20, which would be even easier to make.

Here are the catches: You can wager no more than £5 a spin, and you may not get full credit for your wager if you play any of more than 400 games they list. The free spins are for specific games, and the winnings are capped at £50.

This bonus is good if you stick to a few 100% pokies and pound away.

Weekly Bonus – 30% Match up to £100

This bonus was labeled Sensational Sundays when I visited, which means that you can use it only on that day. But G’Day likely has similar bonuses on different days.

This one has the same 35x rollover and 30-day limit, but you can deposit as little as £10 to get in. Thus, you can cruise through this one without a hassle.

Other Bonuses I Reviewed

In addition to the bonuses, G’Day Casino offers other promotions like the VIP program, where loyal, verified players are invited to enjoy perks such as personal account management and up to 20% cashback.

There’s also a Loyalty Points Program, where players earn points while gaming, which can be redeemed for bonus money. I’ve seen similar programs on other gambling sites, but G’Day’s system is easy to use and rewarding for regular players.

G’Day Casino games offer a number and variety that surpasses most online casinos. Their library of more than 1,000 games stands out in the variety of pokies and live dealer games, and their specialty games include 38 Slingo variations.

You can search by title or by game provider, which helps sift through the collection. G’Day games come from game suppliers dominated by top names, so games are constantly added, replaced, and updated.

Because I wasn’t able to play any games at this casino, I can’t select my top games to recommend. Nevertheless, I found two of my all-time favorites: Back Blackjack and Slingo Hot Roll, which are wonderfully fun games that incorporate dice with the standard games.

Being licensed by the UK Gambling Commission ensures that all games are fair. I also sought out free versions of G’Day games, so I could try them out if not at G’Day.

Software Providers

There are 128 contributors to the G’Day gaming library, more than I’ve seen on a site. Some provider names I didn’t know, but others are popular with most players. The top names include Microgaming, Netent, Pragmatic Play, and Spinomenal.

I also noted the absence of other renowned game makers like RealTime, Rival, and Betsoft because they make some of my favorite slots.

Pokies

Pokies are the backbone of any online casino, and G’Day puts special emphasis on them because folks Down Under love their pokies.

G’Day has stacked their library of more than 900 titles with a wide variety of displays and themes. I wasn’t familiar with some of the software providers, so I checked out three, 4ThePlayer, AGS, and Thunderkick provider websites.

They were game makers that were new to me but well-represented at G’Day. I played some of the games and found them fun enough to be popular, rated highly, and with RTP range of 90% to 97%.

I ran into G’Day pokies that had all types of reel and payline configurations, but I could not confirm any bet ranges.

The themes are typical – history, mythology, nature, adventure, and jokers, lots of jokers. You can search by title or provider; otherwise, plan to scroll a lot to find a favorite.

Pokies are big games for bonus players because they credit a full 100% toward a playthrough. Keep in mind, however, many online slots that don’t credit rollovers at all, so you’ll have to look for that information.

Blackjack

G’Day has a good opinion of this American favorite with 25 blackjack games and variations of all sorts. You can play a standard game with options for insurance, and G’Day offers 10 versions that offer side bets and extra payouts for hitting particular card combinations.

There are single- and multi-hand options and single- and multi-deck games.

I found one of my favorite games, Back Blackjack that offers multiple hands and side bets activated when someone – even the dealer – gets blackjack. The side bet winnings are then increased according to a series of dice rolls.

The site did not have Blackjack Switch, another variation I like to play. But it did have a similar game called Blackjack Xchange that allows you to buy different cards at costs according to the card’s value.

Overall, the G’Day Casino blackjack collection has more variety, if not numbers, than at most online casinos. But, like other table games, blackjack wagers do not count toward bonus rollovers.

Roulette

The casino has a Roulette category that mixes in live dealer games, which makes it awkward to sift through. But there are seven versions of this casino classic on the digital side.

The options include single- and double-zero games with European variations that offer extra number combinations for wagering. I did not see any games that offered multipliers, but I did find Double Ball Roulette that doubles your chances of hitting a number.

Most online casinos include multiplier roulettes in their collections, so G’Day is lacking in that area.

Traditional players like me will find the lineup adequate. Roulette is another table game that doesn’t credit a bonus playthrough.

Other Table Games

The remaining G’Day Casino table games are few but contain good variety. You’ll find craps, baccarat, three-card poker, casino hold ’em, and war.

There is even a casino solitaire game which you won’t find at most sites. That covers a lot of ground, but the collection is notably missing Caribbean and Pai Gow, popular games at many online casinos.

The G’Day table games choices a fewer than most sites, but they are adequate for people who like classics such as craps and baccarat. Table games won’t help you clear a bonus playthrough.

Video Poker

G’Day Casino is a virtual wasteland for lovers of these high-return games.

They don’t have a category for video poker because they only have three – Jacks or Better, Aces & Eights, and All Aces. I dug them up with a title search. They’re all fun, for sure. But the absence of Deuces Wild or any other wild card games is a slight to VP players.

Jacks or Better is usually a go-to game for me, but most video poker games have strategies with RTPs of better than 99% if the paytables are right.

That kind of return is probably why video poker doesn’t credit you on bonus rollovers.

Casual Games – Specialty Games

There is a Fun & Scratch category in the G’Day menu that has 58 games, including bingo and keno, as well as scratch cards.

I noticed a lot of tap games that involve speed tapping to increase payoffs. That is probably the only type of game that requires a modicum of skill. There are also crash games and Plinko games.

Slingo is a game that I consider a specialty game, but G’Day has a whole category for these games. That’s because there are 38 versions of Slingo at the site.

I have played one of the G’Day versions, Slingo Hot Roll, at another site and found it to be great fun. It uses a slots wheel to help fill in a bingo card and allows you to buy other spots on the card. When you fill-up a card, you move to a dice-roll level that expands winnings.

The variety of specialty games here is on par with many online casinos that like them for the high house edge. That’s why most of these games credit bonus players 100% on wagers toward playthroughs.

Live Dealer Games

The collection of live dealer games is one of the strengths of G’Day Casino. There are 79 of them, which makes this section as abundant as a land-based casino. And they go beyond the standard blackjack, roulette, and baccarat choices.

You can pick numbers on a big wheel, guess where a player will kick a football, or take part in G’Day’s own episode of Deal or No Deal. There is even a live craps game with machine-tossed dice.

Most of these games are produced by Pragmatic Play a live provider I have played at other sites. The streams are usually reliable but definitely dependent on your connection. Using a mobile device can get dicey.

The studio settings, of course, depend on games. Still, you’ll find full-fledged productions with energetic hosts in games like Crazy Time and Travel Fever.

Bet ranges are higher with live dealer games and dealers are generally professional, but they shuffle too frequently for card counting.

Instructions and interfaces make most games easy to play. Don’t look for any credit toward a bonus rollover.

G’Day Casino offers banking choices typical of UK-regulated online casinos, according to information I could find at the site and from support.

The methods listed below may depend on the country you are from. You will need to verify your ID and address before you deposit and verify again if you use a different method to withdraw.

This is cumbersome but necessary under the strict legal guidelines of the Gambling Commission.

G’Day Deposit Options 

G’Day lists six deposit options, including cards, e-wallets, and bank transfers. Visa and MasterCard are likely for debit cards, but I could not find that detail at the site.

The FAQ notes that the limits are “dependent on you and the offer you are depositing for or the deposit limit set on your account.”

The minimum deposit on a bonus I checked was £10. The casino does not charge fees, but your supporting bank may. Deposit speeds also depend on your institution.

DEPOSIT METHOD	MIN DEPOSIT	MAX DEPOSIT	SPEED	FEES
	£10	Unlimited	Varies	None
	£10	Unlimited	Varies	None
	£10	Unlimited	Varies	None
	£10	Unlimited	Varies	None
	£10	Unlimited	Varies	None
	£10	Unlimited	Varies	None

G’Day CASINO Withdrawal Options

The G’Day withdrawal options are the same as for deposits, and it is important to use the same withdrawal method you used for deposit to keep from having to verify your ID again.

There is a two-day pending period after the request and up to three more days for processing before the money hits your account.

The casino promises no fees, but your method’s supporting bank may assess a fee.

PAYOUT METHOD	MIN WITHDRAWAL	MAX WITHDRAWAL	SPEED	FEES
	£10	£5,000	5 Business Days	None
	£10	£5,000	5 Business Days	None
	£10	£5,000	5 Business Days	None
	£10	£5,000	5 Business Days	None
	£10	£5,000	5 Business Days	None

G’Day Casino denied me access to the guts of the site, and the chat support people refused to answer my questions. Email was more cooperative.

You can click “How can we help?” and get to a Help & Support page with basic information. From there, you can click into a Help Centre with six FAQ categories that cover the basics. Here is G’Day’s support lineup:

Here’s How I Tested

Like some online casinos, G’Day chat support does not cooperate with shoppers. They want you to provide pertinent personal information before they answer questions.

I tried Chat for banking information and got nowhere. Email delivered pretty much as the 24-hour response time guaranteed.

Here’s how it all went:

While I did not play games, I noticed that getting around the site was slow and choppy.

Scrolling and searching stalled and delayed too often. I went to other sites simultaneously and found the going much easier, so it wasn’t my connection.

The title and provider search modes were somewhat helpful, but since I could not deposit and play their games on-site, my whole experience was no fun.
