InstantPay Casino offers online players in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and elsewhere a robust gambling experience.

The site was launched in 2020 with a Malta Gaming Authority license, a dozen language options, a solid bonus program (except Sweden), and a live dealer suite to complement nearly 2,000 slots by over two dozen top providers.

NetEnt leads the offering with Betsoft, Play'n GO, Playtech, and Ash Gaming rounding out the bigger libraries.

The site is operated by N1 Interactive Ltd of Malta [MGA/B2C/394/2017 (issued 01/08/2018)] and operates on the SoftSwiss platform.

Sister sites include Das Ist, Maneki, Universe, King Billy, and the signature N1 among many others. All told the operators handle the management of about 30 online betting sites including game curation, payment processing, bonuses, and customer service.

Operator history

While they have not been in operation for decades, there is enough history between all of them to hazard a guess as to what the future holds for any of their sites. In the case of white labels, any property's historic reputation is as indicative of future performance as another - especially when the group is taken as a whole.

While we have not delved into the intricate details of every single dispute. We have found the following expected grumbles:

• Unable to get free chips from live chat
• Document verification 'delays'
• Not winning enough
• Max bet limits
• Bonus max bet limits
• Wanting to be paid after multiple signups on the same device, IP, cards, etc.

With operations spanning the years 2017 to the present and more than two dozen virtual lobby doors for players to walk through, we find the severity of complaints to be negligible as well as the frequency.

One that was either a serious breach by the player using a bot or computer-assisted card counter - or - the operation wrongly applying a 'spirit of the bonus' rule for the accepted practice of counting cards in your head - was not settled in public and neither the operator nor the player followed up in the public domain.

One other was found after several hours of focused effort by an experienced researcher. The player from LATAM posted one complaint about document verification a month ago and never followed up. There's no reason to believe they were owed the money and did not collect the four-figure sum.

Once documents are received and verified, or the complainant has been proven to be committing fraud or another serious breach of terms, all other disputes have been solved.

As for minor disputes that are settled publically, we find the representatives to be cordial, concise, and prompt in their communications. All told, this site presents itself as well-worthy of review.

Software and Games

Running on the SoftSwiss platform lets the operator choose from up to 10,000 games from the world's top 70 developers and providers.

They've chosen a nice package of more game titles than most people would ever play. Upon launch, we count a little over 1700 slots as well as a good library of RNG table and card games and a live dealer suite powered by Evolution Gaming.

Launching in September of 2020 means that the site operates on the future-proof HTML5 framework. The live streams, slots, and all other games are played in your native web browser, no matter what sort of device or operating system it's hosted on.

Android, iPhone, and iPads all execute the games just like those delivered on a laptop or desktop - be it Mac, Windows, Linux, or one with anything else under the hood.

The mobile and big screen interfaces are virtually identical with only slight variations to account for screen real estate and user comfort. Graphic icons may appear on the full-screen version while they are hidden under a menu in the mobile lobby.

Navigation is aided by a well-categorized layout, and users can filter further by several methods such as choosing to see only games from a specific provider.

Forgotten how to spell Esqueleto Explosivo but recall it was released by Thunderkick? It's easy enough to find the game and enjoy the surprise if you didn't know there was a sequel to the game.

Also, rather than simply having a category for live games and one other for traditional casino games, you'll find separate sections for roulette and card games as well as for jackpot games, slots, "and feature-buy" slots.

Quick bonus note: Don't try to buy a feature on one of the bonus buy slots if the total cost to spin will be more than the max bet limit on your bonus. i.e. if the max bet is 5.00 and the cost to trigger free spins on a 1.00 bet is 100.00 you will be 20x over the bet limit

Jackpot games

While this section is not dedicated exclusively to progressive jackpot slots, you will find them listed here. Look for the jackpot amount emblazoned across the bottom of the game icons for progressive titles.

Along with Bounty of the Beanstalk - Ash Gaming; 5 Lions Gold and Caishen's Cash - Pragmatic Play, other games found in this section include Caishen's Gold, Dragon Chase, Gladiator Road to Rome and Gladiator Jackpot, Grease, and Frankie Dettori Sporting Legends among many more.

Speaking of Playtech...

Playtech was slow to come around to the fact that the day of the single software platform online casino is as good as gone. Sure, there are still plenty of great Playtech-only sites out there, but Microgaming pretty much left their number one competitor (in those days) in the dust when they read the tea leaves or created the future with the Quickfire aggregator platform.

Welcome to 2020 and beyond!

If you always wanted to play PT classics but just couldn't bring yourself to deal with some of the draconian policies of Playtech proper operations, you now have the options to play truly great games side by side with thousands of others at the online operation of your own choosing.

Progress comes slowly sometimes, but come it will, and come it does.

Along with the Playtech game liberation came the freeing up of their Ash Gaming subsidiary's progressive jackpot slots, making the win/win even sweeter for players and operators who know what their players want.

Quick jackpot note: Be sure to check the pay tables and rules on the Betsoft progressive games to be sure your bet qualifies for the prize if a symbol driven jackpot combination appears on the reels.

RNG table games

Roulette, blackjack, video poker, baccarat, and poker by a variety of providers should be enough to whet the appetite of most players and slake the thirst of others.

Animated random number generator games are the preferred choice of many players, including myself most times. But then again, I play a lot and sometimes simply don't need the semi-social interaction - I can get that at land-based venues.

What I like most about RNG roulette is the ability to control the pace of the game - that is especially true with blackjack. Live dealers have their advantages too, but the pace simply doesn't fit the mood at all times.

Live dealers

Evolution Gaming provides over 100 tables of action here when demand calls for it. The site offers nearly a dozen languages in the digital edition, and Evolution provides native language tables for some visitors. Just look for the name of the table like Svensk roulette or Dansk blackjack, etc.

If you're not in the mood to immerse yourself in a serious head-to-head game against a dealer, look for one of the multiple extractions and relaxing games.

Crazy Time and Dream Catcher may not offer the best odds in the world, but there are some huge jackpot potentials and the games are simply fun to play. One of the most vivacious games is Monopoly Live. The bonus round uses augmented reality in the studio to liven things up for more than one player at a time.

Bonuses and Promotions

If you want to double up your bankroll and get some extra spins, you can do that on your first deposit - now - that could change over time, so please visit the casino for up-to-the-minute offers - but if you see it near the top of this page, the offer is still valid.

Quick bonus note: Don't put in a bonus code on your first deposit until you check the terms. Upon launch, using a code would short-circuit and nullify the welcome match and spins.

Players from Sweden are not eligible for bonuses or other deposit incentives.

Here's a great bonus term that bears notice: "InstantPay casino has protection against overbetting or playing restricted games. If a player tries to place a bet that exceeds the maximum allowed betting amount during the bonus wagering, the system will cancel the bet. If a player tries to enter a game, which can’t be played with the bonus money, access to this game will be denied."

Some of the other terms are not so friendly for those hoping to profit from regular gameplay with a bonus. Wagering on the welcome bonus is 50xb. Ongoing bonuses can have anywhere from 30x, to 40x depending on your VIP level.

One attractive feature of bonuses here is that there is no max cashout on deposit matches and every percentage increase in your bankroll you buy with your deposit and wise bonus acceptance, puts you that much closer to a jackpot.

Banking and Customer Service

Accepted currencies include CAD, EUR, and USD. Players in South Africa should adjust accordingly.

Several areas of the world are catered to with a variety of payment methods. In addition to debit and credit cards, Trustly, Interac, Skrill, ecoPayz, Neosurf, Paysafe, and iDebit are currently working for deposits. Add bank transfers to the list for withdrawals.

Payouts to e-wallets should occur within minutes after document verification. Expect 1-5 business days for payments to cards and 5-7 days for bank transfers to appear and become available in your account.

The daily withdrawal limit is currently €3,000 with up to €30,000 monthly. Anything larger will be paid in installments.

The site is available in the following languages:

• Deutsch

• Français - Canada
• Kazakh
• Malay
• Norwegian
• Polski
• Spanish - Mexico

Pitfalls

• Bet limits may be set
• Bonus wagering must be completed in 2 days
• Relatively high wagering requirements (50x, 40x, 30x bonus)

The Final Word

InstantPay Casino offers players in New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada a safe and sane online gambling alternative. The fat and juicy game selection is well-curated for the target markets and features everything from Playtech to Yggdrasil and from Megaways to Bonus Buy slots, along with a live dealer suite from Evolution.

The bonus terms are fair and the software won't allow you to bet more than the terms allow while a bonus is active. The wagering requirements of the welcome package are relatively high but returning customers will find plenty of bonuses with lower wagering.

Banking is nearly effortless with options for people in all areas. Look for your local options in the cashier section when you visit. e-Wallets can be paid within minutes or hours, but card payouts and bank wires can take a couple of days to hit your account just like anywhere else.

Be sure to take care of your document verification as soon as you can, especially if you have had KYC issues in the past. Their Malta Gaming Authority license requires them to verify identity before your winnings can be paid. Most players will be confirmed quickly but it's always a good feeling to have that behind you before you cash out.
