How We Test Online Casinos

Last updated: 24 June 2026

No casino is reviewed here on the strength of its marketing. Each one, Limitless included, is put through the same hands-on test with real money first. The steps below are where a verdict actually comes from.

Signing up and funding

We open an account the way any New Zealand visitor would and deposit our own money. We record the minimum, the available methods, and anything about the registration that feels designed to rush you. With operators that carry payout complaints, we are watching from the first screen for terms that could later be used to withhold winnings.

Working through the bonus

We take the advertised offer and play part of it, tracking the wagering requirement, the cashout cap and how each game type contributes. Restrictive small print is common on offshore bonuses, so we read every clause rather than the headline percentage.

Trying to withdraw

This step decides the score. We request a payout and follow exactly what happens: whether KYC suddenly appears, how long documents take to clear, whether a withdrawal is delayed, capped or quietly voided. For a site like Limitless, where players have reported refused cashouts, this is the single most important thing we check.

Support and writing it up

We contact support with a genuine query and judge the speed and the substance of the reply. The findings are then scored against the weighted method under how we rate, and the review carries a name and a date so the verdict is accountable.
