Hello, my friend! I’m Daniel, and I am the gentleman behind Ricky Casino. I was born and raised in New Zealand, and like many Kiwis, grew up with a love of the games, the community and a fair go. After years of playing and reviewing online casinos, I spotted a gap in the market; too many flashy sites that professed to be the next best thing, but forgot the key components of safe play, fair payouts, or genuine support. So, in 2021 I embarked on the journey with my small team here in Auckland to create something different - a casino, for Kiwis and Aussies, by people who play.
The idea was very simple; to create a platform where online pokies, table games, and live dealer rooms actually work the way they should be, as a fast, fair, and fun experience. My vision was to create a platform that felt like the excitement of SkyCity in Auckland but accessible on your laptop or mobile device. From day one, we have focused on fair play, transparent bonuses, and payouts that you never have to chase.
We’re licensed under Curacao, but our heart is in New Zealand. We designed Ricky Casino with Kiwi players in mind:
The objective of Ricky Casino is to provide every Kiwi punter (gambler) with a safe, enjoyable, and trustworthy place to play. We believe online casinos should be fun, not stressful. That’s why we focus on responsible gambling: we have deposit limits, loss limits, and self-exclusion tools readily available in your account. Your wellbeing comes first, always.
I still play here myself almost evrery night - sometimes pokies, sometimes going for a quick round of live blackjack. Ricky Casino is not just a business, it is a community. If you ever see me in the chat (yes, I do jump in sometimes!) don’t be afraid to say hi. We built this place to be fun, fair, and most importantly, very Kiwi. Thank you for being part of it.
Cheers,
Daniel – Founder of Ricky Casino NZ
