Our conclusion

Punt online casino hovers in that grey space between good and not-so-good: the land of ‘not bad’. It’s not a terrible place to be, but it’s not highly recommended either. The ownership is reputable and trustworthy, banking options are good, and the selection of games, while small, is good quality. Some decent bonuses are counterbalanced by slow withdrawals, even to ewallets, placing this online casino squarely in the middle.

We don’t think it’s worth rushing over to create an account on, but if you do give it a go, you’ll find it enjoyable enough.

Design & layout

Punt casino is the embodiment of the modern online casino. There’s no messing about, you get straight into the action, starting with your daily bonuses, then heading directly for the games lobby. Punt Casino’s layout is well structured, and navigation is simple and easy to use.

The true stand-out qualities of Punt’s website come into play when you’re going mobile. We cover this in more detail in the Mobile section.

The snag is when you navigate to the actual games lobby. From here, it’s difficult to get back to the information pages of the website. This can be frustrating if a player wants to read terms and conditions, check wagering requirements, or do anything other than play or visit the cashier. On the home page, things like responsible gaming, anti-money laundering policy, terms and conditions, and even the casino’s blog are found all the way at the bottom of the page, in very small print.

The games lobby itself, however, is great, having been recently redesigned. There is a running list of all recent winners to keep the excitement up.

Security & fairness

Although Punt is a relatively new online casino, it is owned and operated by Yebo Casino, a reputable player in the industry. So you can rest assured that Punt is credible. The site is secured by an SSL certificate.

Game Lobby & Portfolio

Once you have entered the games lobby, be prepared to spend quite a bit of time there. Punt would really prefer if you just go straight to the games and don’t bother with anything else on the site, really! There is a decent range of games, including slots, video poker, table games, speciality games and progressive jackpots. Punt is a Realtime Gaming casino, so you can enjoy quality games from this well known provider.

Table games

There are 13 table games on offer at Punt online casino. It’s worth noting that the table games category does not include roulette, which can be found under speciality games. Some of the games on offer include:

Loyalty scheme

Punt online casino offers a loyalty scheme that is quick and easy to find. Players can earn loyalty points and earn VIP status once they have accumulated enough. Punt VIP members can earn some excellent rewards, including cashback, deposit bonuses, gifts, invitations to special VIP events, reduced points-earning requirements, special treatment, and access to VIP customer care. If you’re going to play regularly on Punt, this is absolutely a worthwhile loyalty scheme to belong to.

Mobile

Mobile is an area where Punt really shines. They have gone to great effort to make their website highly mobile responsive and easy to play on the go, anytime, anywhere. Visually, the mobile site is pleasing, and the layout is simple and clear. You can easily scroll through and play without any manual adjustments, cut-off text or those other annoying things that indicate a less-than-optimal mobile response.

But that’s not where the mobile story ends. Punt casino is downloadable, and is formatted specifically for Android and iOS. You can choose to download the iPhone Casino, iPad Casino, Android Mobile Casino, or even Blackberry Casino, or you can play mobile blackjack, roulette or slots.

Banking

Punt makes it as easy as possible for you to deposit and withdraw money. You can select between Visa or Mastercard payments, EasyEFT, and ewallets like ecoPayz, Neteller, Skrill and Bitcoin. These same options apply for withdrawals. The electronic funds transfer option will pay out within 3-7 days of your withdrawal request; ecoPayz, Neteller and Skrill will take between 48 and 72 hours; and Bitcoin is usually under 24 hours. We recommend using the same banking method to deposit and withdraw, as this minimises the verifications required.

Bonuses & Promotions

Bonuses and promotions are only available to users in South Africa, and there aren’t many of them. Punt offers an attractive welcome bonus, as well as regular daily, weekly or weekend bonuses, and a 15% cashback on losses. Unfortunately, Punt loses rating points by not displaying the wagering requirements on their promotions page.

Welcome bonus

As soon as you have registered with Punt and made your first deposit, you will be able to claim your welcome bonus of up to R10,000. This welcome bonus is spread out over your first three deposits as follows: 100% of your first deposit, up to R3500; 75% of your second deposit, up to R2500; and 125% of your third deposit, up to R4000. Just make sure you enter the coupon code before you make the deposit!

Daily, weekly, and weekend bonuses

Each day, when you log in, you will be taken right to the daily bonus page, where you can see which promotions are currently running. Some run for a day, others over a weekend, and some for a few days. These change constantly, so be sure to check in regularly if you’re a bonus hunter.

Cashback

Punt’s cashback offer is 15%, lower than the cashbacks offered by some other online South African casinos. That said, some online casinos don’t offer one at all – so 15% is better than a kick in the teeth!

Customer Support

Customer support is available on the homepage of the website. Live chat is available in the lobby if you have any questions. On the contact page there is a support email for users. The customer support team are knowledgeable and professional.

Terms & Conditions

Most of the terms and conditions on Punt Casino’s website are standard, as long as you are of legal age and within a legally supported jurisdiction. Before any withdrawals are paid out, you will need to verify your identity, as the casino practices KYC.

We do want to draw players’ attention to the wagering requirements on Punt, as they are quite complex. Allocation and weighting can vary from game to game, rather than by game type, as is usual. Some games may not count towards wagering requirements at all, so we advise choosing games with care and consulting the Ts & Cs if you want to claim your bonuses.

Terms worth pointing out include:

• Players must review the terms and conditions no less than once a month (yes, this is in there)
• Making a deposit and cashing in without playing is not permitted
• Conduct or acts that damage the casino’s reputation are not tolerated

License & Ownership

Punt online casino is owned and operated by Yebo Affiliates Casinos, and is licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Authority.
