Karamba Review

Karamba's casino has been around since 2005 and is definitely worth a look at if you want to do some online gambling.

The Karamba sports betting site launched in 2018 and despite its relative youth, is a top bookmaker with competitive sporting odds and heaps of international betting markets.

Why we like Karamba ✅

• Well-priced and diverse betting markets and odds
• Award-winning customer support
• Karambot betting recommendations and Karamboost multi boosts

Karamba might be younger and less well-known than some of the betting sites that you currently use but if you're looking to snap up a new sign-up bonus, or get great increased Multi odds, then Karamba is the bookmaker for you.

The Karamba betting site and mobile app are intuitive and easy to navigate. You'll see Today's Events, In-Play, Upcoming and Highlights tabs in the main betting window with featured sports, all sports and a search bar on the left of the screen. Your bet slip is displayed on the left of the screen, along with Karamba's own, Karambot betting tips.

You'll also find various promotional offers sliding across the screen and in the top navigation bar you'll be able to visit the Karamba Casino, Scratchcards, Live Casino, Virtual Sport and Sport pages.

Karamba's odds are generally right up there with the best betting sites NZ players have to choose from and they are consistently better than TAB NZ Odds.

Karamba's football, racing, tennis, NFL and Esports odds are particularly strong although their NRL and Super Rugby odds are also very well-priced.

Karamba has a couple of cool, unique features that we love. The Karambot is Karamba's Robo-betting tipster. Karambot gives NZ players daily bet tips for super rugby, football, NRL, racing and more.

The Karamboost feature gives you boosted odds and extra winnings on Multis (or Accas).

Like the other great NZ betting sites, Karamba also offers plenty of continuous casino and sports betting promotions, the ability to bet-live and a knowledgable customer support team.

In fact, Karamba won the 2019 Best Customer Relationship Management Award at the EGR Marketing and Innovation Awards. We also sent the Karamba team some messages via live chat and they responded within 30 seconds and were very polite and helpful.

What we don’t like ❌

• Karamba's payment methods are adequate but limited
• Karambas promotions and bonuses aren't listed in NZD

Karamba only offers a few payment methods to New Zealand players. These are Credit/Debit card for deposits and withdrawals and Bank Transfer for withdrawals. This isn't the end of the world because these payment methods are the most popular NZ payment methods.

However, it is a shame because Karamba offers players from other countries many more payment options and they still advertise these options on their site.

It seems that Kiwis aren't Karamba's top priority because even though their online casino and sports betting site are available for Kiwis to play with NZD, the information on the site, particularly the sign-up bonuses and ongoing promotions are always displayed in other currencies like Euros, USD and Pounds.

This is a little annoying because it can be confusing to know how much a bonus is actually going to be worth, however, the Karamba customer support team is easy to access and quick to respond via the live chat function so you can always send them a clarifying message.

Karamba Sign-Up Bonus

The Karamba Free Bet Sign-Up bonus is a Bet $40 Get $20 offer.

As outlined in the picture above, claiming this free bet offer is easy. All you have to do is:

1. Click the green ‘Claim’ button above
2. Click ‘Bet Now’ or 'Join' on the Karamba site and create an account
3. Deposit and bet at least $40 NZD at odds 2.00 or higher

Win or lose, your $20 NZD free bet will be credited to your account and must be used within 14 days at odds of 1.80 or higher. Your free bet stake will not be included in any winnings.

For example, let's say you deposit and bet $40 on the Wellington Phoenix to beat the Western Sydney Wanderers at odds 2.60. Whether the Phoenix win or lose, you will receive a $20 free bet. To turn this free bet into withdrawable cash you use your $20 free bet to bet on the Chiefs to beat the Crusaders at odds of 3.05.

Let's say the Phoenix lose but the Chiefs win. You lose $40 on the Hurricanes bet but win $41.00 on the Chiefs (the free bet is not included in any winnings). You're up $1!

For players that prefer online casino games, Karamba has a 100% matched casino bonus up to $400 plus 100 additional free spins.

The Karamba offers listed below are by no means an exhaustive list of every bonus that NZ players can claim from Karamba's sports betting site or online casino site.

With these bonuses, you'll often find that the winnings you receive from Karamba are more lucrative than those that you'll get at other NZ sports betting and gambling sites.

Karamba Deposit Bonuses

There are two deposit bonuses for Kiwis at Karamba. Despite what is displayed on their website, these bonuses are also available in NZD.

The two Karamba deposit bonuses are:

1. Karamba Sports Bonus: Bet $40 Get $20 Free Bet
   
2. Karamba Casino Bonus: 100% matched up to $400 with 100 free spins
   

All the information that you need regarding these bonuses can be found in this Karamba review.

Karamboost

With Karamboost you get extra winnings from Multi (Acca) bets based on how many selections your multi contains.

Karamboost is available on all sports, leagues and competitions, including horse racing, as long as the odds are fixed and picked before the match begins. Each multi selection must be made at a minimum odds of 1.20.

Extra winnings are credited like so:

• 4-selections – 4%
• 5-selections – 7%
• 6-selections – 10%
• 7-selections – 15%
• 8-selections – 20%
• 9-selections – 25%
• 10-selections – 30%
• 11-selections – 35%
• 12-selections – 40%
• 13-selections – 45%
• 14-selections – 50%
• 15-selections – 77%

Karamba Battle

Karamba battle is unique Karamba promotion that allows NZ bettors to go head-to-head with bettors from around the world in various different betting tournaments. Prizes and rules vary based on the tournament you choose to join. Karamba battle competitions are free to join and awesome for any competitive Kiwis out there.

Karamba No Deposit Bonus

Karamba no deposit bonuses come around every once in a while so make sure you check the Karaba Promotions tab regularly to make sure that you don't miss out. No deposit bonuses are the best bonus offers out there because they don't require you to deposit or wager anything, yet you can still earn real money from winning no deposit bets.

Karamba Free Spins

Karamba gives new online casino players 100 free spins for fulfilling their deposit bonus requirements. There are also plenty of ongoing Karamba promotions that give NZ players free spins. To maximise your Karamba free spins we recommend opting-in to the Karamba newsletter because you will receive all of these bonuses by email and never miss extra free spin offers.

Free spins can be used on selected online casino slots and allow you to win real money.

Karamba Loyalty Program

Karamba rewards its casino players with lucrative bonuses as a part of the Karamba loyalty program. You can earn Karamba points by playing Karamba games which allows you to level up. Depending on your level, you will receive additional bonuses and free spins.

For example, if you reach Prestige level - the top level of the Karamba loyalty program - Karamba will reward you with $100 in bonus cash, 50 prestige games, a personalised offer from your personal account manager, a faster cash-out process, a birthday bonus, Sunday spins, access to live tournaments, higher limits and monthly cashback.

Karamba has an Apple and Android app they are both free to download.

The Apple app can be downloaded from the NZ App Store. However, the NZ Google Play Store doesn't have sports betting apps on it and therefore you will need to find the Karamba Android app online and download it directly from a website that has it.

This is certainly not ideal for Android users and we wish Karamba would include an Android app download link on their own website.

Despite this, we were really impressed with the functionality and speed of the Karamba app.

The Karamba app certainly beats the Karamba mobile site and is a better option for bettors and gamblers who want to use their smartphone.

You'll find sports bets, live betting, casino games, live casino and all of the other things that the Karamba NZ site has also available on the Karamba app.

We really like the Karamba app's search function as it makes finding your bets simple and easy, especially if you're looking to bet on a Super Rugby or A-league match that might be less popular worldwide.

Karamba Casino

The Karamba casino has an awesome range of online slots, table games and live casino games but we also noticed that they have a strong focus on video slots and online scratchies.

None of the Karamba casino games need to be downloaded so they can be played easily via the Karamba casino site, mobile site and Karamba app. There is also a free play mode that allows NZ Karamba players to play for free and demo the available games before they have to commit any real money.

You'll find popular video slot games like Starburst and Gonzo's Quest as well as more traditional table games like blackjack, roulette and baccarat on the Karamba online casino.

Karamba Online Slots

Karamba's online slots were developed by industry leaders like NeoGames, NetEnt and Cryptologic. As such there are heaps of high-quality games from classic slots like Monte Carlo and Book of Dead to Twin Spin, Grand Crown and hundreds more. Karamba's slots can be played for free on demo mode or, of course, for real New Zealand dollars.

Karamba Live Casino

Karamba's live casino has heaps of awesome tables. You'll find all your favourite live table games with the click of a mouse or tap of a finger including blackjack, roulette, baccarat and even Texas Hold 'em and three-card poker. Karamba's live casino also offers Deal or No Deal, Monopoly, Mega Ball and other games like Dice and Football Studio Pro.
