These days we play almost exclusively on mobile: more than 70% of our sessions are on a smartphone. With Stay Casino, we wanted to test the full journey: sign-up, deposits, game speed and withdrawals. Over two weeks, we completed 14 sessions, made 8 deposits totalling AU$700, and tested the mobile version on an iPhone 13 and Samsung Galaxy S21. Here’s our detailed feedback, with real numbers and results.
Our first experience with Stay Casino mobile
Registration took less than 2 minutes, and we were already logged into our account. After our first deposit of AU$75, we received a +AU$75 bonus and 100 free spins. Everything was credited automatically. The first spins on Gates of Olympus returned AU$28 in 15 minutes. A promising start, especially since we were on the go with 4G connection.
Sign-up and login from a smartphone
On iPhone, we used Face ID, and on Android fingerprint. Future logins took just 5 seconds on average. A single tap was enough to enter the lobby, making quick gaming sessions very convenient.
First deposit and bonus activation via mobile
We topped up AU$75 via Apple Pay and instantly saw AU$150 on balance. The 100 free spins were split between Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza. The first batch of 50 spins gave us AU$36. Two days later, we deposited AU$150 and unlocked the second half of the welcome bonus: +AU$75 and 150 free spins. The full AU$750 + 250 FS pack was activated entirely on mobile.
Ease of use and navigation
The main menu sits at the bottom of the screen: lobby, games, promos, cashier and profile. Search was quick: 3–4 seconds to find Sweet Bonanza or Big Bass Bonanza, then 2 seconds to launch. Games from Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO and Evolution Gaming all ran smoothly.
Menu organisation and game search
Filters by genre and provider worked efficiently. We found Book of Dead in 8 seconds just typing “Book”. The “New” section instantly showed fresh titles, including Big Bass Amazon Xtreme. The “History” function let us reopen Sweet Bonanza with one tap.
Loading speed of slots and live casino
Slots loaded in 2–3 seconds on Wi-Fi and 4–5 on 4G. Evolution Gaming live games (Lightning Roulette and Crazy Time) started in 6 seconds. We played 40 minutes straight on Crazy Time without a single interruption.
Mobile gaming sessions
We tested 15 slots and 4 live games. The interface was clear, buttons well placed, and bonuses triggered correctly. On Sweet Bonanza, we hit a x100 multiplier, paying AU$145 from a AU$1 bet. On Book of Dead, three bonus rounds brought AU$90. In live blackjack, we played 14 hands at AU$8 each, winning 9 of them.
The pokies we tested
Sweet Bonanza — 180 spins, total win AU$115. Book of Dead — 120 spins, total win AU$90. Big Bass Bonanza — 100 spins, total win AU$46. Gates of Olympus — 150 spins, total win AU$135 (including AU$65 on a single spin). All ran flawlessly, even on average 4G signal.
Our experience in live dealer games
On Crazy Time, the “Coin Flip” bonus dropped three times, once with x25 multiplier for AU$80 on a AU$3 bet. On Lightning Roulette, two consecutive AU$15 bets on red both landed, adding AU$30. HD video and dealer interaction were identical to desktop play.
Speed and stability of the app
We compared Wi-Fi at 100 Mbps and 4G at 20–25 Mbps. The load time difference never exceeded 2 seconds. Even in the metro, slots stayed smooth. Across 14 sessions, we only had one micro-freeze, and the game resumed exactly where it left off.
Tests on Wi-Fi and 4G
Gates of Olympus opened in 2 seconds on Wi-Fi versus 5 on 4G. Live blackjack ran uninterrupted, even when switching between apps. We repeated this 7 times without a single disconnect.
Behaviour in multitasking
Slots paused automatically, and live games resumed at the current round. This avoided having to restart sessions from scratch.
Payments via mobile
We made 8 deposits and 3 withdrawals on smartphone. Deposits via Apple Pay and Visa were instant, Skrill in 30 seconds. For withdrawals: AU$190 on Visa took 9 hours, AU$125 on Skrill took 3 hours, AU$160 in BTC just 28 minutes. Minimum deposit: AU$20, minimum withdrawal: AU$25. Every operation was secured with Face ID or SMS codes.
Deposits and withdrawals from phone
We deposited between AU$20 and AU$150, always credited instantly. A AU$225 Visa withdrawal cleared in under 24h, while crypto took only 30 minutes. Crypto is the fastest option by far.
Which payment methods are fastest
Crypto: 25–35 minutes, Skrill/Neteller: 3–4 hours, bank cards: 8–10 hours. Stay Casino was around 20% faster than the average casino we tested.
Security and support
We completed mobile KYC in 1h30 by submitting passport + selfie. Support chat: 2–3 minutes average wait, email: 15–20 minutes. We checked withdrawal limits, bonus conditions and free spins — answers were clear and personal.
Verification via mobile
We uploaded passport photo + selfie directly. Account validated in 90 minutes. Our withdrawal cap increased from AU$800/day to AU$3,200/day.
Contacting support by chat and email
Chat replies: 2 minutes at night, 40 seconds in the morning. By email, our cashback question was solved in 18 minutes. The team was quick and professional.
Our conclusion on Stay Casino mobile
Stay Casino on mobile is fast, reliable and enjoyable. In 14 sessions, we activated the AU$750 + 250 FS welcome bonus, made 8 deposits and 3 withdrawals entirely on smartphone. Everything ran without delays: games loaded in seconds and payments were confirmed quickly. Based on our experience, Stay Casino is perfectly suited for mobile play both on the go and at home.
