Power Up got a careful seven-day test from our team, and the report below is the unvarnished result: where the bonus delivers, where the lobby surprises, and why we landed on a 8.5/10 rating.

Overview

Power Up positions itself for New Zealand players with a modern interface and a lobby of around 1498 games. Sign-up takes about 2 minutes and the cashier supports Mastercard, POLi, Skrill and Visa. The welcome offer headlines a 125% match + 25 spins match, and reload promotions land on Fridays most weeks. Throughout testing the platform stayed responsive on both desktop and mobile, with no notable crashes or session drops over our 30+ play sessions.

Mobile experience

The mobile experience is browser-based and well-built. Game tiles stack cleanly, the search bar is sticky, and the cashier flow is the same on phone as on desktop. We tested on a mid-range Android and an older iPhone, both without issue. There is no separate mobile bonus — the welcome package applies regardless of device.

Games & software

The catalogue is anchored by names you would expect — Yggdrasil, NetEnt, Realtime Gaming, Microgaming and Push Gaming carry the load, with a smaller selection of niche studios for variety. Slots dominate the lobby (roughly 62% of titles), backed by a table-games section that covers blackjack, roulette and baccarat in multiple variants, and a live-casino lobby with HD streams from the major providers. Search returns are fast and demo-play is available on most slots without registration.

Licensing & safety

Licensing details are published in the footer — Department of Internal Affairs is in place. Player funds are held separately from operating capital, RNG outcomes are independently tested, and the standard responsible-gambling toolkit (deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion) is one click into the account area. No major regulator has taken public action against the brand at time of writing.
