FREE online casino games for South Africans at PlayLive Casino

PlayLive Casino bills itself as SA’s largest online casino and judging from the portfolio of thrilling online and mobile casino games we can see on their homepage, they may just be on point.

But there’s another reason why PlayLive is a favourite destination here at the Online South Africa Casinos offices – FREE online casino games! You did read that correctly, PlayLive offers players from South Africa the chance to play and explore across the website for absolutely no cost.

No wonder it’s one of the most popular online casinos in Mzansi.

So, what does play for free actually mean at PlayLive?

What is playing for free?

Online gambling, any form of gambling in fact, is the putting down of real money in the hopes of winning even more back. That is the point, whether you’re gambling on sports or on casino games. Players risk their bankroll for the chance of hitting a win.

So, what is playing for free? Does it mean you can play casino games and win cash without risking your own money?

No.

Playing for free means you get access to the games without having to put down any real money – but you don’t win any real money even if you hit the jackpot.

Why play for free?

What most gamblers know is that the games are not only about winning, they’re about having fun – and free games let you have fun without the stress of watching your balance ticking down.

Apart from just playing the games because you enjoy them, free games also let you try out games you’ve never played before. You can get a feel for them, see whether or not you like the action, check out the bonus features, all without having to commit with your cash.

Why does PlayLive Casino offer free casino games?

It’s one of the reasons we love PlayLive: total openness and transparency. By letting players explore everything that they have to offer for free, PlayLive shows us how their platform works, lets us see all the fabulous online and mobile casino games we can enjoy, and even lets us try them out with no judgement or cost.

As professional testers and reviewers of online casinos, we always feel a little suspicious when a gambling partner hides access or won’t let us explore a bit without first signing up and depositing real money. It’s like they are trying to tie us into playing there and, if there is a problem, we have already invested our cash so it’s a huge waste of time and money.

PlayLive is one of those legit, licensed operators who let us wander through their digital doors to our heart’s content and see just what makes this incredible casino tick.

What casino games are free at PlayLive?

The vast majority of the PlayLive casino games portfolio is available to try out for free. This includes all the slots (and there are thousands of them!) and most of the digital table games. The only games that are unavailable for free are the Live Casino games.

Are there any other restrictions to free play at PlayLive?

Not really. You don’t need to sign up to try out the games. You don’t need to deposit any money. The only limit to the free play is that you are given a set amount of ‘Fun’ money in the game’s balance. Once that is finished you will need to try again another time. These ‘Fun’ limits can be anything from a few hundred credits to a few thousand (we played Play’n GO’s Casino Hold’em and were given a Fun balance of 100,000 credits – if only that was real money!).

Some of the casino games, especially some of the more feature-rich slots, may restrict you from accessing the jackpot rounds or some of the bonus features but that is really not a big problem, and they are few and far between.

How do I get to the PlayLive Casino free games?
