Offshore · Estonia (EMTA) high roller casino
High Roller – independent review
This review is about the brand HighRoller.com — not the generic term "high roller" — an offshore casino available to New Zealand players. It is owned by High Roller Technologies, Inc. (US-based, listed on the NYSE as ROLR) and operated via its subsidiary Happy Hour Solutions Ltd (registered in Cyprus), under an Estonian remote-gambling licence (EMTA). It holds no New Zealand licence.
HighRoller.com positions itself as a premium, casino-first brand with a polished interface, and won Casino Operator of the Year 2024 at the WN iGaming Summit. A publicly listed owner is a transparency point, but it is still offshore in New Zealand. For another offshore brand with a notable owner, see LeoVegas. 18+.
Licence & ownership
The HighRoller.com brand is owned by High Roller Technologies, Inc. (USA, NYSE: ROLR) and operated through Happy Hour Solutions Ltd (Cyprus-registered) under an Estonian remote-gambling licence (EMTA; HKL000374 / HKT000063, with a Curaçao framework also noted historically).
A listed parent company means more public disclosure than a typical offshore operator — a genuine transparency point — but the licence is Estonian/offshore, not a New Zealand one. Note the disambiguation: this is the specific brand, not the generic "high roller" concept.
Games
HighRoller.com is a casino-first, premium brand with a polished UI, and it won Casino Operator of the Year 2024 (WN iGaming Summit). Our sources emphasise presentation and awards over raw counts, so we don't state a game total.
If you want a brand with a documented large library instead, see the well-documented All Slots; for a young crypto-friendly alternative, see SpinBit; and for a brand whose operator we could not verify, see VegasStars.
Payments & NZD
Cited payment methods include POLi, Visa/Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller and Paysafecard, with crypto in some regions. The brand serves New Zealand players from offshore in an NZD-oriented way.
As an offshore site, the payment and dispute framework is the overseas regulator's, so verify the current terms on the site before depositing.
What New Zealand players should know
HighRoller.com has no New Zealand licence. Under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026, marketing online casino to NZ customers is prohibited, and unlicensed operators must stop serving New Zealand from 1 December 2026.
A listed owner adds transparency, but it does not change the offshore status. See our complete reviews list.
