Shazam at a glance
The rows below are as read on 24 October 2026, unless a row gives another date. Accounts are opened in USD or AUD (clause 20.1), and the bonus pages print amounts with “$” without naming the currency, so amounts below without a symbol are in the account’s currency.

Who runs Shazam
Shazam’s terms say the site is operated by Astartabiz Kft., a company registered in Hungary under no. 16-09-020539 (clause 1.4). They name no gaming licence and no regulator; the only jurisdiction they mention is Curaçao, whose laws and courts govern the terms (11.5). The terms also describe a certified random number generator and 256-bit SSL encryption (18.1, 19.1); that is the casino’s statement, and we did not verify it.
Shazam Casino sign-up bonus: the terms
The sign-up bonus is a match on the first three deposits: 250%, then 200%, then 150%, with an extra 50% for crypto deposits; the home page advertises it as “Up to $7500”. It applies to deposits of 25 or more (Neosurf 10), counted up to 1,000 each, and to slots and table games (welcome page). Amounts here are in the account’s currency, USD or AUD.
- Largest bonus per deposit: 1,000 times the bonus percentage, unless the bonus terms say otherwise (22.11). A first deposit of 1,000 at 250% gives a bonus of at most 2,500.
- Wagering: deposit plus bonus, 35 times, on slots and cards (23.2). Slots count in full; card games count 20 cents in the dollar (22.8).
- Maximum bet while a bonus is active: 10; a larger bet voids the bonus and its winnings (22.10).
- Cash-out cap: 20 times the deposit on the welcome bonuses, “except where explicitly stated otherwise” (23.3). The “no maximum cashout” line in clause 24.2 belongs to the separate section on other match bonuses, where the bonus amount is deducted at withdrawal instead.
- Excluded games include roulette, baccarat, jackpot games and craps (22.7).
- Expiry: the welcome page says each bonus “has an expiration date” but gives none, and the terms give none either.
Our arithmetic, as an example: a first deposit of 100 with a bonus of 250 needs 12,250 in bets, (100 + 250) × 35, and the most it can cash out under clause 23.3 is 2,000.
The no-deposit page carried a card headed “Get 20$ No Deposit Bonus” on 12 October 2026 and again on 24 October 2026, with wagering of 50 times, a cash-out cap of “Max CO: $50.” and slots, table games and specialties as the eligible games. How it is credited was not checked. We do not publish bonus codes.
How long do Shazam withdrawals take?
The terms give no payout time. They say all withdrawals are “limited to $2,000 or AUD 2000 per week” (clause 20.17), require every deposit to be wagered once (20.10) and a deposit with the chosen withdrawal method first (20.13), and say document approval takes three to four business days, weekends excluded (20.15). The FAQ answer on withdrawal times was not shown without a click, so we have no stated time to quote.
Payments
The public cashier page listed 13 deposit methods on 24 October 2026, as on 12 October: Visa, Mastercard and AmEx as one entry (25 to 1,000 in the account’s currency), ten cryptocurrencies, PayPal used to buy Litecoin, and Interac. It notes that options “might vary depending on your location”. Withdrawal methods were not shown without a click, and the terms say the casino may pay out by the method it finds most practical (20.14).
Does Shazam accept PayID?
Not confirmed. PayID was not among the 13 deposit methods the public cashier page listed on 24 October 2026, and the casino’s cashier itself could not be read without an account on 11 October.
Games, mobile and support
These lines come from an earlier version of this review and were not re-checked on 24 October 2026. That version described more than 250 games, pokies from Realtime Gaming such as Bubble Bubble 2, table games, live roulette, baccarat and blackjack, and specialties such as keno and Sic Bo; browser play on Android and iOS without an app; and support through a FAQ, live chat, email and phone.
How we checked
We opened the site from an Australian connection (Melbourne) in a headless browser on 12 October 2026 and again on 24 October 2026; from a German connection the same address redirected to another domain. Nothing was clicked and no account was opened, so no deposit or withdrawal was made. We read the terms and conditions, the welcome bonus page, the no-deposit page and the public cashier page on both days, when their text was the same, and ACMA’s list of blocked gambling websites on 24 October 2026.
Score: 4.5 base, with nothing added or taken off. The terms name a company but no regulator, so the +0.75 for operator and regulator is not earned. A weekly cap of 2,000 in USD or AUD is below the rubric’s A$7,000 threshold, and we found no monthly cap, minimum withdrawal, processing commitment, jackpot rule or PayID; document approval in 3–4 business days is not a payout commitment. We found no hold or fee to deduct.
Before you deposit at Shazam
The terms quoted in this review sit inside a wider set of pages. Withdrawal times explains the three stages of a payout and why the pending period and verification take longest; PayID casinos and bank transfer cover the two routes most deposits and payouts take; casino bonuses explained gives the arithmetic behind any offer Shazam shows, and no-deposit bonuses the cash-out caps that apply to a free chip. If you are deciding between Shazam and another site, safe online casinos compares what each operator names and commits to, and minimum deposit casinos shows what a small first deposit actually buys.
Licence check
Not checked yet. Our check could not read the whole site, so we make no claim about a licence here.
Last attempt 22 Oct 2026. This brand is on ACMA’s list of blocked gambling websites, so we show none of its web addresses here.
