Paradise8 has been in business since 2005, but they recently became aware of the number of South Africans that have been signing up at their online casino. In recognition of this fact, they've begun accepting deposits in South African rand, instead of just dollars, pounds and euros. It's always lekker when a major online casino like Paradise8 recognises us.

If you just want to have a look around, but would like to play for real cash, Paradise8 gives you a free casino bonus of R100 so that you can take a few things for a test drive. Best part about this free casino bonus? It's real money – meet the wagering requirements and you get to keep whatever you win.

Once you're ready to deposit some of your own rands into your casino account, you'll find that Paradise8 has one of the most generous first time deposit bonuses in the industry. If you're a slots fan, you can get up to R11,000 free over your first three deposits – awesome!

If you prefer more traditional table games, there's still a delicious bonus for you: Paradise8 will match whatever your first deposit is, up to a maximum of R3,500 – effectively doubling your money. So if you deposit a grand, you'll start playing on their tables with a R2,000 stack.

The game selection on offer at Paradise8 Casino is pretty extensive. There are over 80 different games to choose from – about half of them are video slots titles, including the always fantastic i-Slots and a couple of traditional 3-reel slots that should give you some nostalgia for the old days.

Then there's also a huge selection of traditional table games like Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, Craps and the like. Whatever your fancy, you're going to find games to suit you at Paradise8 Casino.
