About CasinoPulse

Independent South African casino reviews, founded and edited by Steve Legae since 2024.

Who We Are

CasinoPulse is an independent casino information and affiliate website founded in 2024 by Steve Legae. Our mission is to give South African players honest, thoroughly researched casino reviews, clear ZAR bonus comparisons, and practical responsible gambling guidance — the resource we wished existed when we started playing.

We are not owned by, affiliated with, or funded by any of the casinos we review. Our revenue comes from affiliate commissions — we earn a fee when players sign up at a recommended casino via our links. This never influences our ratings, which are determined solely by our published review methodology. Steve Legae is personally accountable for everything published on this site.

Strategy & Payments Writer

Writes our strategy and mathematics guides — house edge, volatility, bankroll management — and tests Ozow, Capitec Pay and EFT deposits and withdrawals across the operators we review.

Our Review Process

Every casino review on CasinoPulse follows a rigorous, multi-step process:

  1. Account Creation: We register real player accounts using our own funds and personal details.
  2. Bonus Testing: We claim the welcome offer, document exact terms, and verify that the credited amount matches what was advertised.
  3. Game Testing: We play a representative sample of slots, table games, and live dealer games to evaluate quality and fairness.
  4. Withdrawal Testing: We make real-money withdrawals and document the actual processing times.
  5. Support Testing: We contact customer support via multiple channels and measure response time and quality.
  6. Licence Verification: We verify all claimed licences directly on regulator websites.
  7. Responsible Gambling Audit: We verify the availability and effectiveness of self-exclusion, deposit limits, and other RG tools.
