Room: CRAPS (LORIS)

Bovegas review(LORIS)

The online casino industry is incredibly competitive. Several companies have managed to do what it takes to make it to the top of the heap, and then the rest of the operators are looking for their own small edge to make their businesses profitable. Sometimes all it takes is a special promotion or targeting a particular demographic by tailoring your offering to those specific players. And sometimes it’s just as easy to mirror a company’s branding and even make your name almost the same as the original (think McDowell’s in the movie classic Coming to America – Google it).

This is where we want to start our review of the new casino BoVegas.com. These guys are clearly trying to ride the coattails of the brand recognition of Bodog and Bovada, but does their offering compare? Have a read to find out.

As mentioned, BoVegas is a new entrant on the casino scene. Founded in 2016, the owners of the casino are not listed on their website. This is always a great frustration for me because it already makes me feel like the casino has something to hide. I am not one to let this go, so I did some further investigating and have determined that finding the actual owners of this casino is proving to be harder than hitting a Royal Flush at one of their Video Poker games. So, for the time being, I am not entirely sure who the owners are, but I also don’t care all that much.

BoVegas has a license from the country of Curacao, which is the equivalent of getting your Driver’s License out of a Cracker Jack box. It looks nice, and they can advertise that they have one, but really you as a player don’t get anything out of that aside from perhaps one place to start looking if you are having trouble getting paid by the site.

Restricted Countries

One nice part about being licensed in Curacao: there aren’t really any restrictions on where you can offer your casinos. BoVegas takes full advantage of this by offering their games for real money to essentially every country in the world. Here are the few exceptions to that rule:

  • Belarus
  • Costa Rica
  • Israel
  • Ukraine

If you don’t live in one of those four countries, then you are in luck! Feel free to jump on and get your deposit to BoVegas as you are in the clear.

Casino Design

These days, so many casino websites can get cluttered with horrible graphics, or loads of pop-up windows trying to promote a new offer, etc. I am happy to report that is not the case at BoVegas. I like the High Roller Vegas theme of the casino, featuring lots of red and black, and giving a very nice, clean look to all their pages. Admittedly this does make it look a lot like the Bovada theme, but I will say that there are lots of casinos with this style of website, so I will give BoVegas a pass this time.

The appealing thing about a website that is clean in its design is that it becomes much easier to focus on the promotions and games rather than wanting to move away from the site as quickly as possible.

Mobile Interface

As mentioned before, BoVegas is available for play on mobile devices, I tested their games on both Android and iOS operating systems and browsers, and found both to be very pleasing. The games all played with excellent speed as opposed to some casinos that have a lot of annoying lag. Also, there wasn’t anything lost in the way of graphics when playing the games on a mobile device; RTG continue to make improvements to their casino to make it mobile friendly, and in 2017 I believe this is where all casino software suppliers should be spending the majority of their focus.

Lack of Big Jackpots

RTG casinos have the opportunity to either run progressive games on their own system or tie their jackpots into the entire network of licensees. It appears that BoVegas has chosen to go on their own, and that leaves players with a less than stellar lineup of Jackpot slots titles. The largest jackpot I saw when I wrote this review was just short of $30,000. While this is nothing to sneeze at, I have seen jackpots in the hundreds of thousands on other RTG operator websites. It’s hard to say why BoVegas chose to go this route, but for now, we consider it a disappointment.

No Live Dealer Casino

RTG recently acquired a live dealer casino supplier, and it was assumed that all their licensees would benefit from this acquisition. At the time of this review being written, BoVegas does not offer live dealer games, and this again hits me with some disappointment. I love live dealer games – the dynamic is entirely different, and they aren’t nearly as cold as the video-only versions of the games. I am hopeful that this is coming along in short order for BoVegas and that we will see Live Dealer games there soon.

Game Selection

BoVegas takes advantage of the full suite of RTG games, meaning you get to choose from a very nice selection of slots, table games, and video poker variants. I noticed that not all the different slots titles and table games were available at BoVegas, and that left me wondering if the decision to hold back on other games was to use them as a marketing tool by releasing them periodically or just a restriction placed on the casino by RTG themselves.

Regardless of the missing titles, the quality of the games can still be seen, and there are loads of great games for you to choose from.

Table Games

I have to tell you, I love playing Blackjack. No matter what time of day or night, I can always find a little bit of joy when splitting 8s against a dealer 6 or when getting that game-changing double down win. I have played every casino software there is, and I like what RTG has to offer in the way of Blackjack variants, as well as their other table games. Here are all the games you will find at BoVegas:

  • Baccarat
  • Caribbean Draw
  • BlackjacCaribbean Hold’Em
  • European Blackjack
  • Face Up 21
  • Let’em Ride
  • Match Play 21
  • Pai Gow Poker
  • Perfect Pairs
  • Pontoon
  • Red Dog
  • Suit’em Up
  • BoVegas rewards its players with a series of bonuses that start the second you sign up for your account. They like to put their bonuses into three categories, each of which we have summarized below:

    Welcome Bonus

    Currently, BoVegas is offering players up to $5,500 in welcome bonus cash on your first two deposits. This is split in the following way: 250% bonus up to $2,500 on your first deposit, and 300% bonus on your second deposit up to a maximum of $3,000.

    While that might sound like an excellent bonus, the devil is in the details. These bonuses are Slots bonuses only, which means if you are table games player like I am, they are of virtually no use to you. This is pretty aggravating because these are the only two Welcome Bonuses available on the site.

    Let’s assume you are a slots player and you want to take advantage of this offer. You should know that the wagering requirements for these Welcome Bonuses are 30x Bonus plus deposit. This means if you deposit $1,000 and receive $2,500 in bonus, you will have to make $105,000 in wagers to have met the requirement to cashout. The beautiful part of this bonus is that there is no max cashout, assuming you get that far.

    Daily Rewards

    BoVegas offers its loyal players a reason to log in every day with a series of daily promotions. The only catch with these promotions is that they only display the current daily bonus, not a full list of what bonuses are available each day. This forces you to come back to the site each day to see what your daily offer includes, which can be a huge turn-off to many players. I don’t really mind – if I am going to try to beat a casino with its own bonus, the least I can do is have to research it on a daily basis.

Aladdin’s Gold Review(LORIS)

Judging from the name alone, it is immediately clear that Aladdin’s Gold has a theme based off of a famous Disney movie. The site’s extravagant feel is made apparent almost immediately, and it is great because it is not overcrowded or distracting, but works quite well. Having been founded in 2004, Aladdin’s Gold has been around for quite some time and has built up a reputation for itself along the way. That reputation is flawless and is a major part of the reason this site has such a wide user base not only of players from the United States, but players from all over the world as well.

Apart from the theme, Aladdin’s Gold does not necessarily stand out from the crowd due to boasting any unique features or games. Instead, this real money online casino keeps things basic and focuses almost all of its energy into providing a great playing experience. Unlike other sites that try to distract you and take your money, Aladdin’s Gold gives you control to do whatever it is your heart desires. That is a nice change from the pressure you experience from other sites.

Game Selection

In all, Aladdin’s Gold does offer a lot of games for every type of casino player to take advantage of. If we are talking classic table games you will find on the floor of any brick and mortar casino, those exist in great number. Whether you are talking obscure games like Keno, or the incredibly popular blackjack, there is something for every type of player.

The selection of slots you will find on Aladdin’s Gold is nothing to scoff at either. In fact, if you are a slots player you are going to absolutely love this casino. They boast games of all varieties and appeal to people who have been playing slots their whole life as well as those who have just recently discovered the allure of slot games. Being that all of these different games are provided by RTG, you will find that many of them are familiar. What’s more, you will never experience issues with regard to gameplay either.

Aladdin’s Gold Banking Options

As far as your ability to make deposits and execute withdrawals at Aladdin’s Gold is concerned, there are a sufficient number of options. We are not going to lie and say that they have a lot of variety, but the banking methods offered do well to satisfy the needs of most every online casino goer out there.

If you are attempting to make a deposit at this casino, you have the following options available to you: Credit card, Eco Card, NETeller, and Skrill.

If you have had a good run and are looking to cash out some of your winnings, these are your options: check, bank wire, credit card, NETeller, Skrill, and Eco Card.

Customer Support and Reputation

If you ever encounter a problem with your gameplay experience or any other aspect of Aladdin’s Gold, you have the ability to reach out to customer support in a number of different ways. For one, there is the classic email option, but there also exists a toll-free number and live chat option that are available at all hours of the day and night.

With regard to the site’s overall reputation, a thorough search of the internet will turn up very few testimonials from disappointed customers. This should tell you something. In all Aladdin’s Gold is held in a high regard and is a casino that can very easily be trusted for a host of reasons. If you do not believe us, we suggest you give the site a try for yourself.

Sign-Up Bonus

To go through each on of Aladdin’s deposit bonuses would take quite some time. Simply put, this casino really knows how to offer an attractive deposit bonus for new players and is not shy about it. Existing in the form of a matching bonus over a series of deposits, Aladdin’s Gold does well to allow a player to keep maximizing their bankroll and having the absolute maximum amount of cash with which to play at any single point in time.

Like any bonus you will find at a modern real money online casino, the bonuses offered by Aladdin’s Gold are accompanied by a set of terms and conditions. It is in these terms and conditions that you will be able to figure out how you can turn bonus funds into cash that is able to be withdrawn. These are called wagering requirements and must be met before cashing out any bonus monies or winnings stemming from the bonus monies.

SpinPalace review(LORIS)

Spin Palace had a remodel in the summer of 2017, and the result is a sleek and sophisticated new website with a brand new sportsbook. The casino is provided by Microgaming so, unless you’re brand new to online gaming, you’ll be familiar with many of the popular slot titles and those big progressive jackpot opportunities. The sportsbook offers 70 sports including in-play opportunities, and has a custom welcome bonus and daily specials. Video poker, table games, and a live dealer casino round out an action-packed website but don’t expect to see too many promotions as welcome offers take center stage.

The Breakdown

Overall

Spinpalace.com is a well re-designed site that doesn’t go over the top with promotions but provides a quality casino and sports betting experience. It has a long track record and seems to have learned from its experience as it has put forward a good overall product. We would like to see more banking information, though. For a site that provides a plethora of information regarding the gaming, it holds back on the financial end of things.

Game Variety

There isn’t any major issue in the variety of games offered in the casino. However, there isn’t a specialty games section with things like bingo and scratch cards, and all slots are provided by Microgaming, so they’re all video slots.

Banking

We honestly don’t know how to rate the banking on this site as so much is not disclosed. There are six deposit and five payout methods, relatively small compared to some competitors. Bitcoin, paysafecard, and a few other of the newer alternatives aren’t offered but, we lowered this rating a bit for not providing payout turnaround times and specific fees if any.

Bonuses

The welcome bonus is the only consistent programs in the casino. While that’s fine for some, other players like to opt-in to more value added opportunities. What we most like, though, are the daily Enhanced Odds specials in the sportsbook.

Custmer Service

We’re not swayed either way on customer service. There aren’t any consistent complaints about poor service or no response, but there isn’t much in the way of above-average assistance either.

Mobile Casino

It’s attractive and has a lot of the information needed, even if you’re brand to new online betting. We did experience some lags, and a few misdirects but, all in all, it’s a good, solid portable site.

Overview of Spin Palace

Who is Behind the Palace?

We want to get something out of the way right up front as there’s so much contradictory information out there about Spin Palace’s ownership and some past issues with that group. It is currently owned and operated by the CityViews Group with licensing under Bayton Limited and Baytree Limited.

We don’t see anything reflecting a significant ownership change from the Palace Group, the previous ownership designation, and all of the sister sites like Cabaret Club, Ruby Fortune, and Jackpot City are listed in the terms and conditions on spinpalace.com.

When you do some searching, a few of the sites under the Palace Group did have some affiliate payment problems and slow pays for players. But, on the flip side, sites like Spin Palace, Mummy’s Gold, and River Belle Gold have always been highly regarded by both reviewers and players, at least for the most part.

There aren’t currently any major issues being reported and the Palace Group’s old ties to the affiliate program, Wagershare, appear to be severed. Wagershare was assumed to be behind most of the complaints that were filed.

Spin Palace is fully licensed through Malta Gaming Authority as well as the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada. Aside from the one-off issues that will always pepper player forums, users are complimentary of the new site and appreciate the popular Microgaming options.

No US Players Allowed

Aside from customers from the United States not being allowed to register or use the service, players from the following locations are also on the “no list.”

  • Belgium
  • Denmark
  • France & Territories
  • Hong Kong
  • Iran
  • Israel
  • Italy
  • Myanmar
  • North Korea
  • Philippines
  • Romania
  • Singapore
  • South Africa
  • Spain
  • US Territories
  • Taiwan
  • Turkey
  • Hungary
  • Czech Republic
  • United Kingdom
Credit, Debit, e-Wallet and More

Deposit and withdrawal options include credit and debit cards in both directions as well as iDebit, Trustly, and popular e-wallets Skrill and Neteller. Payouts are somewhat fuzzy though. There isn’t a specific approval time posted nor any fees, but the terms and conditions state that charges may apply to some withdrawals so, just a heads up here.

A Successful Makeover

Elegant would be the one word we’d use to describe the new spinpalace.com. The colors and rich and the picture enhancements are either photo-related or crystal clear graphics. It’s not a cartoonish site by any means. It’s deep rich blue with gold accents, and it makes you feel like a high roller just reviewing the information. One of the things we most like about it is the abundance of information provided for players. Everything is explained in great detail. You can even learn how to play a game like Baccarat by reading through that section.

An Invitation to Punters

Sports bettors now have an additional choice for staking their wagers as the new site plans also accommodated a new sportsbook. 70 sports with the most popular bets from spreads and totals to exotics, but a fun addition is the Spin Special section featuring daily enhanced odds opportunities. The book is easy to review and place a bet, and the live betting section is action-packed.

Microgaming. Need We Say More?

If you were to poll most online casino players and ask about the games they like to play, we would bet that most of them would include some Microgaming titles on their list. It’s the company that put out the first online casino and is a well-respected member of the online gambling community. Not only is it known for its big progressive jackpots, but for fun and innovative slots like Playboy, Jurassic Park, Bridesmaids, Terminator 2, and Tarzan. Spin Palace’s casino is provided by Microgaming and not a mix of multiple companies so a lot of the options should be fun and familiar ones.

Bonuses & Promotions

As far as promotions go on this site, there’s only one formal bonus program for casino players and one for sports bettors, and they’re both welcome bonuses that can only be claimed upon initial registration. There aren’t any reload offers or other promotions unless they pop up as one-off opportunities or are offered through the loyalty club.

For Sports Bets25-100% Casino Welcome Bonus Package up to $1000

The welcome bonus is a three-part offer with varying percentages and maximum rewards. The rollover that applies to each of the three awards is 50 times. Meaning, if you deposit $100 and receive $100, that $100 bonus needs to be wagered 50 times for a total of $5,000 in betting.

The three-part welcome package is as follows:

  • 1st Deposit: 100% match up to $250
  • 2nd Deposit: 25% up to $300
  • 3rd Deposit: 50% up to $450
For Sports Bets100% New Sportsbook Player Free Bet up to $200

Sports betting operates a little differently when it comes to meeting promotional wagering requirements. In this case, the value of the initial deposit needs to be played through five times to activate the free bet. So, whereas the bonus award is issued immediately upon deposit with the casino offer, the sportsbook requires the betting first, and then the reward comes after. The maximum win on a free bet is capped at $20,000, so that’s not too bad.

Players can only claim one or the other of these bonuses so if you use the sportsbook and the casino; you’ll need to decide which offer suits you the best.

For Sports BetsThe Loyalty Club

Similar to most online VIP or loyalty clubs, Spin Palace’s is a multi-tier program where new players can start out with 500 free club points and at the Blue level. Customers then progress up the ranks to Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and then Prive by earning points for every €10 wagered as points are awarded based on Euros.

Once you accumulate 2,500 points and get to the Silver level, the benefits start kicking in with a 10% bonus point increase and €1,000 in casino bonuses monthly. Prive level players (500,000 points earned) receive €10,000 in casino bonuses each month plus customized gifts, invitations to sporting events, VIP events, and vacations.

Higher loyalty level members also receive expedited withdrawals, a dedicated support phone number, and a VIP manager assigned to them.

The loyalty club does provide for some tournaments and bonuses that may seem lacking in the promotional area.

For Sports BetsMonthly Raffles

We do like it when a casino offers something a bit different for their players. The deposit match system can get old quickly. The monthly raffles are a good way to shake things up and add some additional excitement for loyal players, but they do require a deposit. One €25 deposit equates to one ticket, and then the winner is drawn at random from all participants. Some months the prizes are pretty impressive like a MacBook Pro or €1,500. Others have featured €50, €150 or €500 in cash. It’d be good to see something outside of the deposit realm, though. Like a slot tournament where everyone can participate or something that involves the actual casino play instead of the cashier.

The Casino Cashier

When you click the Banking tab, you’ll note that a well-organized page of financial options opens up, all graphically depicted and each designating if it’s allowable for deposits and withdrawals both.

What you won’t find is much of anything else on the page. There are no turnaround times, and it doesn’t say if fees are involved or not. We combed through the terms and conditions to try to fill in the blanks and did find a few pieces of information, but not a complete picture.

In reviewing some comments from players who have cashed out from Spin Palace, some say that the process took quite awhile and some say they received their payout faster than expected, so keep that in mind. These are just the overall guidelines.

You can deposit using any of the following:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • Visa Electron Debit Card
  • Maestro Debit Card
  • iDebit Bank Transfer
  • Trustly Bank Transfer
  • Skrill Web Wallet
  • Neteller Web Wallet
Payouts

The terms and conditions section states that fees “may apply.”

  • Maximum Withdrawal:€10,000 per month
  • Internal Approval:1-3 days

The Sportsbook

You can pull up the sportsbook from within spinpalace.com or go directly to spinpalacesports.com, and you’ll find an informative introductory page that details the sports welcome bonus and an overview of the betting service.

This is a brand new service to Spin Palace that was part of its summer of ’17 renovation and, for a new addition, it seems to have everything that most bettors would want.

The book can offer up to 70 sports at any given time and does incorporate horse racing in the main menu.

Some of the betting options include:

  • Baseball
  • Basketball
  • American Football
  • Australian Football
  • Canadian Football
  • Football (Soccer)
  • Gaelic Football
  • Formula One
  • Golf
  • Horse Racing
  • Ice Hockey
  • Rugby League
  • Rugby Union
  • Tennis
  • Boxing
  • Futsal
  • Bandy
  • Cricket
  • Cycling
  • Darts
  • Fencing
  • Gymnastic
  • e-sports

The Betting Service

You’ll get your choice of odds here as Fractional, Decimal, and American odds are all available to accommodate the punters around the globe. Spreads, Money Lines, Totals, Parlays, Props, all of the basic and exotics are also offered in this new book.

Spin Specials

There’s incentive to check out this sportsbook daily as the Spin Specials are Enhanced Odds offers. You’ll see them change daily and include popular sports like soccer, basketball, and football. When we checked in, the book was giving a half a point edge on soccer to win as well as three NFL to win bets.

Betting Limits

Rather than list an overall betting limit, the terms and conditions state that the maximum daily win ceiling is €100.000 or the equivalent in other currencies. The site also strictly prohibits any re-bets or even similar bets and can void payouts accordingly.

Live Odds

Although the new sportsbook didn’t come with live viewing, there is an impressive In Play area with a long list of events. You can also click on a game in progress to see updated scores and available markets. The live betting opportunities don’t stop at the top sports; you can get in on table tennis, cycling, darts, snooker and pool, beach volleyball, badminton, and more.

Mobile Betting

If you’re a mobile user who prefers an app over the mobile browser, then you’re in luck. Spin Palace has a sportsbook app that’s optimized for iOS, Android, and Windows. It also provides a comprehensive page of information on its portable sportsbook with further explanation on the bet types and available sports.

The Casino

Game Variety:

When it comes to Microgaming, you’re going to have some fun options in the slot banks, especially with progressive jackpots. It’s a leader in those money-making slots, and regular players seek out titles like Mega Moolah and Major Millions specifically by name as they know that these games come with big payout potential. The variety elsewhere is A-OK as well, with plenty of tables and live dealer games, and some video poker, but specialty games, aside from keno, didn’t show up on our radar.

Library Size: Approx. 400

Software providers include:

  • Microgaming
  • Evolution Gaming
  • Scientific Games

You’ve got Microgaming in the casino and Evolution Gaming in the live casino, so the software is some of the best. The website renovation showcases each of the games in the best possible light. The only thing we experienced was some loading lag time on Android devices.

  • Mobile CasinoThe formatting is great, and plenty of games appear on a mobile device but, again, we did experience a bit of a delay in loading the pages which may have just been a temporary thing. For the most part, mobile play should more than suffice. The colors are crisp and clear, and all of the important and helpful information is included in this format as well.

While this site is information-packed on everything from what types or games are included in each section and how to play them, it only provides a sampling of titles for anyone who is not registered. You have to be an official player on spinpalace.com to view the entire collection.

For anyone who knows about Microgaming though, you’ll be familiar with the types of games and many of the popular titles provided by this software giant.

Summary

Before we even pulled up Spin Palace, we went back and visited some player forums as the site was initially part of the Palace Group which had a bit of controversy following it. When you dig in deeper, though, it seems that most of the issues that came up all revolved around Wagershare, its previous affiliate program, and a group called Buffalo Partners which, by all accounts, is no longer associated with Spin Palace or CityViews sites.

It’s important to put it out there though as some comments aren’t quite complimentary, but there are also plenty of players who stepped up and talked about a great experience using this casino. Keep in mind that the sportsbook is new, so there won’t be a lot of discussions yet regarding the betting service but, nowhere did we find any recent consistent and troubling information regarding player payouts aside from some that took longer to process than others.

The new Spin Palace is an impressive site that provides a well-rounded online gaming experience. You’ve got slots, video poker, table games, live dealer tables, and a sportsbook that also includes a racebook and the increasingly popular e-sports.

Bonus seekers may be somewhat disappointed as there is a welcome bonus, actually a three-part package for casino players as well as a free bet welcome offer for sports bettors, but that’s where the buck stops. There isn’t a packed promotional menu featuring reloads and other offers. We’re in agreement with a streamlined program because it eliminates a lot of problems that players run into using these types of offers. Those rollover requirements that this and any site imposes can be so problematic, especially for newbies.

It would be nice to see something of a truly value-added nature, though. Some raffles or fun contents that don’t rely on deposits but are tied into game play are always welcome additions and enhance the overall experience, but they certainly don’t make or break a casino.

We do need to say that, players who mainly look for promotions should check out the loyalty club as it does include tournaments and monthly bonuses in its list of player perks.

When we get into the banking area, it’s a mixed bag. There’s a detailed page of options, but the only information provided is whether or not you can use them for deposits and withdrawals. It would be helpful to have details of minimum and maximum transactions and a fee schedule.

We also had to take a stab at the approval timing as it’s not publicly posted either. Based on feedback from other sites and players, we estimate that internal approvals fall in the one to three business day range, but then for methods like credit and debit cards, there will be additional delays for external processing.

Stepping into the casino, you really can’t go wrong when you use Microgaming as a sole provider as opposed to some other companies. It has the reputation behind it as well as the games that so many online players specifically seek out when they consider using one site over another. There are some of the newer casinos that now opt to use dozens of companies, and we prefer that because it provides a well-rounded collection but, if you have to go with one, Microgaming is that one.

Although there are plenty of slot and table games, the progressive jackpots stand out in this casino. There’s a good number of them, and they’re also available for mobile play. Some of these games have turned players into instant millionaires, so it’s exciting to be able to get in the running.

The live casino suite is provided by Evolution Gaming, the company responsible for so many of the live dealer tables on probably hundreds of sites. It specializes in these tables, so the experience will be top-notch for anyone who prefers a real person leading the way.

While the sportsbook is new, it certainly has plenty of betting opportunities already. It was a well thought through addition with an easy review of lines and a quick one-button transfer to the in-play area.

Although casino players don’t have any daily offers, the Spin Specials can be a significant benefit to punters that check in often and look for the best value. We’ll take enhanced odds over a deposit match offer any day!

Verdict

Early reviews on the newly revamped Spin Palace seem to indicate that it’s a success. The stylish site provides an upscale atmosphere whether you prefer casino or sports betting. As a dedicated Microgaming casino, many of the most popular slot games today can be found on both the full site and mobile version. The sportsbook offers plenty of pre-game and in-play lines, and most players should be okay with a €10.000 maximum withdrawal allowed daily. If you haven’t checked out Spin Palace in awhile, it may be worth a revisit.

    Secondly, bettors who relish table games have the luxury of selecting more than forty Blackjack variations such as multi-deck and single variants, in addition to multi-hand Blackjack. Furthermore, instead of double-zero American Roulette with a house edge of 5.25%, the Roulette fans at this online casino can delight in a house edge of 2.625% by partaking in the single-zero gameplay options.

    Live & Gold Series Games

    Thirdly, there are the Gold Series games which are available in 3D, alongside the Live Croupier options. Therefore, contrary to seeing an animation of blackjack poker hands being dealt, or the roulette wheel alongside its ball in motion, you get to witness the action play out in real time with the incorporation of actual gaming materials.

Nonetheless, there is a playthrough requirement of 50X the bonus. While these conditions may be a tad bit on the higher side, there is one advantage: the bonus plus your deposit, is taken into consideration when determining the playthrough, and once the betting is complete, the deposit, acquired winnings and bonus are yours for keeps. If you are a low-limit punter, and thereby cannot afford the level of gameplay which the highest bonus requires, then it is advisable to make lower deposits and take smaller promotions.

    You should also keep in mind that Jackpot City imposes restrictions on the percentage of your wager on specific gameplay options which may be utilized for the compilation of cash for bets. For example, 100% of your stakes on Keno, Scratch Cards, and Slots, contribute towards your points. Examples are inclusive of most variants of Blackjack which account for 10%, whereas other casino games such as Baccarat, Roulette, and Craps are excluded from the Loyalty Program.

Ignition review (Loris)

Put your keys in the ignition and warm up your engine, because I’m about to take you on a scenic tour of Ignition Casino. We won’t be racing, though, so don’t dart off too fast. It’s better to take your time and take in the scenery when reading an online casino review. It gives you a better overall view before you make a decision.

As with my other reviews, I’ll cover just about everything you could possibly want to know here, and I’ll keep it real all the way. Once we cross the finish line, I’ll either give you a green light or a big red stop sign, and then you can make your own mind up about whether you want to play here or not.

So, is Ignition Casino a top-of-the-line casino site or a clapped-out old banger? Let’s put the pedal to the metal and find out!

Is Ignition Casino Legit?

Ignition Casino is definitely legitimate. I know so for the following reasons:

  • It works with reputable, well-known gaming companies which have been around for a long time
  • There are no major player complaints about Ignition Casino on popular gambling web forums
  • This site runs on a secure, SSL-encrypted connection. Visit it, and you’ll see the word “secure” in green beside the web address

About Ignition Casino

I like to provide some “key info” about each casino I review and the operator behind it. This stuff might not be the most exciting information, but it does help build a picture of the sort of operation each casino is.

Operator Lynton Limited
Year Established 2016
Other Sites Owned Slots.lv, Cafe Casino, Bovada, Bodog
License(s) Kahnawake Gaming Commission
Payouts Verified By N/A

Ideally, I’d like to see payouts verified by an independent third-party like eCOGRA, but I know the Kahnawake Gambling Commission can be trusted, so I’m not overly concerned. These guys have shut down more than one casino before, so you can rest easy in knowing that Ignition Casino isn’t a scam site.

It should also be mentioned that being associated with top US-friendly gambling sites like Bodog and Bovada is a big positive. These sites are at the top of the industry for a reason, and although this is a new brand under the same firm, it’s encouraging to see them linked to this site.

As far as design goes, it’s as user-friendly as I’ve come across. The orange, white, and dark grey color scheme works perfectly, and the layout is intuitive and easy to use. All of the main game categories are listed on a left-side menu (sticky menu on mobile), and there’s a useful search feature if you’re looking for a specific game.

Who Can and Can’t Play at Ignition Casino?

Players from the UK and the following states within the USA are prohibited: DE, MD, NJ, NV.

Apart from those states, all other players from the USA are welcome, which is somewhat refreshing given that so many casino sites don’t accept Americans.

The Good Stuff

Good Stuff
The first thing I do every day when I wake up is find a few reasons to be positive, and I approach my day that way. I like to do the same with casino reviews. While I won’t let casinos off the hook for any shenanigans, it always helps to start thing off on a positive note.

USA Players Accepted

Regulations mean that American players are locked out of thousands of online casinos, which is a frustrating experience, to say the least.

Ignition Casino doesn’t care what Uncle Sam has to say about the situation. They fully welcome American players.

Huge Bonus Offers

I always enjoy a freebie, and I particularly enjoy sizable ones. Ignition Casino definitely offers that, with two huge welcome offers and weekly deposit matches which blow most of the competition out of the water.

Usually, big bonuses come with larger wagering/playthrough requirements. That isn’t the case here. In fact, the wagering terms are smaller than average.

Bitcoin Accepted

If you haven’t already at least tried using Bitcoin, you might be what’s called a “late adopter” in the S curve of tech adoption. I converted back in 2017, and I’ve never looked back since.

Obviously, this point doesn’t affect those who still think of Bitcoin as “funny internet money,” but more and more of us are using the best crypto out there, so I thought I would mention it here.

The Bad Stuff

Bad Stuff
In keeping with the truth, there are a few things which I would like to see improved at Ignition Casino.

What’s missing from this site? The following.

No Live Casino Games

I know, I know, it’s a lot of fun to play blackjack or roulette with the type of drop-dead gorgeous dealers you are now accustomed to thanks to live dealer games.

Sadly, you won’t be able to enjoy the company of such striking strangers here. There are no live games at Ignition Casino.

No Sportsbook/App

The rush that comes with watching a few football bets come in, followed by winning several hands of blackjack back to back, is one I freely admit I’m hooked on. However, sports betting isn’t available at this site, so do be aware of that.

Of course, you could always play casino games here and have a sportsbook open on another tab, so it really isn’t a big deal.

Game Selection

Games

What use would a casino be if it offered only a handful of games or lots of subpar ones? Not much, in my experience!

Games are just as important as banking and customer service, and a casino without both a complete selection and quality options won’t get much of a rating from me.

In this section, I’ll show you exactly what Ignition Casino offers category by category. If you’re looking for a specific type of game, feel free to jump ahead to that category.

Sign Up Now for a $2,000 Welcome Bonus

Software

You’ll find games here from Rival, RealTime Gaming, Revolver Gaming, and a few from Makitone Gaming.

I had to look up Makitone Gaming, as it isn’t a name I see every day. However, after researching it, I have no worries or concerns. It’s just an up-and-comer which has yet to establish a name for itself, and its games are excellent. I suggest checking out Koi Garden to see for yourself what this firm is made of.

Slots

The thought of an online casino without at least a couple hundred slots is a bizarre one in this day and age. Slots make up the majority of the games at all online casino sites, and this one is no exception.

I suggest checking out the following games:

  • Robin Hood
  • Good Fishes
  • Loco 7’s
  • A Switch in Time
  • All Aboard
  • As the Reels Turn
  • Caesar’s Triumph
  • El Luchador
  • Heavyweight Gold
  • Derby Dollars
  • Cleopatra’s Coins
  • Gladiator Wars
  • Jack the Ripper
  • Opera Night
  • Costume Party
  • Lion’s Roar
  • One Million Reels BC
  • Reel Blood
  • Spy Game
  • Wild Carnival
  • Tahiti Time
  • Reel Party
  • Goldenman
  • And many more!

I counted 200+ slots at this casino, but more are being added as they’re released, so this number will continually be revised upwards.

I love the fact that all of the slots can be played in “practice” mode. There were several games here which I had never come across before, so I used this option to dig into them and check them out without risking my own money. I suggest you do the same.

Video Poker

If you’re like me, meaning you love nothing more than to spend several hours going head-to-head with a mindless machine to try and extract cash from it by playing a game you actually stand a fair chance of winning, then there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy video poker.

I’ve been playing this game since I first became aware of casino games, so it takes a fair amount to impress me. I think the selection here is decent, but it’s not mind-blowing by any means.

You can play:

  • Bonus Deuces Wild
  • Bonus Poker
  • Bonus Poker Deluxe
  • Deuces Wild
  • Double Bonus Poker
  • Double D Bonus Poker
  • Double Jackpot Poker
  • Jacks or Better
  • Joker Poker
  • Loose Deuces

The games load quickly and are what you would expect – they play smoothly and are indistinguishable from many other video poker games out there, which is a good thing, in my view.

You can check them out in demo mode or can play for between $0.05 and $5 per hand. Some multi-hand variants are available if you want to add a little spice to the rice and get a buzz going.

Table Games

Great casino games like blackjack and roulette have been around since as long as anyone can trace back, and there’ll likely be someone spinning the roulette wheel or playing a hand of cards when the apocalypse finally goes down.

Ignition Casino offers the following table and card games in digital format:

  • Classic Blackjack
  • Single Deck Blackjack
  • Double Deck Blackjack
  • European Blackjack
  • Perfect Pairs
  • Zappit Blackjack
  • Baccarat
  • Craps
  • Classic Craps
  • American Roulette
  • European Roulette
  • Let ‘Em Ride
  • Tri Card Poker
  • Caribbean Stud Poker
  • Caribbean Hold’em Poker
  • Pai Gow Poker
  • Three Card Rummy
  • Roll the Dice

This represents a solid selection of games, offering something for everyone. I also like that they can be arranged/displayed by category using a drop-down menu on the main menu tab.

As with the other games here, you can check these out in demo mode to get a feel for them and practice your strategies. You’ll have a fun balance of $1,000,000 to begin with.

Once you’re ready to bet for real money, you can risk between $1 and $1,000, depending on the game you’re playing. Always gamble responsibly where table limits this high are concerned.

Other Games

Bingo, keno, Sudoku, and several arcade games are available if you fancy a break from the classic casino games.

Note that unlike many sites, there are multiple variants of each of the above games. For example, you can play European, American, 80Ball, GoGo, and several themed variants of bingo.

Since most sites think of the “other” games section as an afterthought, this could be a great site if you enjoy these games.

My Favorite Find at Ignition Casino

Craps

I really enjoyed playing craps at Ignition Casino. This is a game far too many online casinos overlook, and I’m glad this one has decided to include it. I’ll freely admit I don’t understand every single bet and possible outcome on the craps table, even after playing it many times. However, I have a heck of a lot of fun figuring it out and experimenting with the various craps strategies I’ve picked up over the years, and I think the sharp, smooth craps game at Ignition Casino deserves a mention here.

Poker

Ignition Casino has an excellent poker section, but it deserves more detail than what I can get into in this review. Luckily, we’ve already written a page on their poker offerings, and you can check out our entire comprehensive Ignition Poker review here.

Promotions

Promos

Welcome bonuses are always appreciated, and Ignition Casino offers several. You’ll be able to claim them whether you’re using regular currency or Bitcoin.

Here’s a rundown of what’s on offer.

Casino Welcome Bonus

This offer is easy to understand, which is how I like them. You can claim a 100% deposit match up to the value of $1,000.

This is a one-off bonus, meaning you can only claim it once, so it’s best to maximize it if you do go for it. Also be aware that it’s subject to 25x wagering/playthrough requirements.

Bitcoin Welcome Bonus

If you want to play casino games with Bitcoin, you’ll be happy to learn that you can claim a 200% deposit match up to the value of $2,000. You’ll need to use the Ignition Casino bonus code IGBITCOIN200 to do so.

The bonus is a one-time deal, meaning you’ll only be able to claim it based on your first deposit, so it’s best to max it out. Once you claim it, it’s subject to 25x wagering/playthrough requirements before it can be withdrawn.

Bitcoin Reload Bonuses

Each time you make a deposit using Bitcoin, you can claim a 25% deposit match up to the value of $1,000.

You can claim these bonuses an unlimited number of times, meaning each and every time you deposit, if you like.

Do keep in mind that the bonus cash is subject to 25x wagering/playthrough requirements, as are most other bonuses at Ignition Casino.

Weekly Casino Reload Bonuses

If you just want to stick to using good old greenbacks, rather than Bitcoin, you can claim weekly reload bonuses of 100% up to $100.

Each weekly reload bonus will have its own bonus code and wagering requirements. These will change from week to week, so be sure to check the terms before accepting each offer.

Tell A Friend

If you know a few friends who like to gamble, Ignition Casino will give you up to $100 if you let them know and they decide to sign up.

You’ll get your own Ignition Casino referral link, and once your friend signs up and makes a deposit, you’ll get a 200% bonus up to the value of $100.

This bonus is subject to the same 25x wagering requirements as the others at this casino.

These are some mighty tempting bonuses, and I for one would take all of them. I was expecting the wagering/playthrough requirements to be a lot higher given the large amounts on offer and was pleasantly surprised to find such competitive terms. They’re all worth taking, so go ahead and pick the one you like most to get started.

Banking

I never overlook the banking section of an online casino. Experience has taught me that this area is crucially important, and far too many players get their fingers burned by not paying attention to it.

You’ll be able to deposit and withdraw by cards and Bitcoin. This is okay, but I’d prefer to see some other options like Neteller, Skrill, and Paysafecard.

There are no fees for making either deposits or withdrawals at this casino. The only exception is if you withdraw by check, in which case there’s a $50 fee if you request more than one check in a given month. The first check is always free.

As is clear from the bonuses section above, Ignition Casino does accept Bitcoin. This is a big positive for a crypto enthusiast like myself.

Withdrawal times are between 3-10 business days. You’ll also be expected to provide a copy of a government-issued ID and recent utility bill to prove your identity before most withdrawals will be processed.

There are no predatory, unfair, or concerning clauses in the terms and conditions, which I zeroed in on and checked thoroughly. All is above board here.

VIP Program

VIP

If you like to be rewarded for your loyalty, you’ll be glad to know that there’s an Ignition Casino loyalty program. You earn “miles” (which is only appropriate given the name of this casino) for each real-money bet you make on any game.

As with many casino loyalty programs, there are eight levels to this one. As you climb through the ranks, the rewards get better and better. The rewards program is structured as follows:

  • Steel – At this level, 2,500 miles gets you $1 in bonus cash, and your daily cashback bonus is 6%
  • Chrome – 2,250 miles gets you $1 at this level, and your cashback bonus is 7%
  • Bronze – You’ll only need 2,000 miles to get $1 of bonus cash once you reach this level. Your daily cashback rate jumps to 8%
  • Silver – 1,750 miles gets you $1, and your cashback rate is 9%
  • Gold – You’ll only need 1,500 miles to get $1 at this level, and your cashback rate is 10%
  • Platinum – To get $1 bonus cash at this level, you’ll need 1,250 miles. You’ll also get 11% cashback daily
  • Titanium – 1,000 miles gets you $1 at this level, and your daily cashback rate is 12%
  • Diamond – You’ll also need 1,000 miles to get $1 at the top level, but your cashback rate jumps to 15%

I like that you can’t lose your level at this casino, which definitely isn’t the case at many rival casino sites. That means if you take a break for a few weeks or months, you’ll be able to pick up where you left off.

Customer Service

Getting in touch with the Ignition Casino customer service team can be done via the following methods.

Email – There’s a contact form directly on the website which you can use to reach out. Click the email icon on the main menu bar, and it will pop up on your screen. Expect replies to take up to 24 hours, which means this method is best used for general questions which don’t require fast answers.

Live Chat – The speech bubble icon is always something I like to see, and it’s the one you want to click to use the live chat feature at Ignition Casino. Help is available around the clock, and I was impressed with the fast, courteous answers I received when I inquired about bonus terms and conditions.

Telephone – If you’re not quite at home with digital communication and prefer to pick up the phone and chat with someone, call 1-855-370-0600. Obviously, this is a toll-free number for North Americans. I don’t advise calling it from anywhere else.

The customer service here is on point. This is how it should be done. I had read a player complaint about it before I reviewed this site, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it surpassed my expectations. Bravo, Team Ignition!

Would I Play at Ignition Casino?

I would most certainly play at Ignition Casino, and in fact, I will be doing so going forward.

If you want mammoth bonuses, lots of high-quality games, fair banking, and professional customer support, I can recommend this casino.

However, I don’t think you should just take my word for it. The best way to decide if this is the casino for you is to check it out for yourself!

Bovada review (LORIS)

Bovada is one of the bastions of modern poker. When US poker was in shambles, the operator stood tall and was the rock in which the waves of regulations crashed. Today, the website has completely reinvented itself, appealing to an international crowd, boasting stellar security, a brand-new downloadable client, a string of excellent promotions, and much, much more. At a glance, Bovada is more than meets the eye:

  • Iron-clad security making it the safest card room to play at
  • Thousands of people available in online play
  • $3.5 million guaranteed in one-off tournaments
  • Regular $100,000 events
  • Day-specific events
  • Secure banking options

The company has come a long way. They have completely reinvented their look creating an intutive platform that works from any device. Compatible with Mac, Windows and mobile devices, the website is an absolute delight to play on. Now that we have been introduced to the general offer, let’s focus on the specifics in our in depth Bovada Poker review. There’s so much to talk about, so we better not waste time.

Being Lucky with Promotions at Bovada

Bovada doesn’t make a big display of promotions. They are there, but they apply for aspects of the gaming experience that are not necessarily related to poker. Nevertheless, rest assured that Bovada does well by you and you will be on the receiving end of a 100% poker bonus on your first deposit up to $500, which is quite a bit to get you started at the felt.

Bovada Promotions

The bonus is quite simple to obtain, too. All you need is to join the website and make an eligible bonus. In order to play, you will need to download Bovada Poker and install it, or grab your phone and plunge into the game.

Keep in mind that you will have 30 days to clear the bonus. You will be credited the bonus upon reaching a certain level, which is calculated in points. You can quickly use the table we’ve posted here as reference.

Depending on the type of game you are participating in, you will be eligible for points in two distinct ways. If you play a regular game, you will earn points when you invest into a “raked pot”, as per the chart here:

Bovada Poker Rake

For tournament games, things are slightly different. You will obtain 3 points for every $1 you spend on covering tournament fees.  It is really that simple, so it won’t take you long to figure out what the best games and tournaments for you are to join.

If you don’t have too much time on your hands, do remember to benefit from this welcome bonus, but to the point where you can realistically cover the conditions for a maximum return.

The Bonus Code – Not Really En Vogue

The bonus codes at Bovada are not popular for their poker client. They may still apply for some of the promotions available in the other facilities of the website, such as the sports book and casino, but it may be some time before you come across the need to punch one in. I would say, with Bovada Poker bonus codes are very rare, only use the ones provider by this company itself, as other ones from affiliate sites are probably not going to give you anything extra. Nevertheless, rest assured that we will always keep you posted about the latest poker promotions that emerge here.

Clearing the Bonus

Clearing the bonus is not always easy, but thankfully there is a way. Zone Poker seems to be quickest way to clear the bonus at Bovada. The relatively low stake games ($0.25/$0.50) can fetch you up to 15-20 poker points per table within the hour.

Zone Poker – the Best Way to Clear Your Bonus

Keep in mind that you need to actually have the associated skills and understanding of the Zone Poker game to be able to beat your opponents at a decent rate. If you can master the entry-levels, though, you will have no trouble clearing the bonus a dozen or so points per table per hour.

Depending on your skill level his may take you a while. It can be reduced by a few days by doing some serious gaming. In any event, the low entry level is quite accommodating, so don’t worry about any unexpected developments.

Bovada’s Excellent Games and Tournaments

Bovada comes with quite the solid offer when it comes to its game variations. At this moment you can choose between the already mentioned Zone Poker, Sit & Go Tournaments and Jackpot Sit & Go’s. Besides from that you will find the usual poker games like Texas Hold’em, Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi/Lo.

The Game Variations at Bovada Poker

As you can see in the screenshot above, tinkering with the filters is quick and easy. If you are interested only in a specific type of game, you can quickly make sure that you only see the tables you would like to play at.

Beyond Zone poker, we definitely enjoy two exclusive features, the Quick Seat and the Anonymous Tables. Though these definitely weren’t accepted well back in 2011 when the website first introduced them, nowadays they have come to be held in high esteem by the poker community.

Now that Bovada’s reputation about their anonymous table has been proven, gamers appreciate the ability to play without being followed or tracked on purpose, or, for example, be “grieved”, a term that is used to describe aggressive behavior against a player.

As to the specific types of play, we definitely recommend trying to qualify for the Golden Spade Poker Open (GSPO) with a total prize pool of $3.5 million.

If you feel in a competitive mood on a Monday, you can rely on the so-called Mad Monday tournaments which will be a quick gateway to an immense competition. Every now and then, the competition will change and the prize pool will most likely grow. By now the website has a solid player base, which allows it to scoop up any money raked from fees and pour them back into maintenance and even better tournament opportunities.

A Client Worth Downloading

If you are looking for an exceptional poker client, Bovada is it. You will be quite pleased to know that the software run spotlessly on both your Mac and Windows-powered computers and devices. There is no stopping one of the world’s most popular online poker sites when it comes to compatibility.

The interface is delightful and it makes no difference which OS you have. The visuals are intutive and easy to navigate. Most importantly, it doesn’t lack a single thing. You can customize everything you feel uncomfortable with via the “Settings” button, or you can jump straight to bonuses and see what treats Bovada has prepared for you.

 

If you ever need to find all your bonuses in one place, there is a separate built-in bonus feature to allow you and enjoy yourself a quick bonus offer. Again, the poker section doesn’t rely on bonuses so much, so don’t be concerned if promotions are less common.

What you should be interested in are the tournaments, there are plenty to keep you busy. You will notice that there are four languages to choose from when it comes to the user interface and you can get hold of the customer support agents via e-mail.

If you are interested in obtaining an account overview, this is also quite easy by jumping to the “My Account” tab.

The sports book is very pleasant to the eye as it offers you a lighter interface (nothing that tinkering with the settings of the client couldn’t fix, though), where you can read right through the odds. There are many competitions to pick from.

The Casino – Care to Go for a Spin?

Bovada’s casino is free to play and it comes with excellent gaming options.

However, there are some great financial rewards to reap, so you might as well give it a fair consideration.

Banking – Easy and Client-Friendly

Most online poker rooms love to send you back to their website to deposit or withdraw your money, but this can be done via the Bovada client just as easily. Speaking of banking, we ought to take a closer look at each method when it comes to funding your account or claiming the spoils.

Bovada Poker's Deposit Methods

Deposit Methods at Bovada Poker

Bovada has found it best to work with a select few number of operators. As a result, you won’t get dozens of available cash options, but the ones you have available to you will be every bit as useful and secure as you could have ever hoped for.

You can pick from Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and a credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express). As a rule of thumb, Amex usually does well, but it might fail to clear. Don’t worry, though, because your money will always be safe with any sort of online transaction through their secure payment operator.

The maximum deposit amounts are $1,500 for a card and $5,000 for Bitcoin respectively.

There are no fees that apply, although Bovada may need to charge you 5.9% of the sum in case of depositing with a credit card, which the operator might be willing to cover sometimes.

Withdrawing Quickly and Reliably

Withdrawing your funds from Bovada is quite easy to do. You can generally use a handful of ways to go about it, either by tapping into cryptocurrencies or using a check by courier. Familiarity with cryptocurrencies is necessary here, which may not be your favorite part, but it helps. The good part of using cryptocurrencies for your gambling transactions is that most of the times the poker rooms offer an extra bonus because of using Bitcoin. It’s cheaper for them than having to pay a percentage to a payment provider for instance for credit card payments.
