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

Audio and Video Quality:

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.

    JackpotCity casino review

    Without a doubt, Jackpot City is a veteran in the competitive world of online gaming, having penetrated the industry in 1998. Since then, this multi-time winner of awards such as ‘Best Online Gaming’ (among others) has evolved into one of the Internet casino giants.

    Given the stiff rivalry in the sector, any casino which can maintain successful operations for as long as JackpotCity is evidently doing a myriad of things right, more so, based on the fact that more than three million punters have registered an account with this platform.

    Once you successfully log in to the homepage, the veritable city of casinos, one skyscraper after another, will immediately spark your interest. Hence, Jackpot City is indeed like a city, which explains how enormous it is. Therefore, if you are a player who luxuriates in a variety of slots, table games and so much more, then this gaming option may be an ideal selection for you.

    Unrivaled Security and Fairness – 10/10

    Jackpot City online casino ascertains utmost confidentiality, safety, and privacy with their top of the range SSL Encryption technology. Furthermore, the platform has the renowned e-COGRA stamp of approval, thereby ensuring 100% fairness in gameplay, prompt payouts, and responsible casino conduct. Hence, Jackpot City is a cadre of the casinos which do not scam its players or allow them to cheat in any way.

    Given that the virtual casino has a license from the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta in addition to being regulated by the European Union (EU), this validates it as being a longtime business that is legit, giving participants fair treatment.

    Impeccable Software – 9/10

    As you know, Microgaming is one of the preeminent gaming software providers across the globe. Thus, it powers Jackpot City with the latest advancements in cutting-edge technology, hence delivering consistent superiority to registered users. While the platform may not be the most sophisticated casino on the web, its graphics, animations, and sound effects are on par with the best and newest rivals on the market. As such, the Jackpot City download and installation process, in addition to setting up your account for access to the multitude of games takes a few minutes. What is more is that the downloaded and installed version offers gamblers the plethoras of alternatives for the customization of game sounds, background music, speed, and other features.

    Alternatively, you may relish the gameplay in the ‘no download’ mode which has a tad bit fewer games to pin down but provides compatibility with any web browser. Thus, this brings compatibility of the gameplay alternatives to the forefront.

    A Vast Assortment of Games – 10/10

    Jackpot City Casino Canada has more than 400 games from which you can make a selection and are inclusive of over 300 categories of slot machines. As such, this is more than the options you would find in the traditional brick and mortar casinos and certainly includes titles which are new in the market. Moreover, the gaming site even caters to games which include country, as well as regional-specific, such as UK-style pub fruit slots, alongside Australian pokies.
    Jackpot City casino games

    Slots

    Firstly, for those who can never get enough slot machines to play, Jackpot City is ideal since the lucrative Welcome Bonus is tailor-made for slot gameplay. With an incredible choice that is inclusive of virtually every slot game invented, running the gamut from progressive slots, three and five-reel machines and mega spin, players have the convenience of pinning down the ideal slot gameplay alternatives which tickle their fancy.

    Jackpot City review unveils that since the platform is part of the Microgaming shared progressive network, when you partake in the top slot with jackpots, for example, Treasure Nile Hit and King Kashalot, they are quite enormous, that they are indeed life-changing.

    Table Games

    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. Hence, this makes the gambling experiences strikingly similar to playing in a brick and mortar casino.

    Lastly, if you encounter some challenges in the selection of what game to play, you can take advantage of the demo (free play) option, before putting your hard-earned money on the line.
    Hence, it is safe to say that at this gambling website, there is something for everyone, irrespective of game preference, skill level, or bankroll.

Additionally, if you pen down a query whose answer is only known by you, then you automatically add an extra layer of safety to your information. It is also mandatory to select a username alongside a currency in which you wish to place your stake levels. In doing so, you will not only avoid the monotonous currency conversion process but also the loss of real money.
    2. Verify Your Identity – It entails the provision of valid documents which support the above-submitted information.

    Plethoras of Bonuses and Promotions – 9/10

    Jackpot City free gambling website offers new Canadian players among others, generous bonuses and promotional offers. The most significant of them are described below.

    BONUS CODE No code
    REDEEM First four deposits
    MIN. DEPOSIT C$ 10
    MAX. DEPOSIT C$ 1600 (C$ 400 per deposit)
    MIN. CASHOUT C$ 10
    MAX. CASHOUT 6x deposit amount

    Welcome Offer

    The welcome bonus of as much as $1600. It comes in the form of a 100% match on your first and second deposits and must be utilized within a week of registration. 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. Hence, Jackpot City reviews depict that the Welcome Bonus is only useful for the slot fans.

    Loyalty Program

    Upon numerous successful Jackpot City logins and regular gameplay, members receive an entry into the casino’s Loyalty Program whereby, they receive a myriad of points every time they wager. With the accumulation of these points, they will be able to cash them in for gambling funds. Furthermore, there are Blackjack and Slot Machine tournaments in which you can become a participant, not to mention the available extra spins, drawing entries, and bonuses for gadgets such as Macs, exotic cruises, cars, and so much more.

    Therefore, it is recommended for you to check your emails regularly, to avoid missing out on midweek, alongside weekend match bonuses which are impacted by the previous week’s play.

    Lastly, VIP bettors, including those located in Canada get personal hosts, more lucrative bonuses, other exclusive offers, privileges, and priority banking services.

    Jackpot City Loyalty Program

    Progressive Jackpots

Cafe Casino review (LORIS)

Café Casino is a newer US-facing online casino, launched in April of 2016. Café Casino accepts Bitcoin for deposits and withdrawals. That seems to be the site’s gimmick; that, and the simple fact that they accept real money bets from US customers.

Pros & Cons of Café Casino

Let’s start with the pros – three things about Café Casino that we like:

Large and Varied Game Library

A total of 207 games are available at Café Casino, about half that number also available at their mobile-capable website. We were most excited to see the long list of available blackjack variants. Most US-facing casino sites are so heavy with slot machines, they’re basically useless to those of us that like table games and other contests besides just machine-style gaming.

Good Variety of Bonuses and Promotions

This requires a caveat – for a site that’s just launched in the past few weeks, Café Casino has a decent bonus lineup, and several of those bonuses have decent playthrough requirements and other terms and conditions.

Fast Payout Times

We have to make another caveat – they have really fast posted payout times. That means that we can’t verify whether or not the times they post are accurate. We haven’t had a chance to make a withdrawal ourselves, and we can’t find any reviews or notes from actual customers who have. Still, getting a payment within ten business days is good timing for US customers, most of whom are used to times much longer than that.

Now for the cons – three things about the site that we don’t like:

Limited Deposit and Withdrawal Options

You can deposit using a credit card or Bitcoin, and that’s it. Your withdrawal options aren’t much more varied, with the addition of a paper check delivered via courier. We get that it’s tough to offer a varied lineup of payment options to US customers, considering the restrictions of the UIGEA bill. Still, it needs to be said. You don’t have a lot of ways to send money to and from your Café Casino account.

Open to US Customers Only

This isn’t a big deal if you live in the US. But millions of casino fans around the world won’t be able to access Café Casino, and for them, that’s a bummer. There’s something else to consider when you’re dealing with a US-facing gambling site – why would a site want to do business in such a difficult market? It’s easy to imagine nefarious reasons for doing so, but the truth is probably very simple. The US market is relatively untapped, thanks to the very UIGEA restrictions that made us a little suspicious of Café Casino to begin with.

Licensure by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission

The Kahnawake Gaming Commission is not one of the most respected names in online gaming licensure. Our suspicions about the Kahnawake Gaming Commission have a lot to do with Kahnawake itself – an invented territory that’s just large enough to accommodate facilities for the licensing of gaming operations. Kahnawake licenses a huge list of online gambling interests, not all of which are above-board businesses. When you see headlines like the Quebec Supreme Court protecting Kahnawake from prosecution by federal authorities, you get nervous. It’s not that Kahnawake’s licenses are known to be fraudulent. It’s just that they’re not anywhere near as reputable as names like Alderney, Gibraltar, or the UK.

Below, you’ll find more detailed coverage of each of Café Casino’s five game categories:

Cafe Casino Mini Logo

Games

Slots Slots

The largest category of games at Café Casino is slots – they know their audience, don’t they? US players love slots. They’re by far the most popular way to gamble in US casinos. To that end, Café has a list of 102 slot games broken up into seven categories:

  • Rival SlotsAll of the slot games produced by Rival are hosted in this category. You can play classic Rival titles like Milk the Cash Cow, So 80’s, and Arabian tales. All told, this is the largest sub-section of slot games at the site, as Rival is the primary provider of software to Café Casino.
  • i-SlotsSome of Café Casino’s Rival slots are also available in this category, consisting exclusively of Rival’s famous multi-reel and multi-payline video slots in the i-Slots series.
  • ProgressivesCafé Casino hosts every single active Rival progressive slot:
  • Birds of Fury
  • Cash Money Mermaids
  • Desert Kingdom
  • Dino Island
  • DJ Moo Cow
  • Dragon Princess
  • Dragons
  • Food Fight
  • El Luchador
  • Gladiator Wars
  • Hercules The Immortal
  • Indiana Jane
  • Jack the Ripper
  • Invasion
  • Aztec’s Treasure
  • One Million Reels BC
  • Money Magic
  • Major Moolah
  • Strike Gold
  • Real SeriesA set of RTG five reel slots from that company’s popular Real Series. Includes games like Cleopatra’s Gold, Ronin, Football Frenzy, and Goldbeard.
  • Five ReelAll of the site’s five reel slots are gathered in one easy to find place.
  • Three ReelAll of the site’s three reel slots are gathered in one easy to find place.
  • Video SlotsAll of the sites slots with video features are gathered in one easy to find place.
Games Blackjack Games

An impressive list of six blackjack variants starts your journey with table games at Café Casino:

  • BlackjackThis is a 6-deck game that accepts wagers between $1 and $500.
  • Double Deck BlackjackThis is a 2-deck game that accepts wagers between $10 and $250.
  • European BlackjackThis is a 6-deck game that accepts wagers between $1 and $500.
  • Perfect PairsThis is a 6-deck game that accepts wagers between $1 and $500.
  • Single Deck BlackjackThis is a 1-deck game that accepts wagers between $25 and $300.
  • Zappit BlackjackThis is an 8-deck game that accepts wagers between $1 and $500.
Table GamesTable Games

Café Casino hosts nine games in its Table Games category. They are:

  • BaccaratThis is a traditional version of baccarat, played with six decks and a 5% commission, paying 9:1 for a tie bet, and the player is forced to hit on totals of five or less. Your wagers are limited to these denominations – 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100. This isn’t a particularly attractive version of the game, with garish colors and old-looking graphics. We were also surprised to find no mini-baccarat game, as you’ll often find at Rival-powered casinos.
  • Caribbean Hold’emCaribbean Hold’em is casino-style poker. Technically, this is a version of Casino Hold’em in which the ante bet pays even money only if the dealer’s hand doesn’t qualify. Don’t forget the progressive side bet, just $1 at a time for a shot at a huge progressive payday.
  • Caribbean Stud PokerThink of this game as five-card stud played against the house instead of against other poker players. This is Rival’s version of the original “house-banked game,” the first game designed to attract both poker players and slot fans back to the casino’s table game section.
  • CrapsRival’s version of the classic dice game. There’s nothing unique about this variant – it looks a bit dated, like all of Rival’s table games.
  • European RouletteAnother Rival table game that follows all the traditional rules. European Roulette has one fewer space on the spinning wheel than its American counterpart, and that makes all the difference in odds. Roulette players who know their way around a house edge calculator only play Euro Roulette. So it’s nice that Café Casino included a version of the game in their main library.
  • Let ‘Em RideAnother casino poker game, Let ‘Em Ride introduces the concept of community cards to the “poker against the house” game.
  • American RouletteAmerican Roulette is the game as it is usually played in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. This game has one additional space, compared to European Roulette, so its odds are way worse. You should only play this game if you have a particular fondness for the American version of the game, or if you like playing with longer odds, for some reason.
  • Tri Card PokerThis is Rival’s version of the classic casino poker game called Three Card Poker. This is a fast-paced and simplified version of poker played against the house, and includes a mandatory side wager on a separate game called PairsPlus.
  • Vegas Three Card RummyWe were surprised to see both Three Card Poker and Vegas Three Card Rummy on the same library at Café Casino. The games are very similar. The only difference between this game and the one we just described is that in the Vegas edition, your goal is to form a lower point total than the dealer.
Video Poker

The selection of just three video poker games is our biggest disappointment with Café Casino. While most other US-facing casinos host a dozen or more video poker variants, Café Casino is currently only offering the three most common games. That doesn’t allow for much replay value, and the video poker fans on our review staff grew pretty bored with their lineup in well under an hour.

All three of Café Casino’s video poker games accept wagers of between $0.05 and $25 per hand:

  • Deuces WildAs the name implies, this is a variant of video poker in which cards with a 2 rank act as wild cards. This version of Deuces Wild (with a 250-coin payout for a natural royal flush) is not all that popular, and we struggled to find house edge information about it. We know that Deuces Wild games tend to range from a house edge of 91% to just about 101% at the upper end. It looks to us like the pay table weights the game far too much in favor of the top end of the board, which means fewer wins, though generally larger payouts when you do manage to put together a top-board hand. Rival’s video poker games are just as ugly as their table games. The software could really use an update – I felt a bit like I was playing a slot machine handheld game from the 1990s.
  • Jacks or BetterJacks or Better is sort of the godfather of all video poker variants. Rival’s version, as presented here at Café Casino, is as standard issue as they come. Yes, this game has a 9/6 pay table, but it’s not considered a “full-pay” 9/6 game, since the value of the game’s top prize has been reduced big-time. Even so, this game’s pay table indicates an overall house edge of just above 0.7%. That’s not bad, though it’s easy enough to find better Jacks or Better games online, with edges somewhere close to half that, or even better. Gone are the days of +EV Jacks or Better, but surely the designers could do a bit better than 0.7%?
  • Joker PokerJoker Poker is another legacy variant, a game you’ll find in any casino worth your interest. Once again, when we looked into this variant’s pay table, we weren’t all that impressed. The top end of the pay table is once again limited, compared to other popular versions of Joker Poker available online. The Rival designers wanted to push the house edge a bit in favor of the house (surprise, surprise), and the easiest way to do that is to chop the value of the game’s top prize basically in half. Overall, the house edge of this version of Joker Poker, with this particular decapitated pay table, is 1%. You can find Joker Poker games with odds that don’t favor the casino nearly that much at just about every other US-facing casino gambling site.

Café Casino FAQ

Here are some questions I get frequently about the services provided by this site:

Is the mobile version of Café Casino identical to the traditional website?

Café Casino didn’t produce a mobile app – instead, they made a version of their traditional online site that translates well to smartphones and tablets. The mobile version of the site is designed for display on the smaller screen of a mobile gadget, and the games are often tailored to that smaller display size as well. The mobile version of the site offers a limited game library, and limited account access.

What countries are restricted from accessing Café Casino?

The only country that Café Casino does business with is the United States. If you live in any other country, you won’t be allowed to place a bet or even open an account.

Is Café Casino a scam?

Until a casino has been around a few months and builds up a collection of customer reviews and forum posts either defending it or attacking it as a rogue site, it’s hard for us to say definitively that the site is not a rogue operation. Our advice is to do your own research. Call the site and talk to their customer service department. Ask a bunch of questions. Poke around the website for a while. Send lots of emails to customer service through the site’s contact form. And then keep an eye on your account. We’re not saying that the site is a scam or even that it’s suspected of being one – it just doesn’t have a very long history of customer service. It’s tough to find a decent review of the site, much less any indication of whether or not they’re a legitimate gambling website.

How long do withdrawals from Café Casino stay “pending”?

Again, we don’t have a lot of hard data on this question. The site promises that your withdrawal will take between 1 and 10 days, so until we have any evidence to the contrary, we’re going to assume that’s how long you’ll have to wait.

Café Casino has a lot going for it. We love that they’ve put together an interesting library of games that includes a number of variants of classics like blackjack and roulette. And yes, they have a big collection of slots to satisfy the hordes of US-based slot fans. Their use of Rival software provides a long list of games, but it means their library has less replay value than sites that depend on multiple software providers.

Still, we’re always slow to embrace a new gambling site. It doesn’t help that Café Casino is lacking in a few other departments. Their customer service needs an overhaul – how difficult is it to respond to a customer’s email, or install a live chat feature for instant answers? People outside the US won’t care either way – they don’t have access at all, not even our neighbors to the immediate north.

Our advice for people suspicious of new casinos is to simply sit back and wait for reviews to roll in. When you hear from real players, and not just a group of reviewers, you’ll know whether you can trust the site or not. If, on the other hand, you don’t mind taking a little risk to try out a new US-facing gambling site, go ahead and make a small deposit, play a few games, and test the services for yourself. So long as you limit your liability, you don’t have to have very high expectations at all.

Wait and see – there’s no reason to assume that Café Casino is a rogue operator just because they’re new, but if you’re nervous about placing real money bets at a site without much experience, there’s no harm in sitting back and waiting before you make your deposit.

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 Lobby

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.

Bovada Poker's Game Variations

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.

 

Golden Spade Poker Open (GSPO)

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.

Bovada Poker Download

Bovada Poker Download, PC Version: the Tournament Lobby

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.

Mobile Poker – All Systems Go in Bovada

While many poker websites would not have the technical insight to create a reliable online poker solution, Bovada has not struggled in the slightest. All of the offered facilities at Bovada are accessible with a portable device. Whether it’s your smartphone or slick tablet, you have a quick access to the website which will recognize your device and automatically adjust the layout for mobile play.

Nothing detracts from the experience. You can test it from any screen size, and Bovada will still offer you all of its options without having you go through unfamiliar symbols or features. There is really no difference between this and the desktop version and you will be quick to notice how responsive everything is.

Mobile-first solutions are extremely important in today’s market. If you are a gamer who is constantly on the go this means that you should find a reliable way to take you gaming experience with you without any hickups. Look no further, as Bovada will provide you with everything you have ever needed.

Bovada Has it All: Poker, Casino & Sportsbook

Touring the available gaming options will not disappoint. Bovada, like some others is a multi-purposed facility, allowing you to experience the gambling industry in its entirety. Are you a little jaded from playing poker? Then perhaps, it’s time to kick back and watch a football or basketball match. But while at it, would you mind putting down a wager and maybe even earn something extra?

Bovada Sportsbook

Screenshot of Bovada Sportsbook

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. You will never even need to stake real money on the casino if you just want to wind down from poker, thanks to the practice mode. However, there are some great financial rewards to reap, so you might as well give it a fair consideration.

Bovada Casino

The casino games can be directly played within the poker client, too, allowing you to have a quick recluse from the action at the tables. You can also access Bovada’s casino games directly, as the casino has an instant play option on their site.

Whatever you do, you will always have a healthy transaction, allowing you to be on top of your gaming forays in Bovada. If diversity is important, then Bovada has done an exceptional job of introducing to many, varied and worthwhile distractions.

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.
