IN A NUTSHELL

Here’s a massive international site that covers every last detail an online casino needs.

They’ve got an instant play Flash casino going as well as a mobile-adapted version and a downloadable client. The only downside to it is that you can’t download Casino.com for Mac, Apple users will have to be happy with the Flash site.

Their choice of games is impressive. They’ve got hundreds of slots along with a good selection of traditional casino games like blackjack, roulette and baccarat. They’ve also got a neat selection of video poker games. Their supplier is Playtech, which in itself is a guarantee that the games are good quality.

Casino.com is licensed in Gibraltar. Just as much as their suppliers they have to stick to the established rules and regulations there, which include regular audits and the requirement to make gambling at their site fair and responsible. The site also offers links to organizations like GamCare and Gamble Aware.

WELCOME BONUS

Attracting visitors is one thing, getting them to sign up with the site another. Welcome bonuses help here, of course, which is why this site is no exception – their first deposit bonus, which you can claim as soon as you register with Casino.com, is a match bonus that adds 100% to your first deposit, up to a limit of €400.

So for example, if your initial deposit is €200 and the match bonus 100%, the casino will add €200 to your balance. There are rules attached to any kind of bonus; make sure you have a good look at the terms and conditions. Wagering requirements apply.

OTHER BONUSES AND PROMOS

Besides their welcome bonus, the most famous feature here is the Tuesday reload bonus. It grants players a 25% match bonus on up to €400 every Tuesday. As sites are generally running lots of promotions these days, there is a point looking out for the odd Casino.com deposit bonus code floating around on landing and review sites, too.

The Tuesday reload bonus stays the same as far as the percentage is concerned, but the maximum amount increases to €750 across the top-level loyalty tiers (see the Loyalty Program section of this review). Also, make sure you have a closer look at rules and wagering requirements not to miss the right opt-in period.

SOFTWARE PROVIDER

There’s an instant play Flash site, a mobile site and a Casino.com PC download available to players. Across all three of these channels the main software supplier is Playtech. They’ve been around since the early 2000s and have become very popular, in particular with download sites. Their products are known for their quality, and a good thing for players to know is that they usually come with those extra bonus features you won’t get anywhere else.

TOP SLOTS

At several hundred slot games including a dozen progressive jackpots, it simply isn’t possible to cover and review all of them. This is why we’ve taken our pick to bring you the site’s best slots.

Make sure you keep up to speed with what’s going on here – updates to follow.

GAMES SELECTION

Across their three casinos (download, online and mobile) they’ve got a rather impressive selection of games available. There are several hundred slots and dozens of traditional casino games, including Beach Life, Gold Rally, Iron Man II, Queen of the Pyramids and much more. The site’s games come from developer Playtech, who is known for its quality and state-of-the-art work.

JACKPOTS

A lot of the people out to play online at Casino.com will be headed straight for the progressives. This kind of jackpot game comes tied into a vast global network of casino operators and players. Every time somebody places a real-money bet in one of those, part of that bet is added to the overall winning sum.

This means that the jackpots at Casino.com grow very quickly. The more money’s in the pot, the more popular the game gets, and the faster the winning sum grows. If you try to win a jackpot at Casino.com and succeed, a percentage of the win goes straight back into the pot. This is called re-seeding it – this way the jackpot starts out with an impressive sum and attracts players again, and soon will be growing quickly.

We’ll leave it to you to say which is the best jackpot at Casino.com – they’ve got popular greats like Gladiator, Hulk Jackpot and Queen of Pyramids, all of which run up impressive sums on a regular basis.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

To find out how to play at Casino.com you can sign up with their instant play site and run different slots and other games in the practice mode available there. Once you’ve made up your mind and want to play Casino.com for real money, you’ll have to make a deposit. Here’s how it works.

There’s a vast choice of payment methods at Casino.com. A lot of it is connected with your country of residence, so make sure what you go for is available there. Also, you might want to think about the possibility of receiving a payout from the site, so there’s a point picking a service that can shoot the money both ways.

The most traditional way to make a deposit at Casino.com is the bank transfer. Keep in mind though that this usually takes several days to process, which means that your funds will take a while before they show up in your account with the site.

Credit cards are still very popular. This site accepts both Visa and MasterCard. Look out for additional fees that may come with this option; cards cost operators money.

More up-to-date payment methods include e-wallets like Skrill (formerly known as Moneybookers), Neteller and Webmoney. Also, deposits can be made using prepay vouchers like Ukash or the Paysafecard. In any case, have a look at what’s available in your country of residence.

LOYALTY PROGRAM

The loyalty program of Casino.com consists of comp points players collect across five VIP tiers. Players start collecting points as soon as they sign up. Different categories of games contribute to the comp points differently; for a full list see their Loyalty Points page. The five VIP tiers influence the bonus percentage of the Tuesday reload bonus (see Other Bonuses in this review).

MOBILE-ADAPTED

Recently the mobile market has become a force to reckon with. Casino.com as this review is written faces a crowd of millions of mobile users, with tens of thousands of new devices registered every single day. Naturally, they want to have a part of the action, so they’ve come up with their own mobile site.

The Casino.com mobile solution doesn’t rely on an app, but on an adapted website instead. This has the great advantage that several operating systems are covered at once without needing to develop applications for every single one of them. Users out to play the mobile casino at Casino.com don’t have to download and install any additional software.

Availability for different operating systems:

Casino.com for Android – browser-based, runs independently from operating systems

Casino.com for your Windows phone – no reports available, but we assume it should work fine, as it’s software-independent

Casino.com for your iPad – browser-based; the larger screen’s a nice extra

Casino.com for your iPhone – browser-based, works flawlessly
