Casino.com Au Review

Casino.com au Summary

Casino.com au offers the full range of gaming options, including games via download or Flash Player (instant play). A large selection of live dealer games is offered, while Casino.com Mobile offers a much larger percentage of games than many mobile casinos. Both the live casino and mobile casino are areas in which Playtech separates itself from the pack.

Playtech supports all games on the site. Because Playtech has been in the business since 1994, it has more license holders than any other online casino software provider in the market. William Hill and Ladbrokes use Playtech software, so new players might be familiar with the game selection. The most important factor is that Casino.com is a safe, secure, and trusted operator. The site is owned by the Mansion Group, a respected operator in the global gaming market.

Payment Processing Information

Casino.com au Bonus and VIP Rewards

Casino.com au offers a varied and lucrative set of bonus promotions and VIP rewards. Compared to many Australian online casinos, Casino.com has a much more robust set of bonuses and reloads. In the section below, I discuss the bonus offers and other monthly and weekly promotions. Later, I discuss the VIP rewards program on the site, which is called the “Loyalty Points Scheme.”

£3,200 Welcome Bonus

The welcome bonus at Casino.com is £3,200 (or $3,200). The way this works is you get a £400 max bonus on your first deposit. After that, you’ll receive an additional £400 per deposit on your next 7 deposits. On the site, these are referred to as your 7 reload bonuses. Add it all up and you receive a total of £3,200 on your first 8 deposits.

The reload bonuses are weekly offers, meaning you’ll need to make a new deposit each week for the first 7 weeks you are a paid member of Casino.com.

Terms and Conditions

The rollover requirement is 40x the initial deposit, which sounds like a high wagering requirement, but is reasonable. A number of games do not satisfy the playthrough conditions.

The games listed on the short list are seven table games, including Baccarat, Craps, Roulette, Blackjack, Sic Bo, Pontoon, and Pai Gow Poker. Also, several forms of video poker cannot be played to clear the wagering requirement. These include Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, 2 Ways Royal, and Aces and Faces. Also, all Poker games at the Casino.com Poker Room do not satisfy the rollover.

After 30 days of inactivity, all bonus amounts expire in your account. Also, players from China cannot accept bonus offers.

Cash Cow – 1st Deposit Drawing

New depositors are entered into a €10,000 1st Deposit Drawing. You receive an additional ticket in the draw for every €30 deposited into your account on your first deposit. Spend €150 and you’ll receive 5 tickets.

Red v. Black Promotion

Players also receive a Red v. Black promotion each week when making a deposit. Each color represents a different deposit bonus. Red Deposits max out the cash you receive, at the price of having double the rollover requirement. Black Deposits mean you receive half the deposit bonus, but with half the rollover requirement.

Deposit	Match	Max Bonus	Rollover
Red Deposit	100% Match Rate	Up to €400	20x Rollover
Black Deposit	50% Match Rate	Up to €400	40x Rollover

VIP Reload Bonus

New depositors are entered into a €10,000 1st Deposit Drawing. You receive an additional ticket in the draw for every €30 deposited into your account on your first deposit. Spend €150 and you’ll receive 5 tickets.

Exclusive Bonus Offers

VIP players should know that they’ll have exclusive bonuses tailored for them. More details about these rewards can be researched under the category “Your Exclusive Bonuses” on the promotions page. Not much is discussed, because these are exclusive to the VIP and VIP Elite players at Casino.com.

Loyalty Points Scheme

Players earn loyalty points by playing in the online, mobile, and live casinos. Player points are added to their balance at the end of each game. Once collected, players can use the points to buy cash bonuses. The more points that are spent at one time, the more value your points have.

Earning Loyalty Points

The loyalty points program on Casino.com allow points to be accumulated at a different rate for the various games offered. The following list shows how much you have to gamble on a particular game to collect 1 Loyalty Point. If you gamble $20 on a video slot, this equals 1 Loyalty Point. To collect the same 1 Loyalty Point playing Blackjack Switch or Pontoon, you’ll need to wager $200. The formulas are weighted for the games with the lowest house edge to take the longest to build up Loyalty Points.

Once players have points, they spend these to collect cashback bonuses. Casino.com has the software to track every single point, so you’ll never have to be in the dark about how many points you have. Keep in mind that you should spend these points in bunches, because the more points spent, the more value you receive.

Spending Loyalty Points

To redeem points, go the “My Points” tab and click “Claim.” Loyalty Points do not last forever. They are removed after 3 months of inactivity on the site. For the Bronze, Silver, and Gold membership levels, a maximum of $5,000 can be redeemed every month. VIP members can redeem up to $20,000 in bonuses each month, while VIP Elite players have a max limit of $30,000 a month.

Benefits of VIP Membership

Casino.com au Live Dealer Games

Playtech has a European studio and an Asian studio, so Casino.com’s players who prefer live dealers should find dealers who use their language preference. The Euro studio is located in Riga, Latvia. It is one of the oldest live dealer casinos in the world, so the operation is substantial, well-organized, and able to handle most European bets.

The Riga studio has slightly different games, though they focus on traditional European favorites: Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat. At one time, Craps was available, though it seems to be touted less often than it used to be.

Live Blackjack

Live Roulette

Live Baccarat

Live Casino Hold’em

The Asian studio is located in Manila in the Philippines. The live version of Casino.com offers games which are interesting to Asian gamblers, such as Baccarat, Mahjong, Pai Gow, and Sic Bo, as well as blackjack.

Casino.com au Mobile

Mobile players have the full range of gaming options available to them: European Roulette, Blackjack, Video Poker, Slots, and Scratch Cards. Several progressive jackpots are available through the mobile casino. European Roulette, Jacks or Better, Classic Blackjack, Casino Hold’em, Perfect Blackjack, and Jacks or Better Multihand are some of the non-slots available.

Mobile Device Compatibility

Casino.com Mobile apps are designed for iPhone, iPad, and Android users. The list of compatible Apple devices include the iPhone 6, iPhone 6-Plus, iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and 4S, and even iPhone 3. All versions of the iPad should work on the site, including the iPad Air and Mini.

For Android users, all late model devices from the following brand should work: Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG, Nokia, Motorola, Moto G, Acer, Asus, Wiko, Huwei, Defy, and Atrix. Tablets like Sony Xperia, Lenovo Thinkpage, Asus MeMo and Fonepad, Motorola Xoom 2, Aces Iconia, HTC Flyer, and Nexus Series should be compatible.

Those wondering what the mobile slots selection looks like should have no worries. The list of mobile slots available on Casino.com Mobile is only a sampling of what’s available, but includes the following list of games.

Playtech is a world class mobile software developer, so it has the resources to convert dozens of games a year into mobile gaming apps. The mobile casino is going to grow and evolve over time. Most games already use the HTML5 programming language, so Casino.com au mobile games are on the cutting edge of the graphics revolution.

Casino.com au Game Selection

Casino.com au markets itself as having over 100 games, which severely understates the betting content offered on the site. Once you start looking through the lists of video slots, video poker, table games, card games, online blackjack, scratch cards, and arcade games, the number runs into the several hundreds.

Casino.com lists their games in an unorthodox fashion, which might make navigation difficult for some. For clarity, I have preserved Casino.com’s classifications.

Online Slots

Casino.com has 7 categories of online slots. The categories listed on the site are progressive slots, classic slots (3-reel), multi-spin, 5-10 line slots, 15-20 line slots, 25+ line slots, and Marvel Jackpots.

Casino.com Progressive Slots Jackpots

Playtech offers over two dozen online progressive slots jackpots. Most of the games listed below are available at Casino.com au. These progressive slots range from small payouts to huge prizes worth millions of dollars. The following list is ranked from the biggest to smallest progressive jackpots.

SLOT GAME	SLOT Name	PAYOUT
	Beach Life	$2.23 million
	Jackpot Giant	$1.855 million
	Funky Fruits	$1.39 million
	Spamalot: Holy Grail	$929,069
	Marvel Ultimate Power	$539,887
	Cat in Vegas	$486,000

Marvel Comics Licensed Slots

Playtech has invested a lot of money through the years to collect licenses from the Marvel Comics Universe, and the company often designs slot machines when Marvel movies are released.

Captain America: The First Avenger

Daredevil Slots

Ghost Rider

Blade Online Slot

More Marvel Slots

Playtech signed a contract with DC Comics in February 2016 to develop 4 slot machines. Playtech CEO Mor Weizer discussed at the time how Marvel slots are the company’s strongest in-house slot content, and the partnership with Warner Bros. (which produced the DC movies) would strengthen their licensed comic book slots line. Those games are not featured on Casino.com au at the moment, but might soon be. All four licensed slots are going to be based on DC Comics movies, Superman I (1978), Superman II (1980), Man of Steel (2013), and Green Lantern (2011).

Licensed Slots

Playtech is a major online software developer, so it’s natural that Playtech would buy licenses from some of the top pop culture franchises including movies, TV shows, entertainers, athletes, and game shows through the years.

Gladiator

Baywatch

John Wayne

Pink Panther

Non-Slots Progressive Jackpots

Playtech offers 10 different progressive jackpots which are not tied to a slot machine. The progressive games include table games, video poker, and parlor games. Usually, parlor games are lotteries, raffles, or drawings. For instance, real money Keno, Bingo, and online scratch cards are often listed among the specialty games on a site.

Among the table games, the progressive jackpots tend to be table poker games, which have similar mechanics to poker, but are really table games in which the player bets against the house (or dealer). In most cases, the progressive jackpot is tied to a side bet.

CASINO GAME	GAME Name	PAYOUT
	Jackpot Darts	(Parlor Game) $308,000
	Winners Club: Scratch Platinum	(Scratch Card) $190,080
	Progressive Blackjack	$125,633
	Progressive Baccarat	$89,000

Casino.com Roulette Options

Under the “Table Games” category, players have access to the full assortment of Playtech roulette. This includes European, American, and French Roulette. Gamblers who want to play French Roulette need to play Premium French or Premium Roulette Pro. The latter option has several different forms of roulette, for those who prefer to switch between games during sessions. 3D Roulette is a game with advanced graphics, as it offers 3D animations and multiple camera angles.

Premium French

Premium Europe

Premium Roulette Pro

Premium Europe

Premium Roulette Pro

Live Roulette

Video Roulette

Mini Roulette

Premium Roulette and Video Roulette each offer “La Partage” rules, so the house edge is only 1.35% on both games. If you don’t care about visual quality and want the best odds, player either of those games exclusively.

Online Blackjack

The selection of online blackjack is impressive, with one notable exception. I see no evidence of Spanish 21, which is the name used for “Australian Pontoon” in most parts of the world.

For a casino which caters to Aussie gamblers, that’s a big oversight. It is possible that Australian Pontoon can be found inside a game like Blackjack Pro, so search for it and even ask for it.

Card Games

The “Card Games” category on Casino.com offers a combination of blackjack and table poker. “Table Poker” is a designation given to games like Caribbean Stud Poker, Caribbean Hold’em, Three Card Poker, Let It Ride, and a number of other games found in the table game section of casinos. These games use the poker card ranks to resolve action, but otherwise behave like a table game.

This takes out bluffs and reading the opponent, because the best hand wins and the dealer follows specific rules. Also, table poker tends to have a side bet for a bigger pot (with worse odds). Games like Caribbean Stud and Caribbean Hold’em even have progressive jackpots.

Readers might notice overlap between the Card Games and Online Blackjack lists. I leave those games on both lists to show players where they can find any particular game variation.

Classic Blackjack

Blackjack Surrender

Perfect Blackjack (Perfect Pairs)

Pontoon (English)

Lucky Blackjack

Casino Hold’em

Caribbean Stud

Wild Viking

Pai Gow Poker

Video Poker

Most of the essential versions of video poker are offered on Casino.com, though the site focuses a lot of its content on multi-line variations of the basic games. Certain video poker games are inferior products, such as Tens or Better Video Poker. Most variations of Tens or Better have much worse odds than games like Deuces Wild, Joker Wild, Aces or Faces, and Jacks or Better.

Joker Poker

10’s or Better

Deuces Wild

2 Ways Royal

More Video Poker

I also recommend avoiding the multi-hand games like 4-Line, 10-Line, and 50-Line. It is hard to enjoy 50 hands of video poker at one time. Also, if you don’t watch your betting, you can wager a lot more money and face the house edge a lot more times on multi-hand video poker. It sets you up to lose, though I can see why someone playing Jacks or Better Progressive or Megajacks might want to see more hands.

Online Scratch Cards

Online scratch cards are the Internet version of the scratch cards and pickle games sold in convenience stores worldwide. These games are called scratchies and scratchers in some parts of the globe, but they have the same tell-tale characteristics: buy the card, scratch off the surface, and see what prizes are found underneath.

Casino.com offers 33 online scratch cards, including over a dozen licensed scratchies from Playtech. Most of the slots licenses Playtech owns have been converted into scratch cards.

3 Clowns

A Night Out

Avengers Scratch

Beetle Bingo

Arcade Games

In most online Australian casinos, the list of Arcade Games includes Keno and online scratch cards (and maybe a couple of real arcade games). At Casino.com au, players will find dozens of real Arcade games. The games can be inspired by real-world activities (Bonus Bowling, Penalty Shootout), board games (Around the World), or kids games like Rock-Paper-Scissors. In some cases, Playtech has adapted one or more casino games into something unique, like Pinball Roulette or Rollercoaster Dice.

Several versions of Keno are offered, along with other lotto-style games. When you add up the whole assortment, you’ll find dozens of unique games which are more than simple scratchies.
