Apollo Casino

Apollo Casino is a simple but modern online casino that takes liberties here and there that don't always pay out the way it wants them to. So the casino does falter at times and places where it could easily not have, meaning that it has the potential to get bigger and better over time and with some effort on its behalf.

BONUSES

New User Deposit Bonus up to 200%: This bonus can apply 4 times for the users first four deposits. The information is very confusing and we did not really get any clear details on how this bonus works. There was no minimum deposit, and aside from a 22x wagering requirement for the first deposit bonus, we got nothing else out of this one.

Refer a Friend Bonus: This is an offline bonus which we have no clue what it means nor how it can possibly work since being offline no one can know what you're up to. But all bonuses at Apollo Casino are appalling and as if written and conducted by first graders. The other details of the bonus – the ones that consider the ways of actually getting it – are so convoluted that we decided that it's for our own and our readers good not to get into them.

Daily Cashback Bonus: This promo is directly tied to the user's own VIP level, so if a level is higher the percentage of cashback will be higher also. The issue is that the cashback goes as high as 0.8% for the highest VIP tier, and to us this does not seem like something that is totally worth the effort. Usually this percentage should be around 5% or at times higher, but a 0.8% cashback is not worth it in our books.

Rebate Referral Bonus: This is the second refer a friend bonus and it is rather odd and not really worth it. Considering that on every referral the user will get 0.1% rebate of the wagers placed by their referees. Each user can be refereed once making this more of a chore than an actual bonus.

VIP Club: There is a loyalty program that is out of reach for us and unregistered users, and there was absolutely no information about it. But this figures since Apollo Casino is not really a casino that seems to get bonuses right.

LICENSE

Apollo Casino is owned and operated by Online Chip World Co. N.V., a company regulated in Curacao, holding a Gaming Curacao e-license.

Curacao is perhaps the best and coolest regulator ever! It's not just about protecting users, but it also gives casinos the freedom to do their own thing with games, bonuses, and extra content. They have all the power to make their own rules and make things that much better for everyone. In order to prioritize player protection and responsible gambling, Curacao licensed casinos must implement a variety of measures. These measures encompass fair gaming practices, data safeguarding, responsible gaming promotion, anti-fraud measures, and reliable customer support. Additionally, these casinos must employ strong data protection measures, utilizing advanced encryption technology to effectively secure players' personal and financial information.

Ensuring fairness and impartiality is a top priority for Curacao-licensed casinos. They achieve this by using random number generators (RNGs) that guarantee the complete randomness of every game's outcome, leaving no room for manipulation or direct favoritism.

Recognizing the importance of addressing problem gambling, Curacao-licensed casinos have established protocols to combat this issue. These protocols focus on identifying and mitigating gambling addiction, providing players with responsible gaming features like deposit limits, session limits, and self-exclusion options. Furthermore, these casinos have implemented stringent anti-fraud measures to safeguard against illegal activities such as money laundering and identity theft. Additionally, they are committed to preventing underage gambling, ensuring a secure and responsible gambling experience. However, it is equally important for players to exercise responsible gambling habits by setting personal limits on their gambling duration and expenditure.

Curacao licensed casinos understand the significance of customer support services. These services not only help players with technical issues but also provide vital information and guidance on responsible gambling practices. By promptly addressing customer complaints, these casinos strive to establish a gambling environment that is safe and secure for all players.

Curacao licensed casinos have revolutionized the market by making online gambling accessible to a broader audience. This means that players from countries with stricter regulations can now participate. This inclusivity creates a more diverse and vibrant gaming community, benefiting both the casino and its players. However, when comparing Curacao licensed casinos to those with MGA and UKGC licenses, they are often considered to be less reputable. This perception has the potential to influence certain players' trust in the platform, despite the numerous advantages that come with the Curacao license. This is an outdated look that is still held by some casino experts as well as users.

But as users will see the casino has taken failed to take full advantage of the big Curacao license, instead providing a somewhat disappointing collection of games.

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

Currencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC)

The casino allows for crypto only payments, for both deposits and withdrawals. There are no details on the minimum deposit or any other conditions which is a mistake that we hope is amended.

Crypto transactions bring with them a bunch of inherited risks. The first and biggest risk has to do with the nature of cryptocurrencies themselves, which are inherently volatile and very unpredictable, meaning that at one time you may be holding crypto worth thousands in a fiat currency and the next they may be worth nothing. Plus users are running the risks of depositing and withdrawing where fees are an essential part of each transaction, And we are talking currency conversion and payment system fees.

Please be aware that all deposits have to be played through at least once in order to be able to withdrawal. It seems that if a user has not completed this then the casino will have no choice other than to cancel the withdrawal request altogether. So there is no way around this clause. The user is left with no choice but to play through his deposit once. But this is also a very common requirement set by 98% of the casinos that we review so there's nothing to be worried about.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

The gaming hub offers an average looking interface and level of organization. It has room for improvement here, that's for sure.

Let's start with the slots, to see what the casino has to offer. Here we have Gates of Olympus, The Dog House Megaways, Starlight Princess, Sweet Bonanza, Aztec Gems, Wild West Gems, Great Rhino Megaways, Panda's Fortune, The Hands of Midas, Bigger Bass Bonanza, Buffalo King, Clover Gold, Eye of Cleopatra, Madame Destiny Megaways, Tic Tac Take, Magic of Ra, Extra Juicy Megaways, John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Quen, Great Rhino, and more. These are all huge games, some of the biggest in the industry for sure. However, unfortunately we found that the collection was not as big in terms of pure quantity. And this may create issued for users who want a big old collection of over 3000 slots. There are other casinos out there that offer these big collections.

Then there are the live section games which should never be neglected. Here they have not, but there are only 50 games in total, which is definitely not enough and feel like an after though. But nevertheless the casino has included the likes of Baccarat, Sweet Bonanza Candy Land, Sic Bo, Mega Wheel, Roulette, Blackjack, Andar Bahar, Dragon Tiger, Poker, Dream Gaming Lobby, Xoc Dia, Fish Prawn Crab, Red Blue Duel, and Teen Patti, which in reality is quite the good variation of titles considering that there are only 50 live games in total. And that is no easy task.

There is also a chicken fighting betting game which seem to us like a big ice breaker, perhaps the one thing this casino needs? It's a fun and humorous alternative that shakes things up. If you are up for more alternatives then you can check out the crash games collection that includes Keno, Limbo, Hilo, Dice, Wheel, Bingo, Mines, and some others all provided by a single provider. There are 14 games in total, and we know that this isn't much but it will have to do.

There is a sport section that is completely misleading as it does not lead to any sort of sports betting platform. Instead, it offers seperate games that allow for some sort of football betting,

Game providers: Evolution, PragmaticPlay, Play'n GO, PGSoft, NetEnt

CONCLUSION

The casino has work to do if it wishes to be more than a mid tier online gambling platform. By that we mean that it can definitely expand on its games, work towards a better payment structure – let's face it, crypto and casinos don't always pair up nicely and in this case it definitely is not the cleanest transition – , and definitely work out some compromise on the bonuses. These three elements have the power to push users away, the same way it pushed us away from the casino.
