BetMonsta

BetMonsta presents itself as the place to bet on thousands of sports. And it claims that not only does it have them to wager on, but many interesting and fun casino games too. So is it a good idea to actually play with this casino? Well, we have written the following review based on our first-hand experience with the casino to hopefully shed some light into its various aspects. We will cover its promotions, regulation, payment policies and its games. So let's get started – here is everything you need to know about BetMonsta:

Bonuses

First and foremost, the bonuses a casino issues are one of the most important aspects of its services. The best casinos these days issue the best bonuses. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, BetMonsta only had the following promotions available:

These consist of two bonuses on sports betting and one on crash games. There are no promotions that would enable you to play slots, table games or live casino games. Additionally, there are no Freebet bonuses, or early payout bonuses for sports betting. The house claims that more bonuses might be available in the future, but that is not really good enough. At any rate, let's see what it does have available:

The 100% Sport Deposit Bonus is only offered upon a client's first deposit. The minimum amount of money you need to cash in to claim it is just $10, which is a very small amount. Casinos usually demand about $10 to assign you a bonus. At the same time, the maximum you can get is $250, which is decent, but could stand to be higher too. The bonus is calculated as 100% of your deposit. This means BetMonsta will match your deposits, up to its maximum.

To cash out the money received as part of the promotion, you need to achieve a certain wagering requirement. The money needs to be bet on games with odds equal to or higher than 1.75. Once you turn it over five times, you can cash out the bonus. These kinds of requirements are very common in the industry, and represent no issue. What's more, the ones with this casino are pretty low. For reference, we have seen other sports betting websites demand higher turnovers, up to 8x. There is a cash-out limit of $2000, which means you cannot profit more than that with the bonus. Considering the low wagering requirement, that is a pretty generous allowance.

Next, there is a special promotion for fans of Crash games. They can claim the 20% Deposit Bonus if they put in $10 or more, and play their favorite game from the category using it. This promotion comes with a maximum bonus of $1000. The wagering requirement for it is just 3x too. Usually casino games like slots have way higher requirements, between 30x and 40x. We are happy to see this is not the case here. The maximum you can get from the promotion is once again pretty generous. The cash out limit for it is set to $5000, which is a significant sum!

Thirdly, the casino had a bonus called the Multi Booster 300%. This promotion requires you to place a multi-bet, essentially several bets which can be won or lost in sequence. The booster gives you a bonus of a certain percent of the wager. We should mention that the percent scales with the amount of correct wagers you have. It starts at 5% for 3 winning bets. Claiming the maximum you can get, 300% of the wager, would require you to win 40 bets in a row. Now, the odds for that are pretty low, but the reward is pretty sweet. We should mention that the only bets that would qualify are ones on games with odds higher than 1.3. The maximum you can win from this promotion is $500, but there is actually no wagering requirement on this money. It gets added to your account straight away, so you can play with it as you please.

License

BetMonsta is a licensed casino. Here is what it has to say about its regulation:

Of course, we did not take its word for it, and nether should you, if you are presented with a claim that a casino is licensed. Always make sure you check with whatever body has issued the alleged license. Doing so for Gaming Curacao, the body that BetMonsta claims to be licensed by, is actually very easy. Every company that is authorized by it needs to have a dynamic seal on its website. Here is what that looks like:

Clicking it will take you to the register of the regulatory body, which will display the license of the casino. Here is the license of BetMonsta:

This straightforward process eliminates most doubts. But if you are still not sure, the regulator also allows you to verify licenses on its register by entering the website of the casino and a captcha code. Needless to say, BetMonsta came up as a licensed firm in there as well.

But what does the regulation by Gaming Curacao mean in terms of the protections that are available to gamblers? Well, there are lots of shady activities that unlicensed casinos usually engage in. They can be fixing their games, for instance. Since the regulatory body in question requires the random number generators in the games used by casinos it has licensed to be independently audited, that is not something you need to worry about. All the games with BetMonsta are therefore certifiably fair.

There is also a lot of personal information that you let the casino process, which offshore entities are eager to sell. And if they are not selling it, leaks are very much possible, due to poor encryption. Once again, with the specific rules Gaming Curacao has taken to combat that, your information is stored safely with the casino.

Lastly, since financial crime is something offshore casinos also dabble in, you cannot know whether the house is not engaging in tons of shady activities. These can include the financing of terrorism for instance, or money laundering. Licensed casinos keep their clients' funds in specific ways, which prevent that. So BetMonsta is a pretty trustworthy casino!

Deposit and Withdrawal

Speaking of funds, here is how you can deposit them with BetMonsta:

Currencies: Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD)

There are not that many payment methods available. You can use the Skrill and Neteller e-wallets. EcoPayz and AstroPay are available as alternative e-wallets. Lastly, you can deposit via Bitcoin. No credit cards, wire transfers or e-vouchers can be used. The policy is not too restrictive, but we would have wished to see more deposit methods accepted.

The minimum deposit is just $10 for most of the methods that are available, which is pretty low. What is slightly concerning is the fact that the minimum withdrawal amount is not mentioned. It could be way higher than the $10 required to cash in, but there is no way to know for sure. Another important detail that is not specified is how fast the casino processes your withdrawal requests. That can be anywhere from 24 hours to seven days, because the policies each casino takes to approve or deny such requests are very different. The timeframe in which deposits should be cleared is 24 hours.

As with most casinos, there are no fees for withdrawing. That is pretty good, but third party fees can still be applied by the payment providers themselves. Either way, nothing to criticize here!

The only restriction on withdrawals is the requirement to wager the funds you deposited at least 1x before cashing out. This is a common policy with casinos that helps fight money laundering.

Games and Game Suppliers

There are a lot of game suppliers that are featured on the website of the casino. These are about 70 in total, and we will now list them for you:

Game providers: Switch Studios, Microgaming, Gamefish Global, Habanero, Slingshot, Apollo Games, Electric Elephant, Foxium, Skillzz Gaming, Gameburger Studios, Neon Valley Studios, PulseB, Concept Gaming, Fugaso, NetGame, Mr Slotty, Hacksaw, Golden Race, Wazdan, CT Interactive, Ezugi, Triple Cherry, Play Pearls, Espresso Games, BetGames.tv, Super Spade, Rabat, Big Time Gaming, Gamevy, Just For The Win, Triple Edge Solution, Tvbet, Evoplay, Gamzix, BGaming, Macaw Gaming, PragmaticPlay, NetEnt, Vivo Gaming, Betsoft, Red Tiger Gaming, Tom Horn, 1x2gaming, GameArt, Spribe, Evolution, Smartsoft Gaming

This is a very good amount, and means lots of games are available too.

As for the games themselves, there are slots like Space Wars, Book of Magic, Bunring Sun, Wanted: Dead or a Wild, and more. There is a lot of focus on Crash games like Aviator, Crash Man, Jet X, Plinko X and so on too. They can be browsed in an entirely different section of the website, and have the dedicated bonus we mentioned above. Thirdly, there are Table Games with classics like Baccarat, Poker, Blackjack, Roulettes, Sic Bo and more. And if you are interested in Live gaming, you can play Baccarat, Poker, Blackjack, Roulettes, or take part in several Game Shows like Crazy Time, Extra Chilli, Deal or No Deal. Various Lotto style live games are also available.

The Sportsbook of the casino includes hundreds of events to prematch bet on. For instance, there are Football events from over 63 countries, from various divisions. There are other sports as well, though, with anything from Handball to Kickboxing all available. As far as live betting is concerned, that is also something you can do with BetMonsta. The casino offers access to bets on only two sports, though. These are Football and Tennis. The lack of extensive live betting options is pretty disappointing, especially since the casino is very much focused on sports betting.

Conclusion

BetMonsta is a decent casino with tight regulation. What makes it fall behind is the lack of bonuses and the rigid deposit policies, which simply fail to offer many choices of payment methods. On the other hand, the games library is good, and you can bet on a lot of sports. So it might be worth checking the casino out if that is what you are after!
