Cherry Spins

Cherry Spins is a brand new casino, which can certainly make a pretty good first impression. It has a sleek website design, which allows you to browse its huge games library effortlessly. To make things more interesting, there are new games which it suggests to you on a daily basis. There is also a monthly spotlight with fresh titles to play. The good impression we got was reinforced by an license, which means the casino is safe, as well as some pretty low deposit requirements. There is an interesting Bonus structure to the casino too.

But there are some aspects of Cherry Spins which deserve criticism. For instance, speaking of the Bonuses, actually withdrawing them will prove to be very challenging, and that is by design. There is also not a lot of variety when it comes to the methods you can deposit with. So should you play with Cherry Spins? The following review of it might be able to shed some light on the answer to that question, as it goes over all of these aspects of the casino, and more:

Bonuses

There are many different bonuses which are available with the casino. However, before we get a closer look at each, we need to point out that the company has a default wagering requirement of 100x for its Free Spins. Any promotion which does not have a specific wagering requirement abides by this generic rule. So, with that in mind, here are the bonuses Cherry Spins has to offer:

Perhaps the most interesting of them is the Welcome Package that is available with the casino. It coves the first four deposits you make and lets you chose a certain bonus you can get on each one of them. The choices are either free spins or credit rewards, based on the size of your deposits. Here is what these are for the First Deposit Bonus:

• 500 Free Spins for the a deposit of C$75 (Solar Eclipse)
• 1,000 Free Spins for a deposit of C$150 (Solar Eclipse)
• 150 Free Spins for a deposit of C$40 (Solar Eclipse)
• 100% bonus for a deposit from C$40 to C$200

Next, the options for the Second Deposit Bonus you can claim are listed below:

• 100% bonus for the a deposit from C$75 to C$300
• 1,000 Free Spins for a deposit of C$100 (3 Thunders)
• 200 Free Spins for a deposit of C$40 (3 Thunders)

The third deposit you make entitles you to the following Third Deposit Bonus:

• 500 Free Spins with a 3x boost for a deposit of C$200 (Magnum Opus)
• 300 Free Spins with a 2x boost for a deposit of C$100 (Glory of Egypt)
• 200 Free Spins for a deposit of C$40 (The Emirate)

Lastly, the fourth deposit you make means you can pick between the following two options as the Fourth Deposit Bonus:

• 50% bonus for a deposit from C$75 to C$300
• 150 Free Spins for a deposit of C$40 (Sparkling Fresh)

As you can see, these are some pretty substantial rewards. These somewhat justify the minimum deposits required by the casino being a bit higher than normal. We also appreciate the casino letting the player decide whether they would prefer the Free spins or the credit bonus. With that in mind, the Spins only being available for one slot game is a bit needlessly restrictive. We also don't appreciate the wagering requirement being as high as it is. The casino demands you achieve a turnover of 40x to claim your winnings. That is in the generally acceptable range of 30x to 40x that most houses have for winnings from bonuses. Yet, usually, they also let you cash out not only these profits, but also the bonus itself. There is a 80x wagering requirement if you want to do so with Cherry Spins, which is way too much.

The next bonus the casino offers is the 10 Free Spins you receive if you verify your phone number. That is a very straightforward promotion, and it does not require you to deposit anything. On the other hand, the Terms and Conditions of the casino prohibit you from cashing out the bonus, or any winnings from it. It seems to be only for promotional purposes.

Thirdly, there is a bonus for introducing friends to the casino. That Invite a Friend bonus can be claimed once, and is of 200 Free Spins. The winnings from these can be cashed out, but you need to complete the absurd default wagering requirement of 100x the casino has. As you can guess, that is far too much.

There are special bonuses that become periodically available with Cherry Spins. These are not actually elaborated on much in the Terms and Conditions of the casino, nor are they listed on the website in any comprehensive way. So we can only talk about the one which was available at the time of writing – the 250 Free Spins Special. This deposit bonus demands you put in C$ 40 to claim it, which is also higher than usual. You can get 200 Free Spins if you do so, and these don't have any specific wagering requirement, which means the applicable one is the absurd 100x Cherry Spins demands.

Lastly, there is a Birthday Bonus that the casino offers, which grants you 100 Free Spins without you having to deposit anything. Note that cashing them out will be difficult due to the same high wagering requirement which is applied here as well. This turs the birthday gift Cherry Spins offers you into more of a nuisance.

License

Regulation is a very important aspect of any respectable casino. It really makes a difference in terms of what protections you will be entitled to and how the house will ensure it is not engaging in anything shady. As for Cherry Spins, it claims to be licensed in Curacao, as you can see below:

We need to check with the register of Gaming Curacao to see if that were the case, of course. Casinos that are licensed by it are required to have so-called “dynamic seals” on their websites. These look like the logo of the regulator and lead to pages in the register, which look like the following:

So the casino is actually regulated. Curacao sometimes draws criticism for having a lax regulatory regime, but that is not really fair. There are four bodies in the country, which have been delegated the authority to oversee its e-gaming industry. Each of them has different rules for what the firms it oversees ought to do. However, each of them tackles the same issues – the rampant financial crime unlicensed casinos sometimes engage with. There are specific policies which are designed to prevent money-laundering, identity theft and so on.

As for the games themselves, there are also strict sets of regulations on how they should be made, in order to make sure there are no unfair outcomes for the player. That is achieved by using random number generators which are certifiably fair and have a verified RTP rate. At any case, playing with a licensed casino like Cherry Spins is the best way to bet. Its license is an excellent advantage the house has!

Deposit and Withdrawal

Below are the deposit methods which Cherry Spins accepts:

Currencies: Australian Dollar (AUD), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro (EUR)

These are not really all that extensive, and other casinos are usually able to offer more payment methods. There are e-wallets, MuchBetter and CoinsPaid. The second is a crypto e-wallet, which can be used to deposit into FIAT currencies. If you wish to deposit via crypto, you can also do so with Speed Light Pay. The fast and convenient Interac is available, as well as credit cards. Note that Interac is only usable if you have a Canadian bank account, and credit card payments may be restricted in your jurisdictions, if you are from the UK, for instance.

The minimum deposit is just C$30, or an equivalent, which is not too much at all. Yet, it is a bit bothersome that Cherry Spins does not mention the minimum withdrawal it requires you to make. It is unclear how long either cashing in or cashing out takes. We can speculate that deposits are processed within 24 hours, because most casinos are able to do so. Yet the internal withdrawal policies they have are way too different from each other, and we cannot guess to what they are. It could take 24 hours, up to three days, or even more.

There are no fees for withdrawing or depositing to the casino. Note that you can still be charged by the payment provider you have picked. Also, to cash out you need to wager your money at least once. This is a pretty common requirement which is not really concerning. In fact, such wagering requirements are usually higher, if anything!

Games and Game Suppliers

There is a pretty good variety of games you can play with Cherry Spins. The suppliers it partners with are over 60. Here is who these suppliers are:

Game providers: PragmaticPlay, Playson, Microgaming, Wazdan, Quickspin, Kalamba, Yggdrasil, Evolution, BetGames.tv, Rabat, Red Rake, NetEnt, Red Tiger Gaming, Endorphina, Evoplay, Hacksaw, Play'n GO, Blueprint, HoGaming, Spribe, RealDealer, Betsoft, BGaming, Gamevy, Gamzix, Vivo Gaming, Macaw Gaming, Lotto Instant Win, Skywind, Platipus, Spinomenal, Leap-Gaming

As you can imagine, there are thousands of titles available from them. The games themselves are separated in several categories.

Firstly, there are Slots. This category includes some very recognizable names, like Big Bass Bonanza, Starburst, Solar Eclipse, 9 Pots of Gold, Gold Blitz, Sweet Bonanza, Book of Dead and many others.  Jackpot Games are also available, as an alternative to slots. These include Secret of the temple, Buffalo Power, 5 Lions Gold, Wolf Power. The only place you can play table games is the live games section of the casino, which includes Blackjack, Bacarrat and others. There are several Game shows too – Gonzo's Treasure Hunt Live, Crazy Time and others. All in all, this is a good selection. We would like to see it expanded so it includes more table games, but there is good variety as is.

Conclusion

To sum it all up, Cherry Spins is a good casino, that has a couple of problems. The most significant one is that the bonuses it offers are just not set up to be competitive with what the rest of the industry has in terms of wagering requirements. There is also a concerning lack of transparency on several key aspects of the promotions, as well as the payment policies of the company.

Yet, when it comes to the actual games you can play, these are safe because Cherry Spins is licensed. They are also pretty varied. So if you can tolerate the negative aspects of the firm, you might have fun with it, and should check it out. But in our view, there are better alternatives out there.
