CosmoSpin Casino Details

CosmoSpin Casino is not your typical review case that we get, as this casino is still in the waits for a license while also offering an incomplete package. The general feel that we got was that the casino is under the impression that once it gets its license, everything will get better, but the truth is that in this industry only you, as a casino, hold the ultimate power of whether or not your casino will make it. So, despite the casino's efforts to get licensed, CosmoSpin Casino still has to think about it other features and elements, because a regulation does not make a casino; it's only a part of what constitutes a good casino. With that in mind, please read the review as it reveals all you need to know, as a user, about this casino platform.

The bonuses are a bit on the limited side, in terms of the details and conditions revealed about them. But let us look wha tthe casino offers at first.
First Bonus of 110%: The minimum deposit is 1000 RUB.
Deposit Bonus of 50 Free Spins: Invest 1500 RUB to unlock.
Deposit Bonus of 25 Free Spins: This one is unlocked after making a deposit of 1900 RUB.
Deposit Bonus of 50 Free Spins: Activated after making a deposit of 2100 RUB.
Deposit Bonus of 160%: You need to invest 300 RUB to unlock it.
Tournaments: Tournaments are usually one of the incentives in terms of bonuses that a casino can have on offer. Considering this, it is a disappointment that the offer here is limited, with only one active tournament. However, the casino is still in the process of acquiring a license so maybe after that is done, it will focus on other aspects of its site, such as the bonuses and more specifically the tournaments. Only time will tell.
VIP: The loyalty program is simple enough, with 5 levels in total, and all the general benefits you might expect. You get to reach to higher levels by investing and playing.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot going on in terms of the core bonus terms and conditions, like wagering and a max cashout, leaving a lot to be desired from the bonuses in general.
LICENSE
From CosmoSpin Casino's own statement we are told that the platform is currently in the process of acquiring a license from a rather obscure licensing body in Cyprus. Actually, the casino never names the actual regulator or regulation that is has applied for, instead relying on the vague “Cyprus gambling authorities”, which can mean many things, but it can also deceive.
The only Cypriot based licensing body we can think of, in this case, is the Cyprus Gaming and Casino Supervision Commission. It sounds very professional, and it undoubtedly is – this is Cyprus we are speaking of, one of the main regulatory jurisdictions for both online casinos and FX markets – but we have very rarely seen it in action.
The regulator is a legit one, for all those skeptics out there, but its authority is questionable considering that we have come across it so few times. Like all other regulators in the biz, this one also puts the security, safety, and fairness of gameplay for all users above all else, but we cannot go into any more details before the pending period is over and the casino actually acquires a legit license.
Matters are currently shrouded in ambiguity because we have no real way to verify the progress of CosmoSpin Casino. For now, we have to take its word for it, but something tells us that the casino is not fooling around despite its shortcomings that we will see in a bit.

The first thing we noticed that made an impression was that there was no payments page, which greatly complicates thigs there where it could have been entirely avoided. Actually the only real payment info that we were able to get, concerning the payment methods, were a bunch of logos above the footer of some of the most popular e-wallets in the industry, as well as credit cards, debit cards, bank transfers, and crypto.
Other than that, all there remains are vague mentions of cards and bank transfers in the legal docs, with no allusion to any e-wallets to be seen. Crucially though, there was no minimum deposit revealed anywhere, and no processing times for either deposits or withdrawals. The closes thing we get to a withdrawal processing time is a claim that all withdrawal requests are processed 24/7, which is no real consolatory value as it just claim that withdrawals are processed through the weekends and perhaps holidays. As for the maximum withdrawal amount, it is directly ties to the VIP level of a user. The value on the table above is the first VIP level max withdrawal cap.
As for fees, well CosmoSpin Casino turned out to be a casino that applies its own 3% commission on the withdrawal process, which is not something you see every day, but is within the casino's right, no matter how shady it may seem from the side.
Other than this fee, we also have to mention the presence of the inevitable payment system fees as well as the currency conversion ones. Lastly, there is also another withdrawal related fee applied on each third request issued for that day: a 10% withdrawal fee is issued on your third withdrawal request for the day.
We also have a spin on the classic deposit rollover clause. Here the casino formulates the following requirement: if a withdrawal request was submitted prior to the user placing bets at least 3 times the deposit amount the casino will issue a fee, which is decided at the discretion of the casino.
GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS
It was great seeing that CosmoSpin Casino had the making if a well-organized and good looking casino, with a well rounded gamin section that we liked to browse through. As for the games themselves, there was more to be required.
Video slots are generally within the acceptable range, with the likes of Book of Sun, Lucky Cloverland, Princess Suki, Fruit Machine, Midas Golden Touch, Cyber Wolf, Valley of Dreams, Fruit Cocktail, the Dog House, Bonanza Billion, Maya Sun, and more games. It was a good deal overall, with the addition of Bonus Buy (directly purchase game-specific bonus and mini games) and Megaways (bigger and better version of slots), and jackpot slots.
The lives games is where the casino exposes its rough edges. With only 18 games in that category, one cannot expect to take the casino seriously, considering that these type of games are always in demand. Technically speaking, there is great variety here since each game is an ambassador of its own type. There's Poker, Blackjack, Bac Bo, Roulette, Fan Tan, Teen Patti, Andar Bahar, Spin the Wheel Games, and Baccarat. But in the end the collection is limited.
But if the live games were limited, the table games are the exact opposite. With the likes of Jacks or Better, Poker, Baccarat, Blackjack, Dragon Tiger, Monopoly (live version includes in table games version, for some reason), Roulette, Teen Patti, Wheel of Fortune, and many more, this turned out to be the highlight of the casino for us, and a surprise to say the least. But unfortunately, the casino has taken what many might consider the wrong turn since table games are not really all that popular anymore, replaced by sportsbooks or other gaming types. However, it's this energy that CosmoSpin Casino should put into its live games.
Last but not least, there are Bingo, Lottery, and Instant games, adding an extra flair to the casino as well as more gaming hours for all.
It's too bad that the live games are underdeveloped, but then the slots are not all that impressive either, while the table games, although we appreciate them for being so diverse, are not what most players are looking for nowadays, leaving only bingo, lottery and instant games as the real page turned here, but this is not at all what 90% of casino goers look for. The gaming situation here may look like it is deep and overflowing, but in reality it is shallow. The casino must take into consideration one of the most important factors for it to survive in this business, and that is the dog-eat-dog nature of the business, where if you fail to attract a user you will lose him to the next casino.

CONCLUSION
The two main issues that we see here is the pending license and the very disappointing and downright inadequate situation with the games. You can't expect to make something of yourself with such a lackluster gaming offering, while the ambiguous licensing is still up for debate whether pending or just missing. Overall, we got the feeling of an unimpressive package even with some of the good sides kept on the side, such as the inclusion of so many payment methods. Unfortunately, we fail to see CosmoSpin Casino thrive in the current state that it is, because in this industry the competition cuts like a knife and you need to be prepared for it.
