Gambols Casino wastes away a very interesting design choice that is perfectly suited for an online casino platform. The whole cowboy aesthetic is just grand, but the casino has, unfortunately, not taken full advantage of it. The result is a rather bland casino with a few appealing images here and there. Aside from the visuals, Gambols Casino is not in its best shape as this review will showcase. So read on to find out all about this casino, and if it's the one for you.

Welcome Match Bonus Package up to a total of $8000 Plus $2000 Cashback: This bonus is actually spread out into 3 separate packages, each granting quite a lot of bonus money. The entire package when combined grant clients $8000 in bonus money which is a great amount of playable funds.
- 1st Match Bonus of 300% up to $3000 Plus 100% Cashback
- 2nd Match Bonus of 250% up to $2500 Plus 50% Cashback
- 3rd Match Bonus of 250% up to $2500 Plus 50% Cashback
The cashback is in the form of free chips, not actual money to withdrawal. The free chips is money that can be used to gamble further, meaning that you can get out of a deposit more play time. There is a 30x wagering requirement for the bonus amount plus the deposit. For some reason there was no minimum deposit revealed anywhere, nor a maximum cashout amount. The maximum bet one can place with the bonus is $10.
Welcome Match Bonus Package for Card Games up to $5500 Plus $2000 Cashback: This bonus is also spread out into three separate sub-packages that are quite impressive in size. The maximum bonus is $7500 and this is a great deal of playable money for all types of clients.
- 200% match up to $2000 up to 100% cashback
- 175% match up to $1750 up to 50% cashback
- 175% match up to $1750 up to 50% cashback
As above, the cashback bonus here is expressed in further money used for playing card games. So you won't be able to withdrawal the cashback amount here. The wagering requirement is 40 times the bonus plus deposit. The minimum deposit and maximum cash-out amounts have not been revealed. The maximum bet allowed here per round is $10.
Birthday Bonus: Players are granted a “special gift” upon their birthday, only after solid proof of the birth of date has been provide. All we know is that the birthday gift is in the form of a free chip.
Weekly Cashback of 15%: It sound intriguing but unfortunately we don't have enough information. There are no maximum cash-out amounts, no prior requirements, no wagering requirements, etc.
Tournaments: Usually these are great incentives for players, but here they are definitely not a strong suit. For one, there were no active ones at the time of writing this review, and only 1 in the past year or so since the inception of the casino.
VIP: At Gambols Casino there are 4 tier levels, each one granting an increasingly better set of benefits, such as cashback bonuses, free chips, VIP managers, extra match bonuses, exclusive bonuses, and more. There is definitely a lot to unpack here, and that's good. But, there are no details as to how the actual VIP system functions.
LICENSE
The casino is operated by LittelBig N.V. a company based in Curacao, and regulated by the Gaming Service Provider N.V. We read this from the footer. The first immediate issue we had with it was that Gaming Service Provider N.V. does not actually exists as a regulator. The one that Gambols Casino refers to is Curacao Gaming N.V. not Gaming Service Provider N.V. Whether this is a mistake or evidence that Gambols lacks regulatory knowledge, is not yet clear, but it does make the case for Gambols Casino difficult.
But the fact is that most of the things we found out point to Gambols Casino having a hazy legal stance, despite some convincing points. The most important and arguably the most persuasive element that the casino has on offer is a Curacao Gaming N.V. seal.
Now this may be a done deal for many, but we did not feel content with this license, which opens in a separate PDF file. Here are a the issues we had with it.
- Regulated casinos keep a seal of regulation on the footer, which links the client directly to the digital license itself, and not a copy of it. In other words, we cannot prove the PDF file to be accurate, and can only take the casino's word for it.
- There is no alterative way to check whether Gambols Casino is licensed, again leaving us to rely purely on what the website states.
- The certificate is valid until July 2023 which is in 3 days from the day of writing this review, meaning that by the time many of you are reading this review the casino license will be invalid. From then on the situation may very well start to deteriorate.
- The legal documents did not contain any licensing details that could have elaborated further on this, and potentially fixed the situation. They only confirm what the footer states, which in our case is not enough.
All we can say about the casino is that is CLAIMS to be licensed, even though the points we just made make its case somewhat unconvincing. The PDF file given as proof-of-license cannot be validated in any way, and so it's their word against ours.
As a side note, we want to add that a casino without a license is very rarely considered a fraud, or even a risky venture. Many of the unregulated casinos we have reviewed have been superb in their delivery of quality games, bonuses, payment conditions, and the like. These elements would have been an advantage to Gambols Casino, but in reality it greatly falls behind on all these aspects and more. Moreover, Gambols Casino's present circumstances make it quite the unattractive venture, not least because of the legal predicament; as you will see the casino does not have much to offer.

As you might have seen, the casino limits payments only to credit cards, debit cards, and cryptocurrencies. To limit the payment methods to these is a very risky move, considering that crypto deposits and withdrawals limit the number of users, adds extra risk, can add additional fees like crypto system commissions, are entirely dependent on the crypto's volatile nature, is to out a big barrier on your clients. At least there are card payments, and we recommend using these if you want to deposit in Gambols Casino.
The other payment details are average and do allow dome flexibility, and can seem very attractive, but the inherent risks associated with crypto payments remain. Furthermore, recall the ambiguity around the license, and when you add to that the reliance on crypto payment methods, you get an online casino that can be risky in certain circumstances.
There is an inactivity fee that starts to get applied after a user has not used an account, i.e leaving it in a “dormant” state, for more than 13 months. The fee itself is said to be found in the “help” section of site, but there was no such sub-section of the website. And so the dormant account fee remains a mystery.
GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS
Gambols Casino's gaming quality and quantity is downright disappointing, and there is no easy way to say this. It's regulatory ambiguity in addition to the limited gaming situation is enough of a deterrent.
Slots and video slots are separated into Fruits, Egypt, Books, Digit, Animal, Heroes, and a couple of other slot themes, that pale in number when compared to other casinos' repertoire of slot machines. Here we have Lady Wolf Moon, Fruit Million, The Golden Inn, Winds of Wealth, Dig Dig Dig, Taboo, and others, but the popularity contest is never once expressed here.
Next are the table games, but here things are even worse than with the slots in terms of quantity. It's true that there are staples like Roulette, Blackjack, and Poker, but to limit your table games selection to only these is also not reassuring. There are less than 100 table games in total offered here, which would have been great if there was at least double the amount of variety. For now, it's not really worth it.
And then there's the lack of live casino games, which is the appeal of online casinos to a very big audience, and the lack of these just means that Gambols Casino essentially excludes potential clients.
And as you can see, the suppliers are also on the down low, add to that the disappointing games, and the lack of live casino games, and what you have on your hands is a gaming situation that can easily be beat each time.

CONCLUSION
Let's see what we have here. An unstable regulatory situation, a lack of gaming variety, the near full reliance on cryptocurrency based deposits and withdrawals, and a wasted potential of a unique casino visual style. Yes, we can count the one pro we could find, namely the good bonuses, but in this case the cons greatly out-balance the pros. In conclusion, Gambols Casino is not that good, and in it present state we cannot recommend it.
