Goldenbet

When it comes to picking an online casino to play at, there are thousands of options nowadays! Goldenbet is one of the more attractive among them, and makes a good first impression with its sleek website and its vast games library.

It is important to learn about several things about a casino before opening an account with it, though. These are whether it is licensed, what payment methods it accepts, what its deposit and withdrawal policies are and, most of all, what games you can play there. So, if you are curious about Goldenbet, we recommend reading our full review of it below. In it, we have gone over the aspects of the house we mentioned above, and everything else you need to know:

Bonuses

On its face, this casino has a decent amount of bonuses. However, once you take a closer look, you'll realize the majority of these promotions are part of the different Welcome Bonuses which are offered by Goldenbet:

This is not bad per se, and we like the fact that the house has three different Welcome Packages available for its players. Let's take a look into them first, before delving into the few Recurring Bonuses:

• The first of these choices is the Casino Welcome Bonuses.  Namely, the Casino Welcome Bonus,  Casino Second and Third Bonuses are the parts of the package. These are three massive bonuses, which add up to $500 each to your account. They are calculated as 100% of the funds you deposit with the house, and come with a fair minimum deposit requirement of $20. As far as similar requirements go, that is about as much as we expect from any casino nowadays. Keep in mind that you need to clear their wagering requirements. Said requirement is set to 35x, and that represents the amount of times you need to wager the entire bonus in order to fulfil the condition for withdrawing it. This is a perfectly normal part of any promotion nowadays, and we usually see similar bonuses have requirements in the range of 30x to 40x. We can say that Goldenbet is right in the middle of this reasonable range! One last thing to keep in mind is that each bonus has a Cashout limit of 50x the received promotion, or $15 000, whichever lower. In practice, this means the absolute maximum cashout limit is the lower number between the two. This is still a very generous amount, and houses which opt in to use such restrictions usually make the limits 10x the received bonus, or a similar amount.
• Next, you can pick the Sports Welcome Bonus. This will also add 100% of the funds you initially deposit to your account, up to $500. The main difference between it and the previous promotion is that you can claim just one bonus as opposed to three. It might be possible to claim the Second and Third bonuses from the Casino Welcome package, but that is not made explicitly clear in the Terms and Conditions of the casino. Furthermore, there is a difference in the wagering requirement of the bonus – instead of 35x, it is just 10x. However, Sports bonuses like that take the odds of the games you bet into account as well. If you place your wagers on events with odds of under 1.4, they will simply not count towards fulfilling the requirement. The particular requirement we see here is fair enough, in our opinion, and competitive with other houses which allow sports betting as well. The cashout limit is once more 50x the received bonus, or $15 000.
• Thirdly, you can get a special Esports Welcome Bonus, which is fairly unique. Most casinos offer only sports betting bonuses, and some even leave esports fans without any promotions. As far as this particular bonus goes, its conditions are identical to the previous promotion. Once again, it is a 100% bonus of up to $500 and once more, there is a 10x wagering requirement. Only games with odds over 1.4 contribute to it once more, and the same cashout limit rules apply too.

Now, let's take a look into the Recurring bonuses which this casino has in store for its players.  These can be claimed an indefinite amount of times, once the condition for receiving them is met.

• The Unlimited Cashback Bonus represents a great chance for players to recover some of their losses from bets which have gone out of their control. This is a pretty common type of promotion nowadays, but Goldenbet has an interesting spin on it. Firstly, the bonus becomes available once you deposit $100 or more in total with the casino. This money can be cashed in on multiple different occasions, or once. The bonus is 10% of the losses you have realized, with a maximum sum of $500 you can receive. It can be requested an unlimited amount of times, and at any time of day, provided you have reached the minimum sum of $10 which you can get with it. There is also a high 45x wagering requirement for the money. Usually, cashback bonuses are not as readily available but their wagering requirements are between 5x and 10x, often times less. We cannot say that Goldenbet's approach is better than the usual way these promotions work, but it is certainly unique! The cashout limit for the bonus is just 5x the amount you've received, though, and that's a bit too little for the massive wagering requirement you are expected to clear.
• There is a pretty unique bonus for fans of Sports betting, called the 3+1 Freebet. The promotion awards you with a voucher for a certain amount of money once you place three wagers of $10 or more on different games. What's special about this bonus voucher is that it can be used to place a single bet. The money from the Freebet bonus will be used before the funds in your account to settle the bet, while ordinary bonuses work in the opposite way. How much can you get from this promotion? The maximum is not specified but the bonus is calculated by taking the three qualifying bets, summing them up and dividing them by 3. There is a cashout limit of $100 however, so you cannot really win all that much from the promotion. At least there is no wagering requriement to it!
• Last but not least, if you place a series of wagers on a game that is not going too well for you, Goldenbet might let you Cash Out Till its Too Late, as the last of its bonuses is called. It is pretty simple in how it works: Sometimes, the games you've bet on will let you cash out and refund the money to your account instead of settling your wager at a loss. This is a good opportunity to take if you find yourself unlucky!

License

We are happy to say that Goldenbet is pretty great as far as regulation goes. It is licensed by Egaming Curacao, which is one of the most popular regulators nowadays. The website of the casino claims as much:

How did we verify said claim? Well, every license holder which is regulated by this authority needs to have a Digital Seal on its website. The Seal looks like the logo of Egaming, and can be seen below:

This little shield icon can be clicked, which then takes us to another website, where the register of the oversight body is found:

On it, we learned that Goldenbet is run from the approved domain of a license holder – Santeda International B.V.. But why is this such a big deal? Well, being regulated means that a casino can guarantee a series of protections to players, in compliance with the regulatory regime of the body which issued its license.

And Egaming is just one of the four of said bodies which operate in Curacao. The small Caribbean country has become the most popular place to obtain licenses. While it does not stifle gambling houses, it still requires them to follow many player-friendly policies. Here is what some of these are:

• First off, licensed casinos need to have their games audited. Said audits are to be performed by independent professionals, picked by the regulatory bodies. That way, you can be certain that there is no bias within the random number generators which determine the outcomes of every bet you make!
• The player has to submit a lot of personal information about themselves to the casino. This is because the houses need to verify where your money comes from, in order to comply with their AML and KYC rules. Curacao regulators all require this data to be encrypted using some of the most extensive security protocols available nowadays. This ensures that the odds of it leaking or being obtained by hackers are minimal.
• Thirdly, the casinos licensed in Curacao have to provide players with certain resources on what problem gambling is and where to seek help, which is great. However, they also need to comply with your requests for self-exclusion by offering you several options to do so. You can set custom deposit limits, you can get time out warnings and you can even close down your account if you feel the need to. This makes egaming safer and more fun for everyone.

We are more than satisfied with the regulation over this casino. Back to covering its various features, however, here is a list of the languages which the website it runs can be seen in, as well as the countries from where Goldenbet does not accept any clients:

Languages: English, German, French, Swedish (Svenska), Norwegian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish

Restricted countries: Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles, United States, United States Minor Outlying Islands, Virgin Islands, U.S.

Finally, if you are curious about the other casinos by the same operator, here is a list of the ones we have covered, with links to the reviews of each of them:

Other Santeda International B.V. Casinos:

• CosmoBet 
• MyStake 

Deposit and Withdrawal

Another thing about Goldenbet which we really like is the fact it has tons of payment methods it accepts – from credit cards, through e-wallets, to crypto. Here is a list of these means of deposit, as well as the different currencies you can cash in with:

Currencies: Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD), British Pound Sterling (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Brazilian Real (BRL), Australian Dollar (AUD)

The minimum deposit is claimed to be $20 in the Terms and Conditions of the house, but the payments page we accessed once we made an account set that to $10. We are inclined to believe the second number is the actual minimum deposit, but $10 to $20 is what most houses require you cash in at least these days anyways. We would have liked some more clarity on that matter, of course.

There are no fees for depositing by Goldenbet, but you should keep in mind that certain third party charges are possible. Usually, these are by the payment providers themselves, and are going to be especially notable when cashing in with crypto. Now, let's take a look at the withdrawal conditions as well:

Note that you need to wager the money you have cashed in at least once before withdrawing it, as part of a standard AML policy.

The minimum amount you can cash out is firmly set to $20, which is in line with other houses. However, it is higher for Crypto and MiFinity withdrawals – $50. That is a bit too much! The maximum you can withdraw is set to be $7000 every seven days in the Withdrawals policy of the casino, but it is listed as $7500 on the withdrawal page for some of these payment methods. That is once more a discrepancy between the Terms and Conditions and the actual conditions within the house. We are once more inclined to believe the number listed on the payments page.

The processing time for withdrawals is said to be within three days, which is pretty standard. There are no fees either, but once more you'd have to cover third party charges if any are applicable to your transaction. However, there is a standard fee for inactivity, which you can see outlined below:

Such charges are pretty commonplace in the industry nowadays, and cause no concern! The amount of money you're expected to pay is pretty small too.

Games and Game Suppliers

Here is a list of the Game suppliers which we saw listed on the website of the casino:

Game providers: TrueLab, Slotmill, Push Gaming, Oryx, Apollo Games, Igrosoft, Iron Dog Studio, Red Rake, Gamomat, EAgaming, Kalamba, Givme, Thunderspin, Real Time Gaming, Revolver Gaming, 7Mojos, EGT Interactiv, Tom Horn, Playson, Blueprint, Big Time Gaming, Stakelogic, Gamevy, Habanero, OneTouch, Yggdrasil, Onlyplay, BGaming, PariPlay, Evoplay, Fugaso, Spinomenal, Golden Hero, PGSoft, Felix Gaming, Betsoft, Endorphina, Gamzix, Thunderkick, Mr Slotty, 1x2gaming, Leander, Red Tiger Gaming, Microgaming, WorldMatch, Spade Gaming, GameArt, High 5 Games, CT Interactive, Amatic, Wazdan, Play'n GO, NetEnt, PragmaticPlay, Relax Gaming, Hacksaw, Nolimit City, Booongo, ELK, Other

This is a great amount of developers it has partnered with, around 50 in total, and that's about as many as we expect to see with casinos nowadays. Let's take a look at the games you can play too:

• Slots: There are thousands of slots to play, like Starburst XXtreme, Big Bass Bonanza, Book of Dead, Gates of Olympus, Wolf's Gold and many other legendary games.
• Table Games: Virtual and live dealer versions of Baccarat, Poker, Blackjack and Roulettes are all available for players. No casino experience would be complete without them!
• Game Shows: Crazy Time, Funky time and Crazy Coin Flip are all among the different Game Shows you can tune in to with Goldenbet.
• Mini Games: This section hosts several fast-paced Crash games like Aero, Chicken and Plinko.

The Sportsbook the casino has also deserves some attention:

• From Cricket to Floorball, there are thousands of events to prematch bet on. Some select sports also accept live bets. These are the bigger games like Tennis, Football, Cricket and so on.
• Esports like Dota 2 and Valorant are available as well, in a separate section of the website. Live betting can be done on some of them as well.
• There are also Racing events to bet on, and you can wager on Horses or Grayhounds. Unfortunately, you cannot live bet on these games.

Conclusion

To sum everything up, Goldenbet is a pretty good casino. If you can live with the lack of recurring deposit bonuses, we can recommend checking it out. That is because it is a licensed house with tons of games to play. Also, it is pretty good for sports lovers. On top of all, the payment policies of the house are great too – so why not give it a go?
