GoldenEuro Casino

GoldenEuro Casino looks old and outdated, and it is barely able to keep up with modern standards. It's just how it is, and so far we can't really see a bright future for it. Read the review to see where things went wrong.

BONUSES

€10 free welcome bonus: All we know about this one is that this is a no-deposit bonus, meaning that the client needs not invest to get it. There is a 60x wagering requirement attached to it, which is high, but understandable. The maximum cashout here is 5 times the bonus, equal to €50.

€200 Welcome Bonus on your first deposit: This is the welcome package that requires a €20 minimum deposit. The wagering needed to be completed is 30 times the sum sum of the deposit plus the bonus, and the maximum bet allowed is  €10, which is more than double that of other casinos.

Monthly Gold Bonus of 100% up to €200: Activate the bonus by investing a minimum deposit of €20. In order to withdrawal the user must complete a wagering requirement of 30 times the sum of the bonus plus deposit.

Weekly Bonus of 50% up to €100: Start off with only a €10 deposit. Wagering the bonus plus deposit 30 times to be able to withdrawal. This is applied once per week. No further info exists for the bonus. 

Unlimited Tuesday Bonus of 30% up to Unlimited: Invest a minimum deposit of €20, and wager what you get plus the deposit 30 times to unlock the withdrawal option. Available only on Tuesdays, and the maximum bonus is not capped.

Lazy Sunday Bonus of 50% up to €500: To start off with this one you need only invest€20. To withdrawal you need to wager the bonus and deposit 30 times.

Cashback Bonus of 25% up to €500: The only difference here is that the deposit must not have had a previous bonus applied to it. Moreover, the balance of the user's account must not go over €5. The maximum cashback by the time you claim your cashback, and there is a 10x wagering requirement.

Monday Rebate Bonus: This scheme depends on the minimum deposits, meaning that the more you invest the higher the bonus. From €100 granting a €25 free bonus, to €1000 to get a €200 free bonus. The bonus can be claimed each Monday. Another important requirement is for a client's account to not exceed €5 when applying the bonus. The wagering requirement is 30x them deposit plus bonus, but there is no limit to the amount one can withdrawal.

Roulette Bonus of 40% up to €120: There was no minimum deposit revealed here, only that the maximum bet allowed while using the bonus is €10, and that there is a wagering requirement of 30x. Applied on American and European roulette games.

Comp Points: These points accumulate and then exchanges for money to be played on the casino. For every €10 euros wagered you get 1 comp point. Reach 100 points to convert them into casino money.

LICENSE

GoldenEuro Casino is owned by Continental Ventures Ltd, a company regulated by the Antigua Gaming Commission, officially knows as the Financial Services Regulatory Commission, which has its own gambling division. As for the other company mentioned, namely Ge Gamma Ltd, this one processes the payments, and is based in the United Kingdom.

Here's the license proof offered by the casino website's footer:

As you can see this certificate or seal does not disclose too much information and does not near the same air of professionalism that, say, a Curacao license seal may bring, or some European one. But still, considering that the casino referred us to the legal site of a gambling regulator is proof that GoldenEuro Casino is not making this up. The Interactive Gaming license type means that the GoldenEuro Casino has the right to offer slots, video slots, poker, roulettes, lotteries, and more types of gambling.  In our book it confirms that Continental Ventures Ltd, and consequently GoldenEuro Casino, are fully regulated.

In the legal documents we are told that the website is governed by UK laws. This is a rather brazen claim, without much context. Yes, the country of Antigua and Barbuda is still in the British Commonwealth, even though it has achieved its independence more than 40 years ago. But being in the British Commonwealth is more of a symbolic standing than a legal requirement from its colonial past, so we find this UK claim way too oblique a statement to be taken seriously. The nation is a constitutional monarchy under the Kind of England, but still retains its autonomy with its parliamentary form of governance, meaning that its gambling laws are distinct from the UK ones.

If the casino was really functioning under the laws of the United Kingdom, wouldn't it need to adhere to UK's stricter and less liberal gambling laws? For one, credit card deposits are available at GoldenEuro Casino, a payment method that is completely blocked in the UK's by its gambling regulations. Moreover, the sheer amount of bonuses on offer here would also be locked in the United Kingdom under its strict rules. So, we find that this “UK laws” statement is unnecessary and misleading. Yes, the payment processor is registered in the UK, but we don't see how this ties with the casino itself.

However, Antigua finds itself on the United Kingdom's white-list of gambling jurisdictions, which actually means that Antigua-based casino can advertise their services to British punters. So technically, GoldenEuro Casino can be accessed by UK gamblers.

However, even though Antigua seems liberal in its regulatory standing, it would be careless to jump to unwarranted conclusions. In fact, the cost of opening a casino in Antigua is based on a set of mandatory payments. There is a one-time fee of $15 000 that is non-refundable that is paid for the casino's documents and website to be dully examined by the regulator. There is also an annual fee of $100 for the development of local gambling activities, more of a symbolic fee than anything else, but it has to be paid before being granted the license.

The regulator has placed great emphasis on the integrity and commitment to high gambling standards, best expressed in its firm belief of establishing a commitment to responsible gambling, and to making sure all operators and their businesses are themselves committed to the tenets of responsible gambling. Furthermore, the regulator places the protection of consumers within all licensed casino websites as priority, while also keeping all casino operators in check with regular audits and reports.

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

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

The situation with the payment methods is pretty standard, as there are a decent a amount of cards and wallets, and we can see most clients being content with them. However, despite the sufficient payment methods, there is absolutely no indication of a minimum deposit or withdrawal, and no processing times to boot. These two details are crucial to many users' decision making process, meaning that by not include them the casino can potentially lose clients.

Not to mention that we find a clause in the legal documents where it is said that the casino may decide which withdrawal method suits a user, whihc might bother some clients.

One thing that worries us is that there were no mention of fees, whihc usually means that the casino does not charge any. However, there might very well be payment system charges, and we can't thing of a good reason why GoldenEuro Casino would hide these fees.

Please note that all deposits have to be rolled over at least once in order to qualify for a withdrawal. If a user proceeds without turning over the deposit once, the casino has the full right to void all winnings, which as far as these clauses go is quite the penalty. Usually it something like 10% off of the withdrawal fee, but very rarely a downright annulation of all profit.

An account is dormant if it remains inactive for more than 12 months. After 5 years in such a state, the user will be charged with a one time fee of $120. There's plenty of time to avoid this commission.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

The statement that GoldenEuro Casino offers over 150 games claims seems like bragging when in reality this not really that much. But the casino's game lobby reveal more than 150 games.

The slot games are varied, sub-categorized into 6 reel, 5 reel, and 3 reel ones, plus bonus round slots, progressive ones, floating symbols, and pays any. Some popular slot games are Cash Bandits Museum Heist, Fortunes of Olympus, Mask of Atlantis, Merlin's Riches, Neon Wheel 7s, Dragon Gems, and more.

The table games section contains only 7 games of Blackjack, Roulette, and Poker with no further types or variations. There's also video poker, but there are less than 10 games in this categoru. So, the table games selection is definitely not a strong side here, if a side at all. With less than 2o table games, GoldenEuro Casino is definitely not for table game enthusiasts.

We found that the “specialty” games offered some limited variation, but only for so long, including Keno, Bingo, Scratch cards, Board games, and Shooting games.

It's an underwhelming and very dry selection of games and game suppliers, and it definitely cannot not make us want to recommend GoldenEuro Casino to anyone.

CONCLUSION

Despite its some of the positive side, there is nothing here good or punchy enough to make us recommend this casino.
