Milky Way Casino

Milky Way Casino is a relatively new and unproven online casino. The website is good looking and easy to navigate. The casino is focused exclusively on slots – live casino offerings are very limited and there is no sports betting.

Milky Way Casino offers multiple payment methods and fairly standard terms, but the bonuses and promotions offered are rather disappointing and don't allow it to stand out from the competition. In this review, we will take a detailed look at what Milky Way Casino offers so you can decide if this is the right online casino for you.

Milky Way Casino BONUSES

At first glance, Milky Way Casino offers an attractive Welcome Package providing bonuses for the first three deposits of a new player totalling €1,500 plus 175 free spins. But after reading the terms and conditions, it becomes clear that you have to choose between the deposit bonus and the free spins. Many online casinos offer Welcome Packages that include more generous bonuses and cover a new customer's first four or even five deposits. Milky Way Casino does not offer deposit bonuses or free spins promotions for regular customers except for the cryptocurrency deposit bonus. There is a cashback promotion, but it depends on your account level in the casino's loyalty program.

The First deposit bonus gives you a choice of three options. One is a matching deposit bonus of 150% up to a maximum of €500. In order to withdraw any winnings you must have wagered the deposit amount plus the bonus 40 times. This is a standard level as far as most online casinos require wagering bonus funds of x30-x50. The required minimum deposit of €20 is also common in the industry.

But Milky Way Casino states a rather restrictive cash-out limit of 2,000 euros for this bonus. The maximum single bet is also rather low at €3.

The second option is to select 50 free spins for the Release the Kraken 2 slot by Pragmatic Play instead of the deposit bonus. Wins from these free spins must be wagered 20 times before withdrawal. The maximum amount you can win and withdraw is €1000. The third choice is 50 free spins for Dragon Lore Gigarise by Yggdrasil, which do not require wagering. But the cash-out limit is quite low, only 300 euros.

The Second deposit bonus includes a choice between  50 Free Spins on the 7 Gold Gigablox slot by Yggdrasil or a 100% bonus up to €500. The deposit bonus requires a minimum deposit of €30 and must be wagered 35 times before withdrawal. The maximum win is €1,500. Free spins require a deposit of at least €15. The wagering requirement is x20 and the cash out limit is €750.

With a third deposit of at least €30, you can choose between 75 Free Spins in the Sword of Ares slot by Pragmatic Play or a 75% bonus up to €500. The wagering requirement for the deposit bonus is x30 and for free spins wins x20. The maximum possible winnings are €1,500 and €750 respectively.

The only way to get a deposit bonus from this casino after the new customer promotions run out is to make a deposit in cryptocurrency. This bonus is quite modest – only 15% up to a maximum of 500 euros. The minimum deposit required is the equivalent of €20, and the maximum amount you can win and withdraw when using the bonus is €5,000. The plus point of this bonus is that it does not require wagering.

The only other Milky Way Casino bonuses are related to the VIP loyalty program. We have a negative impression that the website does not provide detailed information on the requirements for increasing the account level in this loyalty program. The casino promises a Birthday Bonus, which the user can redeem once a year. But the amount of this bonus is not specified. Only a cashout limit of x5 the bonus amount is specified.

Depending on your account level, you can claim a daily cashback of between 3% and 25% of your losses in real money. The maximum cashback amount is €1,000 or equivalent in another currency. This promotion requires a wager of x5, which must be made within three days of cashback activation. Maximal withdrawal sum is x5 from the cashback sum.

Bonuses including promotional offers are not available for players from the Russian Federation.

Milky Way Casino LICENSE

Milky Way Casino is based in the most popular offshore online gambling hub, Curacao. The casino is operated by the company WoT N.V., which is certified by one of the four master license holders in this jurisdiction, Gaming N.V.

Curacao attracts online casinos with more favorable financial conditions. This on the one hand means looser financial stability requirements than in other online gambling hubs such as the UK or Malta. On the other hand, it provides an opportunity for casinos to offer more generous bonuses and promotions. But unfortunately this is not the case for Milky Way Casino. If this casino manages to establish itself, perhaps it will start offering more attractive bonuses, but at the time of writing this review it lags significantly behind some competitors.

The Curacao license does provide important guarantees for the customer though. Master license holders make sure casinos provide hassle-free deposit and withdrawal processes and ensure personal data is protected.

Licensed casinos are also monitored whether they are using software that has been manipulated to their advantage and to the detriment of the customer. This ensures fair play. Milky Way Casino also complies with responsible gambling policies that include the option for the player to request self-exclusion.

Offshore registration allows Milky Way Casino to accept customers from more territories than casinos in more strictly regulated jurisdictions. But you should be aware that some leading gaming providers impose their own regional restrictions. It is therefore advisable to check in advance whether you will have access to the titles you are interested in.

Restricted countries: Australia, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Show All, Austria, Curaçao, Cyprus, France, Iran, Korea, North, Myanmar, Spain, United States

Milky Way Casino DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

Milky Way Casino offers a variety of payment methods ranging from credit cards and e-wallets to cryptocurrencies and region-specific payment processors. But you should keep in mind that the available methods for withdrawing funds are significantly more limited than deposit methods.

The minimum amount for a single deposit and single withdrawal is €20. The casino does not charge withdrawal fees, but requires that you have placed bets of at least three times the amount of your deposits. This is a standard requirement related to anti-money laundering measures. But it is to the higher side, as many online casinos have a rollover requirement of x1. If you request a withdrawal without having met this requirement, the casino will charge a substantial commission of 20% of the amount.

In cases when your balance is at least 10 times larger than the total sum of your deposits, you will be limited to € 5,000 (or currency equivalent) for withdrawal per month. In other cases the maximum withdrawal amount per month is €20,000.

Accounts that are inactive for more than 12 calendar months are charged an administrative fee of 5 euros per month.

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

Milky Way Casino GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

Milky Way Casino impresses with the vast number of titles it offers – over 6000. But the variety of these games is not so impressive. Over 30 leading providers are represented in the casino's catalog, but more established online casinos often offer games from over 100 companies. The vast majority of the games offered by Milky Way Casino are slots, with some table games, jackpots and instant games to add to this. There is also a live casino section, but it offers a rather sparse, albeit varied selection of 10 titles.

The interface of the website is quite convenient and allows for quick navigation to the type of games or the specific title you are interested in.

Game providers: 1x2gaming, 3 Oaks, Belatra, Betsoft, BGaming, Big Time Gaming, Booming Games, Caleta, CT Interactive, EGT Interactiv, Endorphina, Evolution, Evoplay, Eyecon, Fugaso, Hacksaw, Iron Dog Studio, KA Gaming, LuckyStreak, Mascot, Microgaming, NetEnt, NetGame, OneTouch, Onlyplay, PGSoft, Platipus, Play'n GO, Playson, Quickspin, Real Time Gaming, Red Rake, Relax Gaming, Retro Gaming, Spade Gaming, Spinomenal, Spribe, Thunderkick, Tom Horn, Triple Cherry, Vivo Gaming, Yggdrasil

Milky Way Casino CONCLUSION

Like any newly launched online casino, Milky Way Casino has pros and cons. Milky Way Casino focuses exclusively on slot games and provides a huge selection for fans of this type of games, but doesn't offer much for players who prefer more variety. The diversity of payment methods is a plus, but it can hardly make up for the rather modest bonuses. Milky Way Casino has potential for development, but at the time of writing this review it's not the most impressive option.
