Monsino

Monsino's allure comes mainly from its license, which is one of the best in the industry, and a guarantee of safety. But below the surface this online gambling platform turned out to be slightly underwhelming, caused by a strong habit of withholding important information and at best an industry standard selection of games. And that is despite its wager-free bonus policy.

BONUSES

All new players can play with a total of 4 welcome package deposit bonuses with only free spins as bonus. Each bonus requires a minimum deposit of €10 to activate, but remember that each €1 deposit grants the user 1 free spin, so in order to get all 250 free spins the user must invest at least €250 per welcome bonus.

• 1st Deposit Bonus up to 250 Free Spins: Free spins apply on the Book of Tut video slot.
• 2nd Deposit Bonus up to 250 Free Spins: The spins apply on the Floating Dragon game.
• 3rd Deposit Bonus up to 250 Free Spins: Applied only on the popular Big Bass Bonanza video slot.
• 4th Deposit Bonus up to 250 Free Spins: Again, only applied to the a single slot game: Bigger Bass Bonanza.

We are faced with a very problematic side to the casino, that of the lack of further bonus transparency. The website contains mentions of other bonuses, and as a last resort we relied on the FAQ section for these vague bonus conditions.
The legal documents also completely disappointed us on all the bonus fronts as there are no details to speak of there. It seems that the only way to examine what the bonuses are is to register, and this is not a move that we endorse since it is crucial information that is locked up behind a very steep requirement- that of creating an account, i.e giving away personal details, only to be let down by the bonuses (hypothetically).
So, the FAQ section remains the only section of the casino website that contains helpful but incomplete bonus information for the non-registered.

Live Casino Bonus: This bonus is usually applied to live casino games like Poker, Roulette, Blackjack, and the rest, and there are specific betting requirements as well as wagering to fill. But there are no specifics to rely on here.

Tournaments: Tournaments are a great way to engage new and old player, and to create a competitive but fun prize-chasing events. At Monsino Casino we are told that there are weekly slots tournaments and leaderboards.

One thing to note is that Monsino Casino DOES NOT apply wagering requirements, meaning that once you get a sufficient amount for a cash-out there is no need to turn it over, not even once! But you do need to meet the full bonus T/Cs.

LICENSE

Monsino is owned and operated by Infiniza Limited, an impressive casino operating firm that owns 11 online casinos, including this one. If you liked the other Infiniza Limited casinos, then just wai until you learn about this one.

The best thing about it is that the company is fully authorized by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Just to skim the deep impact of this regulation, players have to know that they are protected by certified SSL encryption technologies, deposit and withdrawal are safe and overlooked by casino agents, and there is a general dogma of a safe and transparent online casino environment.

As one of the very fist casino regulators, you know that MGA has accumulated years worth of experience, evidenced by its stringent requirements and diligent approach to regulating. Not only is it hard to be granted a license from it, but even after approval the casino will have to adhere to MGA's many mandates.

In order to get licensed by the regulator, a casino must provide a ton of material, not limited to a total background check of operators, bank statements as proof of financial stability, even copies of utility bills, third party relationship proof (if any), a business plan detailing the core operations of the whole ordeal, ID copies, hosting servers information, and a ton more. And that's just to be considered for the license.

The most crucial thing is for each casino under MGA, including Monsino, to be able to provide a safe and fair online casino environment for each of its players. This is guaranteed by the aforementioned SLL servers, the secure payment gateways, the maintenance of a state of responsibility toward users and the gambling community as a whole, segregated bank accounts, the ability to respond to complaints in a flash, and so much more.

Moreover, Monsino is also secured by the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider POGG, a firm that will do its best to resolve any and all legal disputes between the casino and the player. Malta based casinos are also responsible for including gambling addiction preventions policies, by promoting responsible gaming and applying controls on deposit limits, withdrawal caps, play time sessions, as well as the ability to block or suspend users (for their own good).

Regulated casinos also have steep AML and fraud prevention policies that make sure the casino is rid of any bad actors or malpractices so that clients can invest and take out money without any risks. 

Monsino is truly a safe and secure online casino environment, but it may not be for all, seeing how divisive certain elements are.

The the minimum deposit is €10, while the minimum withdrawal has not been revealed. Withdrawals are processed within 72 hours, and there are payment conversion fees applicable for cross currency transactions.

There is the classic deposit wagering requirement that must be completed before applying for a withdrawal, unless you want to be charged a 30% withdrawal fee. If it wasn't for the low rollover requirement, this fee would be outrageous.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

Monsino Casino opens up with a capable and fulfilling collection of casino games, provided by some of the best online casino games providers around.

Video slots return here, and we don't doubt they are some of the industry's finest, with new additions that will become future classics. Unfortunately, we don't have any specific names for you, since this info is limited. The FAQ section claims that there are over 3000 slots games in total, which may seems a lot, and it objectively is, but nowadays most casinos consider this a very standard number. The range of slot types include Jackpot slots, Progressive slots, Megaways, Action slots, and more.

Players at Monsino can also try out a variety of table games like roulette, baccarat, poker of course, lotteries, and virtual sports. Then there is the dedicated live section of the casino, apparently offering Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette, Poker, Game Shows, Spin the Wheel, Crash Live, and other popular casino floor games and their dozens variations.

Monsino also includes fixed odd betting games, which is basically the most popular form of betting on various sporting events. These area provided by tw0 separate companies: Soft Construct and Delasport.

With all that said, information is limited on the site in terms of the actual games and providers. Yes, it's great to have a colorful choice, but it would have been even nicer to actually get a sight of these games. For unregistered users the issue is that none of the games have been exposed. It seems that this issue of restricting important information, only available to the account holders, transcends another important side of the website. And we consider this a core problem of Monsino Casino.

A huge miss within the casino is the absence of a sports betting platform, which is what all the kids talk about today. It's the new rising trend. With sports betting, the user has bet on live sporting and other events. Not including this one is a statement of being somewhat outdated.

Game providers: Evolution, PragmaticPlay, Play'n GO, Yggdrasil, Quickspin, Nolimit City, Red Tiger Gaming, ELK, Stakelogic

CONCLUSION

We feel like we don't need to say more. Monsino has got you covered on most fronts, but it certainly lack that competitive edge that we expected to see. If you want a good and online casino experience Monsino's your thing, but if you want a truly modern and forward thinking casino, better look elsewhere.
