Pause&Play Casino

Pause&Play Casino has its target audience drawn out and if you have no other choice this casino will do. But if you do have a choice of this one or something else, it's a no brainer- reach for the alternative.

BONUSES

Weekly Deposit Bonus of 100% up to €500: The first requirement in order to participate in this promotion is for the user to have been with the account for more than 31 days (times since first registering). The user must also have no pending withdrawal for the last 30 days.
In order to withdrawal the client needs to complete a wagering equal to 70 times the bonus, which is twice the normal amount and makes this bonus a bit useless; such a high wagering is very difficult to complete. Even more so when considering that the bonus is active for only 7 days. There was no minimum deposit revealed.

Cashback Bonus of 25% up to €500: Again, this promotion is available to users who have had an active account for more than 31 days, and to those that have not made a withdrawal in the past 30 days. Also users with a minimum negative balance of at least €1 can participate. The 70x wagering requirement returns and it as absurd as ever. The bonus is active for 7 days total, which is also the time frame for completing the wagering. The max win here is capped at €1500, given the users are capable of adhering to the stringent rules.

Fidelity Bonus of a €50 Voucher: Who do you think can participate in this promotions? That's right, those that have already been active for 31 days and have not made any attempts at withdrawing for more than 30 days. But this bonus is actually available to clients who have already made at least one prior deposit. The 70x wagering returns, and again is rears its ugly head. And to make it worse, the users have only 7 days to complete this massive wagering. And it not all worth it, considering that the maximum profit one can generate from this is €50.

Double Your Deposit Bonus of 100% up to €600: This is more of an incentive and less of a bonus, at least that's how wee see it. The scheme is all about visiting a real life location of Pause&Play Casino, for it has its own physical location across Spain. But confoundingly, we again find the requirements of not withdrawing for 30 days and having an account for more than 31 days. So, what we won't be able to enter the physical casino if out online casino account is less than 30 days of age? Absolutely absurd! But there's more to it: there is a 50x wagering requirement that has to be completed in 7 days. The maximum money you can get from this bonus is €3000. To activate it you need to make a deposit at a so-called Pause&Play ATM.

Happy Birthday Bonus of  a €50 Coupon: Even the birthday bonus has that confounding requirement of having an account for more than 31 days and not having made a withdrawal request for more than 30 days. Also, if it's your birthday but you have not made at least one previous deposit, well tough luck, you have to make one and wait until next year. But is it really worth it with the whole 70x wagering requirement that has to be completed in 7 days? Not really , considering that the max you can profit from this here bonus is €150.

Special Events: Event Calendar for Christmas, Special Roulette Events, and more await users. The casino is active in these, and we find these to be so much better than the core bonuses above.

With ultra high wagering requirements, odd deposit and withdrawal prerequisites, and other confusing bonus conditions we don't think that users will have fun with any of the bonuses we talked about. Perhaps the only exclusion here are the tournaments and special events. As for the rest, we do not know what has gotten into Pause&Play for offering such ridiculous bonuses.

LICENSE

Pause&Play Casino's games are regulated by the General Directorate of Gaming Regulation. We went to the official site of this regulator and found that the domain of the casino is authorized, essentially meaning that Pause&Play Casino is licensed. But we have to comment the fact that the casino is licensed in Spain and is pretty much confined within this nation. This is first and foremost a Spanish casino. 

Of course, this is a regulatory body like any other, with small differences to cater to the local Spanish clientele. Spain is an interesting case because it was in 2012 that the nation's authorities officially authorized the functioning of the online gaming market within the country's legal bounds.

Casinos under the license are pretty much required to provide and adhere to established rules and codes of conduct. For one, the regulators requires a transparent casino structure  as well as clean casino games and conditions.

This also extends to the requirement of of guarantying a scam-free environment, that is safe and secure for users. All games have to be fair and unbiased, which is a huge priority so that users never feel cheated.

The security and safety of all payments, deposits and withdrawals, is also a massive prerequisite, one that cannot be ignored. User funds have to be safe and kept away from harm in order to build any sort of rapport.

Then there is the active participation of the casino against under age gambling as well as gambling addiction. With this license the casino guarantees that users suffering gambling addiction will be treated under special care, while under age gambling is absolutely prohibited.

In essence, the General Directorate of Gaming Regulation is like most regulators out there, albeit this one being directed at Spanish users as this casino is catered to that audience. This means that there might be certain rules, terms, and casino-specific elements that may feel off; but that's only because the casino culture in Spain is different from other countries.

This casino is actually an online extension of a casino that focuses mainly on fully functioning physical branched across Spain.

Languages: Spanish

Restricted countries: Korea, North

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

Currencies: Euro (EUR)

Pause&Play Casino offers no quick way to the payment details. In other words there was no payments page, and thus we had to go to the confusing legal papers to look for any payment terms we could find. It was a pain to go through the legals, and turn up almost empty handed. The limited payment details reveals only a minimum deposit of €10 and a max of €600. Also, we know that the maximum withdrawal amount is €2000. As for the payment methods the core of the conditions, we only saw vague mentions of credit cards, debit cards, and wire transfer. The last payment detail worth mentioning is one that claims users can have up to 5 active withdrawal requests at a time per account, which is great but we don't really see this as a crucial addition. We would have liked better to have a grasp on the payment methods.

There is an inactivity fee of €5 applied after a period of account dormancy equal to or bigger than 365 days. The charge is applied per month, until the client reactivates the account or the money in it is depleted.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

Game providers: Big Time Gaming, Red Tiger Gaming, NetEnt, Novomatic, PragmaticPlay, Merkur

There's no way hiding it. Pause&Play Casino's gaming hub is poorly organized and its looks leave a lot to be desired. It's basically acting as a very accurate foreshadow of the games collection itself.

First off, we have the slots. Here we saw big names such as The Dog House Megaways, Gonzo's Quest Megaways, Apollo God of Sun, Book of Fire, John Hunter and the Book of Tut, Fruit Party, Zeus vs Hades Gods of War, Gates of Olympus, Lucky Lady's Charm, Big Bass Splash, Startlight Princess, Sugar Rush, Gonzo's Quest, and other. This was a genuine surprise. Some of the biggest games in the industry were here, but this could not redeem the casino from the hard fact that there are only 475 slot titles at the time of writing this. The average collection of slots is almost 7 times larger than this, and so in other words Pause&Play Casino has really nothing to offer its clients in terms of video slots; nothing that they can't get form the next casino.

The live games section was also a major disappointment, with only 2 dozen games or so. We found aroun 20 games of live Roulette, 3 Blackjack titles, and Dream catcher. If that's what consists a collection, then the casino is breaking grounds here. No but seriously, this is as bad as it can get. At least the casino offers 62 Bingo games, none of which are actualyl live games, but it's good to have some alternatives, although limited as well.

The casino also advertises its local physical locations, and hints at offering sport betting platform at these locations. But that's as much evidence as we get. It really feel like Pause&Play Casino is a promotional extension of the physical Pause&Play casinos scattered throughout Spain. As a stand alone gambling platform this online casino as as incapable as it can get.

CONCLUSION

This casino is definitely not good, in terms of accepted standards and compared to most casinos we review on a daily basis. The only goof thing that we have here is the license. Everything else, from the games to the bonuses and the limited payment conditions speak for themselves.
