Ricky Casino review: 5 things to know before depositing

Ricky Casino is not really a casino that stands out from the rest of the e-gaming companies out there. It has a generic website design, and lacks any specific theme or an interesting mascot. As it turns out, that was indicative of the services of the company. For instance, it has an average amount of payment methods, about as much as one would expect in terms of bonuses and so on. Probably the most interesting thing about the casino is the fact it lies about its regulation. Of course, that is not a positive thing. But there is a lot more to go over when it comes to this casino, and we have examined every one of its features in more detail in the review below:

Bonuses

The bonuses which are available with Ricky Casino are listed below:

Let’s go over the Welcome bonus first. It might seem to offer a pretty huge payout, but you should note that is the total the bonus offers. It covers the first six deposits one makes with the casino, and awards a certain amount of money to each of them. The six different bonuses which make up this welcome package are all of up to €200 and 20 Free Spins. But we should note that the first of them is calculated in a different way to the rest. It is 100% of your deposit, while the other bonuses are only 50% of it. This means that you will need to deposit €200 to claim the full first deposit bonus and €400 for the rest of them. The minimum deposit is set to €20 at every step. This minimum is actually pretty average, and about as much as most casinos demand of their clients who wish to use bonuses.

We should mention the wagering requirements of the casino. They are set to an unreasonably high amount of 50x. If you are not sure what that means, casinos require you to wager their bonuses a certain amount of times. Usually, that amount of times is between 30x and 40x. However, Ricky Casino sets it higher. And if you are a Finnish player, the amount is doubled for some reason! You would need to clear a 100x wagering requirement! Considering that the bonus expires in three days after being received this is an extremely restrictive wagering requirement, which puts this casino far behind its peers.

The next bonus is the Tuesday Bonus. It has the same minimum deposit and grants you up to €100. Note that to claim this promotion, you need to have performed at least three other deposits. There is the same wagering requirement, which applies here as well. You have three days to clear it, which is, once again, pretty ridiculous. Nevertheless, there are no cash out limits at least.

Fans of slot games will be able to get the Wednesday Bonus which is offered by the casino. They need to put in the same amount of money as with the rest of the promotions, at which point, they will get up to 200 Free Spins. Now, that is a good amount of Spins to get. But there are tons of restrictions to keep in mind. First, there is the same insane turnover requirement as before. Second, there is a very restrictive cash out limit of just €40. Third, the bonus expires in three days. This is by far the least appealing of the promotions.

The fourth type of bonus you can get from Ricky Casino is the Friday Bonus. As the name implies, it is available on the fifth day of the week. It is not different from the Tuesday bonus in any way, except for the fact it has double the maximum amount of money you can get.

The next bonus is called the Birthday bonus. Now, some casinos offer no-deposit bonuses on your birthday. That is not the case for Ricky Casino, which does not seem to understand the point of a birthday gift. The casino issues an unappealing 50% bonus with a minimum deposit requirement of €75 and a maximum of €150. Not only that, but the same conditions apply, meaning you will have to contend with a large turnover requirement, as well as deal with a short expiration date.

Finally, for high-rollers who wish to deposit a lot of money with the casino, the VIP Bonus will let them get a 30% of deposits between €1000 and €2000 as bonus money. This means the maximum you can get with the promotion is €600. While that is a good amount of money, you need to consider the fact that the same restrictions in terms of the expiration date and the wagering requirement will apply. You can just get more for your deposits in other casinos, that don’t have such weird and restrictive policies!

In conclusion, the bonuses offered by Ricky Casino are pretty bad, and we cannot recommend getting either one of them. There is no reason to struggle to comply with the unusual demands of the casino when other houses have much better conditions for their promotions.

License

Being licensed is one of the most important things for an online casino. Ricky Casino says so itself, as it claims to be a safe company, fully compliant with the laws of Curacao. To prove this, the casino offers us the following claim:

The license it supposedly holds with the Antillephone did not come up when we looked for it in the register of the casino. Here is what we got instead:

So Ricky Casino lies about its regulation, which is pretty shady. Worse yet, it means there is no way to know whether the casino actually follows the sensible policies of the Curacao regulatory body. These include rules regarding the way that the games offered should be made, in order to eliminate any kind of bias towards the casinos. The random number generators within them need to be certifiably fair, for instance. Not to mention that licensed casinos usually also have a set of rules they comply with in order to combat financial crime like money laundering. Either way we slice it, we simply cannot recommend an unlicensed casino.

Deposit and Withdrawal

The number of deposit and withdrawal methods which are available with Ricky Casino are listed below:

This is a pretty decent selection, which includes most of the payment methods one would most commonly use with any casino. There are credit cards and wire transfers. E-voucher payments are available via PaySafe Card. You can use either one of four e-wallets: Neteller, Skrill, AstroPay or Jeton. Crypto payments via Bitcoin or Tether are available.

Another positive aspect of the casino is the reasonable minimum deposit and withdrawal requirements. These are set to about €20. occasionally lower, for deposits and exactly €20 or its equivalent for withdrawals. That is about as much as the minimums are with most casinos these days. Also, they are processed quite fast – within 24 hours for deposits and within three days for withdrawals. Note that, despite what Ricky Casino claims about its wire transfer processing speed, these payments can take longer amounts of time to clear, if they are from or to banks abroad.

There are no fees for withdrawing. Also there does not seem to be a penalty for withdrawing before the deposits have been wagered at least once. That is not common in the industry, and can be interpreted to be a failure in anti money laundering policies.

There is a fee for inactive accounts:

This is a pretty reasonable amount, and about as much as most casinos set their fees to.

Games and Game Suppliers

As for the games themselves, the casino features some big name game suppliers. These include Pragmatic Play, BGaming, Netent, Evolution, Play n Go, Nolimit City, Ezgui, Wazdan, QuickSpin, Red Tiger Gaming, Playsoft and others. In total, there are about 20, though, which is pretty low. Most casinos have about 100 providers’ games available. There are several different categories the titles of these suppliers are listed in.

The first of them is Slots. Here you will find games like Gold Express, Sunlight Princess, Dragon Wealth, Burning Sun and many others. Fans of classic casino experiences will be able to play Table Games. These include Baccarat, Poker, Blackjack, Roulettes and so on.  There is a Live Games section which features live versions of the table games we mentioned before. You can play a low amount of Game Shows too, with ones like Crazy Time, Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt, Cash or Crash and so on being available.

Conclusion

This casino has a lot of issues. There is the lack of regulation which is the most obvious of them, but even innocuous things like its shallow games library make the experience with Ricky

Casino pretty unpleasant. We just think that it would be best to take your money to another casino, where you can simply have more fun.
