Vinyl Casino

Vinyl Casino's 70's funk house atmosphere is a great idea for a casino theme, and is definitely a highlight here. But a distracting theme is not attract users and retains them in the long run. Read the review to find out what this casino is really made of.

BONUSES

Weekly Cashback of 15% up to €3000: The maximum cashback amount depends on the user's VIP level. The maximum cashback is pretty high, but the losses one has to experience must also be exponential. There is a 1x wagering requirement, which in retrospect is nothing when compared to other casinos.

Welcome Bonus of 100% up to €500 Plus 200 Free Spins: In order to qualify you must deposit at least €20, and complete a 35x turnover for the bonus + deposit, and 40x for the free spins profit. Claim the free spins in 10 days, at the pace of 20 per day. The maximum profit is €1000 but only to user form certain jurisdictions, so you better check with the rep team as to your current cash-out limit.

Live Cashback of 25% up to €200: To activate this, the user must have a certain amount of net losses. But this bonus also adds free spins (on Valley of the Gods), up to 100, for everyday this bonus is active, up to 6 days in total. The wagering requirement is 1x.

10% Live Cashback Welcome Bonus up to €200: In order to qualify for this bonus, the user must not have used any previous bonus and not ever issued for a chargeback. Applied on live games, the cashback is based on net losses.

Weekly Reload Bonus of 50 Free Spins: In order to withdrawal any profit from the free spins the most important thing to know is the 40x wagering requirement attached to the preliminary free spins profits. Activate the FS after making an initial investment of €20.

Weekly Reload Bonus of up to €700 Plus 50 Free Spins: Invest at least €50 to activate both the bonus and free spins, and complete a 35x deposit plus bonus turnover requirement and a 40x free spins profit rollover to withdrawal.

Tournaments: Tournaments are great for making players participate in big gaming events where there are always prizes to be played for.   The current one is the Drops & Wins, which is a hugely popular and highly rewarding cross platform tournament that has been going on for a while, with thousands of players worldwide.

VIP: The loyalty program is a great way to increase your standing with the casino by reaching new levels and unlocking all sorts of bonuses, prizes, and privileges. The way to go up the ladder is to deposit and bet, and the more you do so the more VIP point you will earn towards your status.

Bonus Shop: Earn coins by investing; 5% of each deposit will be counted towards your purse, with every €100 wagered also adds to the total amount of coins. These can be traded in for free spins, crabs, and bonus money on specific games. Not many casinos include this seemingly simple expansion, which is quite engaging.

The casino promotions and bonuses are up there with the industry standards, and the interesting spin the casino takes, in tune with its groovy style, in particular the bonus shop, is definitely a major addition here, and a great way to boost the player's confidence. Of course, all bonus terms and conditions apply, and the client is advised to read through these not to miss on special rules such as the wagering requirement, the max cash-out limits, maximum bets, and the like.

LICENSE

UPDATE 22/06/2023: Vinyl Casino's Antillephone License is INVALID at the moment, due to its domain change. It is no longer VinyCasino.com but VinylCasino3.com, and that has some regulatory repercussions.

What does this tells us exactly? Well for one, that the casino used to be regulated but something occurred in the past and as a consequence to this Vinyl Casino had its license revoked, at least temporarily. Although not a direct risk to users' funds and personal details, this new development entails a fundamental change in the casino and its relationship to its clientele. We suppose that sometime in the near future everything will go back to normal, and Vinyl Casino will have its license back.

Some might underestimate this offshore license, but the truth is that Curacao is where it's at; where all the new generation of casino's are headed, and despite its licensing predicament Vinyl Casino  is part of that movement. Yes, it may be taken as generally less reputable than UK or Maltese casinos, but in fact it is close to having their level of security, without all the tight gaming rules, like restrictions on bonuses, on gaming providers, and payment methods.

It goes without saying that the most important part of any casino is for it to feel safe and secure, away from fraudulent actors and mischievous players. To make sure that all players are safe, and their money is secure, Vinyl Casino, as well as other Curacao based casinos, has included top of the line safety precautions, without compromising its best sides: SSL servers, fraud prevention policies, dedicated security teams and software, AML laundering policies and special KYC practices, and more.

And in fact, Vinyl Casino makes sure to cover these basic rules in much the same way that mainland casino do, by including fair and unbiased gambling systems, most often through a random number generator software, guaranteeing that each and every bet or spin is purely based on chance.

Another major responsibility is the provision of Responsible Gaming practices, including payment limits, play session caps, the ability to allow users to self exclude, and more. This is essential not only to provide users with real and honest help, but also to announce to the online gambling world that Vinyl Casino takes this affliction seriously.

Another, often underrepresented, requirement is to have a solid customer support team, open to 24/7 chats and able to answer to all sorts of queries. This way the casino's participants can feel cared for, and thus more happy to come back later.

Rant Affiliates, the company that owns the casino, has also these brands on offer:

• Rant Casino: A great casino, and the company's crown jewel, this casino puts it all to the front by offering an exciting gambling experience, with a great selection of games, payment methods, and bonuses. Regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority, you know that this casino will be a very safest choice.
• Flaming Casino: A relatively new casino, this one needs no thick shoes to step into, only a clear mind; the rest the casino can offer – great games, super suppliers, an assortment of payment methods, and a great aesthetic to boot, overseen by the same Curacao authority that presides over this one.
• Scream Casino: The newest in the Rant catalogue, Scream Casino might be the most ambitious one yet, with an impressive collection of more than 9000 games, a multitude of payment options, tons of promotions and bonuses, and more features that one can count. Also regulated by Curacao, this one aims to please.

Restricted countries: Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom, Show All, Afghanistan, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Curaçao, Cyprus, Côte d'Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Korea, North, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Ukraine, United States

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

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

The payment methods are what keep this casino all together, since the variation of payment gateways is one of the key factors in a casino's life, that and the games of course. Despite the variation, the methods change from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so the ones we have indicated are the most popular ones we found used throughout numerous jurisdictions.

One thing that is important to know is that the maximum withdrawal daily and weekly limit depends entirely on the VIP level of a user. So, essentially, the more one invests (to build up his VIP level) the higher amounts he can withdrawal. More details are laid out on the website terms and conditions.

There are no fees discussed, but as we know from other online gambling platforms, many payment systems include their own commission.

Despite the indicated minimum deposits and withdrawals, we learn that the firm has the right to change these numbers at any time before warning, which seems like an unnecessary move that will upset some users.

There is a 1x deposit rollover requirement for every deposit amount out there. If not completed, and the user proceeds with a withdrawal, he will be taxed a 10% commission and the casino may cancel all his winnings; a very suspicious clause that can cost a user everything. The fee changes to 15% if the account was credited by means of a bank card or wire transfer.

The dormant account fee is €5 if the user has not been active for more than 180 days. This is nothing special, and all casinos have this. Not to mention that €5 is not at all pricy.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

As we said, the casino games are a major part of the entire platform ability to compete and thus survive. Vinyl Casino is aware of this fact, otherwise we wouldn't be talking about this.

Games and game variety is the least of your worries here. Thousands of games have been included, most notable of which are the video slots titles. These games come in all hues and colors, from Ancient Egypt, Norse Mythology, and Cowboy Slots, to Animal, Holliday, and History themed, to anything in between. But the themes are one thing; there are the titles themselves, of which Vinyl Casino has included some huge names and some more up and coming ones, giving both the room to expand, as well as the time to attract and retain users.

Aside from the main show – the video slots – we also have here live casino games and non-live ones, that are all based on popular table games such as Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, you get the picture.
