Cashiopeia Casino Review

Cashiopeia Casino. Oh dear, doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue does it? It doesn’t take a genius to figure that it’s a play on Cassiopeia, but that doesn’t explain exactly why it was chosen. Is it referring to the galaxy constellation or the beautiful but arrogant mother of Andromeda from Greek mythology? Or is it just because it sounds like “Cash, I’ll pay ya?” (sort of.) But I digress.

This review will dive into the details of this online casino, established in 2017, owned by Grasswood and licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority. What can you expect? And is it worth the sign up? Let’s find out.

Highlights

• Ongoing promotions, including a leaderboard competition
• Hundreds of slot games and scratch cards available
• New players automatically enrolled into VIP club

What Is the Welcome Bonus at Cashiopeia Casino?

This hefty welcome bonus isn’t delivered all at once, so it’s not the high roller paradise it might initially seem. However, that doesn’t mean it isn’t something worth considering. Here’s how it works:

• Your first deposit is matched 100% up to C$400
• Your second deposit is matched 50% up to C$200
• Your third deposit is matched 25% up to C$200
• Your fourth deposit is matched 25% up to C$400

The kicker is that your very first deposit comes accessorized with a very attractive 250 Free Spins. These are doled out in batches of 50 spins, landing in your account each day at noon for 5 days after your first deposit. They can’t be used on all Cashiopeia’s slots, but they are available on some really popular options like Starburst, Gonzo, Aloha, Twin Spin and Red Riding Hood.

And what about those pesky terms and conditions? Well, the minimum deposit is set at C$20, which isn’t terribly high but it is higher than the average casino’s ask of C$10. You should also be aware that both the bonus cash and the free spins need to be wagered 35 times before any winnings derived from them can be withdrawn.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that any unused Free Spins will expire after 24 hours, and all bonus cash expires 21 days after being handed out. That means you have less than a month to wager your bonus cash at 35 x.

Other Offers and Promotions

Cashiopeia Casino makes an effort to keep things interesting even after you’re exhausted the welcome bonus. My favorite of all the ongoing online casino bonuses and promotions is the Wild Chase Challenge, which is essentially a leaderboard competition. Players will need to spin the reels on selected iSoftBet slots to collect leaderboard points. Each bet awards 1 point. Climb to the top of the leaderboard to win a share of C$15,000. Sounds simple enough right? The method may be straightforward, but remember that you are up against a lot of players, so keep an eye on how quickly you move up the leaderboard in the early stages so you can determine how likely you are to walk away with a maximum prize of C$2,000. The best part of all is that no wagering will be required on money prizes. At the time of writing this review, I didn’t find no-deposit bonuses.

VIP and Loyalty Program

The minute you sign up to Cashiopeia you’ll be automatically enrolled into their Loyalty Program called ‘Exclusive Club’. This means that from this point on, all real money bets you place will start to accumulate Reward Points, starting from your very first deposit. You’ll earn 1 Reward Point for every €40 wagered, and once you’ve collected enough points you’ll be able to redeem them for bonus cash.

Total Points is your all-time point counter, including those you’ve already redeemed. Reach a certain number of Total Points to upgrade to a new level. Unfortunately, the uppermost levels can’t be accessed unless you’ve been personally invited by Cashiopeia, and they don’t specify how they select players.

Each new level unlocked will give you new online casinos‘ rewards, plus a higher redemption rate. Keep in mind that any bonus money you redeem isn’t free, you’ll need to wager the cash at 35 x before you can withdraw any of it, and your withdrawal limit is capped at C$100 per month.

What Games Can I Play at Cashiopeia Casino?

Cashiopeia Casino plays host to over 800 of the most in-demand casino games around. It’s one of those online casinos that tries to do everything, but there’s no doubt that the main focus is online slots and scratch cards. This is evidenced by the fact that these take up a huge chunk of the games on offer.

The site divides up its entertainment into Casino, Live Casino and Scratch Cards. All these are supplied by some of the world’s leading developers like Amaya, Cryptologic, Microgaming, NetEnt, NYX Gaming, Play ‘n Go, Neogames and many more. ‘Casino’ is quite a wide section because it holds everything from Video Slots and Progressives, to Blackjack, Roulette and Video Poker.

While on the site, I decided to hit a familiar slot classic. Sweet Bonanza 1000 was available on the site, and with an RTP of 96.48% and the chance to win up to 21,100 times your bet, the game’s cascading reels and multiplier features made for a thrilling and sweet experience. Luckily, I was able to land a few candies and come out with a profit.

Live Casino is hosted by the ever-dependable Evolution Gaming, allowing players access to about 27 titles. These range from standard variations of BlackJack, Roulette and Baccarat, to more novel titles like Football Studio and The Strip.

As long as your Flash Player is up to date, all games are also available in demo mode for free. So you can check them out before you commit any cash, or you could simply enjoy a spot of risk free gaming. Either way the option is there completely without commitment.

Payment Methods at Cashiopeia Casino

With Cashiopeia Casino forming part of a larger group of online casinos, you can expect their banking and payment set up to be above average. In fact, Canadians will find a deep pool of options, and although not all are compatible, more than enough of them are. Here are your options:

Withdrawals take between 3 and 5 days to hit your account if you’re using an eWallet, but longer if you’re going down the Credit Card or Bank Wire route. Your withdrawal limit is capped at C$7,000 per month, but you’ll be given a higher limit as you work through the upper VIP levels.

Deposits and withdrawals are free, although you may be charged external fees depending on your chosen payment option. Remember that while all options will allow you to deposit, not all will be suitable for withdrawals, PaySafeCard being a prime example of this.

How to Deposit

I had to put down some money before I started playing, so I went through with the depositing process. Here’s how it looked:

1. I clicked on the orange “Deposit” button on the homepage.
2. This time, I selected Visa as my payment method from the available options.
3. I entered C$100 as the amount to deposit.
4. I provided the necessary transaction details and submitted the form.
5. The funds were added to my CasinoMega account immediately after confirmation.

How to Withdraw Your Money

After some solid fun gaming, I decided to take out the rest of my funds:

1. I clicked on the user icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. From the drop-down menu, I chose the “Withdraw” option.
3. I clicked the “Withdraw Now” button to proceed.
4. For this withdrawal, I selected Visa as my method of choice.
5. I decided to withdraw C$80 this time.
6. I carefully entered the transaction details and confirmed the withdrawal.
7. The funds were processed and arrived in my Visa account about three days later.

Customer Support

The Cashiopeia Casino site hosts some great FAQs. I say great because they’re extensive, covering a full range of topics that are common among online casinos. The best part is that the lists of questions can be narrowed down using keywords and the in-built search bar, making it that much faster to find exactly what you need.

But if you prefer to get a customized response then you can reach out to Cashiopeia’s team via Live Chat. However, this isn’t a 24 hour service, so Canadian players will have to work within the timeframe of 6am and 11pm GMT. Alternatively, you can drop the team an Email, detailing your issue or question, and waiting a few hours to hear back.
