Fortune Legends

When Fortune Legends launched in May 2019, this online casino was determined to make a splash with its  fresh take on rewarding players. I firmly regard high wagering requirements as unwanted remnants of the dark ages of online gaming, so I’m immediately intrigued when I hear the words ‘wager-free’.

Fortune Legends is licensed and registered in Malta, and welcomes all players and currency from Canada. It all sounds great on paper — now let’s put the theory to the test.

Fortune Legends Casino – The Highlights

• Huge selection of games available
• Excellent cashback loyalty program
• Accepts CAD and Canadian players

Instead of bonus cash and impossible wagering requirements, Fortune Legends is handing out spins without strings. Any wins achieved with these spins can be immediately cashed out into real money. In other words, they’re welcoming new players with a genuine gift designed to reward and nothing more.

How does it work? After creating your account players will be asked to deposit money to get playing. This will be a minimum of C$10, but the more you deposit, the more spins you get, up to a maximum of 55. Once your spins land in your account you’ll be able to use them of specific slots like Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest and Secrets of Atlantis.

There are a few things that players need to keep in mind. First up, they’ll need to use up the spins within 7 days of signing up, otherwise they’ll be voided. Secondly, your first deposit must not be made using EcoPayz, as this method doesn’t qualify for the welcome bonus. And finally, each spin will be set to the lowest possible bet, so you probably won’t be cashing out big time (and of course a win is in no way guaranteed anyway), but taking into account that this is genuinely free money, it’s pretty hard to complain.

Fortune Legends has made an obvious effort when it comes to their Loyalty Program. They’ve given it the very strong name of ‘Vault’ and it aims to offer repeat players genuine, trackable value.

So what’s so great about it? The casino site makes the very enticing statement that they offer players “the option to cash in on every spin”. This sounds like a dream come true. The reason they can make this claim is because players are rewarded for every slot bet they place. With each spin, 0.5% of all the turnover goes straight back into the Vault. Players are free to cash out the contents of their Vault at any time, with no turnover requirements. This is especially beneficial to high rollers who are dealing in larger sums.

It really is as simple as that. Fortune Legends Casino has an ambivalence toward wagering requirements that’s possibly stronger than that of most players. The result is that they appear absolutely nowhere on the site. Instead of points building up in exchange for bonus cash, players rack up real cash with a cashback system that’s completely unshackled. The only tiny catch is that not all games available are eligible for Vault earnings, but these are clearly marked and transparent. All in all, it could be the best loyalty program I’ve come across yet.

Weekly boosted games are another reason to stick around. Each week Fortune Legends will select a few games and boost the winning percentage. This is great fun, not only because you’ll have a bigger chance of winning, but also because you’ll get the chance to try out new games that you might have previously missed.

Considering Fortune Legends Casino is hosting over 1,800 games, it manages to keep things simple and straightforward. Offering a selection of Casino entertainment across slots, jackpots and table games, they also support a decent Live Casino offering provided by Evolution Gaming. The Live Casino division is neatly sectioned, spit into roulette, blackjack, highroller, game shows, poker, and baccarat.

Games come from the usual crew of providers, the majority of which will be available to Canadian players. If you’re a frequent slot player then you’re likely to already have a hit list of your favorite games, which you’re sure to at Fortune Legends Casino as they host all the classics and latest hits from the likes of Microgaming, Quickspin, Red Tiger, Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Scientific Games, and many more.

It would be nice if the huge library of slots on offer could be filtered down by provider or theme, but players are only able to enter names or keywords into a search bar. If you’re not sure what you want, then you’ll just have to enter the realms of the endless scroll.

You’re unlikely to find much to confuse you in this department, with deposits and withdrawals working on the standardized system you get with most online casinos. Players can take their pick across a straight up bank transfer, Visa, MasterCard, Ecopayz, Sofort, Zimpler, Paysafecard, Trustly, Astropay or Safety Pay.

Timings are also highly acceptable, but they vary depending on the method you choose. Deposits are instant but withdrawals require a little more time. As a general rule, e-wallets and credit cards require about to 24 hours of pending time. Bank transfers take the longest, usually clearing in about 2 to 3 business days.

This is probably the only area where Fortune Legends Casino tangibly falls short. This is down to the fact that their customer support isn’t available 24 hours a day. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if they kept their casino strictly for their European clientele, but if you’re going to extend to Canada, then you need to put the infrastructure in place.

Things start off well, with support available in 5 languages including English. There’s even the option for Live Chat and Email. But when I tried out Live Chat I was pretty disappointed. Despite being told I was first in the queue, I was informed that their operators were all busy and I would have to wait a while. In all fairness I didn’t have to wait too long, but I was told that Live Chat only operates between the hours of 8.00 and 23.00 CET.

Phone support is unavailable, this becoming the trend with most new casinos. You can always go and look for the answers to your questions in the FAQ section, but I wouldn’t hang my hopes too high on that one since, bar a few registration queries, there’s little more information to be found.

It was easy to decide how I felt about Fortune Legends Casino. Despite the initial surprise at the chosen color palette, the site was extremely pleasing to the eye, thanks to top notch navigation and well sectioned content. They could definitely introduce a more filtered search function, but it wasn’t a deal breaker by any stretch of the imagination.

Customer support could easily hit top marks if they made Live Chat a 24 hour service and beefed up their FAQ section. The game selection was vast and comprehensive, and although the welcome bonus wasn’t the most generous available if you take it on face value alone, in practice it offered more than most. This was further compounded by the fantastic Loyalty Program, taking on a cashback approach to keep players coming back for more spins and wager free wins.
