Gambola Casino

Having entered the scene in 2019, Gambola Casino is hoping that a super sleek website with a highly friendly interface will reel in a serious chunk of the international gaming market. Despite its undeniably novel status, the online casino is operated by Glitnor Services Limited, a company which is regulated and licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority.

Gambola hosts a very well rounded entertainment selection that covers everything from slots to sports. But seasoned online gamers know that things tend to look better on paper than in practice. This review dives into the details, checking out promos and rewards, together with game variety and payment processes.

Gambola Casino – The Highlights

• Extremely polished casino with sleek navigation
• Cashback welcome offer
• Ongoing promotions and bonuses
• Accepts CAD and Interac/MuchBetter payments

Gambola Casino welcomes new players with a 100% cashback bonus up to CA$40. If you’re enjoying the site, but don’t manage to double your balance within the first 24 hours, 24 hours later you can claim up to $40 cashback.

This is credited as pure cash, which means that you can either keep playing or choose to make a withdrawal.

With over 1,400 games onboard, a number that’s always on the rise, Gambola Casino has a lot to offer players in search of a few hours of entertainment. They host a series of games from providers like Evolution Gaming, Play’n GO, Microgaming, Quickspin, Yggdrasil, Scientific Games, Oryx , Gamomat and Altenar. Nolimit City, ELK Studios, Thunderkick, Red Tiger, Leander and many more. Of course, these providers will change up depending on the type of game you’re looking for.

If slots and jackpots are your cup of tea then you’ll find plenty of them here. While these haven’t been organized in any particular way, and quick scroll through the list showed all the latest titles and most popular releases. The site even features the hugely popular jackpot slot, Mega Moolah. And if you prefer to give more obscure games a go, you’ll also find plenty of these from smaller providers knocking about.

Table Games also make an appearance, with over 100 titles to choose from. These include every style of Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat you can think of. There are also a few more modern games thrown in like Barbut, Dream Catcher, Patience, and Super Wheel. In short, if games on the felt are your thing, you’re sure to find just what you need.

The majority of the Live Casino games at Gambola come from Evolution Gaming. This is great news for Canadian players who’ll have access to a generous range of games across a whopping 94 different games. The range features multiple styles of Poker, Roulette, Baccarat, and Blackjack. There are also gameshow inspired games like Monopoly Live, Deal or No Deal and Dream Catcher on offer.

Gambola also features a very robust Sportsbook. It allows players to bet pre-game and also live in most cases. It covers the entire spectrum of competitive sports including:

• Football
• Tennis
• Basketball
• Ice Hockey
• Volleyball
• American Football
• Aussie Rules
• Badminton
• Bandy
• Baseball
• Beach Volley
• Biathlon
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Cross-Country
• Darts
• E-Sports
• Floorball
• Futsal
• Golf
• Handball
• MMA
• Motorsport
• Motorbikes
• Rugby
• Rugby League
• Sailing
• Ski Jumping
• Snooker
• Table Tennis
• Waterpolo

A quick scout about the site initially seemed to indicate that there was no loyalty program available, but then I stumbled on Gambola Plus. This version of a VIP program is based on a cashback system that rewards players on every single bet or spin they place at Gambola – whether it’s a winning or losing spin. For every bet you place, Gambola will add cash to your account. The accumulated funds can be claimed back whenever you want, and as often you want. This cash comes without wagering requirements, which means its yours for the keeping as soon as you click on the ‘collect’ button. Most games at Gambola will contribute toward your cashback, but keep an eye out for the ones that don’t carry a Gambola Plus icon, as these won’t reap any rewards.

Gambola also gives players further reasons to stick around. These fall under a table labeled ‘Campaigns’. They’re a range of lotteries, tournaments and competitions offering everything from cash prizes to free spins. There’s always somethings going on, with most of the campaigns occuring daily, weekly or seasonal.

I liked the Gambola site a lot, and in an industry packed with sketchy looking sites, this is no small thing. The language used is very friendly and approachable, taking on a chatty style that I enjoyed engaging with. The site itself works amazingly well, and you can tell that there’s been a decent amount of money placed behind its development. Even the sign up process is intuitive and scattered with helpful guidance notes.

All games, except live dealer games, can be tested out for free in demo mode. The site only lets itself down in one aspect — the search system. While players have access to a search bar, this is the only way to browse through the site’s massive game catalogue, and there’s no way to search by provider or style. For example, filtering down the huge range of slots on offer is only possible if you can type in an exact title, otherwise you’re in for a serious amount of scrolling.

Payment options may not be as wide ranging as you get with other online casinos, but Canadian players won’t notice the difference because all the most important methods feature at Gambola.

Deposits:

Withdrawals:

Withdrawal processing time at Gambola is quicker than average, with players reporting that these go through within 12 to 24 hours. And considering that most of the payment methods mentioned above offer instant transactions, players shouldn’t have to wait for too long their cash to land back in their pockets.

If you’re looking for support from the team behind the scenes then you’ll have the choice of reaching out through Live Chat or Email. Keep in mind that the chat option isn’t available 24 hours a day, and players can only access instant assistance between the hours of 8 am and midnight on weekdays, or midday to 9pm on weekends. And that’s CET time, so not the most convenient of time zones for Canadian players.

The FAQ section is well structured but not particularly helpful. For example, there’s no information of deposits and withdrawals or more niche topics. Hopefully these will get beefed up over time.

With Gambola Casino, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Let’s get to the bad stuff first. Customer service is a little bit lackluster, with help only available within fairly inconvenient timeframes for Canadian players. Players who really enjoy access to bonus cash and free spins might be disappointed that none of these are on offer, but I think the combination of money back guaranteed and cashback offers are a far more attractive prospect.

The loyalty program at Gambola runs entirely on wager-free cashback, and is genuinely one of the most rewarding programs I’ve seen recently. The game selection is big and wide ranging, with a sportsbook thrown in to satisfy all players. Trust me guys, Gambola is definitely worth a gamble.
