Spinaru Casino

Spinaru Casino runs with a rather unattractive name, but this shouldn’t be any reason to put you off. It’s owned by Highweb Services, which also owns other online casino sites like Wintika, Propawin, Freaky Aces, and Casdep Casino. Spinaru is relatively new to the scene, having been set up in 2019. The site is decent to look at, with a modern design and over 1,500 casino games on offer. On the downside, it only carries a gaming license from Curaçao. Let’s dig deeper and find out how much this should impact your decision on whether or not to sign up to Spinaru.

Spinaru Casino – The Highlights

• More than 1,500 game titles to choose from
• VIP and loyalty program
• Easily navigable site

At face value, Spinaru’s welcome bonus is an easy ‘yes’. The online casino is offering to match your very first deposit up to C$400, and they’ll also throw in 20 wager-free spins on Booming Bananas thrown in on top.

To make the offer even more attractive, on first deposits of C$100 or more, the free spins will carry the value of C$1 per spin. For all 1st deposits under C$100, regular free spins will be credited.

So where are the strings? After scanning all the small print, here’s what I learned:

• The free spins will expire after 7 days from the deposit date.
• The bonus cash and the attached real cash deposit is subject to wagering requirements of 35 x.
• The maximum bonus amount you can withdraw after meeting the wagering requirement is 10 x your deposit size.
• If you opt for a no deposit bonus, the wagering requirement jumps to a scarily high (and virtually unattainable) 99 x.

On the numbers front, Spinaru carries an impressive 1,500+ game titles. Slot games definitely dominate the scene, but there’s also a decent selection of Table Games, Poker, Arcade Games, and Live Casino.

Table Games include multiple varieties of Blackjack, Baccarat, Sic-Bo, and Roulette. Those who enjoy interacting with real dealers can link in to the live casino section that hosts Roulette, Poker, Blackjack, and Baccarat tables with stakes starting from just C$0.01 and shooting up to over C$10,000.

Spinaru casino pulls its content from several well known game providers:

The site runs a tiny bit slower than the average online casino, which means that some players might find that the pages take a little long to load. As for the design, it ticks all the right boxes in terms of navigation and graphics. At the top of the main page is a navigation bar that makes it immediately clear what’s on the menu. There’s nothing much to dislike in this section, and the site feel higher in quality than many of its competitors.

Despite all of this the site does tend to bury terms in terms in the fine print that would be much better off left in a more upfront position.

Spinaru’s VIP system is fairly simple to understand. Players earn VIP points for all real money bets placed. There are four levels to aspire to:

• Bronze (0 – 499 points)
• Silver (500 – 2,999 points)
• Gold (3,000 – 20,000 points)
• Diamond (20,000 points and deposits of C$3,000)

Players collect coins as they play on the site, which help them move from level to level. Depending on how far up the ranks you climb, players receive additional gifts. These include:

• Coins to cash conversions
• Deposit bonuses
• Loyalty bonuses
• Access to competitions
• VIP manager and support
• Faster payouts
• Invitations to VIP events
• VIP Cash Bonuses

So how easy is it to generate points? Players will get 1 point for:

• Every C$20 on Slots
• Every C$30 on Progressive slots
• Every C$60 on Live Casino
• Every C$20 on Arcade games
• Every C$60 on Card games
• Every C$50 on Table games
• Every C$150 on Video poker
• Every C$20 on Virtual Sports

The terms and conditions state that low risk roulette bets, red/black, odd/even, and low/high, do not count towards VIP points. All double options on Slots & Video Poker won’t earn VIP points either.

There are fewer withdrawal options than there are deposit, but this isn’t exactly unusual. Here’s how Canadian players can deposit and withdraw cash at Spinaru.

How to make a deposit at Spinaru Casino?

The minimum deposit possible is C$15, and this can be done through Visa, Mastercard, Interac, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, Neosurf, and Flexepin.

How to withdraw money at Spinaru Casino?

The minimum withdrawal is C$25, and it’s not possible to withdraw more than once per week. Withdrawals can be done via Visa, MasterCard, Interac, Skrill, Neteller, and ecoPayz. The site promises to approve withdrawals within 3 business days. After this, the time it takes for money to land in your account depends on the withdrawal method you use and which bank your account is held with. In general bank transfer withdrawals will appear in your account within 3-10 business days, while e-wallet withdrawals are virtually instant.

So far, so standard. But there’s a really big red flag to raise in this department because players at Spinaru are subject to both withdrawal and win limits. The casino has a C$10,000 weekly total win limit. If you win more, you simply won’t get the money exceeding the limit. There’s no doubt that this is exceptionally unfair, and immediately off putting to big budget players.

Spinaru offers a Live Chat option but many players have reported that it’s usually busy all day long. This is probably because it’s only available from Monday to Sunday between 6am and 10pm (GMT). Alternatively you can contact the team by Email, or have a browse through the rather nicely laid out FAQs that make it easy to see what’s what.

The real downer here is that the site is a little OTT on wagering requirements. This would be less of a concern if they were paired up with a UKGC or MGA license. Unfortunately the Curaçao license does put me on edge a little, because it’s unlikely players will have much recourse if they were to be treated unfairly. If you combine these with the downright unfair win limit that’s in place, I doubt many players will be rushing to consider this online casino as an option.
