GW Casino Review

The company behind GW Casino is highly ambitious and seeks to make this online casino one of the best on the Internet. The ways they plan to make this happen is by providing top-quality service in all aspects. Below you will find a detailed review of this online casino, covering all important factors, such as games, software, promotions and more.

Promotions and Bonuses

At GW Casino, you will have the opportunity to claim a generous Welcome Bonus when you first open an account. This promotion will match your initial deposits, making it possible for you to claim up to AU$2,000 in bonus funds. You first deposit between AU$20 – AU$49.99 will be matched 100%; while one between AU$50 – AU$99.99 will be matched 125% and you will also receive 100 free spins on Astro Magic; if your first deposit is over AU$100, the casino will match it 150% up to AU$1,000 and award you 200 free spins on Cloud Tales. Your second deposit at GW Casino will be matched 50% up to AU$500, with the same terms being applied to the third, as well.

The Welcome Bonus comes with a wagering requirement of 20 times the combined amount of the bonus and the deposit. This means that you will have to place (deposit + bonus)x20 worth of bets before you can cash in the bonus money. To qualify for the bonus you will have to deposit a minimum of AU$20 each time. Something to keep in mind is that not all wagers contribute the same to the wagering requirement. Bets placed on slot games count 100% towards the requirement, while bets on table games will only contribute 10%. There are specific games that will not contribute at all.

Mobile players will rejoice to know that there is a promotion specifically tailored to them. Making a deposit of AU$20 or more from any mobile device will net you a 35% bonus up to AU$250. This promotion is active every Monday and is repeatable. The wagering requirement for this bonus is 20 times the combined amount of the bonus and the deposit.

Wednesday Deluxe is a promotion which will reward you for all deposits made in the last week. If you have loaded your casino balance with $100 or more in the previous week you will be eligible to receive 100 free spins available on Kawaii Kitty Boomanji and Fruit Zen. Additionally, if you deposit $50 or more you will be able to receive 100 more free spins on the same games. The winnings from the free spins are subject to a wagering requirement of 20 times.

Software

GW Casino has partnered with several top-tier software providers that are highly respected in the online gambling industry. Companies such as Betsoft and IGT have had a long history of developing online casino games and their products are currently featured at a great number of gambling websites. Such products include all manner of casino titles including the most popular game types such as slots, roulette, blackjack, video poker, all of which are available at GW Casino.

Whereas other similar gambling websites require you to download some dedicated client, GW Casino allows you utilize an intuitive instant play interface which can load the games directly in the window of your browser. Therefore, you can immediately start playing your favorite titles as soon as you top up your casino balance. Moreover, the software of the casino is built to support mobile devices, thereby enabling you to use your smartphone or tablet to place bets, regardless of your current location.

Games

GW Casino is host to a fairly large gaming library where users can play many different titles. The majority of the selection is made up of slot games, with each individual titles featuring its own theme, aesthetic and gameplay. Some of the most popular games from the slot section include titles such as Wolf Treasure, Fruit Zen, Fire and Steel, The Angler, Boomanji and others.

As far as table games are concerned, the casino seems to be lacking in diversity, though there are still a good number of titles to choose. While the sheer quantity is nothing to write home about, the quality of what is available is certainly up to par with the industry standards. Therefore, it is safe to say that any table games fan will certainly be satisfied here.

Unfortunately, GW Casino does not seems to have a large selection of video poker games which is less than ideal. Video poker is one of the most popular genres on the Internet currently and this lack of games will not do it any favors. Fans of video poker will not be pleased with what is available.

Jackpot Games

GW Casino’s assortment of jackpot games features a healthy range of about 25 slots that are mostly supplied by acclaimed software provider iSoftBet. What we found particularly useful was that the casino operator has taken the time to add information about each of the jackpot slots.

When you click on the small info icon on a game’s thumbnail, it shows you the devices the slot is compatible with and whether or not it features any free games. More importantly, you get to see the games’ average player return percentage, which generally fluctuates between 94% and 97%. The games with the progressive jackpots offer a lower average return, which is usually the norm and compensates for the bigger pots they drop.

The slots with the highest progressive prizes at GW Casino are iSoftBet’s Ultimate Super Reels, Mona Lisa Jewels, Neon Reels, Absolute Super Reels, Super Lucky Reels, and Super Multitimes Reels. The Ultimate Super Reels, Super Lucky Reels, and Absolute Super Reels slots are attached to the same pool so the prizes you can win on those coincide. That being said, do not expect to bag millions from one of the GW Casino’s progressives. The games are linked in a local progressive network which is to say the pots accumulate only from bets made at GW Casino. Despite this, they deserve to be given a few spins since the five-figure prizes certainly are not something to sneeze at.

Other popular iSoftBet games listed in GW Casino’s Jackpot category include Bewitched, Lucky Leprechaun, Best Witch, Gold Hold, and Skulls of Legends. Several of the titles are courtesy of Denmark-based software supplier Magnet Gaming and more specifically the slots Baking Day, Diamond Express, Candy Kingdom, and The Vikings – Wheels of Valhalla. Most of the jackpot slots at GW Casino are cross-compatible so you can play them on both desktop computers and mobile devices.

Licensing and Jurisdictions

GW Casino is owned by a company called Digi Markets N.V. which was granted a license by the Curacao eGaming Authority. Players who are interested to check can see the casino’s license number which is posted on the Terms and Conditions page.

The licensing the casino has received has some restrictions as to who can play there. It is these restrictions that prohibit players from Belgium, Curacao, Aruba, Bonaire, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Israel, Romania, the Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Statia, Singapore, St Martin, the USA and the UK to register real-money GW Casino accounts.

Site Layout and Design

GW Casino runs a functional enough website to ensure its players are granted easy access to everything concerning their accounts management, play sessions, and overall stay at the casino. The landing page features a massive banner which prompts those who enter the website to claim a welcome bonus, with a link to the offer’s terms.

Below, you will find the gaming library structured into different groups of games. You get to browse through the new titles and check the games that rank the highest in popularity among GW players. The operator has also added a filter that makes it convenient for you to sort the games according to various features, like mobile-friendliness, payline number, and popularity. You can also change the gaming library’s view, having a choice between two options – a list and the standard grid with the thumbnails. Browsing through the catalog in alphabetical order is also a possibility.

Banking

GW Casino’s range of payment options is not particularly broad with about six banking methods but in the operator’s defense, its cashier still features solutions that are available for use worldwide. Such is the case with Mastercard and Visa. The casino may be geared towards the Aussie market but it still allows customers from other countries to select from two currencies other than AUD. When registering, you can also choose to set up your account in EUR and USD.

Deposit Options

Players at GW Casino are facing a somewhat narrow range of banking solutions, having a choice from four deposit options only. On the positive side of things, all four deposit solutions can be used on mobile devices, allowing customers to boost their balance should they run out of money when away from their desktop computers.

Funding your GW Casino account is possible via credit or debit cards that carry the logos of Mastercard and Visa. Deposits conducted with both cards are completed immediately upon confirming the transaction and do not involve any fees on behalf of the operator.

Another option for depositors at GW Casino is using Neosurf, which is a prepaid voucher you can obtain from numerous landbased points of sale. Similarly to the card payments, transactions with Neosurf will transfer the funds to your GW Casino balance instantaneously and at no additional cost.

Customers of the casino also have the alternative to use an e-wallet called UPayCard which allows for more anonymous transactions plus it will transfer the money to your account right away. The minimum you can deposit is $20 or the equivalent in other supported currencies.

Just make sure you play every once in a while since the casino will charge you a AU$5 inactivity fee if your account remains dormant for more than three months after your last visit. We recommend you send the required documents for verification to the GW team as soon as you process your deposit. This will save you some time when you send your first withdrawal request.

Withdrawal Options

Withdrawals from your GW Casino account are made possible via an even narrower range of banking options, especially for residents of some countries who can cash out via standard bank transfers only, which, by general rule, are among the slowest ways to receive your wins.

One way to obtain your GW bounty would be to resort to the e-wallet UPayCard. In fact, we suggest you go for this option since it is the most convenient one, not to mention the quickest one since you receive the funds almost instantly once they are cleared from your cash balance.

The more conventional way would be to use your Visa as Mastercard is supported for withdrawals only. Withdrawals processed via the popular card brand can take up to 3 working days. Your last alternative would be to use the regular bank transfer, in which case the money will be with you within 5 working days. Withdrawals are processed at no cost, at least on behalf of the gambling operator. The minimum amount you can cash out is $50 whereas the ceiling sits at AU$5,000 per transaction.

Customer Support

Customer support at GW Casino can be reached via the standard live chat facility, which, as the website states, is serviced by the support personnel 24/7. It appears, however, that the support agents have their hands quite full with customers since one tends to connect with a representative of the team within several minutes or so. They compensate for making you wait with a friendly attitude, though.
