Big on Bets Casino Review

Big on Bets is a Malta-based casino that is owned and operated by Continental Gaming Limited. It operates under a UK license to offer its casino games to players from the United Kingdom.

Big on Bets is powered by Genii Software and players can choose from a variety of video slots, i3D gaming slots, and Spin16 slots. There’s also a choice of popular casino games such as roulette, blackjack, and baccarat, as well as video poker.

The casino offers new players a welcome bonus, while regular deposit match bonuses can be claimed via the promotions page. These bonuses can be used to play the majority of slots and games, although play on these games counts differently towards playthrough requirements. Members are automatically enroled in the loyalty program, which offers players the chance to earn five higher VIP statuses and the rewards that go with them.

Members have the option to play games on the desktop or mobile platform, and customer support is available 24/7 via live chat, email, phone, and fax. The security of financial transactions and personal data is provided by a 2,048-bit RSA encryption.

More Bets for Your Bucks

New players from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are usually eligible for a new player casino welcome bonus at Big on Bets. This type of bonus can be used to play a variety of slots, as well as other casino games like roulette, three-card poker, and baccarat. However, bets placed on slots usually count more towards the playthrough requirements. Minimum and maximum deposits and withdrawal limitations tend to be part of the terms and conditions. Promotions may also be subject to change, so always check the Big on Bets promotions page and the specific terms and conditions related to any bonuses.

Big Daily Offers

The regular player offers at Big on Bets take a break on Sundays and Mondays, but players can claim reasonable-sized deposit match bonuses from Tuesday to Saturday. These can also be used to play a variety of slots and games, among which video poker and blackjack are also included.

Big on Rewards

All players at Big on Bets earn automatic entry into the Big on Rewards loyalty program. However, that one-star status carries no benefits. You can earn loyalty points by playing slots and games for real money, and you can elevate your status to two stars, three stars, four stars, five stars, and big star, with entry to each new loyalty level unlocking greater loyalty rewards. If you check the Gifts page, though, you'll see there are actually 45 different levels to unlock. At each of these you will be able to reap rewards including free spins on slots like Age of Spartans, Arcadia i3D, and Small Soldiers. You can also earn deposit match bonuses as well as gifts like earrings, iPads, and holidays. However, it proved impossible to find how easy, or how hard, it is to earn loyalty points. Plus, quite a lot of points are needed to earn the rewards and move up the levels.

Are You Wishing for a Genii?

Genii has a reputation for being one of the most innovative software companies in the iGaming industry, with its range of products including fun video slots, i3D slots, and interesting Spin16 slots.

You can play the spy-themed Sassy Spies by Genii. Agent Vanity Love is the slot's wild symbol while Agent Foxy Groovewell is the scatter symbol. Help the girls track down villainous targets like Ming Phat and Evil Newton, and you'll be rewarded with features such as the free spins feature with triple prize multipliers.

You might also wish to try a few spins of the Falling Fossils video slot. Its fossils include everything from a fossilized T-Rex to a cute little ammonite. There are also double-win wilds and an exciting Windfall feature in which falling fossils can help you pick up big wins.

Alternatively, you could try to claim the possible riches on offer in the Robin of Sherwood slot. This is a slot based on the legend of Robin Hood – a hero who, of course, robbed the rich to give to the poor (and, hopefully, to us). The Sheriff of Nottingham and Friar Tuck make appearances as high-paying symbols, while scattered Maid Marrion symbols can trigger a free spins feature. Find all 33 pieces of gold for a chance to enter the Raid the Castle feature, which gives you the chance to pinch all of King John's loot.

You can also play i3D gaming slots like Arcadia, which incorporates Genii's max ways pays to give players 243 ways to win. There are also wild robots that can trigger a free spins feature with double prizes.

Genii also offers its Spin16 series of slots, which include Horn of Plenty. What's really unique about this type of slot is that you can spin vertical reels up or down, and horizontal reels left and right. This 25-paylines slot includes fun things like double high wilds and a free spins feature in which all prizes are doubled.

24/7 Customer Support

Scroll down to the bottom of the homepage, and you'll find a footer bar that includes both support and live chat among its options. Live chat is available 24/7, and on both occasions where we used it to ask questions, we were replied to quickly. If you click on the support tab, you'll be taken to a page where you'll be able to access the casino's email support address, the fax number, and a toll-free phone number.

Popular Banking Methods

Skrill can be used to make deposits and withdrawals at Big on Bets, as can other popular e-wallets like ecoPayz and Neteller. When using these popular payment methods, deposits and withdrawals are processed instantly, providing all your paperwork is in order. Alternatively, you can make deposits and withdrawals using credit cards and debit cards, although withdrawals made using these methods are subject to a £15 fee. Moreover, it may take seven to ten days for the money to be returned to your account. It's possible to make weekly deposits of up to £100,000, although this seems ridiculously high considering one-star and two-stars players may only withdraw a maximum of £1,000 a week. All players will also have to verify their ID before making a withdrawal by way of one form of photo ID and a utility bill that has been issued within the last 90 days. Players may choose to reverse withdrawals if they wish.

Not That Big

Big on Bets is one of those casinos where some players will have plenty of fun, especially those who are big fans of Genii slots and games. However, its games section certainly isn't as big as some of the more popular online casinos out there that are available to the UK market. There are a few things that look out of line, too. The fact that members can deposit up to £100,000 in a week, when they can only withdraw £1,000 a week, goes against the current trend of casinos promoting responsible gaming. Fees on credit card and debit card withdrawals also seem to be on the steep side. One thing we do like is the idea of the loyalty program, but it looks like players will have to do some serious wagering to reach the highest levels and earn the biggest rewards. We'll never say never, but while the foundations look good, we think Big on Bets could be bigger and better.
