OnlineCasino Review

Updated February 26 2007

Take a look at the OnlineCasino website and it may seem vaguely familiar and you may wonder where you've seen it before. This is because it was recently launched by the Cyber World Group (Read Golden Palace Group) and has a similar feel to it as the casinos in their fold. And with the backing and reputation of one of the largest online casino groups around, it is sure to be yet another popular casino very quickly.

The site itself is very well laid out and has an attractive blue, white and yellow color scheme that immediately puts you in a good mood, the image of the smiling woman surrounded by piles of cash, flashy lights is complimented by a huge Progressive Jackpot ticker that just gives it that "lucky casino" feeling and makes you want to know more.

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

OnlineCasino is currently offering a 300% sign-up bonus for new players whereby all you have to do is make initial deposit of $25 up to $100 using Neteller, myCitadel, or FirePay and you'll get 300% more money. That translates to $300 on the house, and a $400 bankroll for spending only $100. I looked around for the Terms & Conditions for this bonus as well as the other promotions but they were not anywhere in sight, I later contacted support and was told that a playthrough of the deposit and bonus of 20x was required and that other terms and conditions do apply, so if you do want to accept this or any other offer at the casino please make sure that you are aware of the T&C's.

And if you want to deposit via Credit Card, OnlineCasino hasn't forgotten about you and is currently offering a $200 New Player bonus where if you use your credit card instead of our alternate payment methods to make your initial deposit, there's a 200% bonus available for you. Deposit $25 to $100 and get 200% more money.

In addition to the Welcome Bonus, OnlineCasino also offers a variety of additional promotions including a "Tell a friend" offer where you can make up to $20 per name you give when your friend deposits $25-$100 at the casino and you will earn up to 20% on that purchase. The more your friend's purchase, the more money you receive.

You will also be eligible to receive up to 15% when depositing money via Wire Transfer.

There are also Weekly Online Surprises where several times a week, OnlineCasino will select players to get a Surprise Bonus. It could happen at any time but you have to be playing to be eligible, so the more often you play, the better your chances of winning.

And then there is the Loyalty Program...

Loyalty

OnlineCasino offers player complimentary points every time they play. The more you play and wager, the more Comp Points you earn and these can be exchanged for casino cash at any time.

On top of the comp points up for grabs, OnlineCasino also offers players access to the Crown Jewels VIP program which has run across the casinos in this group since 1997. This program offers you some of the biggest, best and most frequent bonus offers in the business.

Depending on your wagering frequency and style of play, you are assigned a Player Level represented by the precious gems Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Amethyst and Zircon. You be rewarded with favorable Comp Point Ratios, Weekly free bonuses, Cashback and Deposit bonuses and these get better as you proceed up the levels while you play.

Download and registration

Like most other casinos, OnlineCasino offers both a Download and No Download (Flash) version of the casino, both of which are of an excellent quality although if you can rather play on the download version as it has a bigger games selection and a few more bells and whistles than the Flash version.

The download process shouldn't take more than a few minutes, and once it is done you'll be able to install it by following a few of the prompts. Next you will have the choice of playing for fun or registering an account. To register an account, simply fill in the online form with your personal information, provide a username and password and you're set!

Banking

As with any really good casino OnlineCasino has a number of deposit options available to its players including Citadel, Credit Card, Neteller, FirePay, Money Transfer, Bank Wire, eWalletXpress, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, and Immediate Deposit Card.

I always use Neteller where possible for gambling transactions but should you have another method of choice you can safely use it here without a second thought because all banking data and transactions are highly safe and secure operating on an encryption program that can only be described as state of the art.

I made an initial deposit of $100 via Neteller and was credited with a $300 bonus, as it was my first time playing at this casino and my bankroll sat at a whopping $400. Woohoo...I was off to play!

Games offering

OnlineCasino has a games offering of over 80 games including Table and Card Games some of which are Live Dealer Games (which are a great novelty and highly entertaining...a definite must), Slots, Video Poker and the all-famous Arcade Games, which are unique to Playtech Casinos.

I love the Arcade Games and because my bankroll was so high I decided to start off on these playing my all time favorite Derby Day which is a horse racing game where you bet on one or more as they race around a track, I just LOVE it! After 5 races, only one of which any of my horses actually came in, I moved on to the football themed Penalty Shootout and then onto Jackpot Darts which is a progressive and a game that I like to think involves skill. The graphics and concepts behind all of these games are truly superb and they really successfully bring out the child in you...I could happily spend my entire bankroll on these and not be unhappy if I didn't win a thing because they are just so much fun.

But in the interests of this review I moved on to the Table Games of which there is quite a selection to choose from with everything from Blackjack, Poker, Roulette and Craps to Pontoon and Baccarat. I glossed over the normal versions of these games and decided to play Live Dealer Blackjack. This is a lot of fun and obviously very realistic but the pace is a little slow, as you have to wait for the feed. I had a good time and few good hands but decided to go back to the normal version after a while and this had a much better pace. I also played Roulette Pro but wasn't much of a pro this time around and so I moved on tot he Video Poker Games.

Once again there are not a bad selection of these and the offering includes all the well-known popular games. I played the 25 line Aces and Faces game which keeps you really busy but is not as straining as some of the other 100 hand versions at other casinos. I then played 2 Ways Royal and finished off with 10-Line Jacks or Better.

Then it was on to the Slots and once again the offering is quite a good mix of single and multi-line Video and Regular Slots. While I do like a few of the regular slots on offer at this casino such as Alchemists Lab, Funky Monkey and Safecracker (progressive) I'm much more interested in the Video Slots like Captain's Treasure, Goblins Cave, Chinese Kitchen and the progressives like Cinerama and my current favorite Queen of the Pyramids. I had a spin on all of these but as usual found myself glued to the Egyptian themed Queen of the Pyramids whose graphics and features are just amazing. I even won about $100 but successfully played it back in my quest for the jackpot.

After a fun-filled Saturday afternoon I decided to call it a day but couldn't cashin my balance as I still hadn't met the wagering requirements, but no matter, gives me an excuse to return...and return I will!

Customer Service

Having contacted customer support earlier in my sign-up process to query the bonus terms and conditions I can tell you that this is really good at OnlineCasino.

They offer 24-hour live customer service, toll free numbers and email support which are well managed and quite responsive. I really can't complain as the level of service is on par with most good casinos.

The Verdict

When you hear that OnlineCasino is part of the same group as Golden Palace you instantly have high expectations and not for one minute will you be disappointed at this casino.

With excellent bonus and promotional offerings, outstanding games with great graphics, safe, secure banking and good, solid customer support you simply can't go wrong and I'm sure that if you play here once you'll keep coming back for more.
