Prestige Casino Review

Updated March 25 2008

Visit Prestige Casino and right from the start you'll experience a sophisticated and elegant casino that has a unique air of style and class about it that really makes it feel like a place where you want to play. It is devoid of the kitsch, flashing icons and graphics that others offer and instead have a tasteful fusion of static graphics and gold text set on blue and black background. The mere layout of the casino homepage, coupled with an array of international flags and all the information you could possibly want right at your fingertips indicates the professionalism of Prestige Casino.

It is no surprise then that Playtech powered Prestige casino is operated by Casino Pays (or CPays) which is one of the biggest online gaming groups in the industry. They have been around for a number of years and have built up a good reputation in the industry, having worked with them for a number of years now; we have experienced firsthand the professionalism of this group time and again.

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

Prestige Casino really does cater to everybody and this is evident in their Welcome bonuses and promotional offerings...for the higher rollers when you make your first single deposit of €/£/$ 5,000 or more, your account will be instantly credited with a welcome bonus of €/£/$800. For those a little less flush, deposit a single first deposit amount of €/£/$ 20 or more and you will receive a welcome bonus of 35% up to €/£/$350. What's more is that you will also receive 60% free bonus up to €/£/$500 when you make a second single deposit of €/£/$20 or more and your account will be credited instantly. Of course, terms and conditions do apply and Prestige Casino has wagering requirements that need to be met on all bonuses, so please read these carefully before accepting anything.

As with some other casinos, Prestige Casino also runs a "Refer a Friend" program whereby you can earn up to €/£/$50 for every friend you refer to the program...not a bad little business if you ask me!

Loyalty

When it comes to loyalty, Prestige Casino offers a similar type of program to most other casinos whereby you earn comp points every time you play at the casino, and these can then be redeemed for Casino Cash. You will earn one comp point for every €/£/$/CAD10 bet you make, so the more you play, the more you earn!

Download and Registration

Prestige Casino offers both Download and Flash versions of the casino. As always, the download is recommended as it has all the bells and whistles and is not browser based, so will not experience any lapses in game play as the Flash version might do if your connection is a little slow.

The initial download is 311KB and won't take very long at all; the software is available in English, French, German and Spanish. Once it is complete you will just follow the prompts to install the software and will then agree to general terms and conditions of play at the casino. You can then either Play for fun and test out the games or you can open a Real account, and then head off to the bank to make a deposit...

Banking

When it comes to deposit options, Prestige Casino offers a vast array of banking options including Credit Card, Neteller, Instacash, ePassporte, Citadel, Firepay, Instadebit, Click2Pay, UseMyBank, eWallet Xpress, OnDemand Funds, Moneybookers, Eco Card, Paysafe Card, Central Coin, Solo, Ukash, Bank Draft, Wire Transfer, and Instant Wire Transfer.

What's more, when depositing with, Neteller, Insta Cash, Moneybookers, FirePay, Citadel, OnDemandFunds, Central Coin, 900Pay, EcoCard, PaysafeCard, UseMyBank, Maestro/Switch Card, or Instadebit, you will receive 10% extra as a bonus and 15% Extra Bonus when depositing with Wire Transfer or Bank Draft.

Deposits can be made in US or Canadian Dollars, Euro or British Pounds and all transactions are safe and secure. The only thing that is a little annoying initially is that you have to wait for a security code to arrive by regular mail before you can deposit more than $500 at the casino (so the $800 sign up bonus is really a delayed one), or request a withdrawal. You can however now withdraw your winnings directly to your Credit/Debit card and withdrawals to Credit/Debit cards are not limited to your original deposit and are free which is quite refreshing!

I deposited $100 via Neteller and received an additional $10 which is always a nice way to get started!

Games Offering

Prestige casino offers you all the online casino games that you would expect including live dealers and multiplayer games. Over and above that, they also have online poker and online bingo on offer, so you will not need to move around to various establishments if you are looking for a bit of variation. However, Playtech powered casinos really seem to specialise in table games and so enthusiasts will definitely enjoy this casino because of the lifelike quality and smoothness of the gameplay on these.

With this in mind I headed off to the Multi-player blackjack table where you can play up to three hands at once which is excellent and lots of fun. The downside of this game is that 6 decks are used which makes it quite difficult to keep track of the cards. Additionally the cards are shuffled after every round. The house edge with the rules listed below is 0.46% which is not good at all. Nevertheless I was kept quite busy and after a few bad hands, decided to move on to their single hand blackjack which is played with only one deck and was decidedly better, especially because I ended up winning $300 with a few good hands.

Usually I would play Roulette next (which is also really a lot of fun at this casino) but I decided to do something a little different this time around and played Craps instead...You can chose a table with a $1-$100, $5-$500, or $25-$1000 table limit. I chose the lower end table and started off with a winning 7 which was awesome! I really felt like I was in Vegas for a minute there! My subsequent throws were not quite as successful though, but still it was great fun trying and again the games graphics were excellent. After playing here for about half an hour, I decided to move on but can assure you that Prestige Casino has one of the best craps offerings I've seen and craps fans will thoroughly enjoy playing here.

Next I played Caribbean Poker...also not my usual but they say a change is as good as a holiday! In this game, you place an ante prior to the start and after receiving five cards decide whether or not to compete against the dealer. You simply compare cards and the better hand wins...easy and ALOT of fun!

When it comes to slots, Prestige Casino offers the relatively new multi-line slots which are a vast improvement on their previous slots offerings. Still their slots offering is comparatively smaller than casinos powered by alternative software and the jackpots don't really get that big here. I played a number of their classic reel and multi-line slots and had quite a lot of fun doing so, but I still prefer the table games at this casino.

After a great evening and a thoroughly enjoyable experience (as usual) I decided to call it a night and although I didn't win anything I can definitely say that I will be back!

Customer support

When it comes to Customer Support, Prestige Casino offers live chat, toll free and international phone numbers as well as e-mail support that is specific to any of your needs. You will always be assisted by a trained and friendly staff support agent who make dealing with this casino an absolute pleasure.

The Verdict

Prestige Casino really knows the importance of happy customers and they go out of their way to make sure that every single customer and partner is more than just happy. There is seriously very little that one would be able to find wrong with this group and if you do, you would really have to want to find something. Try it out and we're sure you'll enjoy it as much as we do!
