Cool Cat Casino
Cool Cat Casino Review
Cool Cat Casino is licensed in Costa Rica and it uses Real Time Gaming Software. In the past, it seems to have had a rocky history, but have worked hard to redeem their reputation. Having a game provider that is one of the leaders in the industry certainly helps with this, as does the fact that they are open to US players. Allowing US players to play at Cool Cat Casino is a unique competitive advantage. Some of the real perks of playing at Cool Cat Casino include the fact that US payment methods (credit cards are accepted), and download or instant play versions of many games are available.
Casino Bonuses and Promotions
Any information on promotional offers is current at the time of writing and may be out of date. More current bonus information can be found in the bonus area on this page.
There is no doubt that Cool Cat Casino has an abundance of bonuses. Even though they can change, and have different requirements, the online casino promises daily, weekly, and monthly promotions. This is in addition to the welcome offers, and the exclusive VIP program.Cool Cat Casino offers a great advantage to players by offering generous bonuses like daily bonuses distributed randomly with special codes. Other promotions run on a strict schedule with VIP bonuses distributed based on loyalty. In addition to deposit matching offers, Cool Cat Casino offers free spins and other such promotions that encourage people to try out games that they might not normally.
With such a large number of promotions offered, it’s great for players with a large bankroll. But for those on a budget, when it comes to the deposit matching offers, it is important not to be enticed to exceed spending allowances.
Casino Game Options
Real Time Gaming software is the provider behind the Cool Cat Casino. Not only does this help secure the reputation of the casino, it really does mean that everyone will find high-quality games and many familiar titles. Those familiar with RTG will recognize the alluring graphics and the smoothness of play. Of course, the gaming experience does vary slightly depending on the software selected. At this casino, there is a flash version, which can be played in the internet browser, or the downloadable version. Both have a selection of slot games, video poker and more. Plus the downloadable version has some that aren’t available by the instant play.
In order to get involved with the games at Real Time Gaming, it is necessary to create an account and fund it.
Banking
There is no such thing as a good casino that doesn’t have secure banking options. We all want to know that our money and our financial data are going to be safe. Cool Cat Casino is focused on more than just a cool gaming experience because they take different electronic payment method that are safe and secure, as well as credit cards. Another great plus is that this is a US casino, and national credit cards.
Customer Service
24/7 live chat, or toll-free international calling options and email support make for sufficient communication tools when players have questions or issues with the casino.
Verdict
The Cool Cat Casino has all the features of a pretty hip place to play. Provided everyone can forgive the fact that they do have a bit of a shaky history, there isn’t much to complain about when it comes to Cool Cat Casino.
Cool Cat Casino Player Comments
I am like everyone else i have made Alot of deposits over a three year period. i have made a withdrawel on 4/23/09 for a small amount of 640 today is 5/21/09 and i am getting the runaround about it will be a few more days. i am so disapointed. coolcat makes dammmm good money but they don't payout like they say and they don't pay on time.I hope alot of people read this Page before going into play at coolcat casino. you all should just close your doors. I can't believe you have been in busniess this long
I suggest that they fine tune their rules! Their casino is misrepresenting not only me, but anyone who plays and/or cashes out.
Being cautious about bonus money as I am, I verified the Rule with their on line host that their play through amount was $1250.00. I asked if I played through the 1250.00, the balance beyond that amount is mine to choose to either play or cash out. The reply was “that's correct”. I made the $1250.00 plus over $1000.00 but I cashed out (or attempted to) $850.00 in cash.
I sent my paperwork out on March 13, 2009 as requested. I received a message 2 days days later stating my identification was not clear and I thereby resent the information and the following day they said they received the information and a file had been opened.
On several occasions I checked the status of my withdraw on line and I always was rerouted to the Internet stating my questions have been submitted and someone will get in touch with me within 24 hours. That was a joke. It took about 5 days for just 1 response out of 15 submissions.
I then get a message stating that there was a problem with the processing to the United States and it should be cleared up very soon. I never heard of that kind of problem unless the casino was under some type of investigation. OK, so I was being nice and gave them a few days to respond. I get no responses and once again there is never anyone on line when I want to speak to someone and their 24 hours is far from 24 hours, basically that means don't contact us because we will not reply. They violated their own Rule (the famous 24 hour Rule)!! Their rules don't apply to anyone unless it is to benefit their casino.
I then get a message on March 27, 2009 that my transfer will be early the next week. By Wednesday of the following week I started checking to see what was up. I FINALLY get a reply on April 2, 2009 stating that they will wire the money sometime the following week and it mentioned that according to my bonus of $50.00, I was only entitled to $50.00. That was not the original rule as stated earlier in this letter.
I then went to the on line live rep and finally spoke to someone for the first time in almost 3 weeks. I mentioned briefly what was going on and they told me to hold on and never came back to the chat session. I logged in again and they told me to hang on again. She finally came back and said I was in violation (please give me a break) of the terms of the bonus because I played a game that was not allowed which was poker. If someone is not allowed to play certain games with the bonus then why isn't it blocked when customers log in to that game? I know for a fact other casinos have a pop up to advise them that the customer is not entitled to play that game when the customer attempt to log in to a game that is not allowed. She said since this was a violation, (which I know their casino looked through my play history with a fine tooth comb to find a violation so they did not have to pay) she was going to reset the amount back to $50.00 and strike my wire transfer of $850.00 off the books. I had $850.00 waiting to be transferred! They stole this money from me.
I advised this women not to do that until I spoke to the withdraws person the next day, but she ignored my request and erased it. She said the withdraws department approved it. How amazing. I was told that the withdraws department is only there during the day between 8 and 5 EST. This was about 9 PM PST (midnight EST).
Their casino never intended on paying out the money. When I know my play through was finished and the amount I decided to cash out was $850.00.
I live in Las Vegas and we run a genuine & honest ship here. No beating around the bush here. In this town, Cool Cats procedures and practices would not last 24 hours without one of the big bosses stepping in and straightening them out. Here the customer is number ONE. It's either you are in or you best ship out and fast!
I don't need on line gambling, I can go anywhere here and gamble. But my curiosity for the on line casinos had me investigating and playing them. The customer service here to our gamblers is of great importance. Too bad they couldn't get advise from a few casinos owners that didn't survive here.
I was told not to play their casino by my friends and now I know I should have listen to them.
I am not the loser, Cool Cats Casino will so be the big loser here. It will catch up to them. I would love to be a fly on the wall in their office. Or better yet strong arm them to get into their casino books!
Good Luck in getting your money and don't stop fighting for what's yours! When you are ready for some real gambling and fun, come to Vegas, you are always welcomed here…
LOL at this casino (cool cat). I deposited and lost a few times (never googled this scam site) and then was called by "lucas" who recruited me into further deposits. After being down approx $4400, I finally hit a jackpot and currently have a pending withdrawal of 5k. It just so happened about 8 weeks or so before this, I had a pending cashout that just sat there. After much frustration, I wound up reversing and playing it vowing never to come back. So stupid me, after phone calls from lucas comes back. This withdrawl is only pending for about 7 business days now and I know Im not getting it (AFTER googling this site after winning). But Ill get the last laugh–I just reversed all $4400 in charges—if and when these idiots ever process this payout, Ill use their check for toilet paper.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE.
I have been playing at cool cat for about six months and have deposited at least 20K a month. When I finally decided to withdraw some winnings (10K) I received in about 6 weeks ($7500). On December 7th, I won 45K but was told that since it was with insurance loss bonus the most I could collect would be 15K. Furthermore the rules state that VIP Double Diamond players are entitled to 10K per week withdrawls. After almost one month I was approved for only 5K, which I still have not received. I have not been given an explanation as to why the remaining 10K has not been sent._
I would not recommend at all due to the way the payout. Should I receive my winnings I will gladly advise.
I cashed out "winnings" from a free chip nine months ago. I met the playthrough requirements and in my account history, it says "withdrawal approved!" I still haven't seen or heard anything from Cool Cat and I don't think I ever will. I'm glad I didn't deposit there.
BOTTOM LINE: STAY AWAY UNTIL THEY GET WITHDRAWALS IN THEIR BUSINESS PLAN
RTG slot casinos in general seem to have tremendous problems with payouts. This applies at least the ones that have the highest bonuses (Prism, Cool Cat, Party City), others such as Rushmore and Club World, I'm not sure about, never had a payout opportunity with them.
As I've read with other posters and I agree, they have no problems at all with taking money. I have gotten a payout from Cool Cat, but it has taken 30-45 days, and their excuse as always 'having trouble with payment processor'. I thought I would give them one more try, and that was a mistake. I like another recent player, have an outstanding withdrawal that is almost 2 months old. I'm now getting ignored by the withdrawal department, or told every time that I'm "in the queue", or it'll be a few more days.
This is a pitiful excuse for a casino if they continue to treat customers this way. Until you see some happy withdrawal customers, I HIGHLY SUGGEST STAYING AWAY.
well i cashed out on october 15th and when I called 2 weeks ago they said I would have my money by Friday, It is now monday and when I called they said there was a problem with there payment processor and I would have to wait another week or two. They are ridiculous, stay away
BEWARE, BEWARE, Appears to be a SCAM, I was contacted by "JANELL" in Promotions who offered me an "No Strings Attached" bonus. The only catch was that the Bonus was not Cashable, just the Money deposited and won over the amount of bonus. I actually won about $300 over the bonus amount, requested an withdrawal, waited and they would not process my withdrawal request or answer my messages regarding request. In fact the only way to get someone to talk to you is to inquire about an Deposit…LOL Feel free to contact me if you want to hear the full story on these SCAM artists!
WHAT A JOKE!!! IF YOU WIN YOU WILL NOT GET PAID!!! THEY WILL LAUGH IN YOUR FACE!!!!!!
PLEASE HELP ME!! On Oct 1, 2008 I won a random jackpot using $900 and NO bonuses or FREE chips. They made me fax my paperwork to them 10 times to 3 different fax numbers. I received my first payment of $1,150 LAST WEEK, and another payment of $1,150 on Friday Nov.28th. They mentioned NOTHING about a $100 "processing fee" on each trans- action. To even receive these 2 amounts I had to file disputes with RTG (which is worthless) complain to withdrawals and Customer Support many, many,many times and heard EVERY excuse on why they couldn't pay me. They seem to derive great pleasure in telling you that it's all in their Terms and Conditions. Some of it is, like the ridiculous payouts of $1,500-$2000 at a time over the course of eternity. I only received $1,150 each time and they said it was because of "new rules" in the gaming industry. Finally 2 weeks ago and Friday after Thanksgiving I received my first and second payouts. First of all I'm being dinged $478.00 for free bonuses and chips. I have asked for an accounting of this but I have never received it.Also,I am getting dinged $100.00 on each payout. I filed a complaint with RTG, they sent it to CoolCats, CoolCats sent them a lame excuse and told RTG that CC could take ANOTHER 10-15 BUSINESS days to send me anything. This was on Oct. 22, 2008! I looked up my dispute and the status was "solved and closed"! Who solved it? Why wasn't I involved in the process? Why even file a complaint? Then, out of the clear about 3 weeks ago I received a random email from RTG Disputes stating that I had been cleared for more payments and to contact CS for details. I forwarded the email to CS and Withdrawals and neither entity knew ANYTHING at all about this email. I'm sick of this and just want them to do the right thing which is to give me the rest of my jackpot in one final payment AT LEAST A FEW WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!!I have waited long enough, shed ALOT of tears and made up many excuses to family and friends on why I wasn't getting paid. I was very excited and patient after I won the jackpot but now I am forlorn and sooo disappointed. How can they continue to get away with this? The one cudo I will give them is that Josh from Withdrawals does return my emails once in a while. CS has also been understanding (right) and not rude but again, they are worthless. My family had the worst year of our lives this year. I finally thought that something went right for us. It is so disheartening to hear every excuse on why they can't give me my money (including the US economy!)instead of JUST DOING IT!!!!!! Pleas help me get the rest of my money in time for Christmas shopping so that my family, especially my kids, can have something decent to look forward to. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I emailed GoneGambling over a month ago but heard no response. I have not gone on a wild rampage of blogging negative things about CoolCats and I have tried to be as polite as I can under these circumstances. Best, Terry Lehenbauer 707-438-0582 (USA)
I just read your review of CoolCat and can absolutely vouch that the comments on 48 hours or less payouts could not be farther from the truth. I just sent in a complaint telling you my reasons but if you review there payout Terms and Conditions you will be completely surprised. First,they state that it takes 7-15 BUSINESS days to "process" your winnings. Then they state that it takes another 7-15 BUSINESS days AFTER processing (which most people assume includes mailing or getting you the money)to EVEN get you the money in the method that you requested. This is approximately 1 MONTH before they have to send you anything! Also, this would be in a perfect world. It has taken them from Oct.1, 2008 until NOV. 20, 2008 to even get me my FIRST wire transfer. Also their T&C's state payouts are in the amount of $2,500 to $5,000, but, of course, my initial payout and the second payout I received on November 27, was only for $1,150. They know I have been upset over this extremely long and ridiculous payout schedule but chose to pay me in the smallest increments possible and blame it on their "processor". So, in reality, their "7-10" business days (but at the very bottom of the T&C's it says it could take up to 15 BUSINESS days) is really only the processor's time. It then states that it can take ANOTHER 7-15 BUSINESS days just to get you the money in the manner in which you requested your payout. So, please do not mislead innocent, naive people like me who were fooled by their deceptive verbage when I have only received $2,300 of an initial $7,000 jackpot since Oct., 2008. Please read my other email and ANY help you can give me would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

this casino is awful. don't play it, they make it easy to deposit and impossible to withdraw. This is one of the most crooked sites out there and I can't belive it's still up and running….jerks
worst casino ever do not play here what a rip of took there holiday 505 bonus won 20050 dollars when i went to withdraw found that i had to wager 7000 dollars first stay away from this casino at all cost dont make the same mistakes i have
after cashing in a free 50 dollar chip at cool cat casino i went on to plat black jack.. i played their required play through amount and ended up winning 262 dollars,,,, that was 3 weeks ago… i´m still trying to get my money,,,,, i´m not expecting my money as they will not even reply to my emails,,,,, i´m afraid this site is rather poor in the paying up department,,,,, but they will do all they can to assist you with deposits,,,, funny that,,,,,
I played the roulette at cool cats site with the no deposit $50 dollars I got it up $325 and I played on some other sites with the same casino program for roulette and I can say one thing the program is riping you all off the program I think is designed to let you win for a little time and take back
I notice if you go to a line bet it be ok for some time but after that one line will be imobile for 12 or 15 spins. the program is calculating your Balans and what it got to do to get your money the same on all the
site so its win win win for the casino thay got you all going and got you money thinks to the program thay got set up will im not going to pay for realmoney I was just checking it for some one thay ask me as i work on computars but I got in to it a little and ad a look at the sites and it seems that thay are all got some thing like that runing on the roulette and on blackjack
This Casino does not respond to e-mails. You have to fight them for every penny you win. I used Click2pay since the last time I won it took 3 months and payments coming in small amounts and freuent phone calls. This time I won $200 and figured using ctp would make the pay out easir. WRONG! they still have not paid me and will not respond to e-mails. Fun games but not a good casino if you want your winnings
The casino offers very nice Bonus , but they are tricky , first you must wager the playtrought on slots , and after there is almost a limit on withdrawal plus the bonus they gave you. Sometimes the playtime is very slow and jerky.
On my case after several deposit i got the jackpot , made the 30x time playtrought and won around 11.000$ but since the where a limit on 10x time withdrawal a could only take 1.500$ that i am still waiting for about a month , asked for the withdrawal on the 25 of february…
As an overall expierence is fairly good , i will be better if i get my winnings in the near future.
I am also a "winner" at Cool Cat Casino. I dont even know why my withdrawal was denied and my winnings were taken, because I have talked to three casino-hosts with three different reasons. I withdrew about 2000$ and in my "account history" it said "withdrawal approved!". But after 14 days, I asked their live customer support about it, they told me it was declined. Wish I had read this page prior to depositing to this "STAY AWAY FROM!"-casino.

Very slow payers, manager very poor, always blames the casino’s problems on player. I have wager for years with them with never any problems, however, with new manager Victoria, beware.
