1Red Casino Review

1Red Casino are a newcomer to the market, but their owner, Bets Entertainment, have plenty of experience running casinos. What distinguishes 1Red from their other brands is the ability to deposit using both AU$ and cryptocurrencies, instead of having to choose between either one or the other. In theory, you can even make one deposit using your card, and then immediately one using Bitcoin, which would both be usable on the same account!

Watch our Video review of 1 Red Casino for some quick facts:

As good as that sounds for crypto enthusiasts, ultimately every online casino lives and dies on its games and features. We knew from the start that 1Red Casino would need a strong selection of pokies, table games and live casino offerings in order to survive, even with the varied payments. Did it meet our expectations, or did it sink instead of swim?

Bonuses

Welcome bonus package – AU$10,000 + 100 Free spins

Some people prefer match bonuses, enjoying the freedom that the extra funds give them in feeling the casino out and finding a favorite game. Others prefer free spins, because they already have found their favorite game and want to enjoy it to its fullest without dealing with any math. 1Red Casino looked at those groups and said, “why not both?”

The first time you deposit at the casino, you’ll receive a 100% match bonus up to AU$10,000 – which is quite the generous offer, especially compared to other online casinos. The minimum deposit to trigger the bonus is AU$30, after which you’ll get whatever you deposited back. For example, if you deposit AU$100, you’ll get an extra AU$100 as bonus funds.

No matter how much you deposit, however, you’ll also snag 100 free spins that you can use on your favorite pokie. You’ll receive 25 free spins every day over a period of 4 days, allowing you to fully enjoy them and make them last. All winnings from them will be added to your bonus funds, alongside your match bonus.
It’s very important to note that, to take advantage of the bonus, you have to use the code ONERED while making your first deposit immediately after sign-up. If you forget, customer support may be able to help you, but it’s best to save yourself the hassle!

Games

To say that 1Red Casino offers a wide selection of games would be an understatement. They offer well over 4000 pokies, table games, live games and more, from every notable software provider under the sun.

Pokies

With companies like BSG, Betsoft, Yggdrasil, IGT and Reflex Gaming, among many others, providing their pokies to 1Red Casino, you’re almost guaranteed to find a few favorites among the vast offerings! Titles like A Christmas Carol, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde and Gladiator (just to name a few) are beloved classics, but you can also enjoy many lesser-known, but still high-quality pokies.

And if progressives are your jam, don’t worry – 1Red Casino offers hundreds of jackpot pokies like Clash of Gods, Lucky Cat and Book of Gold. Many of those games have jackpots ranging in the hundreds of thousands, and a few have passed a million. So if you’re looking to pose with a huge novelty check like other jackpot winners, these pokies are well worth check-ing out!

Live casino

The live casino section at 1Red Casino isn’t bad by any means – the fact that it offers one at all is actually a very welcome surprise. Unfortunately, its selection of games isn’t particularly impressive, especially compared to their vast collection of pokies.

Here are the games available at the 1Red Live Casino:

• Roulette
• Keno
• Blackjack
• Hold’Em
• Music Wheel

All of the bases are covered, so if you’re the type of player who only cares about hold’em and nothing else, you’ll probably end up feeling satisfied. However, gamblers who like to jump around between games will find the selection a little lacking, especially since most of the rooms are dedicated solely to blackjack and roulette. But the more unique games, like Music Wheel, only have one or two rooms dedicated to them, which often doesn’t feel like enough.

Deposits & Withdrawals

One of our absolute favorite things about 1Red Casino is the wide selection of deposit and withdrawal methods available to players. While most casinos will only offer you a debit card option, maybe alongside an e-wallet or two, 1Red lets you deposit with nearly any method available on the Australian market.

Of course, this also includes crypto, so if you’re not a fan of Skrill or Neteller, you can always whip out your crypto wallet and send some Ethereum or Dogecoin to your account! The sheer amount of choice that the casino provides its players is amazing, especially since you can even use prepaid, single-use cards to deposit.

The one big caveat to this wide choice is that your method of withdrawal is limited to your method of deposit. If you deposit using your card, you’ll only be able to withdraw back into your card, not in BTC for instance. And if you deposit using prepaid methods like Paysafecard, your withdrawal will be made into your bank account, or another method per the casino’s discretion. It’s a little unfortunate to be limited in this way, but also understandable.

 Withdrawal time

While 1Red Casino doesn’t explicitly state how long withdrawals last for most payment methods, it can be assumed that the process takes a few days. The slowest method is withdrawing via bank transfer, which will take up to 5 days to be processed. Presumably, withdrawing via debit card, e-wallet or crypto will not take longer than 1-2 days, although unfortunately we were unable to test that for ourselves.

Loyalty Program

1Red Casino offer their very own cashback program which rewards players with free money depending on how much they’ve deposited during their time with the casino. By making your first deposit, you’ll automatically join level 1 of the program, and from then on, you’ll get cashback on every deposit you make!

Here’s how the loyalty levels work:

This means that, if you belong to the first level and deposit AU$30, you’ll receive 10% of that (or AU$3) the next day as cashback. And while the later levels are quite unreachable for most players, overall it’s still a very good program that incentivizes loyalty.

 Tournaments

At the moment, 1Red Casino does not offer any tournaments. We’ll be watching the site closely and update this section if they ever do!

Verification

1Red Casino will not require any special verification when creating your account and making your first deposit. Instead, it’ll be the casino themselves who will verify you without any actions needed on your part.

However, as is the standard for all online casinos, your identity will need additional verification if you decide to withdraw your winnings. 1Red Casino will require a number of documents, including (but not limited to) proof of identity, additional details about your payment method (i.e. photos of your debit card, authentication from your e-wallet, etc), proof of address and more.

You may be required to submit documents at several stages before the casino pays out your winnings. This is frustrating, of course, but also mandated by law. The good news is that at least it’ll only happen the first time you wish to withdraw!

Is 1Red Casino Legit & safe?

Yes, 1Red Casino is completely safe and legal. Despite some troubles due to broken links, we were able to personally verify their Curacao license and ensure that it’s legitimate. This means that Australian players have nothing to worry about when playing and depositing at the casino!

 Customer support

1Red Casino’s support system can be accessed from the sidebar on the left on any page you’re browsing, and it’ll show you which agents are online before you’ve even started the chat! Agents are polite, courteous and very well informed, and they were able to easily provide us with the information we were looking for during our chats with them.

Mobile casino

While at one point 1Red Casino appears to have had dedicated mobile versions, they have long since been made obsolete, and are no longer supported. Don’t fret, though – their mobile website works beautifully, without requiring any downloads and taking up space on your phone! During our testing, we at casinoaustraliaonline.net were able to get every game we tried out to run on a phone, and while we can’t promise that every game in the entire casino does, we believe you’ll be satisfied regardless!
