BeonBet Casino

BeoBet Casino Review

Some people will tell you to be on top of your game, others – to be on the bet! … Okay, nobody says that, but BeonBet Casino chose to run with it anyway, because they needed a name with ‘bet’ in it and all the good ones were taken! As you might have guessed, this site combines online betting and casino in order to provide an experience that will appeal to fans of both.

But does it succeed in that ambitious endeavor? To find out, we decided to look into it a bit more closely, checking not only its bonuses and games, but also its payment options (especially important for us Aussies), extra features, and of course, whether the site is safe to wager at or not. Once we were done, we wrote this very review just for you to show you everything you need to know and then some! We may not Be on Bet, but we do Be Betting On this being a good casino! … Okay, maybe our wordplay needs work too.

Bonuses

Welcome Bonus – 150% Match up to AU$700 + 100 Free Spins

The first thing that left an impression on us is that BeonBet Casino has not one, but four distinct different welcome bonuses! The bad news for casino fans is that three of those four focus on sports: specifically, a sports bonus, a high roller sports bonus, and an esports bonus. So if you’re a fan of sports betting, you’ll be spoiled for choice!

The good news is that even if you’re just a casino fan, you’ll get a pretty big bonus: an entire welcome package that will cover your first five deposits here! Even just the first deposit bonus is fairly generous in and of itself, granting you a 150% match up to AU$700. Although the maximum bonus amount isn’t huge, the fact that you’re getting 150% of your deposit as a bonus (when most casinos will only give you 100% is a huge win, doubly so since you’ll also receive 100 free spins on the slot “Sugar Rush” by Pragmatic Play.

The wagering requirements will be a little harsh, especially when compared to some of the other bonuses that the casino has to offer: you’ll need to play through both the main bonus amount and free spins winnings x40 times each to withdraw them. Tough ordeal, but hardly impossible.

Additional Welcome Bonuses

Just like we said, BeonBet has a generous 5-bonus welcome package. We already discussed the first one, but what about the remaining four? While at some casinos the bonuses are exactly the same and only the percentage and maximum bonus cash change, here the bonus conditions (specifically the wagering requirements) will also change, so we’ll go ahead and examine each one separately in the form of a table, alongside the first one (discussed above) for reference:

The exact bonuses here aren’t THAT interesting – we see the same thing we’ve seen a million times at other casinos, which is that the match percentages will grow smaller and smaller with each subsequent deposit. That’s standard – but what’s extremely interesting is that the wagering requirements will also grow smaller. That’s huge, and it gives you a much better chance of actually making a withdrawal.

For a practical example, if you deposit AU$100 the first time. You’ll receive AU$150 as your bonus, and will need to place wagers worth AU$6,000 to convert the bonus into real money. On the other hand, placing the same AU$100 deposit on your fifth deposit will only give you AU$25 in bonus cash, but you’ll only need to wager AU$500 to withdraw. That’s a HUGE difference!

Reload Promotions at BeonBet Casino

Once you’ve fully enjoyed the welcome package, you might be wondering what other bonuses this casino has in store for you. Maybe some extra weekly offers, or perhaps just some limited-time offers that coincide with different holidays? Sadly, the answer is “none at all”. The bonuses section is completely devoid of any other promotions safe for the cashback feature, which is tied to the VIP program and thus we’ll discuss further down in our review. Every modern casino site offers players the chance to keep receiving bonus cash, so the fact that BeonBet essentially cuts you off after your welcome bonus is a huge point against it.

Games

Having a really good welcome bonus is important – it’s what gets players to sign up for a casino, after all. But what gets them to stay is the grand collection of different betting activities. On that front, BeonBet delivers far better than with its bonuses, offering thousands upon thousands of pokies, hundreds of live casino titles, and a full-fledged sportsbook that’s bound to captivate punters in Australia and beyond.

With that said though, the games section does suffer from one major flaw: many of the listed games are actually unavailable to Aussies. This isn’t stated in any way – the games aren’t hidden, they aren’t greyed out, you can only discover that you can’t play them when you actually try. This can be incredibly disappointing and frustrating, and we don’t see why a casino that clearly accepts Aussies hasn’t done the bare minimum to accommodate us as an audience.

Pokies

As with most online casinos in Australia, the pokies are the main attraction – and there’s a lot of them! Even with the caveat that a bunch of games (such as those by NetEnt) aren’t available to us, there are plenty more which are. You’ll be able to enjoy well over 4,000 different titles from companies like RedRake, Mascot Gaming, Pragmatic Play, and Nolimit City. Although the casino’s promise of “over 7,000 games” is quite exaggerated, what’s here should be enough for most players.

And if you aren’t sure where to start, another of BeonBet’s features is bound to help you: categorization. There aren’t too many categories to choose from, but you can still filter out games that have a jackpot, win multiplier, or a high volatility (along with more standard filters like by provider, new, popular, etc). With that in mind, even players who don’t know which provider to start with can still pick the right game for them.

Live casino

While the live dealer section of BeonBet isn’t as impressive as its rather grand casino one, there are still plenty of options here to keep players satisfied. Most of them come from Pragmatic Play, one of the best live providers on the market, and widely regarded for the high quality of their rooms and the wide variety of their games. Whether you’re looking for something fairly standard (like blackjack and roulette, or some variation of those games) or something a little more obscure (like sic bo), chances are you can find it here.

Although Pragmatic is the main provider for BeonBet, it’s hardly the only one. Although the rooms of certain companies (like AsiaGaming) don’t seem to be available to Aussies, you can still enjoy titles from LuckyStreak and a few other, smaller companies. However, keep in mind that these options are mostly there as an alternative to Pragmatic, and not as something that is likely to be enjoyed on its own.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Us Aussies are often neglected when it comes to payment options, with many sites only supporting a handful of methods that us in the land down under would actually use. BeonBet is kind of like that, since it’s missing some payment options that are often used for online gambling here (like Neosurf), but for the most part have provided players with enough choice to make that not sting as much.

For instance, you can make deposits using Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfer, but also Revolut, Google Pay, and Apple Pay, which we assume most people reading this have at least one of. And if you want to use something a little more niche, you can still use e-wallets like eZeeWallet, Mifinity, and Jeton – even if prepaid vouchers are still missing (which is quite unfortunate).

On the crypto front, the selection here is actually pretty decent: you’ll have access to Bitcoin, Tether, Ethereum, and all the other big alt coins, but also some more obscure ones like Cardano and Ripple. Not everyone will take full advantage of those options, but that’s okay. They’re there for the crypto enthusiasts, and those players will undoubtedly find them extremely useful.

Withdrawal time

Once you win it big, it’s easy to get carried away and start preparing for your big feast – but hold your horses just a little bit. According to BeonBet’s terms and conditions, the casino reserves the right to dispatch winnings within 3 days, which means that you’ll be waiting at least that long to receive your hard-earned cash. But depending on your chosen payment method, you might be waiting even longer than that.

Most options will deliver the cash within seconds of it being dispatched: we’re talking about e-wallets (like Revolut and Google Pay) and crypto (like Ripple or Ethereum). Once the casino sends the money, you’ll get them right away! On the other hand, if you’re withdrawing into your credit card, or especially if you’re using bank transfer, it’s best to prepare for a wait time of up to 10 days. Annoying, sure, but that’s how it goes!

VIP Program

As we discussed while talking about the bonus section of BeonBet, the only reload promotion available here (the cashback) is directly tied to the VIP program. So clearly, that program is positioned to be very important… which is why we’re a little let down that it ended up being so basic. To sum it up in a sentence, you place bets to increase your level in order to unlock passive features that are probably not worth the amount of money you wagered to unlock them.

Yes, we know, this setup is quite daring – but wait until you find out about the actual features! You can get the aforementioned cashback (up to 10%), a significantly increased monthly withdrawal limit, a VIP manager, and a special monthly bonus! No, you’re not stuck in some “Groundhog Day” loop where you’re reading the same review over and over again, BeonBet’s VIP program is simply THAT unoriginal and boring. That’s already bad in and of itself, but it’s even worse when you consider that it’s the main bonus for existing players!

Tournaments

Pokie tournaments are one of the most beloved casino features, so there was no way BeonBet could miss out on that action even with its focus on sports betting! Sure, you won’t find too much here: as of the time of writing, there were only three tournaments, and all of them were “drops & wins”, meaning that they’re organized by the slot provider and are available in many other online casinos”. And yet, it’s all in the presentation.

As soon as you open up the tournaments page, you’ll find a big page that breaks down all the information you’ll need to start competing: what the prize pool is, which company is organizing it, etc. You’ll even find a handy list of every game that’s part of each tournament, allowing you to start it with one tap and get to playing instantly. That’s such a handy and cool feature that you have to wonder why it hasn’t been implemented by more sites!

Verification

If you’re a more experienced online casino gamer, you’ve certainly met with the KYC process in the past. Hell, even if you’ve never gambled, but simply own an e-wallet account (like with Revolut), you’ve probably needed to confirm your identity at some point. You’ll need to do that here at BeonBet too, and the process will be very similar, as you’ll still need to present certain documents proving your identity.

The main difference is that, although most e-wallets want you to verify as soon as you make your account, BeonBet (and most other casino sites) will ask you to do that when you’re about to withdraw. In fact, there isn’t any sort of verification done when creating your account or placing your first deposit. With that said, you’ll need to input all your personal details accurately, because when the real KYC process starts at withdrawal, you’ll have to confirm those with documents. And trust us, you don’t want to end up in a situation where you can’t verify because you entered the wrong address during sign-up!

Is BeonBet Casino Legit & safe?

It’s completely natural for players to feel a little cautious when it comes to the safety of casino sites – doubly so if those sites have strange, low-effort names like “BeonBet”. In this case though, there’s no cause for concern, and every reason to believe that BeonBet is a legitimate online casino that is highly unlikely to scam you.

Its parent company, Fortuna N.V., is a well-known player in the online gambling industry that hasn’t exactly been shy about placing their name all over many other casinos. If only one of them gets a big “scamming” scandal, they all fall like a house of cards – which is generally why these big companies are much safer than smaller ones with just 1 or 2 sites. And if that’s not enough of a guarantee, BeonBet is also regulated by Curacao and has a license it proudly displays on its main page (the legitimacy of which we verified). So even if you feel like you were wronged, a report to Curacao is all it’d take to get an investigation going.

Customer support

Stuck with some technical issues? Well, that’s no fun! Luckily, you have a few options on how to address them, with the main one (or at least, the one BeonBet Casino presents most prominently) being live chat. Luckily, you won’t need to deal with any chatbots or anything of the sort: once you connect, you get to speak with a human instantly. That may be the bare minimum, but it’s worth addressing all the same.

Unfortunately, the live chat agent (at least in our case) wasn’t very helpful, giving us responses that were a little vague to our liking. No worries, though: email support is often the superior option with these sites, and we can confirm that it works well here too. We’d generally recommend that you use live chat for smaller issues that can be resolved very quickly and email for more serious ones.

Mobile casino

The mobile version of a casino site seems like one of the hardest things to mess up, right? After all, most players will access a casino through their phones, so you want it to look as good as possible on the platform. Some casinos will go as far as to design their entire site for mobile and treat desktop as an afterthought! BeonBet doesn’t really do that.

The site already barely works on PC, with very slow load times and a clunky design. But those issues only get exasperated once you actually try to play through your phone. Just opening up the site from your mobile browser (the main way you’ll access it, as there’s no downloadable app) feels like a chore. It’s not even a matter of old vs new phones, it’s entirely a matter of poor design and optimization. It’s legitimately one of the most pressing issues the site’s creators need to address.
