BetAndPlay Casino Review

There are so many online casinos out there – trust us, we know! There are those that are obvious scams, of course, but putting them aside, most are genuinely trying to be the best gambling site they can. They want you to have fun and to remain engaged, because both of you benefit from that. Some will do it with some kind of crazy gimmick, others – with insanely high bonuses.

BetAndPlay Casino goes for a slightly different approach. It doesn’t have any gimmicks, nor does it attempt to really stand out from the competition. Its name, design and interface are all fairly generic, and, at first glance, nothing about it seems like it’s enough to truly compete. Instead, it has opted for a different method of attracting and retaining players – by providing the best possible casino experience!

Crazy concept, we know, but can its quality make up for its generic presentation? That’s what we’re here to find out! We thoroughly examined and investigated every aspect of BetAndPlay Casino, then compiled our findings in this review to help you decide whether you should, indeed, bet and play, or if it’s better to cut and run!

Bonuses

First Deposit Bonus – 100% Match up to AU$750 + 50 Free Spins

Welcome bonuses are almost considered sacred by the online casino community, and there’s a good reason for that! This is going to be a player’s first impression of a casino, and if the bonus is insufficient (or, worse, if they’d rather not have used it at all), that’s going to negatively impact their impression of the site as a whole!

So, how have BetAndPlay Casino handled this all too important element? Sadly, not particularly well, because the bonus is extremely mediocre. When you make your first deposit, if you buy at least AU$30 worth of chips, you’ll receive a 100% match up to AU$750. On top of that, you’ll receive 50 spins on the Pragmatic Play pokie “Book of the Fallen”.

Overall, this isn’t particularly impressive. While the maximum amount you can get is totally fine, both the percentage match and the free spins are very low. The worst part, though, are the extremely high wagering requirements. You’ll have to wager your deposit bonus amount x50 times and your free spins winnings x30 times in order to withdraw either, which is pretty much impossible, and will certainly rub many players the wrong way.

Second Deposit Bonus – 100% Match up to AU$375 + 100 Free Spins

Many sites will offer players a bonus not just during their first deposit, but sometimes during their second, maybe even third or fourth! Well, admittedly, BetAndPlay Casino doesn’t quite make it that far, but it’s going to give you a bit of a boost with your second deposit. Perhaps even a better one than the first, depending on what you’re looking for.

Here, you’re still getting a 100% match, but the maximum amount you can receive is halved to AU$375. However, this will only affect the high rollers who love depositing hundreds upon hundreds at once. Instead, people who just like to put down AU$30 on a casino every once in a while will be far more interested in the 100 free spins on “Book of the Fallen” – twice as many as before!

Of course, the negative aspects of the first deposit bonus persist here too – you’ll still need to wager your deposit x50 times, you’ll still need to go through your free spins winnings x30 times, and both of these are still absurdly high for what you’re getting. Still, if you’re not planning on withdrawing your bonus and just want to play some extra pokies with it, neither of these welcome offers is particularly bad. Just not very good, either.

Reload Bonus – 100% Match up to AU$375 on Thursday

Of course, just because you’re all out of welcome promotions doesn’t mean the bonuses need to end – at least not at BetAndPlay Casino! The site will provide its existing players with two different offers that they can claim once a week, thus affording them additional bonuses whenever they’re needed.

The first offer will net you a 100% match up to AU$375 if you deposit on a Thursday, between 3 AM and 6 AM. Yeah, unfortunately this bonus (originally intended to be claimed on a Wednesday afternoon UTC) doesn’t mesh particularly well with our timezone, which leads to this awkward moment where you need to be up in the middle of the night to even get the bonus. Why they didn’t just make it so that you can get it all day on Wednesday (which for us would be half of Wednesday and half of Thursday), we can’t really say.

There is an additional requirement for claiming this bonus, namely that you need to have made at least one deposit in the week (Friday to Wednesday) leading up to the Thursday on which you’re claiming the bonus. This means that you need to effectively make 2 deposits to receive one bonus. Add to this the fact that there’s still a ridiculous x50 wagering requirement attached, and suddenly all of these unnecessary conditions have made an otherwise fun bonus into a slog.

Reload Bonus – 100 Free Spins on the Weekend

The other reload bonus available at BetAndPlay Casino is aimed squarely at the fans of pokies who are anxious to get their hands on more free spins! If you deposit at least AU$30 on either Saturday or Sunday, you’ll receive a corresponding number of free spins for the “Book of the Fallen” pokie. Here’s how much you’ll gain depending on the size of your deposit:

The fun thing about this bonus is that you can claim it twice per week, on each day of the weekend – thus get up to 200 spin in the same week. However, those spins will still come with an x30 wagering requirement, just like the welcome bonus’ spins. While this is by far the better reload offer, it’s still not quite as good as it perhaps could have been.

Games

Bonuses are very nice to have, and can change your impression of an online casino. However, it’s the games that can truly set apart a good site from a bad one – and, luckily, BetAndPlay haven’t faltered here. You can easily find hundreds upon hundreds of games, many of which from rather popular and beloved developers!

The focus here is clearly on pokies, with table games taking a bit of a back seat. However, that doesn’t mean that fans of cards and dice will be disappointed, as the live casino section still has plenty of fun to be had. Both sections definitely have a little something that they’re lacking, but what is there is plenty for most players to enjoy.

Pokies

The casino sports an, overall, rather impressive number of pokies – thousands provided by about 50 different developers, which is rather insane! Of course, quantity doesn’t always equal quality, and we’d be lying if we said there isn’t a considerable amount of filler to deal with at BetAndPlay Casino. Many of the providers don’t have games that look particularly appealing, and so they’re more of an inconvenience.

But does that mean there aren’t any decent pokies to play there? Absolutely not, all it means is that you’ll need to dig just a little bit deeper to find them. BetAndPlay Casino is still home to beloved pokies like BGaming’s “Elvis Frog” series, Yggdrasil’s “Valley of the Gods”, Playson’s “Book del Sol” and many more. It also has a dedicated category in the pokies section, which makes cutting out the filler and getting to the good stuff very easy.

Live casino

While not quite as decent as the pokies section, the live section of BetAndPlay Casino is certainly not without merit. Powered primarily by Atmosfera, LuckyStreak and Betterlive, the live casino offers a very good variety of games regardless of what you enjoy playing. There’s roulette, keno, baccarat, blackjack, andar bahar, sic bo, even live slot games if that’s what you’re into! Despite the absence of really big live casino providers, like Evolution and Pragmatic Live, this section manages to pull its own weight without much issue.

One small flaw that we need to point out is that while the rooms are very diverse in terms of content, they’re not particularly numerous. There are less than 50 of them as of the time of writing, which, right now, isn’t a problem. The casino is brand new and doesn’t have too many players – but, if the player count does increase in the future, finding a room to play at might cause some issues.

Deposits & Withdrawals

One of the things that impressed us most about BetAndPlay Casino was the variety of payment options available. Whether you’re interested in depositing using a bank card, an e-wallet solution or even a pre-paid voucher (namely, Neosurf), you’ll be able to make a deposit with whatever method is most convenient for you.

If flat currencies aren’t your thing, then a number of crypto coins are also available for both deposit and withdrawal. While the selection isn’t huge, most popular cryptocurrencies are supported, and there are no fees and taxes associated with them.

Withdrawal time

Winners at BetAndPlay Casino can withdraw their winnings using most available deposit methods, such as bank card, bank transfer, e-wallet (like Neteller and Skrill) or crypto. Of course, how quickly the transaction is processed depends entirely by the payment provider, and some are undeniably faster than others.

If speed is what you’re looking for, then you should consider using an e-wallet or crypto – those will process your transaction the fastest, and you should, ideally, have your winnings within a few hours, up to a day. Withdrawing to your credit card will be much slower, as it can take anywhere between 3 and 5 days for the bank to process that payment.

Bank transfer is by far the slowest withdrawal method, and if that’s the one you choose, then you’ll be waiting up to 15 days to receive the money. Keep in mind that if you deposited using Neosurf, you’ll only be able to withdraw using your bank account!

VIP Program

A lot of online casinos will have some kind of loyalty program to reward their existing players, and BetAndPlay Casino is no exception! Their program is rather simple: for every AU$5 you wager on pokies, you’ll receive 1 Comp Point (CP). That CP acts almost like experience points in an RPG, as the more you gain, the faster you’ll ‘level up’, gaining additional perks and privileges as a player!

Here’s how much CP you’ll need to reach every level, and what you’ll get from it:

Whew, that’s quite the program, it’s rather rare to see one with quite so many levels! And while it’ll definitely be an ordeal to reach 17.6 million points to “complete” it, the CP boosters you’ll acquire as you keep leveling up will definitely help out. In addition, you’ll also receive a specialized VIP manager that can give you more personalized advice once you reach the rank of Sergeant, which is also very welcome.

The cashback percentage will be calculated based on all of your losses from the week (and will be given to you every Friday). Meanwhile, the cash prizes will have wagering requirements of x20, which, while not ideal, isn’t too bad.

Tournaments

Who doesn’t love a good pokie tournament? Being able to spin your favorite pokies competitively is one of the most fun activities you can engage in in the online casino world, to the point where this is the only way some people choose to engage with pokies at all!

Alas, those people will be rather disappointed to learn that, as of the time of writing, BetAndPlay Casino doesn’t offer any tournaments. It’s important to keep in mind that, as we’re reviewing it, the casino is very new and might still be missing features that are on the roadmap to be added in the near future. So, if you’re the kind of player who adores participating in tournaments, don’t despair just yet! They might be here sooner than you think!

Verification

Nobody likes the verification process – trust us, we don’t like it either! But it’s a necessary evil that keeps players safe. For those who haven’t experienced it yet, verification (also known as Know Your Customer) is a process that triggers when you attempt to withdraw for the first time. Your withdrawal request will be rejected, and the casino will initiate a procedure where you’ll need to submit some documents to prove your identity so that your account can be verified and you can safely withdraw money.

This procedure is also present at BetAndPlay Casino, just as it is at every other gambling site. However, BetAndPlay have made it very straightforward, as you will only need to verify two things: your ID and your address. For the former, you’ll need a form of photo ID, such as your passport or driver’s license. For the latter, you need a document with your name and address, like a recent utility bill.

Just scan those documents (or take a good photo of them) and send them to the casino’s support team, and you’re done! While additional documents may be required, such as proof of ownership of your payment method, those will usually be reserved for players whose identity can’t be fully confirmed just from the other two documents. Either way, you’ll be withdrawing before you know it!

Is BetAndPlay Casino Legit & safe?

When you’re researching a brand new casino to play at, it’s always vitally important to double-check whether it’s safe to play there. After all, what good are games and bonuses if the casino is a scam and won’t let you withdraw any of your winnings? As such, it’s important to make sure that it’s not only licensed, but also has a good reputation with players.

In terms of license, BetAndPlay Casino is fully covered! It holds a valid license by the Curacao Gaming Authority, which we have verified and confirmed to be legitimate. This makes it a legal casino that you should have no problems playing at! As for reputation, BetAndPlay Casino is still extremely new, so we haven’t had a chance to see any reviews from players to judge one way or another.

With that said, it’s worth noting that the company which operates it, Dama N.V., is not exactly a newcomer on the casino scene. All of their casinos that we’ve reviewed so far scored very well on the safety scale and have a very good reputation, so we have no reason to believe BetAndPlay will be any different.

Customer support

It’s always vitally important for players to be able to reach out to an online casino in a quick and reliable way. After all, the last thing you’d want or need is to end up in a situation where your bonus doesn’t trigger, or your withdrawal request is rejected, and nobody can tell you why or help with it!

Fortunately, BetAndPlay Casino offers three ways to reach out to them, all of which are pretty quick. The recommended one is via live chat, which you can access from the icon in the bottom right corner of the interface. Alternatively, you can send them an e-mail or submit a ticket through the site. These will also yield fairly quick responses, but not quite as fast as the live chat, which is why that is the recommended support option.

Mobile casino

If you’re a mobile player who prefers spinning pokies while on the go rather than at home, you’ve got nothing to worry about – BetAndPlay Casino offers a complete and fully functional mobile version! To access it, you just need to open the site through your mobile browser, there’s no need to download any apps, which can help you save up on space and helps you avoid installing apps that you might not use too often.

Despite this, the mobile version actually works very well. In our experience, it loaded pretty quickly and had no missing functionality compared to its desktop counterpart. The interface has been very slightly redesigned to make certain elements more legible and easier to navigate on a smaller touch screen, but everything is still very intuitive. Whether you’re a veteran of the desktop version who wanted to try the casino on a phone or will be having your first experience with it on mobile, you’ll be having a pretty good time either way!
