God of Coins Casino Review

When you think of mythology, what kind of god do you associate with wealth? If you’re familiar with Chinese culture, you might be thinking of Caishen, a familiar figure with a long beard who is often depicted holding some gold. If you’re into Greek mythology, perhaps Plutus is the one that comes to mind – whose statue is famously placed in the Agora in Athens. And if you’re thinking of a pig in a Ninja Turtles-esque eye mask, then you might have seen God of Coins’ mascot in a dream.

Indeed, it’s strange how random and out of place this theme and mascot are, and we’re sad to say that it was merely an omen for what’s to come. Spoiler alert, but few things about this site were particularly logical or sensical, and we found ourselves clutching our heads in both despair and confusion many times while exploring its virtual halls. Still, we persevered – and the result is this very review you’re reading right now! What exactly went wrong? Stay tuned and find out!

Bonuses

Welcome Bonus – 100% Match up to AU$500 + 100 Free Spins

At first glance, the bonus section of God of Coins appears to be overflowing – there are so many items there that they’re practically enough to make your head spin! Make no mistake, though: the actual selection is pretty scarce, as we’ll discuss a little further in our review. To the casino’s credit though, its welcome package isn’t terrible at all, as it offers four distinct promotions, all of which worth claiming if you’re the type of player who enjoys bonuses at all.

For now, we’ll focus on the first deposit bonus, which will net you a 100% match up to AU$500 alongside 100 free spins – which is a fairly standard offer, but not a bad one at all. The bonus cash will ensure that most players will get a decently sized bonus, and the free spins mean that even a very small deposit will receive something worthwhile. The ones who would be most displeased by it are the high rollers who were looking to deposit thousands of dollars, but if that’s you, you can just use the bonus code “HIGHT” to receive a welcome bonus of up to AU$1,500 at the cost of the bonus percentage dropping to just 50%.

Either way, the downside is that the wagering requirements are pretty harsh: you’ll need to play through both your free spins winnings and the cash bonus x40 times within 7 days to withdraw them. To claim them in the first place, you’ll need to put down at least AU$30, so keep that in mind!

Additional Welcome Bonuses

But the bonus we described above isn’t the only one you’ll be able to receive when you first sign up. Instead, each of your first four deposits will be rewarded with a corresponding bonus, which must be claimed in order. Since all four parts of this welcome package are very similar, just with different values, we won’t waste too much time elaborating upon them. Instead, we’ll just give you the data in a fun little table:

As you can see, while none of the bonuses match the first one in free spins or match percentage, they all surpass it in the maximum amount you can receive – great for high rollers, less so for regular players. Regardless, all of them wil share the same wagering requirements as the first bonus (x40 for the entire sum).

Reload Promotions at God of Coins Casino

We won’t spend a lot of time talking about God of Coins’ reload offers simply because… well, there aren’t really any of them. There isn’t a single bonus that will give you, say, a 50% match in exchange for a deposit, like the welcome offer – which is a huge letdown that places this casino at a stark disadvantage compared to most of its contemporaries.

With that said, there are still some promos for returning players, just not a lot of them. For instance, there’s the cashback feature and the tournaments, both of which we’ll discuss in their own sections later on in our review. Beyond that, the only thing worth noting are the lotteries that will award money randomly to certain qualifying players. And yeah, those are cool, not to mention pretty frequent, but they’re not all that exciting. Even if you win, it hardly feels earned!

Games

Regardless of how you feel about the bonus section, the truth of the matter is that you came here for the games, not the bonuses. So, is that section better? Well… no, we’d say it’s precisely as mediocre. For starters, as we’ll elaborate upon a bit below, the pokies section is really sparse, and while not terrible, will give you a lot less games than many other casino sites operating in Australia.

Same goes for the live dealer section, which is similarly disappointing – and don’t even get us started on the instant win section which is completely empty! There are some good things here, of course: such as the sports betting section which, while nothing mindblowing, is well worth examining if you fancy yourself a punter. But for the most part, don’t expect to find anything here that you won’t also see at practically every other site out there.

Pokies

Boy, where do we even begin with listing the issues plaguing the pokie section? Let’s start with size: you’ll find just over 2,000 different games here, which might sound very impressive if you’re new to the world of online casinos, but any veteran can tell you most Aussie casinos have between 3,000 and 5,000 different titles on offer. Many of the games here are also from extremely unknown providers like Winfinity or Shady Lady, with the popular companies (like BGaming and Betsoft) being few and far in between.

Categorization is also a huge issue here, since it… doesn’t really exist. Don’t get us wrong: although the main “Slots” section doesn’t have any way of filtering out the games (not even by provider), if you go to the Lobby page, you’ll find plenty of categories like Jackpots or Books. However, these categories only show examples of games, with about 10 titles in each – they’re by no means comprehensive. Which means that, to make the most of God of Coins’ offerings, you need to already know precisely what you’re looking for.

Live casino

It may or may not surprise you to learn that the live dealer section is even worse than the pokies one – inexplicably so. Although in its list of providers God of Coins proudly proclaims that Pragmatic Live (an otherwise fantastic live company) has offered its rooms to the site, those rooms are nowhere to be found in practice. Instead, you’ll just have access to a small handful of rooms from Winifinity and Platipus Live.

And when we say “a small handful,” we mean, like… six. Four for roulette, two for live blackjack, that’s all we were able to view while researching this casino. No baccarat, no sic bo, no live game shows, and an extremely limited selection of rooms for the two most popular casino games of all time. Was this a bug? Some kind of temporary outage? It’s impossible to say, but at the end of the day, we can only review what we saw – and that was, very little.

Deposits & Withdrawals

So, you’ve decided to sign up for God of Coins anyway – but will depositing and withdrawing be easy? Come on, you know the answer by now, of course not. For starters, the available payment methods here are very few, with just credit cards, bank transfer and three e-wallets (Neteller, Skrill, and Jeton) available for deposits. Alternative e-wallets like Google Pay or Revolut, as well as pre-paid vouchers like Neosurf, are not accepted.

You’ll also be able to deposit with crypto, but again, the selection is hardly worth praising: just Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. Not even Tether is present, let alone more niche coins like BitcoinCash or Cardano! And even if you do find a method among these that you can use to deposit, withdrawing is a whole different beast, since it’ll require you to win at least AU$75 to initiate a withdrawal. That’s insane! It’s two and a half times the minimum deposit amount!

Withdrawal time

Okay, let’s say that you managed to – somehow – cover that ludicrous AU$75 minimum withdrawal amount. That means the winnings are coming immediately and you can already start planning your dream vacation, right? Well, not quite: before God of Coins dispatches even a cent, it’ll need to verify your account (we’ll go over that in more detail later in our review), and must also go through your transactions and wagers to make sure everything checks out. That will take about 3-4 days, and it’ll be mandatory for everyone.

Whether you’ll be waiting past that will depend on the payment method you’re withdrawing into. E-wallets like Neteller and Skrill, as well as faster crypto like Litecoin and Ripple, will net you the money as soon as it’s been dispatched. On the other hand, credit cards can make you wait up to 5 extra business days, and bank transfer, up to 10. So keep that in mind when choosing which payment method to use, and plan accordingly.

VIP Program

Within this site’s main menu (on the left) you’ll find a Loyalty Program and a VIP Program – however, as far as we can tell, they’re the exact same thing, just under different names. We’re not entirely sure why the site has them listed separately, but it’s hardly the first or last weird thing we’ve seen around here. In any case, the program (which we’ll call VIP for short) works exactly the way you’d expect, giving you passive perks in exchange for consistent, and frequent, betting. The more you bet, the higher your level will increase, and the more perks you’ll earn.

Admittedly, those perks are fairly decent. God of Coins has put a lot of emphasis on the weekly cashback (it even shows up in the promotions section), but the rakeback you unlock from Gold level onward was a lot more interesting to us. The downside? To get to Gold Level, you need to not only accumulate “Wager Points” (which you get by making bets), but also “Deposit Points”, which you get by, well, depositing. You’ll need to put down a total of AU$7,500 to qualify for Gold, and that’s without counting the tens of thousands of dollars you’ll need to play through. Basically, you have no choice but to buy your way into being a VIP.

Tournaments

Some players might briefly glance at the menu, realize there’s no “Tournaments” button, and then quickly assume that God of Coins simply doesn’t offer players any tourneys. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, tournaments are a major fixture of this casino, and there is a section dedicated to them – it’s just found in the Promotions page instead of in the menu. Once you head there, you’ll encounter 8-10 different tourneys of all shapes and sizes.

Some of them will be small daily and weekly tournaments, while others will be huge “Drops & Wins” promotions with millions of dollars at stake. You’ll even find live casino tourneys, which are always a sight for sore eyes! The big fixture here is the monthly tournament, which is heavily promoted throughout the entire site and comes with a hefty prize pool. We can’t lie, this section is undeniably the highlight of what is otherwise a deeply disappointing online casino.

Verification

If you’re a veteran player, then you’ve certainly gone through verification in the past – and if you’re a new player, you’ve certainly heard of it. But what really is it? Well, it’s a procedure you’ll have to go through the very first time you’re making a withdrawal here (or at any other casino site). Admittedly, God of Coins’ terms of service claim that you may need to be verified periodically, but in our experience, it’s very rare for casinos to do this again after the first time.

To explain it simply, this procedure will verify your identity in order to connect your real persona to your online casino account. This sounds much more complicated than it actually is – in reality, you’ll just need to provide the site with a few identifying documents, such as photo ID, proof of address (like a utility bill) and so on. Depending on how you deposited, you may also need to prove that you own the payment method you used, but that isn’t mandatory for all of them (specifically, crypto isn’t verified). So don’t worry: it’s a simple process you’re likely to take care of in 15 minutes, and it should result in minimal delays to your first withdrawal!

Is God of Coins Casino Legit & safe?

If you’ve been reading our review from the start, then you already know that we are’t the biggest fans of God of Coins – the site has poor bonuses, a modest selection of games, downright empty sections, and barely any payment methods. And yet, all of those things are borderline inconsequential compared to the biggest transgression of them all: this site is unlicensed, has an unknown owner, and is quite possibly unsafe to play at.

For those of you unaware of the term, a license is a digital certificate issued to a gambling site by a regulator which authenticates that it’s regulated and compliant with all the laws and rules of fair play. Without one, there’s no guarantee that the casino won’t decide to scam you or present you with unfair games. What makes this worse is that God of Coins’ owner isn’t stated anywhere, which means that, should you get scammed, it’ll be significantly more difficult to seek justice. Even if you had the means to sue (which is a much harder and more expensive process than issuing a report to a regulator would be), who would you even sue if you don’t know the company behind it?

Customer support

Although there are a lot of things wrong with God of Coins Casino, admittedly its customer support isn’t one of them. You can reach out either via live chat or email, and, in our experience, both options are viable for getting prompt and (as far as we can tell) decent support. When we tested out the live chat, we did get greeted by a chat bot at first, which admittedly made us cringe – but to our surprise, it was very easy to get out of it and connect with a human, one who joined us promptly and was very polite.

Of course, that human refused to answer some of our questions (like who the owner of this casino is), so we can’t vouch for how helpful it’ll be for your specific needs. But the rest of them were answered well enough, and when compared with other casinos that either have no viable support at all or the quality is extremely poor across the board, it’s nothing short of an achievement.

Mobile casino

God of Coins Casino isn’t exactly the most beautiful and modern-looking site out there, but its design gets the job done – which is also what can be said about its mobile version.

The web version is utilitarian, giving you access to whatever you may need (whether that’s making deposits or playing any of the titles available here) in a quick and straightforward, if not exactly pretty way. Despite ads of a downloadable app plastered all over the site on both its desktop and mobile versions, such an app – as far as we can tell – doesn’t exist, leaving you to rely on the mostly acceptable web version if you want to play on the go. What else can we say about it except “it’s enough”?
