Lucky Vibe Casino

Lucky Vibe Casino Review

Some aspects of gambling rely on sound strategy, mathematics, and skill – no denying that. However, most of it is just vibes. Sure, you might have that one little ritual or betting pattern that’s guaranteed to win you money when playing pokies, but for the most part, you’re just hoping that the vibes will be lucky. And truly, is there a better place for that to happen than Lucky Vibes Casino?

At least, that’s the theory. In practice, this site – which appears to have an unknown owner – might give you the exact opposite vibes. So, should you trust your gut, or is this something of a hidden gem? To find out, we decided to thoroughly scope out the entire site, top to bottom, and discover all there is to know not just about its games, bonuses, and other fun features, but also about its payment options, VIP program, tournaments, and most importantly, safety!

Bonuses

Welcome Bonus – 100% Match up to AU$1,000 + 100 Free Spins

Lucky Vibe Casino has a ton of different bonuses it’s offering its players – far too many for us to seriously go into detail about! Luckily, they’re also very simple and straightforward, so there isn’t too much to explain. Take, for example, the one you’ll receive alongside your very first deposit with the site. If you put down at least AU$30, the casino will double it up to AU$1,000, and will also throw in 100 free spins on the house. Those spins can be played on select BGaming pokies such as Aloha King Elvis and Lady Wolf Moon, which is pretty cool.

As for the wagering requirements, they’re universal across both the cash bonus and free spins winnings: x40. That’s a bit steep, but it gets even steeper when you realize that you’ll only have 3 days to complete them. That is, in our opinion, what pretty much sinks an otherwise really decent bonus – most casinos will give you at least a week to complete the requirements. 3 days means almost no one will be able to withdraw their bonuses.

Additional Welcome Bonuses

Love it or hate it, the offer we described above is only part 1 in an entire welcome package! Indeed, you can also receive three additional promotions here, one for each of your first few deposits. The second time you buy chips you’ll receive the second deposit bonus, the third one, the third, and so on. For the most part, they work very similarly to the first bonus, but the catch is that this time you’ll need to use a bonus code to activate each bonus.

To keep things more straightforward, we’ve described the bonuses in a nifty little table:

Beyond that, all the wagering requirements are exactly the same as they were for the first deposit bonus – you’ll still only receive each bonus if you deposit at least AU$30, and yes, sadly you’ll need to wager them x40 times within 3 days if you wish to withdraw them. The only thing worth noting is that you need to claim each bonus sequentially, you can’t skip over them or pick the fourth one first, for instance. If you deposit without claiming a bonus, all unclaimed offers become void.

Reload Promotions at Lucky Vibe Casino

As we mentioned, Lucky Vibe has a lot of different bonuses – and that doesn’t just extend to the welcome package! You’ll be able to claim four separate reload promotions, each of which will be available once a week. This is besides the VIP programs which are entirely separate and we will explore in a different section of our review.

What’s interesting here is that there are 3 different reload bonuses that will give you bonus cash – and yet, one of them is so much better than the others that, assuming you have no intention of depositing more than once a week, you won’t ever need to use them. The Tuesday bonus will give you a 50% match up to AU$500, alongside 20 free spins, for a deposit of only AU$30. Meanwhile, the Friday bonus will only give you a 30% match up to AU$100, and the Thursday boost will give you a 50% match up to AU$500, but without the free spins and requiring a minimum of AU$50 instead.

The only offer that isn’t immediately a worse deal than the Tuesday one is the Sunday one, which will give you up to 150 free spins. The amount of spins will depend on your deposit, as the more you put down, the more spins you’ll receive. Even then, many players might prefer the Tuesday one, as the Sunday bonus doesn’t give you any cash. Definitely an odd way to go about things!

Games

Forget about bonuses, you didn’t come here for them anyway! You came here for the games, and unfortunately, you might not necessarily enjoy the selection here at Lucky Vibe. Don’t get us wrong: we’re not saying that it’s terrible, in fact (as you’ll find out in the sections just below) the pokies are really decent! If you’re a fan of spinning reels, you won’t find much to complain about here.

However, if you instead would rather play anything else, like live casino, prepare to be disappointed. Many popular sections are either very scarce or just missing entirely (like bingo, poker, or sports betting). The one saving grace here are the instant win titles, which are so numerous they have their own category, but again, this is a pretty niche genre of games that might not make up for other aspects of the site, at least not for every player.

Pokies

Pokies are undeniably Lucky Vibe’s strongest asset by far – and with games from nearly 100 different providers, they better be! The selection of games is pretty great, with titles from many popular companies like BGaming, Yggdrasil, Zillion, IGTech, NetGame, and Playson. Less popular providers like Turbogames and RAW Gaming are also here, but the casino has wisely not given them much prominence in its interface unless you specifically start looking for them.

Speaking of the interface, that’s another thing Lucky Vibe does very well. The pokies section is divided into categories that make it extremely easy to find your next game, whether you’re searching by feature (like megaways or jackpot) or just want to sort out the most popular games, or the ones that were newly added. It would have been nice if there was also an option to filter games by theme, but that’s admittedly something that not many casino sites offer.

Live casino

Although the pokies section was quite fantastic, the same can’t really be said about the live dealer one – at least here in Australia. As you may be used to seeing, us Aussies often get the bum end of the deal in this department, and Lucky Vibe is no exception: there are only a small handful of providers here, with the main ones being Luckystreak and Beterlive. No Pragmatic Live or Evolution Gaming to be seen, for whatever reason.

That lack of providers (and an emphasis on smaller ones) can be easily felt once you explore the selection of live rooms, which, while not terrible, do leave a lot to be desired. Granted, if you’re someone who primarily prefers to play the big games like blackjack and roulette, you’ll still find a lot of options for you, as you would at any other site. But the more niche games, like craps, are either almost or entirely gone. Not great if you’d like to play those from time to time!

Deposits & Withdrawals

Both casino games and bonuses are great fun, but ultimately meaningless if you aren’t able to make a deposit, right? So, let’s take a moment to examine the different payment methods you can use to buy some chips – and to Lucky Vibe’s credit, although there aren’t a ton of them, they actually cover a very diverse range! Most players are likely to deposit via a banking method (like Visa, MasterCard, or bank transfer), but if you’d rather put down money with an e-wallet like Neteller or Skrill, you can do just that. Hell, you can even use prepaid vouchers, specifically Neosurf and Paysafecard!

On the crypto front, things aren’t quite as diverse, but they’re still pretty decent and more than enough to serve the needs of most players. You can deposit with any popular crypto coin, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or Tether. A few of the more niche ones, such as Ripple, Cardano, or Tron are missing, which is a bit of a shame, but at the same time, it’s not like their absence impacts the quality of the casino that much.

Withdrawal time

Unlike many other casino sites (which limit the amount of payment methods you can use to withdraw from them), Lucky Vibe will let you cash out using almost anything that you could also use to chip in. However, there will also be some differences in how quickly that money will get to you. Although everyone will have to wait for 3 days (which is Lucky Vibe’s average processing time), after that things get a little murky.

If you’re using a payment method that exists entirely online, such as an e-wallet (like Neteller) or a crypto coin (like Litecoin), your payment will go through as soon as it’s been sent out. A few cryptos, like Dogecoin and Bitcoin, can be a little bit slower, but they won’t make you wait that long – unlike banking methods, which will add at least an extra 3-5 days to your processing time. Although they’re convenient, it might be best to avoid them if you’re in a hurry to withdraw.

VIP Program

It’s extremely common for online casinos to have some kind of loyalty program which further rewards the most hardcore players – but Lucky Vibe doesn’t follow that trend, as it doesn’t have one. Instead, it has TWO, both of which serve the same purpose, yet operate pretty differently. The casino calls them “VIP” and “Loyalty,” so those will be the terms we’ll use to describe them.

Admittedly, the “VIP program” isn’t very interesting, primarily because it’s by invitation only. It’s a binary option: you’re either in or out, and you have no control whether you’ll ever be in. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll get a personal account manager, personalized offers, higher withdrawal limits, faster withdrawals, and other such perks. But again, you might never make it that far.

The “Loyalty Program,” on the other hand, gives you a very clear metric with which to monitor your progress: every AU$20 wagered on pokies gives you 1 Comp Point (or CP). Once you earn enough, you’ll level up, which will not only give you a one-time no deposit bonus, but also a cashback. What’s interesting about this is that the cashback isn’t just weekly (like in most casinos), but also monthly and daily – so the casino is monitoring all your losses and essentially rewarding each one three times. Granted, those rewards are very small (starting at 3% and ending at 20% for daily), and you’ll be working your ass off to get to them, but it’s cool that they’re here at all.

Tournaments

Unfortunately, there isn’t much to talk about here – this casino simply doesn’t have any tournaments at all. Admittedly, the “VIP program” does mention that you’ll be getting access to “exclusive tournaments,” but since we’re not VIP (and probably never will be), it’s impossible for us to verify this. As for us peasants, we won’t have access to even a single tourney, not even “Drops & Wins” style promos which are normally found at most casinos. Bummer!

Verification

If you’re a brand new player eyeing your first online casino, then you’ve either heard of verification (but probably don’t know much about it), or are blissfully unaware. In either case, let us explain: verification is a procedure every online casino (yes, even Lucky Vibe) needs to adhere to in order to curb money laundering. It basically involves verifying the real-world identity of all players before they’re allowed to withdraw any money – hence the name. Some sites also refer to it as “KYC” – Know Your Customer.

Despite the fancy acronyms, this procedure really isn’t nothing special. You’d already type in information like your name and address when signing up, so now it’s just a matter of proving that it was accurate. You can do that with any form of photo ID, as well as with something like a utility bill or delivery receipt. Depending on how you deposited, you may also be required to verify ownership of your payment method, but again, this is trivial and will just involve taking a photo of your credit card or a screenshot of your e-wallet interface. Overall, verification really isn’t a scary or complicated process at all – at worst, it can be described as annoying!

Is Lucky Vibe Casino Legit & safe?

At last, we reach the big question: is Lucky Vibe trustworthy? And the answer to that is… no, not really. You might have already noticed that checking the site’s footer for information on its owner and license is a futile effort, and if you check its About Us page, you’ll just be greeted with some nonsense about “us gamblers” that doesn’t tell you anything about the people behind the casino. Obviously, with so little information, we had to start digging deep to find answers.

Ultimately, it was the affiliate partner – Rooster Partners – that gave us the clue that this site is likely owned either by Hollycorn, Dama NV, or both (as it’s possible that they’re actually the same company, though that has never been confirmed). With that in mind, we were unable to verify whether either of those companies has a valid, active Curacao license as of the time of writing. But even if they did, ultimately the fact remains that this license is hidden from you, and so is the parent company. That’s the bigger deal – that regardless of our speculation, the fact remains that Lucky Vibe’s owners are trying to hide from you. Which makes them inherently untrustworthy in our book.

Customer support

Experiencing some kind of issue with the casino? Well, getting some help is relatively easy here, since Lucky Vibe has provided players with several different ways to reach out to support, should they need to. Live chat will likely be many players’ first option, but it’s not necessarily an ideal one – when you open the chat box, you’ll be greeted by a bot that, although possible to escape from, will not let you go easily. And even then, responses can be very slow.

Instead, we’d recommend that you send an email to support – a process that will take longer, but will ultimately be significantly easier. You can do so the old-fashioned way (through whatever client you use, such as Outlook, Gmail, Proton, etc), or by filling out a form on the Support page with your information and inquiry. Doing so will submit a ticket to the site that will be responded to within 1 or 2 business days, or at least it should be.

Mobile casino

Do you play your favourite pokies on your phone? Come on, no need to be modest with us, we already know you probably do – mobile gambling is huge not just for us Aussies, but in general! Lucky Vibe has taken notice of that, as they’re offering players a robust, intuitive mobile version that can be accessed through any device (Apple or iOS). You don’t need to download anything, just log into the site through your mobile browser and you’re good to go. Doing so will give you access not just to the pokies, but also to the live section, the banking and bonuses, even customer support. It’s essentially the same site as desktop in both appearance and functinality, just “squished” to fit on a mobile phone’s vertical screen.
