Monixbet Casino Review

When it comes to picking themes for your online casino, “the moon” and “elves” are two topics that are practically guaranteed to be a hit – and so the brand new Monixbet Casino has simply chosen to use both in its design! But its beautiful woodland rangers bathing in the moonlight won’t be enough to make this an attractive online casino, and that’s where we come in!

Over the course of this long, comprehensive review, we’re going to thoroughly explore everything there is to find out about Monixbet: its games, payment options, legality, promotions, and even often-overlooked aspects like its tournaments and support features! When all is said and done, we’re going to weigh all the pros and cons and let you know if the site is worth a sign-up, or if you should reporting it to your local night elf association for tarnishing its brand!

Bonuses

Welcome Bonus – 100% Match up to AU$750 + 100 Free Spins

Have you ever visited an online casino offering some giant welcome bonus, like AU$5,000, only to discover that’s not the first deposit offer, but the entire welcome package combined? It always feels a little deceitful, like you’re being advertised a much bigger bonus than you’d actually get… which is why Monixbet doesn’t do that at all. While it still offers a welcome package, each bonus that’s a part of it is listed separately in its promotions section so that you’d know at a glance precisely what you’ll be getting. It’s such a small detail, yet one that already shows how much thought went into Monixbet!

So, what precisely will you be getting once you make your first deposit? Well, once you deposit at least AU$45, you’ll snatch up a 100% match up to AU$750 – and while we always think that 100% is too low for a welcome bonus, that’s ultimately what most casinos offer, so objectively speaking it’s a pretty solid bonus. Doubly so considering the fact that you’ll also receive 100 free spins!

Though of course, as is the case with most casino bonuses, there’s some fine text you’ll have to be aware of. For starters, you’ll need to wager through your cash bonus once before you can receive your free spins – and even after you fulfill that condition, the spins will be given to you in batches of 25 every day, and you’d lose any spins from the previous batch that you haven’t used once the next one activates. Once you’ve played through all your spins, you’ll need to wager through both the winnings from them and your cash bonus x40 times within 10 days in order to withdraw the money. Admittedly, these are some hefty requirements that will definitely make withdrawing anything into a tall order!

Additional Welcome Bonuses

As mentioned earlier, Monixbet Casino offers not just a singular welcome bonus, but an entire package consisting of four different offers! We already covered the first bonus, but what about the other three?

Well, the second deposit offer is objectively the worst one, still giving you a bonus of up to AU$750, but this time downgrading you to a mere 50% match and just 40 free spins. Don’t despair, though, because the third deposit bonus, while still giving you a 50% match, will increase the maximum bonus to a whopping AU$2,250, and the free spins up to 75! And the best is yet to come, because the final bonus will give you a 150% match up to AU$3,750 and 120 free spins! How cool is that?! This should have been the first deposit offer!

With that said, the downside to all of these otherwise great promotions is that the bonus terms and conditions will still be just as tough as they were the first time around. You’ll still need to wager through your entire bonus once to receive any free spins, and then wager through both your cash bonus and spin winnings x40 times in just 10 days. No one said it’ll be easy… but it’ll hopefully be fun!

Reload Promotions at Monixbet Casino

Unfortunately, the one place where Monixbet falters a little bit are its reload bonuses. Granted, there is a VIP program (which we’ll discuss a little bit later in our review), but beyond that, you’ll only have access to a single promotion that will give you some free spins.

The offer is very self-explanatory: deposit at least AU$30 with the promo code “MXB20” and you’ll get 20 free spins. Do the same with at least AU$75 and the code “MXB50” for 50 free spins, and with at least AU$150 and “MXB100” for 100 spins. The only condition is that you’ll have to do it on a Thursday, and you can only claim it once per day.

It’s not a bad bonus! The only thing that’s disappointing is that it’s the only one. If there’s one advice we can give to Monixbet Casino, it’s to fill the rest of the week with reload promotions as well!

Games

Before we get into the games available at Monixbet Casino, it’s worth pointing out that the site’s primary focus appears to be pokies. This isn’t some speculation on our part – it’s something that becomes apparent right from its front page. As such, you won’t find anything too different from that focus, like sports betting, bingo, or any skill-based games. In addition, the live games, while present, aren’t anything to write home about.

With that said, a casino having a particular focus and sticking to it is certainly nothing to complain about – doubly so when it does it so well! The site is divided into various categories of games so that even a complete newbie can easily sort out the available games by provider, theme, or feature (like Megaways or Jackpot). And if you don’t know where to start, don’t worry! The site arranges all the games based on popularity by default, so starting at the top of the list will automatically display the games that other gamblers have gravitated to while leaving the ones nobody wants to play gathering dust at the very bottom of the screen.

Pokies

Monixbet’s slots are honestly one of our favorite things about this casino! First of all, there’s a lot of them – nearly 3,000 as of the time of writing, and that number might be higher by the time you’re reading! And it’s not just a bunch of shovelware that the casino has thrown in to boost its numbers, either! There are plenty of hidden gems around such as BGaming, Tom Horn, NetGame, Play’N GO, and many other classics that most seasoned slot gamblers are well acquainted with.

But the thing we liked the most here is that everything you see, every single game, is perfectly playable in Australia. Any title that is unavailable to Aussies is concealed by default, which means that this isn’t a situation where you’ll see 3,000 games, but can only play 1,000 – what you see is what you get. Again, Monixbet Casino has shown us that it truly cares about preserving the gambling experience through these small, yet very significant additions that haven’t gone unnoticed!

Live casino

The live dealer section of Monixbet is, admittedly, not quite as impressive as its slot-based counterpart – but it’s still not too bad. About 35 rooms will be available to Australian players, mostly from much smaller providers such as Atmosfera, Smartsoft, and VivoGaming. If you were hoping for the big hitters, such as Evoltuion Gaming or Pragmatic Live, sadly you won’t find them here.

With that said, there’s no doubt that the diversity of available games is at least satisfactory. Beyond blackjack, roulette, and baccarat (which you can find at any online casino), you’ll find games such as sic bo, hold’em, teen patti, dragon tiger, and even a single live game show: Atmosfera’s Music Wheel. It certainly won’t be enough to satisfy those who live and breathe live casino, but if you’re the type of player who mostly plays pokies and only enjoys live games every once in a while, then this section will be more than satisfactory.

Deposits & Withdrawals

For the most part, we’re pretty happy with the payment options of Monixbet Casino. For starters, the minimum deposit, while not exactly small, is fairly reasonable, at AU$30. The minimum withdrawal is much bigger than that (AU$60), and this would be the only thing that we could point out as a flaw in this section. Moving past that, it’s worth commending the very high maximum withdrawal limits (up to AU$45,000 per month), as well as the numerous payment methods available for both deposits and withdrawals.

Whether you’re interested in depositing via your card, an e-wallet (like Neteller or eZeeWallet), a pre-paid solution (like Neosurf or Paysafecard), or even crypto, we’re happy to report that you’ll be able to! Admittedly, the crypto choices could have perhaps used a few more options among them (like Dogecoin), but all of the biggest ones are covered, which means that any complaints we have here are extremely minor.

Withdrawal time

With so many different withdrawal methods all supported by Monixbet Casino, it shouldn’t surprise you that each of them will take a different amount of time to send your winnings your way. Admittedly, Monixbet themselves will take between one and three days to process all transactions, and that length of time is impossible to dodge no matter what method you’re using.

However, if you’re withdrawing using an e-wallet (like AstroPay) or crypto (like Ethereum), you won’t be waiting much longer than that to get your hands on your hard-earned cash, since those methods are practically instant. Even the slowest supported crypto (Bitcoin) won’t take more than an hour to send the money from one wallet to another. On the other hand, if you’re using bank transfer or your credit card, prepare to wait anywhere between 3 and 10 days, on top of the time it’d take Monixbet to transfer your winnings. Yep, it’ll take a while!

VIP Program

As we mentioned in the bonus section, Monixbet Casino does have its very own loyalty program. And while at first glance it appears to be pretty decent, it does have a fatal flaw that we’ll get into a little bit later.

The way it works is pretty simple, and not too different from how most other casinos do it: players can collect XP points, and once they’ve gotten enough, they level up! The rewards are fairly decent, too: a cashback up to 15%, dedicated VIP manager, free spins, wager-free cash rewards, higher withdrawal limits… It’s nothing spectacular or anything, but it’s a fun distraction, a way to earn a little something extra while you wager… Right?

Wrong. Because you see, you don’t actually gain XP while playing, as you would with most similar programs. Instead, you gain it by depositing – 1 XP is equal to AU$2. It takes 500 points to ascend from level 1 to level 2, and it takes an astonishing 100,000 points to get to the final level. That’s AU$200,000 in deposits alone! This completely defeats the purpose of a loyalty program because it no longer rewards loyalty at all. It rewards being rich.

Tournaments

Just like any other self-respecting casino that specializes in slot games, Monixbet also hosts its very own tournaments. The bad news here is that – as of the time of writing – they’re all “Drops & Wins”-type promotions, which means that they’re hosted not by the casino, but by the pokie provider, and as such are available at any casino that hosts the same pokies.

With that said, we’re cautiously optimistic that in the near future we’re going to start seeing some tournaments that are Monixbet-exclusive. After all, the site has gone out of its way to have a dedicated Tournaments section, and you don’t do that if you’re just planning to add tournaments that may as well be promotions. So, with some luck, maybe this aspect will improve in the future – but we can’t review the casino as may be in the future, only as it is when we’re testing it. And right now, its tournaments are pretty disappointing.

Verification

There’s no going around it – if you wish to withdraw from Monixbet Casino you’ll need to get your identity verified first, as is the case at most online casinos. There’s no need to worry, though! The process is very simple, and will take no more than an hour of effort, tops!

Here’s how it works: once it’s time to verify your identity (typically when you make your first withdrawal, though the process may be triggered earlier should suspicious activity be detected on your account) your account will be temporarily frozen. To unfreeze it and resume playing, you’ll have to procure a number of basic documents that can prove your identity, such as a form of photo ID, a proof of your current address, and evidence that you own the payment method you used to deposit at the casino.

Once you have all that, just snap photos and send them to the casino’s support team. That’s it! See, we told you it’s a simple process!

Is Monixbet Casino Legit & safe?

Monixbet Casino has a valid license from Curacao, which we were able to verify – but not without a bit of trouble! When we first opened its page in order to begin research for our review, we found information claiming that the site is licensed not by Curacao, but by Costa Rica… which would have been a little problematic because Costa Rica does not have a gambling regulatory body. You can register your business with Costa Rica, but you can do that with any business to the same effect.

However, just as we were getting ready to write off Monixbet as unlicensed, we opened it with a VPN and, lo and behold, it displayed a Curacao license, and a valid one at that! Which means that Monixbet is fully licensed to operate in Australia (and most other countries), it just… doesn’t display that to Aussies, for some reason. In all honesty, that reason probably boils down to a technical issue, something that might even be fixed by the time you’re reading this review.

So if you open up the site and are getting worried because you’re not seeing the license, rest assured that it’s there – and if you really want to see it for yourself, feel free to use a VPN to confirm! Just remember to never use a VPN while signed in at any casino, as it’s against their Terms of Service most of the time! It’s fine to use it to look around, but never to play!

Customer support

Having trouble with the site? Or do you simply have some questions whose answers elude you? Well, no one is more qualified to help you out than the casino’s support team! You can reach out to them whenever over live chat or e-mail, as they’re available 24/7 and respond pretty quickly, at least as far as we could tell!

Over the course of our research we reached out to them via both methods, and both gave us great results. As expected, live chat was much faster, so this would be the method we recommend for issues that are either simpler or time sensitive. However, both methods had us connected with knowledgeable and polite reps, so you can’t go wrong no matter which one you pick!

Mobile casino

Almost nobody plays at online casinos via their desktop computers anymore! Most players prefer to use their phones to spin pokies, and that’s precisely why casinos need to put their best efforts in making a great mobile version of their site – and we’re happy to say that’s precisely what Monixbet Casino did!

While you won’t be able to download and install a dedicated app on your phone, you won’t even need to, since the site works perfectly well via your mobile browser. By simply opening up the domain, you’ll gain access to a special mobile version of Monixbet Casino that has been optimized to look and work great on a phone’s smaller, vertical screen! Through it, you’ll be able to do anything you can do on desktop, like make deposits and place bets, all from the palm of your hand!
