Oshi Casino

Oshi Casino Review

Ah, Dama NV, our old friends! If you’re an experienced reader of our site, you’d know that we have reviewed many casinos operated by this company, and if you’re new and don’t recognize the name, then suffice to say that we haven’t always been happy with their products. At first glance, Oshi Casino looks quite nice – but with Dama NV, it’s always a coin flip.

To find out which side it will land on, we decided to thoroughly investigate Oshi Casino and learn everything there is to know about it. This includes its payment options, bonus features, safety, mobile version, and – what else – the games! Once we were done with our evaluation, we detailed our findings into the very review you’re reading right now.

So, is Oshi Casino a big win for Dama NV, or will playing at it make you utter its name in a whole new context?

Bonuses

Welcome Bonus – 100% Match up to AU$1,500 + 150 Free Spins

Casino sites’ welcome bonuses tend to be grand affairs, and Oshi Casino’s is no exception. Once you make your first deposit, you’ll have the option to double your winnings with a 100% match bonus. Usually we feel that 100% isn’t big enough, but in this case, we can accept it due to the very high maximum bonus amount – AU$1,500. That’s bound to make high rollers very happy!

But if you’re someone who doesn’t consider themselves a high roller, then no worries, there is something for you as well. Aside from the 100% match, you’ll also fetch 150 free spins that will be granted to you over 3 days, in batches of 50. This is great news for those of you who were primarily interested in playing pokies anyway, since you get a lot more value than just the match bonus associated with your deposit.

As always, though, you’ll have to contend with some nasty conditions – and in the case of Oshi Casino, they’re particularly brutal. For starters, you’ll only have 5 days to wager through your bonus, and you’ll need to do that x45 times (much higher than the average x30-35), which applies to both the bonus and the free spins. Last, but not least, while pokies will contribute 100% to that requirement, table games will only contribute 5%, and live games will not contribute at all. This, overall, will make it very difficult to withdraw the bonus.

Additional Welcome Bonuses – Up to AU$4,500

Thankfully, while Oshi Casino is generally a bit sparse when it comes to its bonuses, it’ll at least grant you three more deposit bonuses as part of its welcome package. Their terms are very similar to the first deposit bonus (x45 wagering requirement, 5 days, minimum deposit of AU$30 and so on), and they all come with a maximum deposit amount of AU$1,500. As such, we won’t spend too much time on them.

The only substantial change is the match percentage that you’ll receive with each bonus, as well as the amount of free spins. The second deposit bonus will net you a 75% match, but no free spins, while the third will reduce the match amount to 50%, but will sweeten the pot with 50 free spins. Finally, the fourth deposit bonus will net you a 100% match, but again, without any free spins.

This goes without saying, but you have to claim the bonuses consecutively – if you make a (for example) second deposit at Oshi Casino, you can’t jump to the fourth deposit bonus.

Reload Promotions at Oshi Casino

As of the time of writing, Oshi Casino only offers a single reload promo, which is disappointing, but hey – it’s better than nothing! To gain access to it, you must have first made four deposits at the site (so, in other words, you likely will have already used up the welcome bonus). After that, the reload bonus unlocks as an option during the deposit process as long as you use the bonus code “RELOAD”.

This will grant you a 20% match up to AU$150, alongside 30 free spins, which hardly compares to the grandeur of the earlier deposits, but that’s to be expected given that you can potentially receive this bonus with each of your deposits. Just like with the welcome bonuses, though, you’ll only have 5 days to wager your bonus x45 times (bonus amount as well as free spins) before you can withdraw it.

Games

There is no word that can better describe the collection of games available at Oshi Casino other than “colossal”. When you sign up, you’ll have access to thousands upon thousands upon thousands of different games from dozens of different providers. By our estimations, over 3,000 different games are currently available to Australian players, and honestly, this might just be a low-ball.

Obviously, the overwhelming majority of that number comes from the pokies, as is the case at every online casino. With that said, there are many other things to bet on at Oshi Casino – lotteries, scratch cards, ‘loot boxes’, and, of course, table and live games. One notable omission is sports betting, but it’s very hard to be upset about it given the wide amount of actual casino content on display here.

Pokies

As previously mentioned, Oshi Casino is practically swimming in different pokies. You could spend a day playing a different game and practically never run out, that’s how many there are. And the selection is no slouch, either! You’ll be able to enjoy pokies from some incredibly well-known providers, among which Booming Games, Betsoft, Tom Horn, Yggdrasil, IGTech and Mancala Gaming.

While we did encounter a few cases of games not loading due to geo restrictions (as in, not available in Australia), the vast majority of titles we tried out seemed to work okay, so we are willing to assume that the ones that didn’t were mere bugs rather than a big design oversight. In any case, it’s fairly easy to avoid them even as a new player thanks to the myriad of filtering options on offer.

Overall, Oshi Casino’s pokies section is near perfect, and will easily satisfy most gamblers who love to spin reels.

Live casino

But not everyone is a reel spinner – some prefer to spin roulette wheels instead of pokies, so does Oshi Casino cater to their needs? You bet it does! The site has dozens of live games from a number of different providers, almost guaranteeing that you’ll be able to find what you need!

The main provider for Oshi Casino is Lucky Streak, but you’ll also be able to find games from VivoGaming, TVBet and Atmosfera – and between those, you’re very likely to find the exact game that you’re looking for. Every casino has blackjack and baccarat, but were you in the mood for teen patti, andar bahar, or perhaps something like keno? You’ll find it here!

Deposits & Withdrawals

While we were okay with Oshi Casino’s bonuses and were very impressed by their games, their payment options are certainly going to be a point of contention not just for us, but for many of you as well. The reason is simple: there aren’t enough of them!

When it comes to flat currencies, you can currently make a deposit via your credit card or Neosurf. That’s your options, take it or leave it. E-wallets such as Neteller, Skrill, Jeton and eZeeWallet are nowhere to be seen (at least for us Aussies), as are alternative pre-paid solutions (like CashToCode). Bank transfer is available, but only for withdrawals.

Things are a little bit brighter on the crypto front, with most of the big currencies represented. You’ll be able to both deposit and withdraw via Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, as well as a few smaller coins. With that said, there are still a few omissions that we noticed even here, such as Dogecoin or USD Coin, so there is certainly some room for improvement.

Withdrawal time

If you thought the deposit methods at Oshi Casino were limited, wait until you see just how many ways you’ll be able to withdraw with – only two, bank transfer and crypto! This is rather disappointing, but putting our feelings aside, it’s still importnat to answer the question of which one will give you your winnings faster. And the winner is crypto, by a very significant margin.

The thing about bank transfer is that it’s extremely secure. Banks want to know who is sending the money, where they got it from, and why they’re being sent. That requires a lot of regulation, some of which is automated, some of which requires a human hand, all of which will take a while – up to 10 business days. Crypto transfers have no such oversight, that’s kind of their defining feature. This makes them unsafe (no refunds, ever), but also, incredibly fast. How fast? Well… Pretty much instant, as soon as the casino has dispatched them, that is!

VIP Program

Many online casinos will implement a loyalty program in order to retain their players and make them feel rewarded for their efforts and wagers. Oshi Casino is no exception, though the quality of their VIP program is another matter entirely. The basic structure is very simple: for every AU$60 that you wager at the site, you’ll receive 1 point. Gain enough points, you level up, unlocking new features.

Those are, admittedly, pretty nice – a weekly cashback (starting at 5% and ending at 10%), a dedicated VIP manager, reduced wagering requirements on the reload bonus (as low as x25), access to special events… At first glance, it really looks like a pretty great deal. The problem is that most of you reading this won’t ever get there.

Oshi Casino requires a lot of points to access even the lowest levels, and we do mean a lot. To even get on the ground floor of the VIP program you need 500 points, or a staggering AU$30,000 in wagers! Wowzer! Level two casually doubles that amount, and so do levels three and four. Mercifully, level 5 (the last one) doesn’t double it again to 8,000, but still requires 5,000 points to be unlocked, or AU$300,000. You could buy a house with that money, and we’re willing to bet you’ll get a lot more use out of that than out of a reduced wagering requirement on a 20% match bonus.

Tournaments

Thankfully, at least the tournament options available at Oshi Casino are much better than its VIP program, which should offer some great news to those of you who enjoy spinning pokies competitively. Once you access the tournaments section (from the side menu on the left), you’ll gain access to a number of active tournaments that you can join at any time.

Some of the tournaments will only be around for a week, while others, such as the bigger Drops & Wins promotions, will remain active for up to a year. Of course, the longer the tournament is active for, the more you’ll be able to win from it, but also, the harder it’ll be to rank high in its leaderboard. Still, that won’t be a problem for the most dedicated among you, so if you’re a fan of tournaments, get out there and give it your best shot!

Verification

Oh no, verification! If you’re an existing player, you already know that not only Dama NV, but nearly any reputable online casino provider requires players to get verified before they see even a cent of their winnings. And if you’re new, you’re probably wondering what in the world we’re talking about. Strap in, we’re about to get into some fun times!

To remain in compliance with money laundering regulations, Oshi Casino (and pretty much every other casino site out there) has to confirm that its players aren’t involved in criminal activity – which they do by verifying their identity. On your part, you’ll need to provide documents that prove you are who you say you are, like a form of photo ID and a document proving your current address.

Once you begin the verification procedure (which usually happens the moment you request your first withdrawal or exceed a certain deposit limit), you’ll receive an e-mail detailing all of the documents that are required of you. Just find them, take high-quality photos, and send them back. Within a few days, your account should be verified and you’ll be able to withdraw your hard-earned winnings!

Is Oshi Casino Legit & safe?

Sometimes, it can be very difficult to determine whether an online casino is legitimate or not… And other times, it can be extremely easy. This, thankfully, is one of the latter cases, because Dama NV (the owner of Oshi Casino) is a legitimate casino company with dozens of online casino sites under its belt.

But why are we so certain that this one is legit? Well, for starters, it has a license from the Curacao Gaming Authority which makes it at least somewhat accountable for the actions it takes regarding players. If it just scams you, you have an avenue where you can lodge a complaint. However, as far as we can tell, this hasn’t happened yet in a serious capacity on any of the casinos that Dama NV operates.

Of course, you should always do your own research and trust your gut. If you don’t feel comfortable about Oshi Casino, or any other, you should absolutely not play there. However, we estimate that the chance of having problems while playing there is very low.

Customer support

We have finally reached one of the most important elements of an online casino site – the customer support! Don’t believe us? Well, just think about what would happen if you got into some trouble with your account, such as your deposit not coming through! Without a really good support feature you’d never be able to resolve it, and thus play at the casino!

Fortunately, we don’t expect that you’ll be having much trouble with the support agents here. You can reach out to Oshi Casino directly in two ways: via live chat and via e-mail. The former option is recommended for simpler inquiries, and can be accessed in the bottom-right corner of the casino’s interface, via a blue speech bubble icon. This will connect you directly to a support agent who will help you with your problem in real time.

If you have a much more serious or in-depth question or if you simply don’t want to commit to chatting with someone live (hey, we’re all busy), then your only option is to send an e-mail. As far as we can tell, Oshi Casino does not support the option to submit a ticket via the site itself, but that doesn’t matter. E-mailing support is just as simple, and, in our experience, will produce a reply within 24 hours. Not bad!

Mobile casino

Overall, we really liked the mobile version of Oshi Casino! The site doesn’t have a dedicated app (which isn’t too unusual, since most casinos don’t), but you can still access a variant of it built specifically for your mobile device by simply opening the casino’s domain via your phone’s browser of choice. This will open Oshi Casino in a redesigned interface that’s very well suited to the smaller, vertical display.

The main casino menu will now be located at the bottom of your screen, giving you quick and easy access to important pages like support, promotions and games without getting in the way. In addition, every single part of the casino has been scaled down and it looks phenomenal on mobile. Of course, it goes without saying that you’ll be able to enjoy the overwhelming majority of Oshi’s games from the palm of your hand, whether that’s pokies or live casino.
