Casino Extra Review

It is often difficult to find an online casino that goes above and beyond, but Casino Extra does a very good job at providing its punters with a gambling service that offers more than most. The well designed and easy to use website is filled with over 600 games, including slot machines, table games, live casino games and lots more. Plus, players can take advantage of a spread of promotions which includes a welcome bonus worth up to €350. 

The service is predominantly European facing and the website is available in a selection of different languages such as English, French, German, Spanish and Greek. However, players from all over the world can get stuck into the action, as long as they don't reside in any of the following countries: the UK, the US, China, Hong Kong, Turkey or the Netherland Antilles. The casino accepts payments from a range of methods in Euros, US Dollars and Great British Pounds.

A Casino in Good Hands 

This casino website belongs to a relatively small yet reputable company by the name of Starfish Media N.V., which also owns two other decent online casinos – Casino Estrella and Lucky 31 Casino. Both of these casino brands are held in high regard by customers and critics alike, so prospective players can hope to receive a top notch entertainment product from Casino Extra. In actual fact, this casino website is more or less a carbon copy of Casino Estrella in terms of structure and layout, save for a few differences in colour scheme and geographical audiences.

Players can also expect to find a gambling service that is perfectly respectable in the eyes of the law since this casino is licensed under the government authorities of Curacao. The website also states that the games all employ random number generators to ensure that every spin of the reels, throw of the dice and hand of cards is completely unpredictable. However, there is no sign of any certificate from a third party organisation to testify for this claim.

Limited Customer Support

Generally, the majority of players who have used this website have been satisfied with what Casino Extra has to offer, except for a couple of punters who have filed complaints online regarding delayed payments and non-delivered bonuses. That said, the casino has appeared eager to resolve such disputes to ensure that aggrieved players get some sort of recompense.

If players were to encounter any issues then they can contact the casino directly through an email communication portal. There is also a live chat service, but it only operates from 11am to midnight CET. 

Great Spread of Slot Machines

The mark of any good online casino is the variety of slot machines, and Casino Extra definitely passes the test as far as quantity and quality of real money slots is concerned. There are more than 300 slots to choose from in a lobby that stocks games from a number of respected software providers such as Microgaming, Play'n Go, Betsoft and more. 

Among the slots, there are some truly spectacularly designed games with 3D animations from Betsoft such as Boomanji, The Curious Machine and Rockstar – a video slot machine that is based on the popular console game. Microgaming also deliver when it comes to graphic design as well as thematic variety with a number of 5 reel video slots with branded titles from TV and film such as Game of Thrones, Tomb Raider, Terminator and The Dark Knight Rises. Play'n Go, on the other hand, serve up some 3-reel classics in the form of Irish Gold and Gift Shop.

Yggdrasil are perhaps lesser known than the other software providers, but they still over some thoroughly exciting spins and some interesting titles such as Robotnik while Quickspin serve up their award winning game, Big Bad Wolf. There is also Le Chocolatier by SkillOnNet, La Cucaracha by NextGen and Peek Physique by Saucify. 

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a great selection of progressive jackpots, nor are there many 3 reel classics save for a few games by Play'n Go and Joker 8,000 by Microgaming. 

Virtual and Live Casino Action

As for the other games hosted by Casino Extra, players will not be disappointed by a full range of more than 30 table games. There are casino classics such as real money and free online roulette and free online blackjack as well as some less well-known games like Pai Gow Poker, Red Dog and Top Card Trumps. There are also many different live casino games for punters to take part in with professionally trained dealers and realistic gambling excitement.

Quick Deposits, Timely Withdrawals

Even though this online casino is tailored towards the European betting market (and despite the fact that British and American players aren't allowed to play here), Casino Extra offers payments options in currencies such as Euros, US Dollars and Great British Pounds. Essentially, this allows players from countries which don't use Euros the opportunity to use another international currency that might be more convenient to them. 

The available deposit methods are extensive, with popular methods such Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill, Paysafecard and bank transfers as well as country specific online banking methods. Players can even fund their accounts with Bitcoins through their Neteller e-wallets. The withdrawal options are more limited with Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill and Paysafecard listed as the only options. 

All deposits are subject to a minimum limit of €/$/£10 and they will all be processed instantly, that is except for bank transfers which could take 2 – 3 working days. Withdrawals, on the other hand, must all be over €/$/£20 and they could take anywhere between 3 – 7 working days before they reach the customer. 

Bonus Fund and Free Spins Galore 

Casino Extra aims to live up to its name by providing players with a series of extra bonus boosts. To begin with, new players are treated to a welcome registration bonus worth up to €350 in total over their first three deposits. Plus, players will get 20 free spins every time they log in up to a maximum of 100 free spins to use on the popular Starburst slot machine by NetEnt (although this game doesn't appear to be currently available in the casino's lobby!). 

On top of that, there are many on going promotions such as a 50% reload bonus every Friday and a 10% reload bonus on Wednesdays. Normally, all bonuses that are given must be wagered by 30x the value of both the deposit and the bonus money that is awarded. However, the 10% Wednesday bonus will offer up to €100 with a wagering requirement of 1x the deposit and bonus – which is very reasonable indeed.

Spin While You Work 

Casino Extra can be enjoyed across a variety of playing platforms such as on your desktop computers as well as smartphones and tablets that are powered by Android and iOS. Players simply have to go to the website using their mobile browsers to start spinning many of their favourite games on the move. 

Room for Improvement 

All in all, this online casino presents players with a very good gambling service. There are sufficient games to keep players with all interests entertained for hours, and the casino will make sure that you are well looked after with a welcome bonus and a number of reload bonuses which recur on a weekly basis. 

There are a couple of minor issues which you should bear in mind before signing up and getting stuck into the action. One of these is the fact that the casino only operates its live chat service during certain hours of the day, and the second problem is that players could be waiting up to a week before they receive their requested winnings – even if the transaction is made via an online e-wallet.
