No Below

One thing Parasino lacks is depth – or rather length. If you’re accustomed to scrolling down a lengthy page when you visit a website, you’ll be surprised to find there’s no such facility here; on most pages, all of the information is contained above the fold; there is no ‘below’ to discover. Parasino relies on Flash to run its games; if you’re using Chrome you may struggle to get these to work but you should have no trouble in a browser such as Firefox. There is also downloadable PC software for certain games such as backgammon. Play in browser or play on desktop; it’s your call.

Another thing that Parasino is lacking is an About page. The terms and conditions page however reveals that the site is operated by Camelot Global Investment Limited N.V who hold a gaming license issued by the government of Curacao. All of the games on the site have been independently tested to ensure fair play and honest payouts. If you would like to get hold of customer support, you can do so by live chat or email. Again, there doesn’t appear to be a dedicated help page, or at least not one that is visible without being logged in to the site.

Parasino Banking

Parasino provides a range of deposit options, namely Visa, Skrill, Citadel instant banking, Ecopayz, Astropay, Neteller, Paysafe and bank transfer. This information was provided directly by the casino. If you visit its FAQ, however, all you will learn is that the site accepts Visa, MasterCard and Maestro. It makes no mention of these additional options, which is strange to say the least. The minimum deposit amount is $10 and there is the option to voluntarily set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits. The only countries that Parasino won’t accept card deposits from are US, Turkey, Israel and France.

Your first withdrawal request will take 72 hours to be processed and the minimum withdrawal amount is $10. The maximum is $2,000 per day. Withdrawals cannot be paid back on to your credit card, so you will need to select an alternative option to receive your winnings. There may be withdrawal fees for certain methods; this information isn’t available without being logged into the site.

Search for Bonuses

While most casinos plaster their promotions prominently all over their homepage, Parasino does things a little differently. There is a promotions page, but you’ll need to search for it. You’ll find it in a menu option in the top right of the screen. There is a 100% first deposit casino bonus worth up to $200 – although confusingly Parasino have supplied information stating that this stands at $300. Whatever the case, this 100% offer is complemented by 30 free spins. There is also a 50% reload bonus on your first deposit of up to $200 at the start of each month.

Other sections of the site have their own proprietary bonuses. With the sportsbook, for example, there’s a 100% match worth up to $25 when you place your first bet. There’s also an additional 25% free bet bonus to be claimed when you wager on match betting, both teams to score, or match result and both teams to score. Finally, Parasino has a Ladies’ Night promotion on Mondays between 7pm and 11pm when there is a 40% bonus available up to $100, though it isn’t specified whether this is for the casino, bingo or what.

Casino Games

Think of a type of casino game you like and odds are you’ll find it – plus a whole lot more – at Parasino. The choice can seem overwhelming, but it’s a nice situation to find yourself in. With over 1,100 slots alone, you’re certainly not short of choice. There are loads of branded games as well as titles such as Golden Legend, Royal Masquerade, Wild North and Grim Muerto. Games can mercifully be filtered by provider and there is a search bar that will save some time.

Other categories that are also well stocked include table games, video poker, mini games, scratch cards and roulette. Then there is the live casino which is also loaded with all manner of enticing titles, including multi language versions of blackjack, roulette, baccarat, sic bo, dragon tiger and some lottery games. Whatever kind of game you’re into, from backgammon to baccarat, you’ll find it at Parasino, which might just go down as one of the best stocked casinos on the web.

Final Thoughts

In almost every respect, Parasino is a great casino, both to look at and to play at. There are a few flaws, but then no site is perfect. The good stuff has to start with the slots; the amount of games to be played here puts other casinos to shame. Admittedly, Flash games won’t appeal to everyone, and mobile players in particular won’t fare so well. If you can get the site to work on your desktop device however you’re in for a treat. It’s not just the casino that’s excellent at Parasino either; the same can be said of the sportsbook and the backgammon and other games categories.

In terms of drawbacks, an About page would be nice along with a more useful FAQ that was better designed, more user friendly and which actually provided comprehensive information instead of just hinting at such things as deposit options. It would be nice to learn how long withdrawals take to clear too. The absence of text areas in general also make this feel like a sterile site without much personality to it. In every other respect though Parasino is top-notch thanks to the quality of its games and the sheer number of titles to choose from.
