Review of iNetBet Casino
Casinos based in Costa Rica generally do not have the strongest reputations. With the regulatory regime there non-existant, many rogue casinos are able to operate freely with little concern about being brought to justice. Fortunately, Internet Gaming Services' iNetBet Casino is one of the few online casinos that bucks the trend of shady Costa Rican based operations with a solid interface, good games, and a reputation for fairness they have earned since opening in 1999.
Games and software
First up, don't be turned off by iNetBet's dated website (the "new" comp points program page is dated 2002 for goodness sake!). Utilising Real Time Gaming software, iNetBet Casino is able to offer its players a variety of great games with the standard table games being combined with a mixture of innovative slots. The number and variety of slot machines available at RTG casinos is excellent, with machines on offer ranging from classic styled 3-reelers through to modern 5-reel video slots with 243 paylines, free spins and feature guarantees. Progressive games are also available to play, ready to make you instantly wealthy should you trigger the jackpot.
While the games online are great at iNetBet, a killer app that the casino holds in its pocket is the ability for gamblers to play casino games on their mobile devices. This allows players to take their casino with them wherever they go, which we found to be a really interesting feature; even if it felt like the software was somewhat dated when compared to larger brand casinos and their software that is currently out for play via officially supported apps.
Security and fair gaming
The security of a gambler's information and privacy is of the utmost importance to any legitimate gambling operation. Fortunately, iNetBet comes through with stellar player security. Using 128 bit SSL encryption, players can rest assured that their information will remain private.
Furthermore, iNetBet utilises independent testing and auditing to ensure the fairness of its games. Additional tracking is given to each transaction to have a detailed accounting history, which can be called upon should a dispute occur. Things like these are always nice to see, and seeing as how iNetBet is based in Costa Rica, more security and outside audits are reassuring.
Customer service and banking
The customer service at iNetBet is perhaps the weakest point for this overall strong casino. While the service provided is nice to see, the number of ways in which to contact customer service quickly is discouraging. While most casinos feature instant messaging for automatic assistance, iNetBet only features email and a call me back form. We personally would have liked to see more options, but the overall service provided was acceptable.
Banking options are plentiful, with Neteller, Moneybookers, UseMyWallet, Visa, Mastercard, ECO, Ukash, and Bank Wire being available for deposit and withdrawal. Checks are available for withdrawal, but can only be processed with a minimum of $100 in balance and incur a $35 processing fee.
Conclusion
iNetBet Casino provides a stable presence with a great RTG platform, particularly for players from the USA. The games are solid, and while the experience is not quite what you may see with some larger gaming groups, you likely will not be disappointed by your time at iNetBet.

Well, this casino gets 4-1/2 stars? I downloaded the program and it had a flashy 200% bonus on slots for new players. So, I said, OK that sounds GREAT to try out a new place. I deposited $145.00 and they gave it an account open of $245.00. My anybody's math is AIN'T no 200%.
.
by quipping would you like us to take the bonus off?
I said sure, if you could refund my $145.00 and I'll just go somewhere else! They emailed me back NO, WE CAN"T DOOOO THAT.... yeah, THATS what I figured! 

That's when I found out they DON'T have live chat and you have to email them to get answer. I emailed them to try and fix it before I started up play-I learned to fix things like this the hard way from other sites-they emailed me back-and to be fair, it was in a timely manner- that the max bonus was only $100 no matter what you deposited.
They should have put that in BIG letters instead of the flashy 200%!!!!....
Well, anyway, their email was snippy to me
ANYWAY, I started up using the crumbs the gave me and in 136 spins on the slot I did not get a SINGLE free spin... NOT ONE. I will not be back and do not recommend this site to US players.
This casino has odds that stink, no on-line chat, and snippy help....go over to Manhattan Slots for some REAL professional play. I am VERY suprised at the rating of casino listings for this site. Usually, they are right on the money. This site is MICKEY MOUSE. Caveat Empter!

Thanks for the feedback. These guys have been around a long time and have always been good in the past - no fuss, no flashy website, just dependable and quick to pay when you have a win.
It is possible that things are deteriorating due to the number of casinos closing after the recent U.S. government actions. Maybe they are cutting corners in the support department. I'll send an email to them and see if I can get any information.
As for the bonus, they were right. I checked the bonus page on their website (promotions on the menu then sign-up bonus link) and it agrees with what we have here up the top of this review page - i.e. 200% up to $100. So if you deposit $145, the maximum bonus they will give is $100, leaving you with $245 in total:

Yes they are indeed in Costa Rica and you are right that means no protection for players if anything goes wrong.
That is taken into account when it comes to rating them. The main points going against this casino are no live support and being in Costa Rica. However they have been operating for over a decade now and proven themselves to be honest and dependable as far as payments go. On our Costa Rica jurisdiction page we point out that they are one of the few good casinos operating out of there.
If you are in the USA, these guys are still one of the better casinos. If you are not, as always you have plenty of better options.

They also have some very wierd slots promotions. Bonus are available to play in some specific slot's games. Sometimes i play there without a bonus as i usually do but never won anything.
Yes, everyone says this casino is good and serious so i guess it's a decent casino to play.

Hi theraylander, I assume you mean McAfee's siteadvisor service that rates websites?
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/inetbet.com
It says there is risk but has no detail of anything specific. Maybe they mean its risky to visit a casino, which we all know it damn well is!
