Winward Casino Review

Winward Casino has been operating since 1998 and it is based in Costa Rica. Like most online casino sites, you can play games instantly. You have to download their software if you wish to play for real money, though.

A sign-up or welcome bonus of 100% is given upon an initial deposit of $25. The maximum welcome bonus amount that Winward Casino can give to a new player is $500.

Winward Casino is certified by Verisign to be a secure online company. Unfortunately, Winward Casino does not give enough information on the games that they offer. Guests wouldn’t know what they will get until they register and download the games. This is somewhat disappointing.

The Games

There is no total number of games listed on the site. An estimate of over 80 games is indicated, though. All classic table and card games are present such as blackjack and slots to name a few. This is not enough when compared to other online casino sites. You have to register first before you can try out any of the games and find out what the games involve.

When playing for fun, you may need to install a flash player. This could be a hassle for those who don’t care to install third-party software to their browsers. This can also be difficult for those who have slow internet connection.

You have to download their software to be able to play for real money. Game previews and screenshots are not given until you register. In short you can’t take a look around the games or a trial peek at the games without giving the site your personal information.

Promotions and Payouts

Prizes are pretty much the same as with other online casinos. Prizes, giveaways, daily, weekly and monthly promotions are available. Progressive jackpots are not indicated in the site. A player will not able to know the full details of the games offered until he/she registers.

According to the site, they give 98% pay outs. The odds of the games are the same as that found in Las Vegas brick-and-mortar casinos.

Banking and Support

Payment methods are the same as other online casino sites. They take NETeller, credit cards as well as EcoCard to name a few. The minimum deposit is $25. The site does not indicate the length of time for payments and withdrawal processing.

A player also has to wager 12 or 20 times the amount of their deposit before they could make any withdrawal request. This can be frustrating especially since some online casinos don’t have such a restriction.

Customer service can be contacted through e-mail, live chat or a toll free number.
