Review of Casino Cruise

Themed along the lines of a casino that you might find on board a cruise ship while travelling around some of Europe's grandest cities, Casino Cruise appears at first glance to ooze sophistication and elegance. The casino is an all-browser affair that offers games from top developers including Microgaming and Net Entertainment. I grabbed my boarding pass and took a ride with Casino Cruise to see if the style is backed by substance.

Software and game selection

As mentioned the main suppliers for the in-browser games you can find at this casino are Microgaming, via their Quickfire platform, and Net Entertainment. You can also find games from Play'n'Go, along with a number of smaller developers that are included as part of the Quickfire system. Freshly released games that I found while reviewing this casino included Dracula, Game of Thrones, Spiñata Grand, Steam Tower, and a couple of jaw-dropping games Forsaken Kingdom and Dragon's Myth, which are developed by boutique designer Rabcat. The design skill and animation modelled in these games really do have to be seen to be believed.

In all there are several hundred slot machines and the casino provides several ways of finding the right game for you. First off is the large search box which you can find on the game page that instantly looks for the game by name and shows you the results without re-loading the page. If you don't have a specific game in mind, you can browse via category, or even one of the preset collections based on themes such as "Film and TV", "Relaxed Vacation", or "World Tour". The search results are presented in the almost ubiquitous rectangular grid format that you are no doubt used to seeing just about everywhere by now. All in all it is a well designed and slick website that makes finding a game amongst such a big collection as easy as can be.

Those of you that prefer table games to slots have plenty to choose from as Casino Cruise stocks a full range of both Microgaming and Net Entertainment games. They have many variants of Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat, along with others such as Caribbean Stud Poker, Casino Hold'em, Oasis Poker, Red Dog, and Texas Hold'em. I did notice that they don't have a game of Craps though. You also have the option of playing live versions of Roulette, Blackjack, or Baccarat through the eight live dealer tables that the casino relays from a studio, 24 hours a day.

Banking and customer support

This casino has one of the widest ranges of currencies (28 supported natively) and banking options that I have ever come across. With credit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and vouchers all accepted, you should have no trouble moving your money into or out of this casino. After signing up and playing on and off for a couple of days, I submitted my first withdrawal. It took around a day for my identification documents to be verified and was then paid to my Neteller account before 2 days had passed. So not the fastest but not too bad overall, and I would expect future withdrawals to be processed faster without the need for another ID check. One thing to keep in mind though is that the withdrawal limits at Casino Cruise are not among the top end of the industry. The most you may withdraw is €5,500 per week and €22,000 in a month (€50,000 for VIP players), and should you hit a huge win of over €100,000 you can expect the casino to pay it to you in monthly instalments over a 10 month period.

Customer support is handled by either live chat, email or telephone. There is also a handy "call back" button that allows you to leave your phone number and the casino's support will call you back, which saves you paying any phone fees. One time when I tried to contact live chat I was told that all agents were busy and that I would have to leave a message and wait for them to get back to me. I'm not sure whether this was truly the case or simply that they do not operate 24/7 as the casino does not publish their support hours of operation. However I tried the call back option and someone called me within 5 minutes so it all worked out in the end.

Security, fairness, and responsible gambling

I was pleased to see that the casino operates at all times under a secure HTTPS connection. This encrypts all communication between your computer and the casino's servers so that the privacy of your financial transactions and gameplay is maximised. The casino has detailed and effective responsible gambling controls that allow you to limit your gaming according to different criteria that you set up in your account. For example, I can set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit, wagering, or loss limits, or even a maximum session time limit which will automatically log you put of the site when reached.

Casino Cruise is licensed to operate both by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority. The fairness of the games at Casino Cruise is not in question as popular, well known game providers such as Net Entertainment and Microgaming regularly have their random number generators audited to ensure that the results of the games are truly random. Many of the games at the casino have their RTP figures published in either the paytables or their help files. However, not all of the games do so, and there is no centralised list or page that details these numbers, nor does the casino publish any audited payout figures or monthly reports.

Conclusion

As you can no doubt tell from my words above, I was mightily impressed with Casino Cruise. It is a high quality casino with a great collection of games and wide currency support, that is backed by solid licensing and UK-based regulation. The main drawback that I can see are the weekly and monthly withdrawal limits that are most likely to affect those of you lucky enough to enjoy a larger than average bankroll.

This is an extremely long complaint which i an just going to try and keep as short as possible. In september 2020 i or slightly before i signed up to the casino. Shortly after i won R1900. It tooks months and months to verify as everytime they kept asking for the same details over and over and they do not come back timeously, you have to keep requesting and sending the same items. They delay the process out so long that you just get so tired and frustrated. Then eventually months later in about December or so the account was eventually verified. At that time it took so long that it said there was a system error and i had to redo the withdrawal process. But now once i clicked withdrawal, it said that i needed to make a deposit before i could withdraw. I found this very strange considering i had already deposited funds numerous times so why do i have to deposit again just to withdraw my winnings. The next problem was because they took so long to verify my account, i could no longer deposit money via EFT, it kept declining my cards, i tried various methods and still it kept declining, i spoke to their support team numerous times to rectify the issue which they could not and then eventually again months later they finally said oh no its because the eft option is no longer available in south africa and i must try to use a different card. During that time i just got so frustrated and then just played the money out and lost and then during January this year, my sister was staying by me and i said maybe we should try playing this casino but it keeps declining my card so she said its fine i can use hers so i transferred money to her card and then from her card onto the casino which worked perfectly. Eventually i played with the R500 which i brought up to R 5000 and decided i wanted to cash out then when they required the proof of deposit so in that initial email i sent the details i also along with it sent my sisters details and her ID and a written consent to say that she allowed me to use the card which they came back and said that the deposit was made by a third party, i said yes i know which is why i originally sent you all her details and i was the one who told you that it was to her card so then they sent me a form to complete to fill in her details from a third party declaration which i sent and which again took weeks and months requesting various documents which we did just for them to decline it anyway!!! And then they just refunding my R500 and the R150 that i put in via net teller because again i had to deposit money just to withdraw. So i had R650 in the account. Then i withdrew the R500 and they came back and said no i cant withdraw it because it needs to be put back to the card that it came from so i tried to do that then all of a sudden the minimum amount needs to be R1000 to withdraw so i said now how am i able to withdraw the funds if the minimum is R1000 and i only R500 and they said i must deposit money and i said they how can i deposit money if i am constantly saying that my card keeps declining which is why i asked my sister if i could use her card then they said no i must use swifty or something and i said but whats the point in adding another wallet when i already have one and also that contradicts what they said of depositing the money into the original account that it came from so im just going to do it through net teller since i already had to pay all the charges and extra fees just to deposit again in the account to withdraw what was already my money and now i check my balance and my pending withdrawals and its R0. I am now in April 2021. This whole problem started last year in September 2020. And i have no money since just losses of time and energy spent on them. I have even asked for all my chat history with their support because i am going to put this over all social media platforms so that no one else gets scammed into loosing money. I have all their emails apologising for their system error but i believe theses things are done intentionally so that they never pay anyone out. I want to expose them to the scam artist that they really are! I would not be in this situation had they not advised me to use a different card and just paid out the original R1900 but due to their constant system errors im the person in the wrong!

Good First deposit bonus with lots of free spins with your match bonus, including the free no deposit welcome spins which is always a nice greeting from a new casino. The Gensis Global casinos are top notch to play verify and withdrawl without fail

I decided to register here and write my own review. The game has so far been more than excellent, the site is fast, and the games are quickly opened. There was little waiting to approve the documents, but when I contacted them through the conversation, we solved the problem. At this point, I'll make a deposit in the casino, if there is no problem with pulling money at Skrill, I'll be a regular guest here!

Casino Cruise is great casino with great no deposit bonuses(they offer 55 free spins when you register) but one day the new rule came and no deposit bonuses are not for country Greece ! A friend of mine visit this casino to claim 55 free spins and the live chat tells him that Greece is not allowed to claim no deposit bonus and can play only with his money ! So that's why i dislike this casino now !

Casino cruise is an excellent online casino site, I play and become a member on their site, I feel quite happy to play there, because it can be said a lot of winning and a little defeat, they have a lot of interesting games that we can use, they also give good bonus for new players, exciting vip programs, weekly promotions, and more, if anyone does not have an account here then try to become a member on the casino cruise, a site that is well worth entering

2 years ago I joined a casino cruise, when I saw some interesting promotions like freespin, after I filled out my form there was no notice about the freespin bonus, then I went to live chat to inquire about the bonus, and the result they changed the freespin bonus which previously used in the game starbust they swapped with the SUNTIDE game from microgaming, I got 55 freespin in suntide, as I recall on the 20th spin I got bigwin about $ 20, but not long the game suddenly stopped and could not continue, after me try to reload it still does not work, then i go to live chat for that problem then they answer there is no history of any victory, but obviously i see with 100% awareness that i got bigwin, and i think they are unfair so i consider them not good for me, i can play somewhere better. Although they are also good, but to me they are very unresponsive,

I have read many positive reviews about this casino. I have registered here but have not had the feeling to play here as yet...not sure why. They have a great themed casino and some great promotions and offers to take up. Their support is great and helpful. I haven't heard anyone winning massive amounts here but I haven't read anyone post anything negative about this casino. I feel they are reliable and fair

I heard that this casino is reliable. But when I have registered and received free spins couple of hours I was wagering it and later support said that this bonus isn't cashable before you made deposit. But it's called "no deposit bonus", what a nonsense 😀 So I felt angry and frustrated about that and I haven't played there anymore.

This is a casino I found out a long time ago.I still remember that they offered some free spins for new players and they had some decent wagering requirements, which of course attracted me. Anyways, I did claim that offer and didn't win, but I enjoyed their page design and I made a deposit. I have played there several times now and I have also managed to make a withdrawal. I have spoken to their support and I think that they are very professional and friendly. The withdrawal I made also didn't take too long, I think it was around 2 days. I do wish that they had more promotions available but all in all, I really like them.

I must be honest I only registered with Casino Cruise for the welcome bonus they were offering newly registered players at the time which consisted of fifty five no deposit free spins without wagering requirements on Starburst which Is honestly too good to be true but sadly I did not manage to withdraw any winnings as greed got the better of me, One great perk of playing at Casino Cruise for South African players is its one of the few multi software casinos that offers ZAR as a playing currency another perk is the very wide variety of payment options available with all the popular e-wallets and pre paid card options available as well as the popular credit cards such as master card and visa , the support are available 24hrs a day via either live chat , email or phone call and support are friendly and professional , all in all they a fairly decent casino but I have seen many complaints in player forums regarding issues on the bonuses they offer so I think its best to play bonus free here to avoid any drama

Game platform is very nice, nice website and fast operators are very helpful and I got the bonus that I wanted after negotiation.
Lots of games to choose from, lots of offer and promotions, and also get a point for every 10$ you spent which can convert to cash ( no wagering ) for every 100 points.
Very well done.

Casinocruise is a professional casino Business and very Safe to Play at. I actually know the People a bit that run this Casino so i can guarantee theyre a safe place. Ok, compared to some other casinos the withdrawals are rather slow but they make up for it by offering a very tasty 200% bonus on the first deposit. So yeah i Play here ocassionally but not every week. Had one good Session so far with a big hit on dead of alive. Recommended!

EveryMatrix is a platform supplier that offers operators an easy way to set up a casino. They provide the software, allow the operator to pick which games to run, arrange payment processing integration and back-end stuff like that. They are often termed a "white label" supplier. Most of the EM casinos share the same license and as such, the sites all say that they are operated by EveryMatrix Ltd. However the actual operators running the casinos vary from site to site, so we have where possible attempted to find out the name of the company that is actually managing each site rather than saying they are all run by the same people (because they aren't). Payment speed, promotions and service levels can differ depending on who is actually running the specific "skin" that you are playing at.

However you are right that you can be affected by a policy applied at one site across others. I presume that EveryMatrix maintains a database of self-excluded players and checks against this whenever you register at any of their casinos. It is very important to remember that you should not use self exclusion as a convenient way of getting your account closed if you no longer ant to play at a casino. It is the nuclear option because most casinos just take that to mean that you have a gambling addiction.

We have recently finished some work that allows us to specify both the platform used by a casino and the specific game suppliers that they use. Not all EM casinos have the same games for example. If you look in the right column in the review above, we now list the platform supplier if it is known.

Went through the T&C's after sign up and noticed it's operated and managed by Everymatrix Ltd not Genesis Global Ltd.
If you know everymatrix ltd they have some strict policies concerning closed or self excluded accounts at other casinos they operate (they run alot of casinos) which they can implicate at anytime as i have learnt by experience ie: withdrawing then the rules kick in! ✋ Also what livechat says can be over-ruled by everymatrix ltd so beware.
Rules this place out for me 😠

I checked our database and we already have Belarus (and a few other countries) already marked as "no bonuses" for this casino. So they must have it in their terms somewhere...

Here it is. I found it in the general bonus T&Cs:

Quote:

5. Players from the following countries are not permitted to receive the first deposit bonus, any deposit bonuses or free spins unless otherwise stated: Turkey, Romania, Lithuania, Belarus, Latvia, Czech Republic, Hungary, China, Bulgaria, Poland and Ukraine.

Stick with CL Belaff. We at least try to save you from wasting your time! 😉

Hehe, found somewhere a link - create account at casino cruise and get 20FS on starburst - no deposit needed. Hm, okay, opened link, checked terms - nothing about Belarus, great, lets' register and play our 20 FS. Registered, confirmed account, opened SB - no FS for me. Contact live chat and was told that my country is not eligible for any bonuses at casino cruise. Lol, i pointed out that in terms at casino there is nothing about that. They told me that it is a rule, and they nothing can do. Closed tab with this casino and forget about it.

I am ok with this, but you really need to put this in term, to not waste my time. Quite bad thing.

Casino Cruise,
is an Slightly weird Casino, they are very famous also due the provide netent games,
but there service's are going up and down and they are running around with people, if i check complaints on the web. delaying payments for no reason, people getting ignored on attempting to contact the casino in different way's. too me this also happened, asked few time's how late and when they process my withdrawal, and there agents, say only; No idea. that's it further attempts to contact them all failed, withdrawal was send 8 days later! that's absolute worse i ever saw! there promotion's are good, but with this kind of service nobody would be happy to play there i guess. i would not choose them anymore for a nice couple hours of playing.

But, I haven't played in this casino, yet.

Now, by your review, I can feel safe 🙂
