Review of EmuCasino
Emu Casino is certainly one of the more uniquely named casinos that we have seen recently. The casino theme is based on the Emu, a large flightless bird related to the Ostrich that is native to Australia. It offers a wide variety of games thanks to a platform that provides games from many large gaming groups. The irony of this of course is that due to changes in the law in Australia, no Australians can actually play at the site at present.
Software and Games
Emu Casino uses a web-based platform that uses a wide array of games from 1x2 Gaming, Evolution Gaming, iSoftBet, GameArt, and more. The site has a pretty decent layout, which is easy to navigate by game type or software provider. There is also a search function built in, which will let you find anything seamlessly. Registering an account at the site is easy, and only took a few minutes to complete.
Slots (or pokies) are the main game category available at Emu Casino, with more than 1,000 games on the roster. Players will see a lot of popular games from licensed properties as well as unique games that are developed by groups like 1x2 Gaming and more. Progressive jackpots from iSoftBet are available, offering large cash prizes.
Table games, video poker, and virtual sports games are also available, but the real gem here is the live dealer games. Players will be able to participate in blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Casino Hold'em Caribbean Stud Poker, and Three Card Poker. All of these games are broadcast in high definition and are quite enjoyable for players.
It should be noted that many of the games on the roster here are mobile compatible. This lets you play games through your smartphone or tablet. This is a good feature, and I'm happy to have seen it here, as I like to be able to play table games while I'm out and about.
Bonuses and loyalty program
Emu Casino offers a fairly standard sign up bonus that is comparable to other casinos. What we found more interesting though was the loyalty program that allows you to spend EmuPoints (comp points) in the site's EmuShop. As you play at the casino you accumulate EmuPoints that can be used to buy bonuses and free spins, swag like gifts and holidays, or just a straight out conversion to cash in your casino account.
Banking and service options
Banking options at Emu Casino are extensive. The casino transacts in a bunch of different currencies, as well as accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for transactions. Deposits and withdrawals across the board carry no fees, which we found to be a positive difference from many other casinos we review. Options for depositing and withdrawal of funds include debit and credit cards, Bitcoin, Neteller, Skrill, bank transfers, plus country specific options like Interac for Canadian players.
Unfortunately withdrawals are held for reversal for 24 hours as standard. There are upper limits on cashouts too, with each transaction capped at $2500, though you can queue up multiple transactions at a time. However the casino restricts you to a total maximum of $20,000 per month. Some good news is that networked progressive jackpot payouts are exempt from this limit.
Emu Casino offers live support via text chat, email or telephone numbers as part of their repertoire. Live chat is the perfect solution for those quick queries you may have that need an immediate answer, and it is operated 24 hours a day.
Security and transparency
On the security front, Emu Casino uses industry standard SSL encryption to safeguard your transactions and personal information. Identification documents are required to be verified before you make a withdrawal. An interesting thing that I have not seen at many other casinos before is the use of two-factor mobile phone-based authentication when signing up for an account. This requires you to verify that you signed up by entering a code sent to your mobile phone. This is great to see, although in our opinion it doesn't go far enough and we would like to see it also used when making a withdrawal on your account for example.
The casino operates under a license issued by the island of Curacao. Regular readers here will know that we view this license as essentially worthless because contrary to what such licenses may imply, Curacao does not have an effective casino regulation regime. It is in fact a license fee collecting and seal issuing business that says nothing about the trust or confidence that you can place in a casino. That said, in over a decade of operation we have had few if any complaints from players about this casino.
Summary
Overall, Emu Casino represents a decent choice for punters. The game selection is great, the jackpots and loyalty program are appealing, and there are a wide variety of local currencies or crypto to transact in.

I have a problem with casino ému, I deposited 300 dollard usd
and I won 117.00 I was trying to make a withdrawal and the casino does not
give me any option to withdraw my money? despite that my account is fully
verified! I ask all Canadians not to deposit in the casino because you will have serious problems withdrawing your money.

By far the worst customer service I've ever experienced in life. Totally unresponsive, yet I need them to cashout my winnings. How this casino managed to receive a favorable rating is beyond belief. Has anyone here successfully cashed-out?

Even though I haven't won at EmuCasino yet, I find this casino very good for several reasons, among them: the design of the site which makes you want to play, the navigation which is good and simple, easy to find a game and the games start quickly without problems. my preferred deposit methods are accepted by the casino and a good selection of games.
since my registration at this casino I made two deposits and failed to win. I sent my documents for verification of my account but the casino support informed me that the verification procedure is only done after a withdrawal request. so far everything has gone well, whether the casino pays quickly remains to be seen.

Good thing about the Casino is that their ToC's are forced upon you after sign-up so that you have to read through them. Always a good start. However, the data asked when signing up is a little extreme. Asking for social media log in details and Id docs kinda put me off this Casino.
Then I read everybody else's reviews....

Emu casino is a casino I joined a while ago. I really liked their game selection and their lobby looked really nice. I also liked their promotions and there seemed to be something going on all the time, which I enjoyed. I played there many times and managed to win a few times too. At first I had some difficulties with verification, but I spoke to the customer support team and they helped me and after that I got my withdrawals rather quickly and without any issues. Unfortunately once I moved, I was no longer able to play there as my country is restricted there. But other than that, I would've definitely kept playing there. Great games, good promotions and helpful support team.

This is one of my favorite casino and good rated.

This Gaming works quite well. It professionally improves my winnnigs by a lot.
The casino looked great on my mobile. A tidy surface, and it run smoothly. Lots of games and slots. Unfortunately, I never got to Play them. I got the 35 Euro, 50spins No deposit bonus to the cashier and nothing happened. I went to the support and asked them. Then he send the same time same bonus without the words no deposit and I must deposit minimum 36 euro. I say hi is different and sent screenshots. He said is the same. I Said no. After 10 more minutes I asked him to delete my account. He did that and I left

Casino had arange of good providers, they've recently stopped allowing players from Ireland from receiving Bonuses which is indeed a let down as ive been depositing into Emu casino alot prior to that happening, pretty much 2 to 3 times per week as i enjoyed the bonuses.
I enjoy Microgaming so thats where i tend to stick!
Favorite game on site was Jason and the golden fleece.

Well finally i decide to try the no deposit free spins at Emu casino so i sent all documents needed with purpose to be eligible as verified member to receive my free spins !Unfortunately this was not good idea because i never received the free spins !The reason was that my id was not accepted as valid id so my account was unconfirmed ! They asked me to send them a driving license or a passport but my passport expired and i dont have driving license so my account still remaining unconfirmed until now !So my experience it was a waste of time and a headache for all related time i spend to find these documents ! I never had problem with my id with other casinos so i dont understand the rules of Emu ! Definitely i dont recommend this casino for Greek Players !

EmuCasino is not bad online casino site.It's relatively new casino site, their started own business in 2012. But it earned their trusty name. You can find here a lot of different slots providers such as Microgaming,BetSoft, Big Time Gaming, Pragmatic Play, GameArt and many more not so popular providers. If you are Netent lover it will disappoint you because it doesnt support Netent slots games. This site has five levels VIP program from Newbie to Elite with that program you can receive great loyal bonuses, free spins, cash gifts and many more. I'm a depositor here, so they always gives great bonuses on my birthdays. Casino support works qualitatively and always ready to help. Cashouts to e-wallets takes very fast, to credit card it takes up to 7 business days.

At this casino i like that have i am not a robot process when you enter at the site but i dont like the customer service because it is not fast and they dont answer sometimes ! So i am not sure if i will deposit at this casino !I also read many comments that players win big and having troubles to cash out ! So i will search for a better place to play

Thanks for your response Max.
I have just been chatting to Henry regarding my problems (still ongoing as of tonight) and total frustrations and hopefully he can help to resolve them soon.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Did you manage to contact our customer support when the error happened?
We would like to get more information for our investigation, and we would appreciate it if you could reply to the message that we have sent.

Have had a few decent wins at this casino and no problems with payouts and processing even though I always take bank transfer, funds are usually in my bank account within 3 working days.
However, over the last 3 weeks on 3 separate occasions I have been trying to play and have found that their site is EXTREMELY slow. So much so that when I try to make a deposit the screens take forever to load up and just hang so have backed out of playing there. I have high speed cable so I know its not my side. Even when I AM able to make a deposit the games hang, they shut down with error messages and when you close the games or refresh the screen then you cant get back into the game till you clean out cookies cache.
Despite have had good wins there in the past with good play for my money, I just cant be bothered persevering when I can get faster action elsewhere without having to constantly load and reload and clean cookies and wait....and wait...and wait.

I decided to play at Emu when I saw they were related to Videoslots,they no longer are related but they are just as fair and professional as dismembered Siamese twin 🚬
Im fortunate to have dual citizenship's for South Africa and Greece as I reside in both countries during different stages of the year so when in Greece I always play at Emu casino as my microgaming casino of choice when abroad, the support is top class with their sense of humor and easy going approach is the best I have personally ever experienced , the mobile site is excellent offering a very large variety of games from all the software providers and the desktop version is equally as impressive , I honestly have no negative comments about this casino except for one are that is in need of improvement would be the payout speed to ewallets in my experience has always been just over 24hrs bordering on 48hrs which inst too bad but if you a player like myself who top priorty is instant or max 24hrs then its a biggie but apart from that Emu casino is a top class five star casino that is in my personal top 10 list to play at

Can confirm with you that we have NetEnt games now 🙂
Try out the South Park slot, its pretty cool.

Emu casino,
they have been always a bit of a background casino in my opinion, you have to know them because they are not wide-range promoting. emu casino, have been undergoing a great refresh! added much more gaming providers to make players to have more games to play and more fun to have, well done. i played long time ago at emu, that time i have been treated very good there, quite large sums of free spins on deposit, or sometimes i could grab a deposit bonus, with 30x wager! support was that time only on email contactable and they where responding in under 1 hour mostly, which was very good. they are now even better, and they improved lot of things, casino looks much more better now, and they offer faster service, and process of withdrawals also goes bit quicker then before few hours is normal. maybe bit more online promoting will attract more players and give you a more growing casino, with even better ratings;) for me emu is a casino which u can trust, and i'm 100% sure you will always get paid!

Emu Casino has just changed its platform and re-launched with a fresh website. They currently have games from Microgaming Quickfire, 1x2 Gaming and MultiSlot. Net Entertainment games are in the works and should be added soon.

Emu casino it is wonderful online casino in my experience. And there is only one reason why this place did not become my favorite online casino. There is no netent slots, and i am big fan of this slot, yeah, for me this is only one minus of this wonderful casino. But from the other side there is a lot of other slots from different providers including quickfire, so if you not so addicted to netent like me, probably this minus can be skipped by you without a problem. Live chat support i used only once, and my experience with it was more than ok, very friendly chat agent give me answers on my question and was very friendly like i said. Unfortuantely i did not had much withdrawals, only 2-3 , but if i am not mistaken they process all my withdrawals on next working day if i request it in the evening, and if request about morning or bit a later - withdrawal come same day just on evening. Bonuses unfortunately not pefect, but in general is ok. Very good online casino which unfortuantely can't be my favorite place to gamble online, if only they get netent games.

This casino is quite various – and after noticing that large mobs of people younger than me The overall page layout and design seems to be a little bit older (but also maybe that impression is caused by Betsoft’s plain old slot games thumbnails between the others on the list gonna catch some thousands and we can go to australia for a day just for fun. But when I would have had enough money to immediately makes thasu je oro tam platnat t . They offer 11 spins for registration – you can guess who is eligible, only Australia and max 1-2 another countries. CL-Ed and klaw, hope you used it to make a big, that would be great (very rare occasion at all).
I have not claimed that free spins as well, but I was at least eligible to claim th ematch deposit bonus (CL.com helped me getting the 50% bonus to otherwise common 100% deposit bonus) and I played first one of my favorite betsoft games night in paris, but asi t did not pay I switched to some Microgaming(Quickfire, to be accurate) pokies. These bring to my gameplay higher variance and in the basis of that, the sinusoid-like behaviour of my balance current state increased its average amplitude, that in few moments after touched the x-axis and that was the irreversible (obviously except an external input) terminal state = zero funds 🙂
{ Now tell me, dear stuff. is it unique enough for you?! >( 😂 }
Anyway I rate this casino quite good. If they would have also Netent in the games variety, they could deserve 5/5, now its only 4/5 and that is also rounded a bit upwards.

PeDrone’s EmuCasino Review
Casino Software
This online casino using games created by Quickfire, Betsoft, Aristocrat, Quickspin, Leander Games, Genesis Gaming, NextGen Gaming, Rabcat and Play'n Go. It is operated by EmuGroup, which proves also the title. Personally, the games variety is not interesting enough for me, as well as the bonuses are a bit restricted, so there are some negatives out here.
Welcome Bonus
Standard bonus is 100% which I call average, the only good thing is that here comes CL.com with its exclusive
150% up to €200 welcome match deposit bonus ! Great. This is what a customer needs 🙂.
Deposits and withdrawals
There are quite limited banking options, which is by that well-known casino quite rare occasion. I deposited by Skrill – naturally, there was no fee, as usual, as well as the transaction time – money appeared on my casino balance immediately after depositing. The deposit was 20 credits and I claimed 40 credits in the result.
Even here I have not managed to withdraw anything, although I was quite close to this – I have just become more greedy than I should have become.
Customer support
Live chat support service is available. Live support representatives are ready only at certain hours, I dislike and get disappointed by these manners, because player could need live chat at any hour of day, so this is a negative for me.
Gameplay
I decided to try some other games, exactly these(I wonder if the software is called BetSoft but I am not sure).
A night in Paris – 0.30 – 1.80/spin – took me up! And nicely!
Rooks revenge – buried me, I was that dumm that I did not withdraw if I could 😢.
Summary
I recommend the casino, and if you are able to claim the free spins, I recommend it to you SURELY and IMMEDIATELY ! The payouts are good and the only negatives are a bit old page design and absence of live chat in certain hours.

My experience with emu casino was very good, i made couple of deposits in this casino, and also have one cashout, and everything with this casino seems OK for me, i have good experience and rate this casino high.
+ Games selection. There is not only quickfire slots, but also some other not very popular online slots like aristocrat. I tried many new games for me for first time exactly and emu casino, and also i am happy that all games working good with no slow spins.
+ Bonuses and promotions. I like that casino emu not greedy at all, and even after i stop playing in it, i still get very good bonus offers, reload bonuses from this casino is usually 50-100%, and it is good point. Also sometimes there is running interestig promotions, but i never take part at any.
+ Withdrawals. My single withdrawal took only two days, and for such casino it is good speed, not perfect of course, but fast. Verification took for securite department only couple of hours, and that also add trust points to this online casino.
+ customer support. I never touch email or phone CS, but live chat was online when i have question, it was only once, but i am happy with service that i get.
Final mark.
Very good and decent online casino with many interesting slots.

Hi, i hope you will enjoy my review of emu casino. I played at this casino probably year ago, or half of the year ago, i just can not remember correctly, but i think it is not so important. I join this casino because... because... i really do not know, i just find it on some affiliate site which i even not remember, and think to myself that this casino has interesting name, lol. Name is really interesting, i like casinos with unique games, not like VEGAS SLOTS, VEGAS BLACKJACK, SLOTCASINO etc etc, you know. ALso i was happy to see that emu casino offers nice selection of slot, in which was microgaming and nextgen, i like tihs softwares and was happy to join casino and play. I made there 3 or 4 deposits, but have no luck to test out their withdrawals or support, but at least i have some fun playing slots which i even never see before ( i think it was rabcat, or betsoft, who know, i am have no knowledge about this software, to be honest). I am pretty sure emu casino is safe and good casino to play, and if you tired from regular slots, there you can find some nice selection of games.
Hello, when i first time see name emucasino it was a russian forum in which player told that he liked casino and got paid from them. Of course i googled this casino, read about it, and check out which slots they had, and i like them, so of course i decide to make my deposit. Honestly, i did not understand how their welcome bonus, as from what i read i got that it is a post wager bonus, but you can not withdraw your money till you did not clear it. If this so, i think it is a very bad bonus, because what the point to give post wager bonus and did not allow to user withdraw his money at any time, as he just not used any penny of bonus money, he just get it from wagering only. I play there only once, and it was not lucky, but from 30$ deposit i managed to get probably two hours of playtime, which is nice. But they never send to me any other bonus offers or promotions, so i do not know why i should back to them.
Support: did not test
Withdrawals: did not test
Software: OK!
From what i can see and from my experience, i give emu casino 3 stars, they just average, and did not provide anything special to players.
I received a reply and live chat is available from 1pm Australian EST. I checked around 12:15 so I guess that explains why it was offline for me.
To be clear you cannot withdraw early with this bonus. However as explained above I still think the bonus is a better deal than it used to be due to the reduced wagering requirements.

First up, Mattl, in line with our bug hunt policy, I just credited you with 10 CLchips. Thanks!
Ok so I have checked out the T&Cs for the bonus and it is as you say. They are using a system that looks to be a hybrid of the post-wager reward style bonus and the Microgaming clearplay one where bonus money is converted to cash while you wager, as you pass each 10% increment of the total wagering requirements. Plain post-wager rewards used to be common but they are fairly rare these days. They can actually be good bonuses because you're usually not locked into completing a set amount of wagering. You can play as little or as much as you like and withdraw early if you win and if you wager enough at some stage you'll get a chunk of money added to your balance.
What I could not work out was whether you are allowed to withdraw early before completing the full wagering requirements on this one. I've emailed them to ask that. If you can, it would actually be a fairly good value bonus as you could withdraw after hitting a big win and forfeit the rest of the bonus, or just keep playing and eventually the bonus money would find its way into your account. Also they have reduced the wagering requirements substantially. Previously it was 25x (D+B) which is 50xB on a 100% bonus. Now it is simply 30xD, which is obviously 30xB at a 100% match.
Overall I'd say its actually a better bonus than it was before even if you can't withdraw early because of the much lower wagering requirements. However if you like to see the bonus money in your account up front and use it to play with it probably would seem a little strange.
As for the 10 free spins bonus, it looks like a complete waste of time to me. You get 10 free spins, and anything you win is only bonus money which must be turned over 40x on the one slot, Rook's Revenge. If you are lucky enough to get through that without busting, you can only keep a maximum of $10.
Re the support, they have phone, email and live chat options. However in the middle of the day in Sydney it was odd to see the live chat offline, so I'm chasing that one up too.

Thanks for the feedback Mattl. It looks like they have recently changed their bonus system. I'll take a look at it myself and update our database accordingly.
Re the email support - we initially noted that on our review but then they added live chat support later and we tested it and it worked. We'll have to take another look at that as well.

Beware!!
This is not actually a 100% up front WELCOME bonus. You have to earn the bonus in 10% increments at 30x playthrough of your initial deposit.
So from my deposit of $100 i managed to playthrough it 34.61% or wagered just over $1000 to release just $30 of my welcome bonus before going bust. To redeem anymore of my welcome bonus i have to deposit again and wager $300 before they release another $10(10%) of my welcome bonus.
Email from support:
If you, for example, activate your welcome bonus by depositing $100, you will receive an instant bonus of $100 to your bonus account. To turn the bonus money into real money you need to wager the bonus amount and the deposited amount 15x each (Total wager of $3000). You can make as many deposits as you want during your bonus qualification. Your bonus money will be paid out in 10% increments, if you have wagered $300 you will receive a bonus payout of $10 to your cash account.
For more information on our bonuses, visit this page: https://www.emucasino.com/au/promotions/
Bit of a snow job if you ask me. Why would i need a welcome bonus if i could wager $3000 from my initial $100. I know it can be done but without the help of the actual bonus from the start is cunning on there behalf!!
If you don't win right from the start the bonus is useless unless you want to pump more cash into your account to try to clear the bonus!!
They only have email support as well.
So i'd rate these guys a 3/10 as the layout and load times are bearable.
Oh and CL-Ed the $10 signup bonus is dead too. It's 10 free spins on Rooks Revenge now.
Alot better casinos/offers out there then this place. Live and Learn 🤷

Thanks for the feedback paulie.
I have actually met a couple of people running this casino and they are Australian which is good to see. A lot of other casinos slap up an Aussie flag, a few pictures of a koala or a kangaroo, and replace the word slots with pokies and pretend that they are Australian. But I can confirm that these guys are the real deal.

I've been playing at Emu now for the past few weeks and as the review pointed out their Cash Back program can really pay well. I've since scored $34, $29 and $64 in cash at the end of every week. I'm not a big player but get quite a bit back for what I have deposited. After a week they contacted me to tel me that my rate had gone up to 20%, which was nice.
Like the Aussie theme and great to see everything tagged Pokies and not Slots 🙂
