Winner Casino Review

Winner Casino partners with NetEnt and Playtech platforms, providing over 200 games to SA players. On the upside of the casino, there are many tournaments with solid cash prizes that may reach $100,000, an excellent portfolio of live games with some rare game types such as Unlimited Blackjack, and lots of progressive slots. They have a plethora of everlasting bonuses and a pack of temporary promotions devoted to public holidays or special events. In Winner casino, registration is obligatory to play in any game mode.

Winner.com is also a poker room and sportsbook in addition to being a legal online casino so new players may find it a little discouraging when entering their website for the first time. Yet the navigation is perfect and there are no problems with the parts of the website which are not related to the online casino. On passing easy registration procedures (or signing in via a valid Facebook account), new users are eligible for a welcome bonus and other ongoing promotions running there on a regular basis. The number of slots is not that big comparing to other legal casinos in the industry, yet the Winner Casino website has a flexible system of categories and filters to help players group the games in a preferred manner.

Deposits and withdrawals in Winner Casino

The casino tries to meet all players’ needs and offers a good range of payment methods for South African users. Options include VISA/MasterCard, EasyEFT, paysafecard, Skrill, Neteller, bank transfer and some other electronic wallets and prepaid vouchers. As of writing the review, bitcoin transactions were not available in Winner Casino. For each method, there is the Information button by clicking which a very detailed description opens. It specifies the deposit time, fees (if any), the pending period for cashout and bank processing times. Deposits have no limitations imposed by the casino itself, yet there are some set by payment operators themselves.

Withdrawals are regulated in a more stringent way than deposits. The number of payment options to cash out funds from the betting amount is almost the same and the player is entitled to request withdrawal of any amount without going over the fixed limit of $9990 per month (or in equivalent currency). This can be a bit frustrating for some high rollers who tend to have very big profits in casino games, but the casino administration often meets the players’ wishes and lifts the limit on a case-to-case basis.

Online games in Winner casino

The online slots and other games in the casino come from two globally acclaimed providers such as Playtech and Net Entertainment. They are famous for releasing premium-quality slots with stunning graphics, three-dimensional animations and exciting bonus features. No download is required to play because all games and the casino itself are accessible directly on a web browser (desktop or mobile). Winner Casino have implemented an interesting approach to slots grouping. When in the casino lobby, a SA player will see many categories with dozens of games in each, including High-Adrenaline, Loose Slots, Movies-TV, Fantasy, Sports, Classic and others. Games can also be sorted alphabetically, by the date of release and popularity.

The progressive jackpot group is very big. It currently consists of over 30 games equipped with iconic progressive jackpots – their current value is around $35 million as of writing. The most glaring examples of progressive slots are Batman & The Penguin Prize, Beach Life, Gladiator: Road to Rome, Superman and slots of the Batman series. Under each game icon the progressive jackpot amount is ticking up, changing every second.

Slots with three reels are found in the Classic subgroup. They are not as numerous as five-reel solutions but each retro slot is a true piece of art. Some of classic slots also have a progressive jackpot. Other games include roulette, baccarat, blackjack, instant lotteries, a few arcade games and live dealer games from NetEnt.

Winner mobile casino

A mobile-friendly environment is what many SA players seek for when picking a proper online casino to play in. Winner Casino comes through for their mobile visitors by offering a fully compatible mobile website. Players, who prefer visiting the online casino on a smartphone or tablet, miss out on nothing because the mobile casino features excellent usability, sophisticated graphics, the same lucrative bonuses and tons of other entertainment options available on desktop.
