DublinBet Casino
1.6/5
Launched by Vuetec in 2006, DublinBet Casino is one of the pioneers of live dealer gaming. They operate out of Dublin’s historic Fitzwilliam Card Club and claim to be the first live dealer operation to stream directly from a land-based casino.
While Vuetec still owns this casino, they are operated by a company that’s licensed in Curacao called Starfish Media NV. They’ve also expanded the live gaming operation to include Dublin’s Penthouse and Expo.
Obviously live gaming is a big part of DublinBet, but they also have a large selection of other games that are provided by Betsoft, Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n Go and Yggdrasil Gaming. You can enjoy all of these games through your Android or iOS device. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to play here if you’re from China, Hong Kong, Turkey or the US.
Assuming you are able to play at DublinBet Casino, then you’ll no doubt appreciate the huge selection of live dealer games and slots. But one major downside I noticed is that the welcome bonus features terrible wagering requirements. I’ll discuss this along with all the other major points that you should know about DublinBet Casino below.
Any information on promotional offers is current at the time of writing and may be out of date. More current bonus information can be found in the bonus area on this page.
At the time of writing, the welcome bonus here is worth a 100% match up to €100, which definitely won’t excite high rollers, but it should suffice if you’re a low roller. However, one thing that you won´t like too much is that wagering requirements are 35 times the bonus plus deposit amount.On a positive note, DublinBet does feature a solid number of other promotions. Four promos that are going on at the time of this writing include:
– Slot of the Week: Deposit €10 and get 10 free spins, plus compete for €350 in leaderboard cash.
– Low Wagering Requirements Bonus: Get a 10% match bonus on Wednesday that must only be rolled over once.
– 50% match deposit bonus up to €100 every Friday.
– 50,000 SuperPoints: Log into your account and play 5 days a week for 50k SuperPoints.
Aside from the Low Wagering Requirements Bonus, the amount you must bet to unlock deposit bonuses here is pretty high. However, I do at least like the volume of promos that DublinBet offers.
The loyalty program here doesn’t operate on a tiered system like at most sites. Instead, you simply try to accumulate as many SuperPoints as possible and exchange them for various prizes. Some of the different things that you can do to collect SuperPoints include logging in every day (25 pts), registering for an account (200 pts), getting a win worth 50x your bet (50 pts), getting a win worth 100x your bet (2,000 pts) and performing 5,000 slots spins (5,000 pts).
Some of the different things that you can do with your points include trading them in for free spins, cash bonuses and deposit bonuses. Overall, I like the rewards program here and the variety of ways that you can use the points. It’s also nice for low rollers that you don’t have to advance up tiers just to get the good rewards.
The primary reason why DublinBet built a following in the first place is because of their live gaming section. They have one of the largest selections of live dealer games in the industry, including baccarat, blackjack, roulette, live casino hold’em, Super 6 baccarat, and a variety of tables dedicated to different languages/regions. For example, you will find Asian baccarat and Eastern Europe blackjack.
Thanks to their partnership with Starfish Media, DublinBet has greatly improved their slots selection. You’ll have access to hundreds of slots here, including Aliens, Bloodsuckers, Cloud Quest, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Game of Thrones, Gonzo’s Quest, Jack Hammer, Jurassic Park, Scarface, Steamtower, Vikings Treasure and Wild Blood.
Chances are that you won’t be too interested in the virtual table games at DublinBet, given their live gaming selection. However, it is worth mentioning that you can play all the classics along with Beat Me, Casino Stud poker, Pai Gow, Pirate 21, Poker3 heads-up hold’em, Red Dog and pontoon.
This is an instant play casino, and you can try any game without even having to create an account; just hover over the desired game and choose the Play Now option to get started. You can even play live dealer casino games for fun just to get a feel for them. And if you’d like to watch the action before playing for real money, visit the “TV Games” tab at the top to see a livestream from one of the three land-based casinos.
You can use a large variety of payment methods here beginning with the basics like Visa, MasterCard, Bitcoin, Neteller and Skrill, to more exotic options like Sofort, TrustPay, Nordea, OP Pohjola, POLi and iDeal. I saw some complaints from a few years ago about how DublinBet is slow to process cashouts, and they leave your winnings in pending accounts. However, my recent sweep of forums didn’t turn up any recent complaints about processing.
Customer support is available by email and live chat here. DublinBet also features an FAQ section that should answer many common questions and issues. I contacted customer support through live chat on a Sunday and quickly got a hold of a representative. One weird thing, though, is that I couldn’t seem to find a phone number to contact DublinBet reps.
Leaving aside the rather mediocre welcome bonus and the wagering requirements, DublinBet Casino seems to be firing on all cylinders in every other regard. They have lots of games, a big live casino, plenty of promotions and solid customer service and reputation. And as mentioned before, I also like how the loyalty program doesn’t include tiers and gives you a variety of ways to spend SuperPoints. I´d say give them a try a let us know how you liked it in the Dublinbet customer reviews section
