Boom Casino Review

Boom Casino’s welcome bonus for Canadian customers is simple, and it scales with your initial deposit. You get a fixed match on your first deposit. Then, an additional bonus amount for sports bets. Have a look at the details.

This bonus isn't quite as generous as some of the best Canadian online casinos at the moment. The bonus match at 100% is fairly standard but the total amount of funds available is lower than we've seen in the past.

The addition of up to $25 in sports bets is an interesting extra though. This should appeal to players who want to try out the sports side of things as well as their extensive casino library.

Everything looks solid so far, but let’s analyze the bonus terms to reveal the full picture.

• Minimum Deposit: CA$30
• Wagering Requirements: 40X Bonus
• Maximum Bet: CA$5 per stake
• Only Bonus Cash Bets Qualify For Wagering
• Bonus Expires in 60 Days
• Game Weighting Applies: Slots*: 100%, Video Poker: 30%, Oasis Poker, TXS Hold’em, Casino Hold’em, Blackjack: 10%, Roulette: 5%, All Other Games: 0%
  *some exceptions apply, please have a look at the full bonus terms on Boom Casino’s website.

Overall, we found the bonus terms in line with market averages. The wagering requirements are fair, and you’re allotted a two-month period to complete them.

The max bet rule is standard as well, and the game weighting percentages leave reasonable room for wagering on games besides slots.

Though, it’s a bit unusual that only bonus cash bets qualify for wagering. On the flipside, your real money winnings can be withdrawn anytime, while forfeiting your bonus cash + winnings.

Boom Casino has a vague promotions section which may leave you wanting for more.

The casino prefers sending personalized offers by email. These promotions are tailored to customers depending on their frequency of play and deposit amounts. As usual, the most loyal players get to reap the best rewards.

Make sure to subscribe to the casino’s newsletter and you will be instantly notified of any promotions available to you.

Boom Casino can reward you with bonus cash and free spins on various modern slots. Unfortunately, we cannot provide specific details of these offers. The fact they’re personalized and ever-changing means you must experience them yourself.

There are some CAD casino brands more transparent with what they offer to regular customers. In fact, many present the same value to all returning players.

However, before checking out other sites, we suggest you have a look at Boom Casino’s wager-free cashback program.  

As we mentioned above, Boom Casino is owned by a trusted company at the helm of brands such as Casino Heroes, Simple Casino and Speed Casino. As far as security goes, this is a solid assurance for us, but different factors come into play as well.

We like the fact that the casino is regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA/CRP/253/2013-01). Besides the UK, the MGA commands the highest respect in the industry. In fact, it’s the best licensing body for online casinos facing Canada players.

The casino offers regulated, audited and fair games provided by licensing gaming providers, which we discuss in our gaming section. The site also protects any sensitive player data through cutting-edge SSL encryption.

Boom Casino also has a dedicated responsible gambling page. In this page, you can find standard betting advice and access to third-party tools and organizations that can assist in controlling your gaming activities.

We were impressed by the number of self-control tools available at Boom Casino. The casino outperforms its competition by a fine margin here. Namely, you can set self-imposed:

• Deposit Limits
• Wager Limits
• Loss Limits
• Reality Checks

Additional account options such as self-exclusion (6 months – indefinitely) and account closure are readily available. For more assistance, don’t hesitate in contacting the casino’s live chat.

Since Boom Casino is an international brand, they offer geotargeted payment options. From what we gathered, many payment methods for each region are on offer, but not all of them.

• Canada: Interac, MuchBetter, VISA/MasterCard
• Different Regions: ecoPayz, Credit/Debit Cards, Skrill, Paysafecard

To get the best idea of payment methods available to you, check the cashier once you’ve opened up your account.  

Of course, the best news for Canada players is the fact Interac is available for deposits and withdrawals as well.

However, options such as INSTADEBIT and iDebit aren’t available, which is one aspect in which Boom Casino falls short compared to leading competitors.

*Identity and/or payment method verification is mandatory before withdrawals can be processed. This process is usually required once, but may extend your initial withdrawal timeframe.

The casino does not charge any transaction fees, regardless if you are making a deposit or a withdrawal. Your bank and payment provider may place a fee on your transaction, but that is out of Boom Casino’s control.

Transaction Limits:

• Minimum Deposit: CA$20
• Maximum Deposit: CA$5,000
• Minimum Withdrawal: CA$20
• Maximum Withdrawal: CA$10,000

Powered by leading names such as NetEnt, Yggdrasil, SBTech and Play ‘n GO – to name a few – Boom Casino delivers a state-of-the-art gaming selection powered by the industry’s finest.

The casino’s games rival market leaders in terms of quality, and quantity as well. Boom Casino’s MGA license lets them supply games by top-tier providers, in contrast to many Curacao-licensed Canadian casino sites.

The gaming library has decent filters by category that lets you easily find new games and established classics as well. Of course, there is also a search function to narrow down your choices.

Before playing, you can preview a game’s volatility, RTP, betting limits, main feature and maximum win. Such extreme attention to detail is a needle in a haystack even in today’s flourishing market, so Boom Casino earns big plus points in our book.

The most seasoned slot player will be satisfied with Boom Casino’s slot offerings. There are evergreens as Starburst, Dead or Alive, Immortal Romance and Ariana at your disposal, to name just a handful.

Out of the latest and greatest picks, we can single out Yucatan’s Mystery, Serengeti Wilds, Rise of Athena and countless of modern, feature-rich titles.

A good deal of Megaways slots will also grace your gaming sessions. Big Time Gaming originals such as Bonanza, Kingmaker and Extra Chili Megaways set the base.

However, Megaways slots by BTG partners such as Genie’s Jackpot Megaways, Primal Megaways and Buffalo Rising Megaways are on the menu as well.

In terms of progressive jackpot slots, you can expect the best on the market. Microgaming’s Mega Moolah leads the frontier in its base and spin-off variants such as Absolootly Mad and Fortunium Gold. Then you have NetEnt’s Mega Moolah and Divine Fortune as well. You can browse over a dozen of jackpot slots besides these, but we’ll let you discover them yourself.

Virtual Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, and Baccarat are available in abundance. Boom Casino respects the fact virtual table games are preferred by many. The site’s live dealer section is excellent as well, but more on that later.

You can browse dozens of titles and innovative variants of these casino classics. We can single out examples such as Casino War, Vegas Single Deck Blackjack and Let It Ride.

The gaming selection is completed by Scratch Card titles by Hacksaw Gaming. There are over 30 games to choose from and tons of casual fun to look forward to.

Boom Casino’s mobile website boasts an impressive, snappy design that’s as good as we’d expect from a modern online casino. The site looks sleek and it works fast, which are the two most important tick-boxes in our books.

The entire screen space is reserved for whichever menu you’ve selected. There’s a dropdown menu to the top-right that gives you access to everything you need.

From deposits, withdrawals, to customer support and bonuses – playing on the go won’t leave you disadvantaged in the slightest.

The gaming selection features identical features as on desktop in terms of filters and organization. There are hundreds of mobile slots, table games and the live dealer lobby as well. In our testing, we didn’t experience stuttering or freezes during gameplay, even in the live casino.

Some may see it as a slight downside, but Boom Casino can be accessed by web browser. Meaning, you can play instantly with no downloads required.

Boom Casino’s live lobby combines live dealer tables by Evolution Gaming and NetEnt Live. As such, it offers a live gaming experience that’s as good as possible in today’s market.

You will find fantastic variety and quality as well. A great deal of VIP and low-limit tables are spread throughout table game classics. You can choose from dozens of variants of Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Poker and Evolution’s innovative Game Shows.

The tables are streamed in HD and hosted by engaging presenters that’ll make sure you have a good time playing. The tables have superb betting options, and seats are open 24/7. In full tables, you can bet behind fellow players and get into the action nonetheless.

The best tables we can single out are Immersive Roulette, Lightning Baccarat, Mega Ball and Crazy Time.

The casino also has branded live games such as Boom VIP Blackjack. The attention to detail in the regular games’ selection is replicated in the live dealer lobby as well.

You can view betting limits, total seats and even the dealer’s name. Once again, Boom Casino goes above and beyond expectations by offering a little extra to customers.

Win or lose, Boom Casino rewards you with 0.5% of each stake (maximum of CA$1 per single bet) in the form of cashback as a loyalty reward. This “Boom Cash” as the casino likes to call it can be redeemed at any time, assuming you’ve completed 1000 spins. Each bundle of 1000 spins made at the casino increases your Boom Cash pot. Meaning, any accumulated cashback won’t be available to you unless you’ve completed the 1000 spins required for that pot.

Your Boom Cash has no wagering requirements and it’s up to you whether you use it to play or withdraw it once the conditions have been met.

As usual, different games contribute varying amounts to the loyalty program:

• Slots (except Blood Suckers/Wish Master): 100%
• TXS Hold’em, Casino Hold’em, Blackjack: 10%
• Video Poker: 30%
• Roulette: 5%
• Live Games: 100%

We advise you refer to the casino’s website for a full list of the game contributions and loyalty program details.

Our experience with Boom Casino’s customer support is excellent. When reviewing the casino, we contacted them on numerous occasions related to all sorts of casino matters.

We found the agents to be super-knowledgeable regarding bonuses, payment options, limits, and so forth. Of course, your best way of getting in touch is live chat, which is available throughout the day until midnight.

Unfortunately, phone support is unavailable, and we didn’t receive concrete information whether this will change in the future.

Before contacting live chat, we suggest taking a look at the FAQ section. It is categorized and filled with questions in virtually every topic you can think of. Many times, it’ll answer your question without the need of reaching out to support.

Non-urgent matters can be settled by email support, which responds within 24 hours.

• Live Chat: 09:00 – 00:00 CET
• Telephone: Unavailable
• Email: [email protected]
• FAQ Section: Extremely Detailed

As we have made it clear throughout our entire Boom Casino review, Canada is the site’s main focus, followed by New Zealand and several non-English speaking regions. In fact, the casino accepts players from a very limited set of countries.

The entire website is geotargeted and Canadians can enjoy seamless deposits and withdrawals through Interac. There’s also MuchBetter as an e-wallet alternative to Neteller and Skrill.

What’s more, players from CA/NZ get a custom welcome bonus with excellent value across the board. For French-Canadians, you’ll be happy to know that the entire website is available in French as well.

As we outlined in our payment method section, Boom Casino can improve by adding INSTADEBIT/iDebit for more flexibility to Canadians. Overall, though, they’ve made a strong effort to impress customers from this region.

Boom Casino has many makings of a market leader, but with room for improvement. As things stand, the welcome offer is excellent, and the gaming library is equally impressive.

You also have an oustanding live casino and a rewarding loyalty program to earn some extra cash while playing.

We like the fact Interac and MuchBetter are available, but Canadians may also prefer the missing Instadebit and iDebit. Live chat support is not available 24/7, but its quality cannot be questioned. They are quick, responsive and eager to help.

When all is said and done, the positives outweigh any minor flaws we found with the casino. As such, we conclude our Boom Casino Review with an excellent rating and a beaming green light!
