NitroCasino Review – A Fresh Face Online

One of the advantages of joining a new online casino is their welcome bonus. Most of their focus goes into attracting new players and what better way to do that than through a promotion. However, we were rather surprised to see that NitroCasino only offers a welcome bonus to players in certain locations. Check out what you could gain, depending on where you are, below:

If you join NitroCasino as a Kiwi player, you could gain up to $1,000 of bonus cash and 300 free spins. This is split over your first three deposits and follows the standard match-percentage formula. To make claiming your bonus even easier, our experts have broken down the offer below.

This is certainly a sizeable bonus package, which should appeal to both slots and table game fans. However, there are some key terms to know too. Again, our experts are here to help.

• Wagering Requirements: 50x bonus amount 
• Min Deposit: NZ$10 
• Expiry Date: Wagering requirements must be met within 21 days 
• Other Terms: Free Spins will be awarded upon completion of each deposit's wagering requirements. Your final set of 200 Free Spins will be rewarded in sets of 20 FS per day, over 10 days.

If you're playing from outside of New Zealand, fear not. New customers at NitroCasino are never left empty-handed. The online casino is giving out a different promotion each day, but we’ll take a look at this in our next section.

Nitro is taking a different approach to many of the other new casinos. Instead of focusing on their welcome bonus, they’ve put all their efforts into promotions for existing players. It’s usually the other way around. All customers are eligible to a new bonus every day and it only takes following the steps below.

The steps above are straightforward but there are other things to keep in mind. While we can’t tell you what kind of bonus you can expect, we can give you an insight into some of the terms. Of course, we always suggest checking back to the full policy as this can sometimes be specific to the offer. Below is a list of some of the more general T&C’s to keep in mind.

• Min. Deposit Limit: $/€10
• Max. Stake per Slot Spin: $/€5
• Wagering Requirements for Deposit Bonuses: 50 x Bonus
• Wagering Requirement for Free Spins: 20 x Bonus
• WR for Deposit Bonuses: must be completed in 21 days
• WR for Free Spins: must be completed in 24 hours
• % Game Contributions to WR: Selected Slots – 100%, All Other Casino Games – 0%

Follow the steps we outlined and keep the bonus policy above in mind and the NitroCasino rewards could end up being enough to outweigh the absence of a welcome bonus.

NitroCasino is operated by Betpoint Group Ltd., a company with multiple casino sites to its name including the well-known 21.com. Even though they’re new, the casino is being led by a highly experienced team. This should start to answer your questions about security. But of course, Nitro is still relatively unheard of, so we’ll take you through all of the details.

The online casino is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and makes this information clear on their homepage. They also link out to helpful organizations like BeGambleAware and Gamblers Anonymous. To further prove that they are advocates of Responsible Gambling, they offer players a dedicated page. All of the details are there, but we would like to see more effort being put into to the actual layout.

Speaking of usability, we do like the fact that NitroCasino has split their security section up. There are separate categories for their privacy policy, cookie policy, terms as well as details about age verification. These are all clearly laid out and easy to access. We’re only left wanting a page on Fair Gaming but luckily, they do show an RNG certified watermark in their footer section. The next step would be to link out to the actual certificates.

Considering how transparent they have been so far, we were surprised to see that there is no NitroCasino payments page. The only hint that unregistered users will get is via the banking logos at the bottom of the homepage. The list is somewhat incomplete though. Your other option is turning to the FAQs section but again, most of the details aren’t included. The only way to see the complete list of payment options available in your region is to sign up to Nitro.

Being a brand-new online casino, the list of options is slightly smaller than NitroCasino’s sister sites. Visa, MasterCard, Neteller, Skrill, ecoPayz as well as most of the other regulars are all available. Players from Canada have been accounted for too with region-specific options like Interac, iDebit and INSTADEBIT. As they grow and move into different markets, we can only expect to see more country tailored options join the portfolio.

While NitroCasino deposits are instant, most are subject to a charge of €/$1. Withdrawals are also subject to a fee, but they also require some time. We take a look at NitroCasino withdrawal times, limits and fees for each of the available payment options in the table below.

• Min. withdrawal limit: $/€50
• Daily max. withdrawal limit: $/€5,000
• Processing time: 1 – 5 Days

NitroCasino’s withdrawal terms are the same as most other Betpoint Group casino sites. The biggest upset is that fact that most withdrawal methods include a withdrawal fee. That said it is a fixed charge which means that for larger cashouts it’s particularly low. As for withdrawal times, the online casino isn’t giving much information away. All we know is that documents can take up to 5 days to be approved which is why we suggest ensuring that these are correct when submitting them.

The biggest thing that the NitroCasino games lobby has going for it are the sheer number of software companies they collaborate with. The even better news is that players are able to filter by games provider, thus ensuring ease of navigation. The casino games have also be categorized according to type and there are sections for ‘new’ and ‘featured’ titles too.

One look at the games library will tell you that the focus is on slot games. Choose from favourites like NetEnt’s Starburst slot or opt for a Novomatic classic like Book of Ra. Most of the top slot titles are available at Nitro. We did, however, expect there to be a separate section for progressive jackpots. While there are several options, you’ll have to know what you’re looking for because progressive slots aren’t even labelled. Fans may also be disappointed to see that neither Microgaming’s Mega Moolah nor Mega Fortune by NetEnt feature here. One of the best alternatives we can suggest is Wolf Gold slot by Pragmatic Play.

Video Poker is the only other casino game type with a dedicated section. There’s a handful of games to choose from with the majority being by Betsoft. All other titles fall under the table games section with the focus being on roulette, blackjack and baccarat. There are several variations for each but we’d have liked to see some VIP tables thrown into the mix. Considering their age though, we can only expect NitroCasino’s lobby to grow.

For the time being, there is no NitroCasino app available to download. Instead, iOS, Android, Windows and practically all other mobile players have full access to their web app. Playing instantly shouldn’t be an issue as long as you ensure that you have updated your browser beforehand.

The vibrant orange background looks even more striking on smaller screens. But NitroCasino mobile site doesn’t just look the part, it is also extremely functional. Everything has been placed in an easy to access location, starting from the live chat button. It will follow you around as you scroll. The casino games lobby is just as user-friendly, with the same filters available on mobile. What’s more, most of the games are available on mobile. That, of course, includes the complete live casino section.

NitroCasino’s live dealer section is what we’d call the ‘Best of Both Worlds’. They have ensured that they can offer live casino games by the industry leaders, Evolution Gaming. Unlike many others, they have gone one step further and also included some options by Pragmatic Play. While for many, Evolution will always remain the favourite, we like that Nitro is giving players options. One perk to Pragmatic’s live games is that the bet limits show up clearly in the game thumbnails. Players won’t need to access each game to see this information.

The Nitro live casino forms part of the main games lobby which means that it is also possible to filter by provider. Scrolling too far up will however take you back to the rng casino games section, which could get rather confusing. As for the actual games though, there was little we could find fault in. Unlike their virtual table games, there are more than enough live VIP options to choose from. Blackjack Grand VIP is one example that should attract high rollers. And for players who are after something different, most of Evolution’s more versatile options are also available to play.

Unlike the welcome bonus, we were less surprised to see that there is no NitroCasino VIP program. This is because none of their sister sites have adopted this procedure yet. That and the fact that this is a brand-new casino site. Players haven’t had enough time to establish themselves as VIPs. We can however say that NitroCasino is on the right track to making their existing players feel cared for with their daily rewards strategy. Perhaps once the casino gets going, they will eventually look into a more aggressive approach. One thing we are sure of is that things will change as the online casino gets more popular.

In spite of its novelty, NitroCasino customer support team can be contacted 24 hours a day. This is something that we must definitely commend as even some of the more established brands are lacking here. The only downside is that phone support is not currently an option. The online casino provides FAQs, which answer all of the more generic queries. Players have two other options, live chat or email support. Both are efficient but in our experience, the NitroCasino live chat is definitely your go-to for urgent issues.

• Email Support: support@nitrocasino.com
• Live Chat Support: Available 24/7
• Phone Support: N/A
• FAQs: Provided

NitroCasino is not licensed by the UKGC which means that players from the United Kingdom aren’t allowed to join. The MGA license that they hold, does, however, open up the doors to a wide range of other markets. Canada is by far one of their main focal points, with homepages in both English and French, specifically for this market. Being an Interac online casino, is perhaps the cherry on the cake.

Aside from Canadian dollars, Nitro also accepts New Zealand dollars. This alongside the fact that they have an NZ specific homepage leads us to believe that this is another of their feature markets. While they have no country specific payment options in this case, e-wallets like ecoPayz, Neteller and Skrill all support the local currency.

With no mention of a welcome bonus, we didn’t get off to the best of starts in this NitroCasino review. The good news is that it only to delving a little deeper to realise that the online casino fills that gap perfectly. The casino games lobby is impeccable, and promotions are handed out daily. They’re also extremely transparent and if you do have issues then there’s always that 24/7 live chat support to turn to. They may have some areas that still need work but NitroCasino looks promising in their early days.
