The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has added bCasino to Green Feather Online Limited’s gaming services (B2C) gambling license. The site joins sister sites Boo Casino and Galaxyno in the gaming space and adds a focus on players in Canada and the Philippines with familiar local payment processing and bonus offers.

Visitors will find over 2,000 titles including live gaming streams. All casino games can be played in your browser on iOS, Android, tablet, and PC. There are games from nearly 50 studios, developers, and game bundlers including WMS, SG Digital, NextGen, and Blueprint plus many others.

The site runs on Green Feather’s proprietary platform with lightning-fast HTML5 game loads and stable play. Banking and bonus modules are built right into the secure site that operates with a DigiCert-issued SSL certificate (secure socket layer encryption).

The current Welcome Pack includes a match bonus and casino spins, but be sure to see the up-to-the-minute offer above or visit the site for details.

While bCasino may be too young of an operation to have established a reputation, it is operated by the same management as Boo, so we have some history to look at.

We had to go all the way to Trustpilot to find any direct complaints about sister-site Boo aside from one slow-pay that was resolved within about ten days and was laid off on technical problems. If you’ve ever read one-star reviews on TrustPilot, you are probably aware that the vast majority of them are from people who had more than one account, don’t understand how bonuses work, or simply feel they should have won so they have to complain somewhere.

In the negatives, this was 99% of what we found, typical grousing. However, there was one complaint that the representative did not address so it remains undisputed - either because it was overlooked or by design.

A player deposited without a bonus, won, cashed out, and when he was checking on something after requesting a withdrawal he claims to have accessed his account and talked to live chat while connected to a VPN. He stated that was the only time he used one on the site. His payout was denied. Unfortunately, the casino representative did not respond to the complaint so we can’t verify the veracity of the player’s claim.

We didn’t find any particular terms in place that caused a couple of other disputes. However, the time-stamped T&C had been updated several days earlier with a list at the bottom of which items had been updated. One player complained that they bought a “5-pack” of 1 euro scratch tickets and the purchase exceeded max bet allowed, and another had played a Megaways slot that was purportedly not listed on the excluded games. The operator maintained that all specific bonus terms are displayed with a pop-up and that excluded games do not function while a bonus is active.

Green Feather maintains staff in Georgia, Bulgaria, and Israel in addition to their Maltese address. Many of these positions are probably related to their platform which includes payment processing, customer engagement tools for targeted bonusing campaigns, 24/7 support and a dedicated VIP team, marketing and data compliance, and a back-office reporting system.

Software and Games

The browser-based casino suite is optimized for mobile or desktop displays. Since the gaming product runs on the company’s own proprietary platform, operators are able to monitor performance in real time. The fact that they also offer the system to new or existing operators means the player experience is like driving the top car from a premier fleet. It’s tuned to perfection with every working part from the bonusing engine to game delivery working hand in glove.

Geolocation software doesn’t seem to be running on the public-facing front end as we were able to visit the site from several restricted jurisdictions. However, once you register an account - game selection, payment options, and other features may be filtered for your specific region.

The casino lobby offers multiple game categories including “New” and “All”. Click on any icon to access:

• Featured
• New Games
• Bonus Buy
• Video Slots
• Fruity fun
• Classic Slots
• Live Casino
• Table Games
• Other Games (bingo, keno, pachinko, scratch, etc.)
• Tournaments
• Drops & Wins
• All

• Filter (displays each game provider)
• Search (text)

We’ll take a look at a few of these, avoiding replicated titles and types as much as possible, and still give you a taste of what a 2,000+ game online casino has to offer.

Bonus Buy, Drops & Wins, and Filters are good places to start looking for slots, and then we’ll look at animated random number generator card and table games and the Evolution live dealer suite.

Bonus Buy slots

If you live for the bonus rounds and don’t want to spin the statistical average number of times to trigger one, you are in luck with this feature. Whenever you want to trigger the bonus you can simply bet a multiple of your current stake to trigger it automatically.

Some games seem to have been built around the feature but it was most probably added as an afterthought to a few titles already in the process of being created. The mechanic has become so popular that many of your favorite games from the past have been upgraded to include it. 300 Shields (extreme), White Rabbit, and Yak Yeti (roll) are a few of the updated games.

Another exciting type of game you’ll find in this category is the Megaways titles. This is another phenomenally popular mechanic that can be “bolted onto” existing slots. The games present an ever-changing virtual machine offering a new set of reels, reel positions, and ways to win with each spin. Instead of paylines or virtual paylines like a 243 Way game, there could be 33 ways on one spin and up to 117,649 ways to win on the next spin!

Bonus buy note: If you are playing with a bonus be sure Bonus Buy games will not put you over the max bet limit for a single spin. Some operators see a 100x bet bonus buy as betting 100x your stake. We’ll leave that to our readers to decide whether it is a fair practice or not - the important thing is whether it is a term you agree to. If it is not a written term and it is used as a breach, you should be playing somewhere else anyway or you’re likely to find more ‘spirit of the bonus’ BS to contend with before your final disappointment.

Drops & Wins

This is a promotional feature that can be activated by the operator on any Pragmatic Play slot offered in the promotion period. We found over 20 of them here. Click on the category or see the Drops & Wins logo to play.

Basically, across the entire Pragmatic Play network, the company drops about €3,000,000 a year into players' accounts simply for playing their games at various casinos. Look for new prize pools every day, new games in the mix every month, multipliers up to 5,000x your bet given at random, and daily cash prizes. Tournaments can be a big part of the promotions too.

Filter

Clicking on this icon will bring up a host of games as well as links to the libraries of dozens of providers. In addition to the Microgaming section, you’ll also find septic catalogs for some of their Studio Partners. These are studios that create games exclusively for the Microgaming (Quickfire) network. Look for All41, Alchemy Gaming, Half Pixel, Neon Valley, Pulse 8, Stormcraft, Triple Edge, and others.

Some of the studios only have a small handful of titles on the market while others, like All41 Studios, have been more prolific with over a dozen games including Megaways and “NobleWays” titles. In addition to NobelWays (3125 ways to win), some of their other signature game mechanics include Hyper Hold and Hyper Clusters on 6 Tokens of Gold and Alchemy Fortunes, respectively.

RNG Table games

This catalog comprises a mix of old-school RNG card and table games, Evolution “First Person” titles, and Real Deal Studio’s highly polished faux interactive cinematographic RNG games.

Animated RNG

Video poker, Caribbean Stud, blackjack, roulette, and baccarat come in several table limits, rules versions, and game variants from a handful of creators. Be sure to check out Zappit Blackjack and other titles from FELT Gaming.

These games offer players the luxury of betting on multiple hands or simply controlling the pace of the game to their comfort level. Blistering fast roulette on autoplay with preprogrammed bets will suit one player fine, while a leisurely game of single-deck, single-hand blackjack may be more to another’s liking at any given moment.

Evolution First Person RNG

These games are highly realistic digital representations of their casino floor counterparts like blackjack, roulette, and the Dream Catcher money wheel game. Some of them have a speed slider to control the speed, and all of them present a true-to-life experience along with the confidence of a certified random number generator outcome.

If you are wondering why the world leader in live casino gaming also provides RNG games, the answer goes beyond trying to please all players. Each game also has a “Go Live” button that will take you to a live-streaming version of the game with a live dealer. It’s a nice launch pad.

Lightning Roulette in either version offers players a chance to win 50x to 500x multipliers on a straight bet when lightning strikes the table.

First Person Blackjack offers all of the standard bets plus side bets like Perfect Pairs and 21+3.

Real Dealer Studios games

Real Deal Roulette with Caroline, Holly, or Sarati is all the same game with different dealers.
A massive library of live clips with highly polished transitions is stitched together seamlessly in response to virtual and real-world events such as random number generator results, player wins and losses, streaks, and other minutia related to playing a game of roulette.

The result is a virtual game that looks and feels like a real live interactive stream - to a great degree. The experience is fluid with all of the interactive betting options you are familiar with when playing animated table games.

Live casino games

Pragmatic Play and Evolution present a stunning array of live games in every bet range for real money play.

Pragmatic Play acquired Novomatic’s Extreme Live Gaming and gave it a shot in the arm back in the summer of 2018. While Evolution is still the world leader in native language tables, the Pragmatic studios also provide players in Russia, Turkey, and Italy with a one on one experience in their native tongue. Evolution's legendary Arabic roulette with high table limits is also on tap. Look for the Game Shows suite for added fun and real money.

Get in on a social game of Blackjack Party or Side Bet City, chat with the dealer with sports in the room while you cut for a high card with Football Studio, or play some Super Sic Bo for a chance to win 1,000x your bet.

Almost anything you want to play, you’ll find in the live lobby here.

Bonuses and Promotions

Look for a welcome bonus package as well as extra spins, tournaments, instant cash, daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal promotions.

Try one of the preferred payment methods (currently MuchBetter) for even more match funds.

The welcome package terms were recently updated so be sure to check them above or visit the site for any up-to-the-minute changes. While the welcome offer seems generous on the surface, a closer look reveals that it might be best suited to the small depositor only.

The less than attractive new terms include 40x wagering on bonus plus deposit and a max cashout of €1,000. Those terms are pretty strict for a 100% match up to €500 with €4 max bets and a good-sized list of restricted games. It becomes even less attractive for the second installment which is not as high of a match but holds the same rollover requirements. 

Again, please check the current offer for interest and confirm the playthrough and any max cashout conditions in the bonus terms. Neteller, Skrill, and ecoPayz deposits are not eligible for bonus funds.

Banking and Customer Service

All play is in EUR, so any other currency will be converted upon deposit and again on cashout. Banking options include Mastercard, Trustly, Giropay, Neteller, Skrill, and ecoPayz. More or fewer options may appear in the cashier depending on where you are at when you log in.

Deposits are credited instantly and withdrawals can remain pending for 72 hours. Pending withdrawals can be canceled from within the cashier.

Live chat, email, and a physical mailing address are provided. There is also a fairly comprehensive FAQ page. Positive player reviews often mention customer service.

Pitfalls

• The brand has been associated with complaints in the past
• Wagering requirement is too high, max cashout is too low (40xd+b, €1k)
• Document verification can include a request for bank statements

The Final Word

bCasino offers a tremendous number of high-quality games. The site is delivered using a state-of-the-art software platform developed by the casino operator.

The variety of enhanced slot mechanics, new-age RNG faux-live table games, and live dealer streams mean there should be something for everyone. The development studios included in the slots suite represent some of the creme de la creme of today’s game labs.

On one hand, it’s tempting to lay off the vast majority of negative reviews on under-experienced players and sore losers - on the other hand there is a significant volume of them, the replies are always rote, and an important accusation about denying winnings on the letter of the law (VPN use for chat only after cashing out) rather than a fair reading do give pause.

This slight cloud along with the welcome bonus having a max cashout fixed in stone rather than based on the size of a cash deposit leads us to not give a full thumbs up to high rollers who use bonuses.

The lack of truly meaningful responses on Trustpilot and the lack of complaints found at interactive player advocate sites - that would give us deeper insight into overall fairness - leaves this reviewer with a neutral conclusion and a reliance on the facts as presented.
