Betandyou Casino is an online gaming site most frequently visited by players in Asia. The site launched in 2019. It’s owned by the Cypriot company, Dranap Ltd and operated by Pelican Entertainment B.V. with registered offices in Curacao. The company holds the Antillephone sub-license № 8048/JAZ2020-060.

In addition to live dealer games and nearly 5,000 other online casino gambling titles, the site maintains a huge sportsbook with predictive lines and in-play betting as well as bingo, keno, and lotto games along with hundreds of novelty games and a nice collection of 3D virtual sports games.

Sister-sites by the management team include the well-known MELbet as well as Astekbet by ownership and management.

Unlike some sites on the same platform that primarily offer sports betting bonuses, this site has plenty of casino incentives ranging from the welcome package cashback, and provider-specific bonus engines, drawings, and jackpot entries.

Betandyou maintains management representatives on some of the biggest player advocate forums in the world and we don’t find any complaints or disputes on them. We do find two issues raised on complaint boards regarding document verification but both were resolved and closed in due course with the players being verified and paid.

It’s not at all unusual to find identity documents or source of funds issues with operators who accept players from such a wide variety of regulated and non-regulated jurisdictions. A quick look at the long list of languages available here along with the shortlist of excluded countries paints the picture well. Players who are confident in the veracity of their identity documents and who use any of the nearly 40 cryptocurrencies available for transactions here should not find any undue friction when it comes time to cash out winnings.

Many payment methods could be region-specific, but Bitcoin and alt-coins are universal. Options include eWallets, payment systems, bank transfers, and nearly every known and commonly traded form of cryptocurrency. All deposits and withdrawals are service-charge-free on the operator’s end with most being processed within 15 minutes after any pending time. Extremely low minimum deposits and withdrawals make it easy to play just a little if that’s all you want to do.

None of the general terms or special bonus terms and conditions are overly complicated, so a simple reading of bonus terms should be enough for most players to keep from running afoul. We’ll examine those terms in more detail a little further into this review. In the meantime, we’ll take a look at the website itself, how to use it efficiently to find your favorite gambling games, and we’ll look at some of the variety of games offered. Of course, we won’t try to reveal 5,000 titles or even every game provider, but we’ll show the range and go into some detail on a few elements.

Wrapping that up, we’ll take a detailed look at the bonus terms including max bets allowed, the wagering requirements, games that can shorten the time it takes to complete wagering, and which currencies or cryptocurrencies not to use if you want extra spins, and how long it should take to be paid once you submit a cashout request.

By the time we get to that point, we should have discovered any pitfalls or drawbacks to look out for and finally render out a synopsis of what we learn in a final word or two.

Software and Games

The full site and complete range of betting options are available while using any modern web browser with an internet connection. Slots and other games play right on your desktop, laptop, or any handheld device. Mobile apps for iOS and Android devices can also be accessed directly from the website for those who prefer a dedicated application.

The main menu can be accessed from anywhere on the site by clicking the logo in the upper left corner. From there you will see a list of links along the header of the page to choose the type of gambling you want to do today. The following options are presented:

• Sports 
• In-Play
• Promo
• Slots
• Live
• Games (cards, dice, etc.)
• TV Games
• Poker
• More (scratch cards, virtual sports, etc.)

Slots

Hovering over the Slots link will generate clickable logos for all of the more than 100 game providers. Clicking one will bring up a landing page populated only by slots from that creator. Simply clicking on the word, Slots, will bring up a new page too. This will give you a starting point but following nearly any cue will open new lobby pages. We’ll look at how the pages are formatted as all gaming pages are very similar.

On the left, all of the game categories are listed and below them, you will find the Providers section. The two sections work together in some combinations to provide a valuable filtering tool that can help players navigate the thousands of games on offer.

Developers monitor and manage the site extensively adding new games, new providers, and even new categories based on the time of year, user interactions, or data gathered and processed to provide a better player experience. For instance, I visited the site several days ago and a certain special category was not available - today “Winter Wonderland” appears and will likely be replaced periodically to keep things fun, fresh, and interesting.

As well, at least by my memory of a recent visit, the New games category has been updated with about half a dozen titles that didn’t exist a few days ago. The providers list also has game developers I certainly didn’t notice in the past - if they were on the page at all, including Hölle Games, 5Men, and Aiwin Games.

How the filters work

There’s only one important interface rule to remember - you can choose one category and as many providers as you would like to. However, only one category can be selected at one time. In order to start over, simply click “clear filter”.

Let's look at the singular categories…

• All
• New
• Popular
• "Book of... Slots
• 3D Slots
• Buy Bonus
• Cascade
• Cluster
• Drops & Wins
• Hold And Win
• Jackpot Games
• Megaways
• [Winter Wonderland]

As a way to assist navigation, the following options are also mixed in, even on the slots page

• Other
• Poker
• Roulette
• Keno
• Baccarat
• Bingo
• Blackjack

Cascade

We chose the “cascade” category on a whim and the page loaded quickly with dozens of familiar and unfamiliar titles. Following the game icons was “Show More”, which continued to further fill the page with each click.

With Cascade selected we chose the provider, Slot Factory which reduced the selection to four titles: Lady Sexy Love, Bikini Volleyball, Fruity Mega, Split Slots, and Supernova Crush.

Clearing the Filter and reselecting Slot Factory brought up about 150 titles, indicating that this provider has been very prolific in generating new games since we first reviewed the game maker in 2019 and the portfolio contained only about two dozen titles. Slot Factory was borne of Intouch Games of Great Britain and the firm has or had offices or studios in Taiwan - which could explain the Asian flavor of many of their titles like Monkey Hero, Legend of the Moon, and Thai Luck - but their themes run the gamut to include nearly every theme, subject, and narrative.

I gave Will of the Gods a few quick spins in free mode as I’d never played the game before and I was super impressed. It lays out for mobile in landscape mode but plays great on full-screen desktops. The animations, enhancements, and user interface were absolutely a joy to behold. I loved it when Zeus flew onto the screen to lock two reels and command the other three to respin. I’ll definitely revisit this game!

However, I didn’t stay long because Spinomenal’s  Snegurochka II caught my eye on the right side of the screen. I’m a sucker for Spinomenal games and really wanted to see what they had done with this title.

I can’t say I was disappointed, although I sort of expected a massive upgrade in the art - however, while it wasn’t their most brilliant rendition it was certainly pleasing to the eye. Some of their games are brilliant for visuals, others are brilliant for their maths, and this one didn’t happen to check both boxes. In fact, it missed my mark on both counts. 

With 100 paylines, the only unique thing about this slot was the high volatility wins of three or four wild symbols when followed by a scatter symbol. I will admit that filling the entire screen with the game gave it inviting warmth, but it simply didn’t have enough of the Spinomenal brilliance that I’ve come to expect from their games.

Live games

With nearly 20 different live-streaming game providers, this is one of the richest suites of tables and wheels I have seen.

The categories change when you enter this part of the site and the provider list is also updated. Players do not need to sift and sort irrelevancies.

Pragmatic Play Live games dominate the category showing just how much the provider has focused on live gaming since acquiring the former NOVOMATIC studios.

While there is no way to sort for native language tables, it’s easy enough to choose a game type like roulette and go from there.  Russian, Italian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Cumbia, Fiesta, and Indian Roulette were all on offer.

Hindi Style games can also be chosen from the category menu which will bring up several versions of Teen Patti, Andar Bahar, 32 Cards, and Cricket War - which is simply a card-cutting game against a live dealer in a sports environment. The cricket field is the dealer’s table, he’s dressed in a cricket uniform and the overall environment should be welcoming to cricket fans. Use the roads and live statistics if you believe past results influence the future.

Live Drops and Wins

Since one of the live game providers is Pragmatic Play, Live Drops & Win are available. This means you stand a chance to win free bets, bonus funds, and even see cash fall straight into your account simply by playing the games found in this category - Pragmatic drops a prize, and you can win! 

The in-game bonus engine delivers €1,000,000 monthly in Weekly Tournaments and Daily Prize Drops across table games and slots. In November 2021, the provider added  Mega Sic Bo, Andar Bahar, and Sweet Bonanza Candyland to the campaign.

These prizes are provided by Pragmatic Play and don’t affect the RTP or other value of any game, they simply augment your chances of winning.

Games including RNG cards and tables

Visitors will find this option along the top of the page in the horizontal text-link menu. As such the suite doesn’t include the same filtering and sorting tools as slots and live game players enjoy. It’s still easy enough to find what you want whether you use the text search box, choose a category such as cards, slots, dice, lotteries, etc., or simply decide to sort ascending or descending by popularity or alphabetically.

This section is actually a world unto itself with most titles counting 2x against wagering requirements, the ability to pick your own games for extra weekly cashback, unique bonuses, weekly regards, a lucky wheel, "quest of the day" challenges, and bingo.

Card games include blackjack switch, Turkish Rummy, Indian Poker, Baccarat, and several more.

Slots are fairly limited in this section and are most likely simply animated fixed odds games but look for titles like Grand Theft Auto, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and The Walking Dead.

Dice games include tavern favorites like under and over 7, Crown and Anchor, and Five Dice Poker along with Yahtzee and a few others. 

Lottery games are mostly numbers games like scratch cards, wheels of wealth, and picking games. You’ll find a lot of the same types of games in the “others” category as well. 

The final category is called “Climb to Victory” and most likely consists of accumulator games. However I wasn’t familiar with any of the titles and didn’t look at the paytables of games like Dragon’s Gold, Apple of Fortune, Battle City, or Guess Which Hand.

Bonuses and Promotions

This section could fill a book because it is a highly incentivized site with dozens and dozens of ongoing offers in several different genres of bonusing. In fact, there are so many offers that it might take a minute or two to find the casino welcome package, but alas it is found as a “Welcome Pack”. We’ll keep our exam simple and take a closer look at the welcome package or a single welcome bonus - go over the terms with a fine-toothed comb - and give you our take on any of the ins and outs that attract or repel us.

To explore special incentives from individual game providers such as Red Tiger, Wazdan, Mancala, Playson, Habanero, Pragmatic Play, and Spinomenal, please visit the promotions pages. When we visited there were several million euros of extra prizes offered by those providers alone.

When we visited, the welcome package comprised four deposit bonuses - each with extra spins.

Note: Free spins will not be credited to users with accounts in OMR, BHD, QTUM, KWD, mBT, ZEC, XMR, LTC, DASH, ETH, XAU.

Please see above (top of page) for the most up-to-date offer, but we’ll delve into one here for the sake of illustration - a first deposit match of 100% up to €300 and the attendant 30 casino spins.

• Claim bonuses prior to depositing
• Players have 7 days to meet wagering requirements of 35x the bonus 
• Max bet with an active bonus is €5
• Most titles in the Games section count 2x so a €5 bet will be counted as a €10 bet in terms of meeting wagering. About a dozen games are not included in the special weighting such as blackjack and roulette.
• Bets on all versions of Roulette, Baccarat, Blackjack, Poker, and slots from the "Others" section do not count toward the wagering requirement.

All bonus types are disabled for cryptocurrency deposits. 

Once wagering requirements have been met, only the amount of the bonus given will be transferred into the player’s main account.

It took some digging through the general T&C to find any specific or additional terms for the free spins aside from the fact they will only be credited to accounts with a confirmed (activated) phone. Free spin winnings have no wagering requirements and are not subject to any max cashout provisions.

Banking and Customer Service

The payments pages update dynamically based on your IP address. This allows the site to only display the relevant patent methods for your area. For instance, Jeton is available in Brazil, but not in Malaysia. The geolocation can be overridden by selecting a country from the dropdown menu on the payments page.

Generally, different methods are segmented into categories such as eWallets, payment systems, bank transfers, and cryptocurrencies. 

Minimum deposits and withdrawals for most methods are set at about 1.50 EUR/USD or currency equivalent. No max withdrawal amounts are listed. The T&C states that payments are processed 24/7 and make no mention of pending times. Nearly all methods on the payouts page are listed as 15 minutes and all are free of service charges. Some bank transfers may take longer (e.g. 15-60 minutes for a withdrawal to a Malaysian bank) and different cryptos have different processing times on the blockchain, so it could be an additional 30 minutes or so for many BTC withdrawals.

Customer care

Consultants are usually available via the “Ask a Question” pop-out. Multiple specific issue email addresses are provided, and an online contact form is also available. Players in some areas may have toll-free telephone numbers provided on the contact page as well. 

Responsible gambling information is found at the end of the T&C. There are no onboard tools for limiting sessions or activity, however self-exclusion for specific periods of time is available with help from a representative. Betting Limits can be activated via email and can be changed at any time but will not increase for another 24 hours. Full self-exclusion can be revoked upon request at the discretion of the management.

Pitfalls

• Wins over €10,000 are considered Big Wins and must be approved by their ‘partner’.
• No bonuses allowed for Crypto deposits
• No debit/credit card processing
• No max withdrawal limits listed
• Weak responsible gambling tools
• Weak licensing jurisdiction with few player protections

The Final Word

Betandyou Casino is a lumbering giant of a betting site with about 5,000 random number generator (RNG) and live dealer games. While it appears to be heavily trafficked by players from all around the world including the CIS states, many players in the live games and other areas where you see your peers are from further east, guessing by some of the nicknames.

While most trusted Asian online casinos are hosted in the Philippines, players from the country are not allowed to play at them, so they come to places like this that are licensed offshore and still provide familiar currency, payment gateway, and language options.

Players in Vietnam, Malaysia, or Indonesia have different challenges, but don’t find all of the options available here at any First Cayagun or Pagcor POGO website. However, players in the USA, the United Kingdom, Cyprus, the Netherlands, etc., are not invited to register or play here.

The game selection speaks for itself. I like the fact I find some of my favorite, yet-to-be-famous game makers here, some that are new to me and whet my appetite for exploration, as well as time-honored favorites and industry giants.

My only problem with the bonus scheme here is that I am a crypto player and no form of cryptocurrency is eligible for a bonus - I’m sure they have their reasons, but it’s too bad. Although the max bet is a bit low at 5 euros, it is a reasonable enough threshold considering the most you can get with a 100% match is 300 euros in bonus funds (€600/5= 120).

Although I’m not familiar with the games or who the game suppliers might be in the Games section, I do like the fact that all but a dozen of those games reduce wagering requirements by 50%, effectively making the 35xb into 17.5xb or 8.75xd+b. Unless the games have RTP below 50% or unless 90% of the theoretical return to player percentage is locked up in a single “jackpot” prize on each game, there’s no reason to think that is not a beatable bonus.

No max cashout limit and the fact the maximum bet limit is removed as soon as bonus funds are converted make it a tempting target for 120 pulls at €5 each and reassess at that point. Your mileage may vary.

The balance of the bonus factory here is unexplored by me - they are plentiful, and each one clearly spells out the terms. And then there’s the other world of cashback and bonus offers in the “Games” section for good measure.
