Say Drakaris out loud, and it is almost impossible not to think of Dracarys, the famous High Valyrian command associated with dragonfire in Game of Thrones. The casino does not advertise an official connection with the series, so do not expect Daenerys to appear in live chat and solve your withdrawal problem. Still, the resemblance is difficult to miss.

Drakaris clearly understands what comes to mind when people hear this name. So, it is no surprise that dragons are everywhere, guarding treasure, appearing throughout promotional features and lending their names to loyalty ranks, bonuses and reward wheels. Even the casino describes itself as a place where Drakaris guard valuable treasures.

And you know what? We really like this. In a sea of undefined and bland casino designs, this is finally something we will not forget two seconds after leaving the website.

Behind the whole story of fire and fantasy, what is Drakaris really? It is a relatively new casino and sportsbook adapted to the needs of eligible Canadian and Italian players. The website is available in Canadian English, Canadian French and Italian, with payment methods, promotions and available games adjusted to the player’s location.

As for mobile players, Drakaris works directly through mobile browsers and does not offer a dedicated casino app. Since app versions are usually expected to provide a better experience than mobile browsers, we tested the casino on smaller devices to see whether it really offers stress-free mobile navigation.

Our experience was positive. Pages and game controls are adapted for touchscreens, games load quickly, and mobile players have access to the casino’s complete content.

What is interesting, however, is that Drakaris can be downloaded as a desktop app. So, if you want to shorten your route to the casino by a few clicks, you have that option too.

Software and Games

The first thing you notice when you land at Drakaris Casino on a dragon’s wings is that the homepage is packed with games. Players can search the massive library of several thousand titles by game name, browse individual providers, or use categories such as Top Games, New Games, Bonus Friendly, Arcade Games, Crash Games, Live Casino and Megaways.

Although Drakaris builds its story around magic, legends, miracles and everything that sits on the edge of possibility, it could not create such a large game library on its own. Many popular providers helped build this kingdom of slots, live casino titles, table games and crash games, including NetEnt, Nolimit City, Endorphina, Playson, Betsoft, Big Time Gaming, Red Tiger, Spribe and many other studios.

As for slots, they take up the largest part of the gaming catalogue. The selection covers everything a slot enthusiast could ask for, from classic fruit machines, Megaways and Hold and Win titles to jackpot games for those hoping that one click could change their life. Cluster-pay games are also available, along with contemporary slots featuring more advanced mechanics.

There is also a fairly solid collection of Bonus Buy games. However, when it comes to titles like these, here is a little heads-up: you need to be careful. Paying to enter a feature directly can reduce your balance much faster than regular spins. Yes, you get the bonus round immediately, but that does not mean a big win will immediately follow.

What is great about the slot section is that most games can be tested in demo mode. This allows you to become familiar with the game, its rules, volatility and bonus mechanics before using your own money. Some titles also display details such as RTP and volatility, both of which can play a major role when choosing a slot.

Some of the featured slots include:

• Gates of Olympus Super Scatter
• Sweet Bonanza 2500
• The Dog House Megaways 1000
• Hell Hot 100
• Big Wild Buffalo 2
• Sugar Rush 1000

Popular live casino games include:

• Crazy Time
• Sweet Bonanza CandyLand
• Money Time
• Lightning Roulette
• Live Blackjack
• Live Baccarat

Drakaris completes its casino selection with crash games, instant-win releases, virtual games and RNG table titles. Some examples include:

• Chicken Road 2.0
• Aviator
• Plinko
• Mines
• JetX
• Penalty Shoot Out

Bonuses and Promotions

Newly registered players can claim a very generous welcome package. In fact, it is not just one offer, as the package is spread across several deposits. At the time of writing, it included bonus funds and extra spins. There was also a separate offer created for highrollers who plan to begin their gambling journey at Drakaris with their wallets wide open.

As for detailed information about the welcome package and all other bonuses, we will have to leave out the exact figures. Promotional details change, so what applies today may already be outdated tomorrow. There is also the fact that, not only at Drakaris but at many other casinos, the information displayed on the homepage does not always completely match the detailed bonus conditions.

What are we trying to say? Open the terms before activating anything.

What we can tell you is that, after using the welcome package, players still have access to a bunch of promotional goodies, including more extra spins and cash rewards.

In the Bonus Terms and Conditions, we also found several additional promotional activities. These include the Dragon Hoard Chest, a lucky loot box with a random reward that may contain extra spins or a cash bonus. Like many other rewards at this casino, it must be activated with a bonus code.

There is also the Wheel of Drakaris, a Wheel of Fortune-style feature that provides random rewards, as well as the Ash & Gold Scratch promotion, which is available once a week. To activate each of these bonuses, players need to make a qualifying deposit and enter the required promotional code.

Last but definitely not least, especially for competitive players, we have casino tournaments. Players compete against others, collect points and move up the leaderboard by doing what they enjoy most: playing casino games. Then, all that is left is to hope for the best. Strategy can matter, but when slots are involved, there is always an element of luck too.

And let us close this bonus section with one very positive detail. Players are allowed to cancel an unwanted bonus without losing their own deposited funds. This option is worth remembering if you accept an offer and later realize that its conditions do not suit the way you play.

Loyalty Club

Dragons may guard their treasure, but Drakaris is prepared to share some of it with active members through a ten-level loyalty club.

The journey begins without a formal rank and then continues through Bronze Ember, Silver Scale, Golden Flame, Platinum Hoard, Ruby Dragon, Sapphire Wyrm, Obsidian Drake, Imperial Dragon and, finally, Drakaris Royalty. If you wanted a casino that takes its naming theme seriously, you have certainly found one.

Players earn status points through qualifying real-money activity. Slots generate progress more quickly than many other categories, including roulette, card games, crash titles and lotteries. This gives regular slot players a clear advantage when climbing through the loyalty system.

Rewards improve as the account moves upward. Depending on the level, members may receive extra spins, level-up bonuses, daily cashback and access to special weekly offers. Promotional wagering conditions also become less demanding at higher ranks.

Banking and Customer Support

Have you moved from traditional fiat currencies to digital ones after understanding their pros and cons? You are welcome here. Crypto users can choose from several coins, so those who prefer wallet-based transactions will find plenty of options.

Still, here is a heads-up. Crypto may be simple, fast and offer a high level of privacy, but that does not mean you cannot make a mistake. Sending funds through the wrong blockchain network or to an incorrect address can result in a permanent loss, so every detail should be checked before confirming a transfer. You did not come here to lose money, right?

As for fiat payments, the available options may include bank cards, e-wallets, bank transfers and local online banking methods. The exact selection depends on the player’s location and is displayed in the cashier.

All deposits must come from a payment method registered in the player’s own name. Before processing a withdrawal, Drakaris may request identity documents, proof of address and confirmation that the selected payment method belongs to the account holder. Larger payouts may also be divided into several installments if they exceed the limit of the chosen payment option.

Drakaris aims to process approved withdrawal requests within a few days, but the final waiting time depends on the payment method, verification status and the player’s bank. Bank transfers may take several business days and can include intermediary bank charges, and additional fees may be applied by the player’s own payment provider.

What about customer support?

The casino promotes round-the-clock customer service through live chat and email. There is also a Help and FAQ section that provides answers to common questions. No public telephone support option is prominently advertised.

Pitfalls

• The bonus abuse policy is quite broad. Reducing stakes after a large win, switching to lower-volatility games, delaying game rounds or using strategies mainly to gain a promotional advantage may result in bonuses and winnings being cancelled.
• Drakaris retains the final authority to decide whether a player has broken its rules and may suspend or permanently close an account without prior notice or explanation.
• No telephone customer support is available.

The Final Word

So, is Drakaris sitting on a respectable pile of casino treasure? We would say yes. There are several reasons to give it a closer look.

So, if you decide to become part of Drakaris, the good news is that registration does not require fluent High Valyrian or proof of Targaryen ancestry.

The whole process is very simple. In the first part of the registration form, you need to enter your email address, create a password, select the country you are registering from and choose your preferred currency.

The second and final step asks for your first and last name, date of birth, city and address. A future birthday bonus, perhaps? Now we are rubbing our hands.

You can then choose whether to tick the box asking if you want to receive promotional offers, confirm that you are over 18 and accept the Terms and Conditions. And yes, you should really read them.

That is more or less it. If even this sounds too complicated, there is a faster route. You can sign up through your Twitter, Facebook or Google account and complete the registration in only a few clicks.

Sportsbook Review

What was once completely separate has lately been merging into one complete casino and sports betting experience. More and more online casinos are adding a sportsbook to their offer, but not by simply throwing in three major sports and calling it a day. We are talking about a large, serious and attention-worthy part of the entire platform.

And Drakaris is one of them.

Besides major sports such as football, tennis, volleyball and boxing, the sportsbook also includes smaller categories like darts, rugby and snooker. So, players who like to look beyond the world’s biggest and most popular competitions will have something to work with too.

There is also plenty of flexibility when it comes to betting types. You can place bets before the match or jump in once the action has already started. Available markets include match winners, handicaps, totals, correct scores and accumulators, with odds updated as the match develops.

And as sports betting continues to grow, a few more interesting options have entered the picture. We are talking about esports and virtual competitions. Once you have gone through all the big tournaments and the traditional sports calendar becomes a little quiet, esports and virtual events are there to fill the gap. Apparently, the betting slip never really needs a day off.

All of this sounds good, but perhaps you need a little extra boost. In that case, take a look at the sportsbook promotions. Drakaris offers welcome packages and regular bonuses, and players who want to understand how these types of offers usually work can find more details in this useful overview. Together, these promotions turn the whole sports betting story up another notch.
