Goodman Casino is an online gambling site launched by industry veteran, Dama N.V., in 2021. The site processes deposits, wagers, and payouts in local currencies as well as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. 

The licensing jurisdiction of Curacao allows bitcoin gambling so the site is licensed under and regulated by Antillephone N.V. (license no. 8048/JAZ2020-013) pursuant to laws of the Curacao (Netherland Antilles) government. Payment processing is handled by a wholly-owned subsidiary registered in Cyprus,  Friolion Limited.

Running on the SOFTSWISS platform, the site offers nearly 4,000 individual games to choose from including live dealer streams, RNG tables and card games, and a nearly uncountable number of slots with updates provided almost daily.

Native language versions of the website are provided in German, English, and Norwegian but, of course, players in Denmark and Ireland, as well as Oceania and Canada as well as many other countries are welcome too.

You won’t need to or be able to download a desktop client or mobile app because all of the games are delivered for instant play in your mobile or desktop browser. Secure banking and access to bonuses, account balances, and everything else you need are accessible from the encrypted lobby software.

A variety of payment methods are accepted and live chat is available 24 hours a day. Credit and debit cards, eWallets, Bitcoin et al, bank transfers, and locally popular methods such as Interac in Canada, Neosurf, ecoPayz, vouchers, bank wires, and other methods are found in the cashier.

The welcome bonus is huge for Bitcoin depositors and industry-standard generous for all other depositors. Your first three deposits are currently eligible for enhancement. Also look for reloads, days-of-the-week incentives, and special incentives like Drops and Wins to play certain games for daily and weekly prizes.

It can be difficult to track the reputation of some SoftSwiss casinos because many of them are white labels (a blank slate that a promoter puts their brand on). Adding to that is that there are often “sub-groups” as well as ownership transfers among the label owners. Further confusing the issue is rebranding or restructuring from names such as Direx. N.V. and it can be hard to know just who is behind any given site.

You can also simply scan the information following the headings, examine the “pitfalls'' we identify, if any, and then read the conclusion. Alternatively, you could take the word of several usually reliable review sites that give the operators anywhere from very good to excellent reputation ratings and play now, or read a little more to find out what other sites may be saying about them. 

We’ll do our due diligence for you by doing deep research before making any recommendations. In our conclusion, we’ll examine a few of their sister sites and use them as a bellwether for players who appreciate a thorough examination that addresses the positives as well as any potential negatives we may find.

As we progress here, we’ll cover the software and games as well as take a brief look at new ways to play. We’ll take a closer look at the bonuses and try to help you determine what value, if any, they might hold for you as a player - a lot of that will depend on your style of play as much as the actual offers.

We’ll take a look at payment methods and terms, cash-out amounts, timing, etc., and we’ll provide a brief overview of customer service. Then we’ll compile a bulleted list of any pitfalls or drawbacks you might run into. In the final words, we’ll take a deep dive into the reputation of other DAMA N.V. gambling sites and sum up all the information fit to print about Goodman Casino.

Software and Games

The secure website opens for players in any web browser with a connection to the internet. If players in your region are not accepted, you should be shown a page telling you that. The use of a VPN or other masking technology is not permitted.

The software will read your browser information including IP address. This allows them to present the site in the most common language in your area, block the website in some jurisdictions, and provide options tailored for players in your community. However, keep in mind that it is still your responsibility to provide true and verifiable information when you register and to examine the terms and conditions - some of these can apply to certain countries only -usually regarding bonuses. 

Specialized information may also include payment methods available to you. If you don’t deposit with cryptocurrency, please be sure you check for a convenient and familiar withdrawal method before depositing. We’ll cover many of those options in a later section, but it’s your money and you’ll want to collect it as easily as possible when you win.

Navigation is straightforward and totally uncomplicated with direct paths to everything you want to do from selecting a bonus and depositing to reading the terms or finding a particular type of game or all games from a certain provider.

Speaking of providers, the list of labs, studios, and aggregators here is truly phenomenal with the number of game brands well over 70 and including everything from Playtech, Elk Studios, and Arcadem to Blueprint, Neon Valley, and Felix for slots and table games along with over half a dozen live dealer studios and streams. You’ll find a complete list elsewhere on this page. Look for the “Gaming Platform” section to see them all!

Slots

Well, where to start?

Actually, once we start the question becomes, “where to stop?”

Maybe the best thing to do with such a huge library of games is to invite readers to visit the site and explore. Almost all of the games are available in demo mode. You don’t need to register an account or log in to do a little window shopping and you won’t win real money in demo mode to try the games, but you won’t lose any either.

We can tell you a little bit about the way the site is structured, as in, what categories you’ll find here. The main categories include:

• Slots
• Live
• Table games
• Special

Under each of those categories, you’ll find several more options to refine your search for the perfect game. For instance, under slots, you can drill down to:

• Popular (always changing)
• New (always changing)
• Jackpots (more on these in a moment)
• Bitcoin Games (these are normal games with BTC wagering)
• Megaways (up to 117,649 ways to win)
• Drops and wins (play for random prizes)
• Video poker (they had to put them somewhere!)

Jackpots

While we didn’t notice any of the life-changing pooled network progressives from NetEnt in here, we did find some local progressives as well as Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. It’s always nice to see that one because you don’t have to worry about any withdrawal limits if you win the jackpot - Microgaming will pay you directly!

The rest of the category is chock full of titles from Red Tiger, EGT, Playson, Play’n GO, Yggdrasil, Quickspin, Betsoft, and many other providers. Look for titles like Fugaso Airlines with Day 2 Day jackpots if you are looking for a decent prize that doesn’t resemble a lottery win - or...

ReelPlay’s Giza Infinity Reels if you are looking for the possibility of a winning streak that just won’t quit on a lucky day.

Megaways

There’s a good selection of games here, but far from all of the available titles in the online universe. Look for the thrill of Big Time Gaming’s Megaways engine on games from iSoftBet, NetEnt, Red Tiger, and Pragmatic Play. With the number of Megaways titles growing exponentially, don’t be surprised if they change up the selection or simply add to it in the future. Currently, there are about 30 games in this section - that’s plenty for most people, but it may not contain your favorites.

Table games

There’s a good enough selection of RNG table games here that most serious players should be able to find just the right pay tables and rule sets to meet their favorite strategies. You’ll also find Onetouch games (perfect for mobile) and a few live dealer games - just in case that’s what you were looking for anyway, I guess.

BGaming, (the Softswiss in-house game brand) has some good random number generator games here, like Hi-Lo Switch with limits from 1-100.00 per hand. We expected to see a Provable Fair widget embedded in the game but might have missed it. There is also a section for Bitcoin games, and maybe it appears when opened from there.

There’s a little bit of something for everybody in this section including at least five versions of Sic Bo. 

Note: If the Nucleus table games remind you of the BetSoft table games, only a different color, there’s a good reason for that. They are the same games behind the curtain. You can learn more about that by reading our Nucleus review.

Special mentions go to Onetouch Russian Poker as well as EvoPlay’s Roll to Luck, and Teen Patti. The only personal disappointment we found was a lack of FELT games in this section, but no offering will be perfect and include every person’s favorites, I guess.

Special

Look for bingo, keno, Bitcoin games, and mini-games here. A new genre that isn’t quite “mini-games” but employs many of their attributes, Spribe’s “turbo games”. They all have high RTP (theoretical return to player percentage), and they play as fast and furious as you’d like them to. These games do have a Provable Fair widget, and once you open one game, you can explore any other title from within by clicking the colorful dot menu in the upper left corner.

Aviator is a game of guts. Please, be careful, set a budget before you go in. We insist, really. Also, it’s a good idea to have a cash-out target so you can simply take the money and run, even if it only took a minute to make it.

Live dealers

If you are looking for a live dealer lobby that has it all, this might be the place for you! With an almost ridiculous amount of providers, game types, and actual tables - from every kind of studio and on casino floors - this is a very rich offering of games.

Evolution does very well in providing native language tables and dealers while Ezugi and a few others provide regionally favorite games. Playtech mixes the ambiance of their augmented reality atmosphere with native tongue games in several languages as well.

Looking for Flemish roulette? Found it. Fushi baccarat in Mandarin? No problem. Deutsches roulette? Step right up.

If you don’t have much experience with live dealer gaming but feel comfortable on animated digital games, consider Evolution’s First Person series. You can get comfortable playing anything from craps to lotto and if you ever get the urge, just click GO LIVE to be transported to a real dealer version of the game.

“Real Dealer” or rather, RealDealer is a producer and provider that bridges the gap in another way. Imagine the hundreds of “unique” moments that happen in a roulette game. When one spin and stop is removed from the continuum of time, there’s not really that much unique about it, is there? Now imagine having a team of professional dealers “act out” everything that can occur. 

Marry that studio production with computer technology that flawlessly places just the right clips in order to illustrate your game - which was actually played via a random number generator and you have the best of both worlds.

“Using top-quality interactive video and a bit of moviemaking magic, Real Dealer Studios brings the human touch to RNG-based games in a way never before imagined.”

Bonuses and Promotions

Please keep in mind that anything written is for illustrative purposes and true as of review time. You can see today’s offers as well as basic terms on this page and visit the site for up-to-the-minute offers and any changes in conditions...When we visited, we found a three-part welcome package followed by two other lesser percentage matches for higher amounts. 

All three offers included extra spins with their own terms and conditions attached.

There are also reloads, extra spins with deposits as well as cash, and bonus bucks along with other prizes possible when playing selected games throughout the month.

Let’s look at the welcome offer, and the terms for the first deposit bonus, shall we?

If you want more than EUR 100 / USD 100 in bonus funds you will need to deposit using Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency. While the wagering requirements are 40x bonus (plus any free spin winnings) only, the max bet and the time you have to complete the offer are not conducive to very large deposits.

You will have 5 days from the time you receive the bonus to complete wagering of 40xb. The max bet allowed during that time is EUR 1 / USD 1 / CAD 1,5 / AUD 1,5 ‘&tc.

Prior to making a very large first deposit to activate a bonus, players should do a little math and be prepared to clear enough of their schedule to complete the offer. A EUR 1,000 bonus (in BTC) will require 40,000 max bet spins - win or lose. If the time window is 5 days (8,000 per day) and you only intend to gamble 5 hours per day - each and every day - you’ll need to complete 1600 spins per hour/26.7 per minute, or approximately one spin every two seconds without fail.

Anyone not willing to dedicate that much time to the endeavor will be better off depositing less than 1000 euros worth of cryptocurrency for obvious reasons.

The most that can be cashed out from any bonus, including the welcome offer, is EUR 10,000 / USD 10,000 / CAD 15,000 / AUD 15,000, etc.

They also have a big gotcha for "bonus abusers" or the poor tuna caught in a sardine net...

Note: “The player is not allowed to abuse the bonus offers. Abuse is the relation of received bonuses to amount of deposits: 70% of bonus funds with 5 deposits, but not more than 9 deposits, 50% of bonus funds with 10 deposits or more,” or they can cancel any winnings.

Skrill and Neteller cannot be used for any of the first three deposit offers but can be used for subsequent bonuses.

Players from Finland aren't eligible for any deposit-based bonuses.

Note: “The Player is not allowed to use any strategy in playing with an active bonus in order to fulfill the requirements to wager the bonus. If the Player uses any strategies, and if the Casino has sufficient grounds to believe that the Player's actions are aimed solely to obtain financial benefits using the bonus advantage, then the Casino reserves the right to cancel all the player's winnings.”

Banking and Customer Service

Players will find a very good variety of payment methods ranging from the most common (Visa/Mastercard) to some of the most specialized for visitors in hard-to-service regions, like Japan (VenusPoint) with a lot of options in between (MuchBetter, MiFinity, ecoPayz, Interac, etc.).

Most deposit methods will also work for withdrawals.

The current minimum deposit is €20 with most capped at a max deposit of €4000 which is also the max withdrawal for most individual transactions.

Daily, weekly, and monthly withdrawal limits are, respectively, €5000, €10000, and €30000. 

Please consider the monthly withdrawal limit to be cumulative, because “ If you win more than €15,000, the Casino reserves the right to divide the payout into monthly installments of a maximum €15,000 until the full amount is paid out.” 

All deposits, including clean deposits with no bonus, must be wagered at least 3x or there may be processing fees involved in a withdrawal.

Customer care

Live chat is available 24/7.

Responsible gambling tools are found under “Account>Personal Limits”

Pitfalls

• Unfair terms against playing with a strategy
• Software should block bonuses that exceed “abuse” limits
• All bonuses have max cashouts (€10000)
• Document verification contact procedure can not surpass 2 weeks (or funds are seized)
• Max bet when playing with a bonus is not commensurate with the maximum BTC bonus allowed [€1.00 (impossible to meet terms in time with large deposits) 5 days]

The Final Word

Goodman Casino offers about 4,000 games from nearly 100 different providers. They offer a good variety of other games to go along with thousands of slots and more than half a dozen live dealer providers.

The jackpot section is unique in that you won’t find many huge jackpot slots - but that is for the best since they don’t make an exception for jackpots in the withdrawal limits - in fact they don’t mention jackpots at all in general terms and conditions. However, in the bonus terms, they do specifically state that local jackpots are included in the €10,000 max win limit.

The welcome bonus looks extremely inviting to me as a larger depositor on occasion, but looking deeper the 40xb (same as 20xd+b) is a moot attraction if I can only bet €1 per spin and I only have 5 days to complete wagering.

Meeting wagering requirements with the max €100 bonus for fiat currencies in a reasonable amount of time seems easy enough with some luck, but anything approaching a €1000 BTC/ETH/LTC bonus seems to be impossible to succeed at.

The term against using any “system” be that Martingale, counting cards, or consulting the local witch doctor are beyond ridiculous in my opinion simply because systems do not work in the long run (what you win using it, I will lose, or the inverse) and counting cards does not change the odds of a 6 deck or 8 deck shoe in any way that could hurt the casino. It’s player against casino and casino against the player - any mental acuity a player brings to the game is their own business - full stop.

As long as players are aware of the pitfalls and play by the rules, I can’t personally find any reason to not recommend this operation based on the product itself or the terms and conditions. However, the fact the software does not prohibit players from taking a bonus that management could later deem to be abusive is insane and should be corrected.

Now, as promised, we’ll look at the organization.

With this brand being relatively new, and the inability to establish absolute operational responsibility, all we can really do is list a few other DAMA sites (as of review time) and mention that many of them use different payment processing companies (all in Cyprus), and then try to parse their reputations - even if being under the same umbrella does not translate directly into behaving exactly the same way. If one DAMA site offers exemplary service, fast payouts, and no hassles in document verification and another is not such a great place to play, that’s something the owners might want to take a look at.

We’ll pick a few random “sister-sites” to compare. Readers should have a good idea of what to expect by the time the review is consumed in its entirety. 

KingBilly launched way back in 2017 and has a great reputation across the board, from players, promoters, player advocates, and independent unbiased reviews. The site has a longstanding and solid track record of tending to business and making its players happy.

That’s not to say there have been no complaints in the last 5 years or so - any operator is bound to get some. We find no open complaints, no unresolved complaints, and no cautions. In the early days of operations, the operator did need to be guided a little bit about what “player-friendly” terms and conditions are and to not seize winnings simply because they could (in a case where the player didn’t provide document verification in time, per terms).

Some minor “kerfuffles” occurred when the operator decided to use the same branding and template to open a European-facing site with a Malta license - yet run them as two entirely separate entities. What could go wrong? All problems were solved.

PlayAmo is a DAMA N.V. site that has no active complaints, but has generated quite a few complaints over the years dating back to about 2016 - the vast majority of those have been resolved properly and fairly. Some that were not resolved amicably could have included using bots or systems to create an unfair advantage, breaking the max bet rules with a bonus, and players who did not understand “loss limits”. 

There is not enough information to determine if the “system” in a 2018 complaint was simply card counting or martingale or if it was AI or another computer program. Conditioning against card counting or roulette systems would be unfair because neither one of them changes the odds of the game in the player’s favor.

Most complaints have been in regard to multi-accounting and failed document verification with most complainants being from eastern Europe.

WildBlaster has a good reputation as well and no open complaints we could find. They pay in one hour, have good monthly withdrawal limits, and accept Bitcoin as well.

Casitsu is another regional favorite with a good reputation and no open complaints we are aware of.

Taking all of the above into consideration, my final word is that if a player knows about what they consider ‘bonus abuse’ and avoids it - and - if they don't use any ‘system’ to “beat the casino” - and if they'd be happy with max cash out of €10000 when playing with a bonus - there are no good reasons not to play here and plenty of good reasons to give it a shot.
