JeetPlay Casino is an online gambling site focused on the Indian market. In fact, the site is India through and through from the name to the theme, and extends all the way to the welcome offer, payment methods, customer service, and beyond.

Players in many jurisdictions are welcome here, however, only those visiting from India are eligible for the welcoming offer. We'll talk about that more in the bonus section below. For now, we'll simply mention that all players who are able to register can take advantage of other play incentives, but...

The Welcome Offer is reserved for players from India.

The site is operated by GMFY TECH N.V., a company that is registered and licensed for online gambling in Curacao.

On February 2nd, 2021, Master License Holder Antillephone (Lic. #8048/JAZ) granted a sub-license to JeetPlay by authorization of and under the regulations of the Government of Curacao.

The level of trust granted to the operator extends to any sort of wagers they choose to accept online including sports bets, lottery, or any other game of chance and games with a mix of chance and skill.

As we review this establishment, the operators are allowing bets and wagering on both live casino games as well as slots and other animated games with random number generator (RNG) derived outcomes.

Look for a great selection of Live Dealer gaming tables including Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, Namaste Roulette, 32 Cards, Ott Andar Bahar, and Bet On Teen Patti, as well as all of the floor classics such as roulette, blackjack, and baccarat along with plenty of game show titles for intense social play.

We are very familiar with nearly all of the game providers here, having reviewed their software and games in detail throughout the years. Those reviews often include examining technical testing certificates issued by world-renowned independent third-party testing labs such as TST, BMM, GLI, QUINNEL, and others.

These are the same companies that certify online and land-based gaming in Europe and the Americas, as well as most of Asia.

I have personally studied the phenomenon of online gambling for over two decades and have spent the last 11 years as an industry professional. However, a few of the game providers here are new to me. I will beg your patience while I place a pin in the names of those providers as we complete our assessment of this online gaming venue.

Upon first glance, those studios or providers, from among 38 known providers here include:

• Caleta
• Mascot
• PlayPearls
• WooHoo

If I am unable to find satisfactory technical data on any of these providers it will be mentioned further in the review.

There has been a brief iteration of the JeetPlay casino brand in the recent past - however, that operation was under another management company that we are currently unable to connect to GMFY with even the slightest level of certainty.

That means that we will not be able to predict the future integrity of this nascent operation based on the past performance of the operator. What we do have is a copy of their Gaming License, as well as an official, validated excerpt from the Curaçao Chamber of Commerce & Industry Commercial Register under article 11 paragraph 2 of the Trade Ordinance (O.G. 2009 no. 51).

With that, we can examine the software and games, bonuses and promotions, banking and customer service, note any potential pitfalls players in India or elsewhere should look out for, and render a final word on the operation based on the information and evidence we gather going forward.

Let's explore JeetPlay!

Software and Games

It goes without saying that consumers now demand their entertainment follow them wherever they go via mobile devices. The online gambling industry has kept up with this trend by making all games available to everyone anywhere through HTML5 instant play, browser-based gaming.

At least one in two smartphone users in India are gamers of some sort. The logical assumption is that many residents also prefer to wager online as well.

JeetPlay Casino is a 100% mobile-responsive gambling website.

One of the many beauties of the HTML5 markup language for browsers is that everything is scalable, based on the device and display you are using. A hand-held device becomes equal to a high-definition monitor and superior to most projector screens for gaming. Most importantly, perhaps, is that any transition from device to device is seamless with no perceptible change in the user experience.

A handheld device for quiet times alone or when you are on the go translates perfectly to gaming on the big screen or betting on Virtual Sports like football or motorsports with friends or family at home without missing a beat if you so desire.

Navigation

It has been said that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. This gaming site has mastered the application of that concept.

The welcome page offers Games, F.A.Q., Bonuses, and a place to log in or sign up.

Once you enter the lobby, you can claim a bonus or make a deposit in a few well-guided steps. Click on the new Deposit button to use your Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, RuPay credit and debit cards, AstroPay or an eWallet to get started.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to play any of the games in demo mode prior to registering an account.

There are three search boxes available once you enter the games lobby. Drop-down menus for game types and categories as well as providers make filtering second nature even for a novice. There is also a text search box if you want to find a particular title such as Blackjack Royal Pairs, or simply wish to see all of the blackjack games on offer.

Game type drop-down comprises

• All Games
• Hot Games
• Live
• Cards
• Jackpot
• Roulette
• Blackjack
• Slots
• Baccarat
• Other

Whilst the Provider menu lists each of the game studios or aggregators supplying you with gambling entertainment.

There are two things this reviewer appreciates about the segregation of game types here.

One - they have not mixed Live titles in with the Cards or the other way around. When I click on Live games that is all I see. When I go to the Cards section, I only see results for RNG card games. The only exceptions are Sic Bo and Poker Dice.

Aside: I won't split hairs over video poker being in this category. Its inclusion is part of what makes the entire site crisp, clear, clean, and super easy to navigate.

Two - Although baccarat, in all of its iterations, is certainly a card game, all 15 punto banco/baccarat variants are relegated to their own category.

Live dealer games

There are two initial ways to enter the live gaming realm here. The first and most obvious is to simply choose "Live" from the game type dropdown. The other would be to select games by the provider.

The former and the latter provide different pathways depending on your preferences and familiarity with live gaming providers.

Our default suggestion for most players would be to open the suite from the game types menu.

However, if you are familiar with and prefer the games of a specific supplier you can go to providers and choose:

• Asia Gaming - 1 title
• BetGames TV - 10 titles
• Evolution - MOTHERLOAD!
• Ezugi - GOLDMINE!
• Fazi - Live auto roulette
• Real Dealer Studios - 10 titles
• VIVO Gaming - GOLDMINE!

We think this is quite a find for our readers who have a specific studio or live floor steaming preference as the main site only refers to 3 providers by name.

Let's take a look at some specific game types. Searching by the game name should reveal all live games as well as RNG titles. We will mention both.

Teen Patti

Teen Patti and Bet On Teen Patti are the live choices here and both are provided by Ezugi. The Bet On version includes Player A and Player B and allows 2 side bets while the regular version allows up to 8.

The odds and payouts are the same and both allow an unlimited number of players so you'll never have to wait for a seat.

Optimal play will produce the following RTP:

• Main - 97.39%
• Pair or Better side bet - 95.51% (Mini Royal 100:1)
• 3 + 3 Bonus side bet - 91.44% (Royal Flush 1000:1)

Woohoo also provides 2 RNG animated Teen Patti games - Rapid and Pro.

Andar Bahar

Here again, we see Ezugi providing the live titles and Woohoo with 2 RNG games - standard and One Touch for mobile.

This is one of the very rare card games with a better theoretical return to player percentage when placing a side bet than you receive on the main bet. Of course, the volatility is much higher with the side bet but RTP comes in at 95.57% when you bet on how many cards will be dealt in the round. The probability of landing 41 or more cards is just 0.002161 according to Michael Shackford.

If you want to dissect the more volatile part of the game from a statistical perspective to sharpen your chances of winning, please see the Wizard of Odds' Side Betting Analysis for Andar Bahar.

OTT Andar Bahar

Ezugi beams these games to players in India from Casino Marina in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The "over the top" format allows more excitement for those who prefer live gaming floor action to the studio-produced other versions of the game.

32 Cards

Ezugi developed a studio version of this game and released it in October 2020. The Andar Bahar derivative game has developed a fan base that extends far beyond the sub-continent.

The simplicity of the game layout and betting makes it an ideal mobile gaming title and the fast pace of gameplay appeals to players everywhere.

The theoretical RTP comes up short at 92.71% but the 11:1 and 4.5:1 payouts can make up for it in an edge-of-your-seat winning streak.

Sic Bo

This game may have originated in China, but the people of India have enjoyed it as their own for centuries. This is one of my favorite games to find in a terrestrial casino and when the odds are right, I won't even approach the roulette tables.

This game is simply so powerful from the perspective of a player having complete control of the volatility of their bets. I know of no other game like it in that respect.

Look for 3 RNG versions provided by One Touch (a unique mobile interface), Triple PG, and the legendary Microgaming.

Ezugi provides a wonderful first-person experience with the expected 180:1 payout for any specific Triple and 5:1 for combination bets.

However, I always play Evolution Gaming's Super Sic Bo, here's why.

Sic Bo is the most volatile game I know of that lets me control my risk and reward from one round to the next and that is the kind o player I am. When I spin slots I will only play the games I can manipulate the volatility on by reducing line count and increasing my bet per line. The RTP remains the same, but the wins can be huge.

Super Sic Bo increases the house edge on many bets in order to offer extreme payouts on statistically improbable wins.

Here's how it works...

No side bet is needed to win a random multiplier up to 1000x. Simply bet as you normally would and at the conclusion of the game, a random multiplier up to 1,000x is applied from zero to several spots on the betting table.

I'm more than happy to see the normal 180:1 payout for a specific Triple (4, 4, 4 or 5, 5, 5 for example) reduced to a paltry 150:1 as long as the payout for *any Triple remains at 30:1 and it does - but a one unit bet at 150:1 becomes 150 units, and if the biggest multiplier hits it, that number becomes 150,000 units.

Granted, I don't spend much time on the high-risk parts of the table, but you can't win if you don't play, and it excites me to no end that 3 Dice and a stroke of luck can give me that sort of return.

Slots and other games

Visitors will find over 2,000 games including the newest titles from Microgaming, Fugaso, Iron Dog, and Yggdrasil to name a few.

Slots are the backbone of nearly every online gaming venue, and that is no exception here!

Virtual sports

Kiron offers an entire suite of virtual sports here for those who like to bet the books. The wagering is just the same as predictive markets and the action is no less exciting.

Realistic sights and sounds go along with your real betting slip when you enter the animated, realistic 3D world of virtual sports.

Look for horse, dog, car, speed skating, and bicycle racing as well as horse jumping or go straight to the other virtual markets to bet on soccer and football, hockey, basketball, golf, table tennis, badminton, and archery

Bonuses and Promotions

While everyone can get the twice-weekly reload bonuses, as of the time of this review, only Indians can partake in the welcome bonus.

Please note, the use of VPNs or any other sort of masking or cloaking device will most likely result in the loss of winnings. It's not worth the risk.

₹70,000 Welcome Bonus

All percentage match bonuses here come with a wagering requirement of 25x the amount of the bonus plus the deposit. This means that if you deposit ₹1,000 and receive a bonus of ₹1,000 your total encumbered bankroll will be ₹2,000. Multiply this sum by 25 to arrive at the amount you will need to turn over in order to cash out your winnings.

lease read the terms and conditions in order to understand anything you need to keep in mind in order to complete your end of the bargain. Briefly - only slots count for wagering. If you try to withdraw winnings prior to completing your end of the bargain you will lose the bonus and any potential winnings. Don't place a bet of more than ₹450 on any game. Do not buy a bonus feature on any game.

There are a few more complicated bonus rules for table players and other bonuses, please inform yourself about these by visiting the site and clicking on Terms & Conditions.

Please note: While T&C do change from time to time, at present, if you have generated bonus funds from free spins they may be valid to use only on the game that generated them. You may not see them in your cash or bonus balance until they have been converted by playing through the money the specified number of times.

All bonuses have expiration dates, and only one is allowed at a time.

Skrill, Neteller, MuchBetter, EcoPayz, and other eWallet deposits are not eligible for any bonus including the welcome offer.

Banking and Customer Service

Payment methods may vary from time to time and place to place. Please do not endanger your account or attempt to supersede player protection or fraud prevention measures by using VPN or any other masking or cloaking methods.

Common and familiar local payment methods for players in India should include

• UPI
• Paytm
• PhonePe
• Netbanking
• Google Pa

However, prior to depositing money please be sure to check the withdrawal section of the cashier in order to confirm that your preferred outbound payment method is available to you.

Answers to common questions about deposits and withdrawals may be found in the F.A.Q. section of the website. If you need more assistance please contact customer service.

While deposits are almost always instant, payouts are stated as occurring within 24 hours, Monday through Friday. First withdrawals may take longer if you have not verified your documents yet.

Customer care

Live chat will become available after you have registered an account. At all times an onsite form is accessible and you can write them at support [@] jeetplay.com. The onsite form is found by clicking "Contact Us" and includes a facility for document uploads.

Responsible gambling tools are available at the user's discretion from within the account. Instructions are provided after login.

Pitfalls

• Welcome Bonus only available for Indian players
• The brand name may be associated with a failed operation (765)
• Limited banking options
• Fees may be charged if a clean deposit isn't wagered at least 1x (5%)
• Sister-site, Netbet88 may or may not be associated with an operation with a similar name and logo

Revisiting four software providers initially unfamiliar to the reviewer:

Woohoo - While we don't find specific testing certificates, we do find the games integrated onto aggregator platforms and into casinos that are licensed in jurisdictions with robust regulatory regimes.

PlayPearls - NMi and QUINEL certified (.pdf) 

Caleta - GLI-19 certification from BMM Testlabs

Mascot - GLI Certified

The Final Word

It's always nice to see a casino like JeetPlay come along to service a specific region or even a niche of players. It often bodes well for a long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationship between friendly adversaries.

Make no mistake, no casino is your friend - they want your money and you want theirs, it's the nature of the game!

It is always a transactional relationship at its core, even though you may come to develop and feel a sense of appreciation or fondness for a host or a representative.
With every bet, you give them some house edge, they give you entertainment and the chance to win money.

At the end of the day, the important thing is that each side abides by the agreed-upon terms and conditions.

JeetPlay Casino offers players in India and elsewhere a feeling of home with a well-curated game library and India-centric imagery.
