Lady Hammer Casino is an online gambling portal launched in late 2017 by SoftSwiss holding company, Direx N.V. The face of the site is the illustrious Middleweight and Super Middleweight World Champion boxer, Christina Hammer. The brand ambassador is known throughout the boxing world simply as Lady Hammer due to her real name and record of 22 wins, 10 by knockout, and 0 losses.

Christina is in well-earned possession of the green World Boxing Council (WBC) World Champion Belt. Other well-known names to earn the honor include Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather. The belt is decorated with the portrait of Muhammad Ali who had the WBC Heavyweight belt in 1978.

In addition to sports, Christina has made a name for herself in fashion, and now she is setting out to rise to the top of online gaming with the full faith and power of a Direx owned and operated venue in her corner. The World Champion's support indicates reliability and trustworthiness. The SoftSwiss and Direx N.V. names present a solid white label operator with about 35 casinos running smoothly 24/7/365. The company is licensed and regulated in Curacao by Antillephone N.V. 8048/JAZ.

Other Direx sites you might be familiar with include BitStarz, mBit, and Oshi. While the presentation, bonuses, VIP schemes, marketing, and many other elements differ wildly from one another - they are all built on the same bones and use the same nuts and bolts as this site.

Back to boxing for a moment, the WBC is arguably the most important boxing organization in the world. WBC President, Mauricio Sulaimán has agreed to accept 5% of the gaming site's earnings to support WBC charity programs. It's not too hard to get behind something like that!

US, UK, Spain, and France are restricted from play. Available currencies are USD, EUR, and Bitcoin.

Software and Games

Being powered by SoftSwiss means that players will have access to hundreds of games by well-known providers like Microgaming, NetEnt, Amatic Industries, and iSoftbet to name a few. One cool thing about the gaming platform is that it recognizes your IP address - so if you are in the U.S. you won't even see any games to play once the site registers your location. This is great for Canadian and other players who are restricted from playing certain slots because of provider restrictions. NYX and NetEnt do not serve the Canadian open market. So you simply shouldn't see the games you can't play from there either. It saves a lot of frustration and keeps the platform in compliance with regional rules.

The site is also mobile responsive, so as long as you have an internet browser whether mobile, tablet, laptop, or PC/Mac you can play without any software or app downloads.

In all honesty, we lost count of the number of games available after unveiling several hundred by pressing the Load More Games button again and again. It would be nice if there were a text-only option. However, if you know what you are looking for, even vaguely, it's easy to find a particular game using the onsite filters. Search by name, provider, or category.

The only place the "by provider" search facility falls short is that they lump all Quickfire games together. Quickfire is an aggregator platform launched by Microgaming in 2010 with games in 20 languages provided by dozens of developers like Genesis Gaming, Rabcat, Elk Studios, and many others. So look under Quickfire for the greatest variety of games, like Supernova by Quickspin - or search by name in the text input field.

SoftSwiss was a pioneer in blockchain gaming. If you play one of their games, like European Roulette, you can access the "Provably Fair" widget to confirm that you and the casino are both seeing the exact same results as recorded. You can see the actual data used to generate the random number and compare it to the final result.

Bonuses and Promotions

Other than the sleek layout and knockout images of Christine, one thing that will always set this site apart from any other white label operation is the bonuses. Be sure to read the terms and conditions as some games are only available in certain places and other games like Jackpot 6000 and Jackpot Jester 50,000 can be excluded from some promotions.

Banking and Customer Service

We had hoped to talk to Christine herself when we tested the live chat function but were not that lucky. You could always leave a message using the onsite email. All of the major deposit and withdrawal options are available including debit/credit cards, Skrill, etc. All deposits are instant and there is no limit to the amount of Bitcoin accepted. Withdrawals are capped at €10,000 each according to the payments page - except bitcoin via Cubits, which is currently stated as 15 BTC but limited in the general T&C to 2500 Euro per week and 10,000 Euro per a month (or BTC currency equivalent).

Pitfalls

The wagering requirement for bonus funds is 50x. RNG video poker and roulette only count 5% so wagering is effectively 1,000x. Blackjack and baccarat count 0%. There is a zero-tolerance policy regarding advantage play, which is not defined as anything beyond, "try to gain advantage of casino welcome offers / other promotions". They reserve the right to void winnings if you do that, whatever that may be in their minds. Minimum 500.00 wire transfers, except in EU, then 100.00.

The Final Word

New casinos always present some risk, except in the case of major white label providence as is the case here with SoftSwiss/Direx N.V. Of the uncountable hundreds or thousands of white label casinos out there, Lady Hammer has a well-defined theme, an attraction for boxing fans and any fan of the honorable ambassador, and a phenomenal game selection from slots to blackjack, to live dealer games. Directing 5% of revenues to the WBC charitable works will be icing on the cake for some players.
