Red Star Casino is a full-service online betting emporium launched in 2011 as part of the RSP Entertainment group of companies. The first entry into the online market was Red Star Poker, which launched in 2005 and is still in operation today in regulated markets across the globe. Their betting site launched in 2014 and is accessible directly from the casino page.

The full package here includes poker, RNG slots and casino games, a live dealer casino, pre-match and live betting, and an entire host of virtual 3D animated sports betting options from Kiron Interactive and other providers. The site's license from Curacao eGaming covers all wagers they accept. The sports betting section operates on an SBTech platform integration.

In my years of gambling online and reviewing every possible stripe of operator, I've come to realize that fairness, constancy, and history are the most important elements when it comes to assessing an endgame provider's credibility and potential for longterm mutual benefit and satisfaction for players. When I review a site with the LCB Seal of Approval as well as others, my interest is always piqued.

When a purveyor provides direct links to advocacy sites, rather than simply giving mouth service, I know I'm in for some extended research time to make sure they're still on top of their game. So I let the dogs out on their ropes, put a roast on, canceled some entertainment, and settled in for a long pull.

It didn't take long before I decided to let the dogs run, transferred the roast to the slow cooker for tomorrow, and got back on the phone for a "maybe". This may be the cleanest sportsbook, poker room, and casino I have ever seen - or - the internet is playing tricks on me.

So, I used the Wayback Machine, Google Cache tools, DNS queries, and other tradecraft to get to the bottom of it. And then I found it! No, not just below the surface of some mud, but glimmering, in plain sight all along. A stand-up operation, which believes in a bet laid being a bet paid. No funky terms, no hiding behind what they must do to please certain regulators, nothing amiss.

Of course, no single site, even when it is 3 sites in one, will be a perfect match for everyone - so there are pitfalls, and we have a section for those below.

Software and Games

We'll stick reviewing the casino with another brief mention of sports betting and poker. If you are not already registered at any of the Red Star sites, you should find a generous welcome offer. The MPN poker room offers downloads for Mac and PC. You may have to change your nickname if you already have one on the MPN Network, but your login and password will remain the same.

All RNG and live studio games are available for instant play on mobile or desktop.

The live dealer suite offers games from NetEnt Live, Evolution Gaming, and Bet Games.tv with about 20 different games, table limits, and studio atmospheres. Each of the three providers offers baccarat, roulette, blackjack and a few table poker games.

Players will see a list of game providers on the left. Clicking on a logo, such as Lightning Box, will bring up only games from that maker such as Chilli Gold, Mild Rockers, and Serengeti Lions Stellar Jackpot.

Using the Jackpots filter on the top menu will bring up Microgaming Network Progressives - the games with jackpots that grow by leaps and bounds with players all over the world contributing to the pot. Mega Moolah, Cash Splash, King Cashalot, and Lots-a-Loot are among the choices.

Among the nearly 30 providers are world renown names as NetEnt as well as some unnamed providers on the Microgaming Quickfire network. Look for Foxium games, heavy on narrative and action like Adelia the Fortune Wielder Slot, Lucky Links and Deco Diamonds from JFTW, and Super Sumo by Fantasma along with plenty of other surprises.

This is also one of the only sites we've seen an entire portfolio of games from Skywind Group.

The virtual suite is well populated with games by 1X2Gaming, LeapGaming, and South Africa's Kiron Interactive. The 3D mastery of Leap is a thing to behold whether you are racing a motorbike, on the superspeedway motor track, betting on greyhounds, horses, or having a flutter on a tennis match. The games are available in demo mode. To find casino slots from 1X2Gaming's stand-alone development lab, click on theIron Dog Studio logo.

Bonuses and Promotions

In addition to match offers and incentives offered for sports and poker, look for hybrid offers - especially for players who like to mix up their gaming. There are usually big prize pools with lots of winners.

The bonus terms are clear and fair, you'll find them with each individual offer you click. The percent of required rollover for any incentive is displayed as a bar to the right of your current balance so you know when you are getting close to completing it.

Banking and Customer Service

With players participating from all over the world, you'll find more than ample deposit options - some tailored for certain regions. There are almost as many withdrawal methods listed as there are for getting your money into the cashier.

Expect fast payouts of up to 8 hours on business days and up to 24 hours on weekends. The maximum amount you can withdraw monthly is relatively high, but not unlimited. Client funds are segregated from business funds and monitored daily.

Five-Star VIP program includes dedicated assistant, exclusive promotions, and a loss insurance program for rated players.

Customer support is available 23:00-6:00 GMT and emails are answered within 24 hours. Live chat is nearly instant during business hours and players are welcome to leave a callback number via email for a personal conversation.

Pitfalls

Weak licensing jurisdiction. No HTML5 poker room, download required. Limited live chat hours. No direct phone support.

The Final Word

RedStar Casino offers an all-in-one chance to play nearly any gambling game available on the internet. There are well over 1,300 slots to choose from as well as RNG table games, video poker, and virtual sports from darts to ponies. The live dealer suite offers plenty of variety in games and atmosphere. The poker and sports sites enjoy a good reputation, as does the casino. Players at LCB rate the experience in the top 10% of more than 1,500 rated venues and a casino representative offers direct support if an issue ever arises. We don't find any complaints of slow pay. However, plan to have your KYC verification in order to enjoy a fast payout on your first winning session.
