Sports and Casino is an online gambling site launched in 2019. Players in the US, Oceania and most other regions are welcome there.

Ownership is unknown as is the licensing jurisdiction, however, indications are that it operates under a sublicense from Curacao.

The gaming software may be using geo-location in order to only provide legal services in specific jurisdictions. For instance, when we logged in from the USA, the sportsbook was "unavailable" in this region.

We also see logos of some European game suppliers who do not license sites to use their games in the US. Logging on from another locale may cause your browser to display games from Fugaso, Tom Horn, and Felix Gaming.

From this desk, we find slots and table games from Rival, Betsoft, Saucify, and the lesser-known Arrow's Edge.

With only about a year of operations at the time of this review, we do not find many complaints, and the scant few we dug up were amicably resolved.

One player posted publically about not receiving a quick response to a live-chat inquiry, another requested which documents to send, and two were about network processing speeds for Bitcoin withdrawals which were resolved with patience.

That's not too bad at all for a fresh operation and all of them could be down to the expected "teething pains" most sites experience and not repeated.

Like all lightly seasoned operations, players should give their trust in increments and know where to go if a problem ever arises.

As time goes by and history bears out the current level of customer satisfaction players should be able to rely entirely on the operator's reputation along with the terms and conditions.

Software and Games

The site loads quickly in any web browser on a desktop or mobile. We first visited on an Android phone. The load time was instant, the menus were intuitive, and sign-up was a breeze.

Prior to accepting an obscenely huge Bitcoin welcome bonus we looked in the Help section and easily found wagering requirements, restrictions, and game weightings. However, it was necessary to click on "claim the promotion" to find details such as max cashout.

A couple of clicks to "shop" the offers resulted in finding just what we were looking for. The match percentage was insane but not obscene, the playthrough and weightings were clearly stated, and there was no max cashout associated with it.

Game menus

The lobby options include:

• Most Popular
• New Games
• Slots
• Table Games
• Video Poker
• Casual Games
• Jackpot Games

The "popular" category featured Rival blackjack, 10x and 5x Win 3 reel Rival slots, along with older and newer games from the developer. Betsoft and Saucify were also well-represented in the game population.

The new games section is dynamic and will update as fresh titles are released. The section was headed up with the latest releases from Arrow's Edge followed by Rival, Betsoft, and Saucify titles.

For some reason, there were also AE games that have been out for a year or two - but they may have been new to the site rather than fresh off the production floor.

Slots

The entire retinue of providers is shown in the menu. However, again, from the US we were unable to play the European games. This was a little disappointing although the result was expected.

The game filters are handy and worked just fine. Choosing Betsoft brought up nearly 90 games.

Betsoft

The developer has been around since almost the dawn of internet gaming (1999). They are best known for the quality of their games as well as a wide variety of themes.

Most of them are highly entertaining and low to medium variance so a small deposit can last quite a while. Highly volatile slots are in the mix too.

For the best of both worlds check out Good Girl Bad Girl. You can play low-risk (left to right), high-risk (right to left), or sink into some medium volatility play by choosing both directions.

Those familiar with the games will find their old favorites. If games with little animated hosts cheering you on are new to you, you might find a favorite or two as well!

Saucify games

This provider was formerly known as BetOnSoft, but the name may have been too similar to Betsoft. Regardless, they kept all of the legacy games and started creating new titles a few years ago.

The older games are still popular and the catalog contains some real gems like Big Game, Spartans, and Monkey Business. If you haven't played for a while or are new to the brand, it's worth checking out newer games such as Tales of Time Travel, Rise of Spartans, and Tanzakua as well.

The games have more advanced bonus rounds and improved base gameplay with expanding wilds and more.

Arrow's Edge

This is an interesting developer with unique and underappreciated games. While it's disappointing to not see any of their "repurposed" Cryptologic slots (which actually have NextGen origins) you will find their new catalog.

There are about two dozen titles from the humorous World leaders with a red telephone bonus, to Time Bender.

Time Bender best-in-class video slot with stunning graphics and mechanics. This may have been one of the first games online to use "colossal" symbols. The gameplay is almost hypnotic and huge wins are more frequent than should be expected on a lucky run.

Most of the games share a common progressive jackpot that is triggered randomly. Since play on so many games contributes to the shared jackpots, they can grow quickly and fall often.

Rival Powered slots

Oddly enough, there isn't currently a game provider category for Rival games, they are simply mixed in with others under popular, jackpot, and all games.

Look for original issue titles like 5 Reel Circus and Atomic Age along with iSlots like As the Reel Turns 1, 2, and 3.

Big Bang Buckaroo and Big Cash win offer 3-reel action and Bowled Over, Hole in Won, and a few others offer true skill-based bonus rounds.

Note: Rival Powered slots with free spin win multipliers also multiply picking and other bonus wins that are triggered during the free games.

Table games

Blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Pai Gow, and craps as well as house-banked poker games are in this category. Look for 3D heads Up Poker3 from Betsoft here.

Fresh Deck Studios is the provider. Look for several game variants of blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. Low and high-limit rooms are available.

Video poker

Jacks or Better, Double Double Joker, Deuces and Joker... 7 paytables and rulesets are on hand from Rival. Each game can be played single-hand or with multiple hand counts.

Casual games

Keno, bingo, and animated scratch cards along with a Sudoku box game are found here. RNG bingo comes in 30, 75, 80, and 90 ball varieties, and some of the animated scratch games are more like fixed-odds model slots.

Bonuses and Promotions

The welcome offers were huge when we visited with a 500% Bitcoin bonus (10x max cashout), 400% any method (max cashout), and a 300% any method offer with no max cash and decent wagering requirements.

Additional bonuses are loaded to your account on an individual basis for you to claim or ignore.

In general, the huge bonuses have maximum cashout amounts, while those around 100% have low wagering and no max cashout.

Look for conditional bonus cash to claim, bonus spins, and cash infusions for loyalists and other VIP players.

Comp points are not accumulated when playing with massive bonuses. Otherwise, it's a generous program.

Note: Be sure to claim your bonuses before making a deposit

Banking and Customer Service

Payment methods are a bit limited but debit/credit cards, Western Union, and Bitcoin deposits are accepted.

The site lists many withdrawal methods including some that are specific to certain regions such as Australia. However, we have seen in the fora that players in some regions may only withdraw via BTC. Check with customer service prior to depositing.

Expect the first payout to take up to a few days if you aren't proactive with early document verification. After that pending period is up to 48 hours with payouts arriving within 72 hours should be the norm.

Customer care

We got a super quick response from Help Chat. An agent joined the chat within 7 seconds and responded in less than 15 seconds from when we asked a question.

A treasure trove of online gambling information

The "Tips and Info section rivals giants such as 888 for the depth, breadth, and quality of information it contains. If you are new to online gambling or simply want a refresher course, you'll find a little bit of everything there.

Look for in-depth chapters on RNG (random number generators), house edge, RTP (return to player percentage), variance, and volatility. Tips include well-thought-out and truly viable strategies based on sound maths and responsible gambling principles.

Pitfalls

• Newer operation
• Owner & license not disclosed
• 48-hour payout for Bitcoin

The Final Word

Sports and Casino offers a variety of gambling games from well-known and not-so-well-known developers and accepts US players.

The site doesn't display a license but is certainly licensed somewhere or it would be shut down by international monetary authorities in no time.

Players outside the UKGC and Maltese jurisdictions are pretty much reduced to relying on reputation anyway as the Curacao regulators don't handle player complaints.

We'd like to see more transparency as well as quicker internal processing of withdrawals. If a site won't flush payments they could at least lock them up so impatient players aren't tempted to playback their winnings out of boredom or the desire to win more.

That said, we're happy to see how the hub has carried itself for the first year of operations and will keep an ear to the ground for any rumblings of discontent, slow processing, or any unforeseen problems.
