UltraCasino is an online gambling site launched by BP Group Limited (BetPoint). The Site debuted in late 2020 following the successful launch of a small handful of sister sites - all licensed in Malta.

Players in Canada, Finland, Norway, Austria, and New Zealand are especially welcome and will find suitable local payment gateways.

If you've ever played at Rapid, 21, Nitro, Justspin, or NeonVegas, you already know the level of support and quality of games that are found here. 21 was their flagship brand, launched in 2018.

As for the vibe or flavor of the site, well, it's extreme. They tell of ultra-safe and secure withdrawals, all power, and no hassles, and they urge players to be the best, to be "Ultra" before stating, "No matter win or lose, UltraCasino rewards you daily. It doesn't get any better than that!"

The game selection is awesome with a unique mix of providers. We find well over a thousand games here by more than 50 different game studios. That's some ultra-extravagance in game choices. There are two live dealer game providers on board - Pragmatic Play Live and Evolution Gaming.

The bonus scheme includes missions, quests, and leaderboards for those who wish to participate. Look for at least one free spins a day with the top-performing players winning up to hundreds more just for doing well on the single spin.

New game releases are celebrated in the lobby with plenty of opportunities for players to cash in on the novelty.

As of this writing, there is no welcome bonus per se, but plenty of offers to choose from.

The group has a very good reputation among players with no relevant complaints on any of the advocate boards or forums. We don't find any warnings or news accounts of regulatory sanctions.

The only type of resolved complaints we found were people grumbling about identity verification. We always suggest taking care of that little bit of housekeeping early in a player/operator relationship. Instructions and forms as well as secure upload links are found right on the site.

Banking can be a little slow with up to 72 hours pending time on withdrawals but they process them right away after verification. Currencies included CAD, DKK, EUR, GDP, NOK, NZD, SEK, and USD as of this review time.

The site and some support are available in English, Suomi, Norsk, Deutsch, Polish, and French.

Software and Games

UltraCasino comes off the first page strongly without being in your face. The color scheme seems designed to elicit intensity and the shock of red, black, and white accomplish the goal handily.

When you land on the main Games page you are greeted by the not-so-humble assertion, "only the best" and the leading titles back that up.

When we visited, the featured games which follow you throughout the site) included

• John Hunter and the Book of Tut™
  Pragmatic Play
• Gonzo's Quest Megaways

  Pragmatic Play

The Pragmatic titles all featured the developer's Drops & Wins logos - that means the games were currently in the line-up for in-game promotions... more on that later.

Below these games is a divider of clickable blocks under the heading: "Check out games by the theme".

Here we find Drops & Wins, Feature Buy, Megaways, Live Blackjack, Live Roulette, Live gameshows, Live baccarat, TV, and Music.

Working backward, the music-themed games were provided by several different developers including Eurostar Studios (Microgaming) with Deadmou5; Play'n GO's Saxon, Annihilator, Testament, Black Mamba, Sabaton, and Twisted Sister as well ELK's DJ Wild and NetEnt's legendary Guns 'n Roses, Motorhead, and Jimi Hendrix. Betsoft and Pragmatic Play also came to the show with Rockstar and Dance Party respectively.

The TV-themed games were mostly branded titles like Narcos, Peaky Blinders, Planet of the Apes, The Phantom of the Opera, Tomb Raider, and others.

It's nice to know they've sorted whole collections of games for the times you want to play within a theme.

While you won't find slot cliche themes like Egypt, pirates, or Aztecs, any of those words dropped into the text search box should bring up a few games of interest.

• Drops & Wins
• Feature Buy
• Megaways

These categories can help a player to have some serious fun.

Drops & Wins

If you aren't familiar with the in-game promotional tool Pragmatic Play provides operators who carry their games, no worries. All you have to do is play any of the games with the logo/symbol emblazoned on it for a chance to win part of the two-and-a-half-million-euro prize pool that runs with each campaign.

Randomly awarded game enhancements and prizes occur and all it takes to qualify is a paid spin.

All qualifying games show the "tournament" leaderboard.
Compete for tournament prize multipliers up to 5,000x, daily prize drops up to $1,000, and bonus funds from $10 to $1,000.

Players with all-sized bankrolls who bet at least $0.50 per spin all have the same chance to win the highest single spin award because the entered result is adjusted to be value. Someone betting $5 per spin who wins $500 would tie with a person betting $0.50 per spin who wins $50.

You don't have to enter, simply play the offered games!

Feature Buy

One cool thing about feature-buy games is that the bonus mechanic can be added to just about all existing games. In essence, you simply stake a multiple of your regular bet in order to bypass the waiting time to hit a feature.

If the feature frequency is statistically once every 136 spins the game might charge 150x your normal bet in order to trigger it. The maths are impossible to explain without having a par sheet to dissect and these numbers are closely guarded proprietary information. However, the basic premise is easy to understand...

If you don't want to wait for a bonus, you can buy one!

Megaways

This is a feature created by Big Time Gaming that became so popular, so fast that other providers clamored to use it on their own games.

The random reel modifier not only changes the number of visible (in-play) symbols on a reel, it can also add reels to the game.

Rather than having 10, 20, 50, or 243 ways to win, over 100,000 virtual winning combinations can occur.

The first of these games was BTG's Dragon Born with 117,649 possible ways to win!

• Drops & Wins
• Feature Buy
• Megaways

Great Rhino Megaways from Pragmatic Play offers all of the above. Buy a feature, hit a Megaways bonus, and maybe even collect a Drops & Wins prize when the dust settles.

More game filters

In addition to the text search box that lets you look for certain game titles or even a provider/developer name, you can sort games in any category alphabetically - or simply view games from one of the more than 50 providers.

Take a little know name like Gameburger. This is a Microgaming Studios Partner. Selecting Gameburger from the provider dropdown brings up four games. In addition to their debut 9 Masks of Fie, you'll also find exciting titles like Tarzan, Hyper Strike, and 9 Pots of Gold.

You can play any game in the random number generator (RNG) libraries in fun mode to see if you like it before risking your own money. The only games you can't play in practice mode are live dealer games.

Lightning Box only has one entry here under their own brand, but you can bet that the legendary studio has contributed something to many other games here as a third-party developer.

Stacks of Pearls is an understated but beautifully rendered and executed Lightning Box title. 30 paylines reside on a 3x5 reel set. A respin bonus is triggered with stacked wild symbols and stacked multipliers. It's possible to fully stack reels with pearl symbols resulting in a 27x multiplier for the winning spin.

Other games

This site carries a lot more than a bottomless collection of star-studded slot games. The RNG table games section features just about any blackjack, roulette, or baccarat variant you might want to play.

The all-in-one six-game Blackjack+ from FELT attracts bettors who like to spice up the volatility with side bets on Perfect Pairs and several other games. iSoftBet and Pragmatic Play provide baccarat titles with plenty of other options from Microgaming, Relax, Netent, and even Golden Rock Studios.

The latter is a Microgaming partner offering Roulette x2 and Roulette x5. After a win, watch a dice roll to add value to your take.

Live games

Players can go into any sort of game they like by using the game theme selections or simply go to Live casino on the top line menu.

There are more than two dozen blackjack titles and more than half of them come from Pragmatic Play Live studios. One Blackjack from Pragmatic offers bets as low as $1 and as high as $5,000 per hand.

Look for a variety of native language tables for players in Turkey, Italy, Germany, and Russia as well as Macao Roulette. Roulette bets start at $0.10 with max bets of $5,000. Sic Bo can be played for $0.10 and baccarat starts at $0.20.

Evolution leads out with a variety of game show titles like Monopoly Live, Mega Ball, Crazy Time, Dream Catcher, and Deal or No Deal followed by more serious games such as Salon Prive` blackjack and roulette games streamed from the floors of Hippodrome in London and Dragonara in Malta.

Bonuses and Promotions

When we visited UltraCasino there was no welcome bonus on offer, per se. They ask new players to simply jump in and enjoy daily rewards for playing.

The site speaks of almost 2 million in cash bonuses and free spins every year.

How does it work?

The least you can win is 10 free spins but the top 33 players also win bonus funds. The wagering requirement is 30x and the max withdrawal is 3x the prize.

Missions

Each month about three different games will be presented. There are two missions per month and each has a prize pool of $5,000 for a total monthly award of $10k.

Simply play the games and complete the quests such as "hit 4 wins in a row on this game then collect 100 scatters on another and finally collect 3 chests in another base game to complete all quests and the mission.

Bet any amount as long as they are real money bets. Positions on the leaderboard are determined by whom completes the mission in the least number of spins - regardless of the stake. All prizes are awarded as cash with no wagering requirements or other encumbrances.

Can you turn 1 Spin into millions?

Everyone (who has deposited in the last 3 months) gets one free spin per day. The biggest 7 winners then collect their part of 3,500 awarded spins each day. The 7th-place finishers get 200 spins and the top prize spinner gets 700 spins!

Wagering requirements on all stages of the bonus, including the single spin, is 21x. The max withdrawal on winnings from the campaign is $5,000.

Bonus recap: 100% percent focused on loyalty with near-immediate rewards. Rather than recruiting new players with match bonuses that can leave the average player disappointed, UltraCasino simply opens the door to show potential new customers what's happening inside.

Most operators offer match bonuses with no max cashout and high wagering requirements. Bonus "abusers" (there's no such thing) have a much better chance than the average player to win their part of the "marketing budget".

The operators seem to have decided not to spend money on players who will simply win as much as they can with a welcome bonus before moving onto the next potentially lucrative offer.

Instead, they give every player a chance every day to participate in the prize pools with free spins and tournament awards. All of the perks are focused on giving players immediate or near immediate gratification based on participation and sheer luck.

Banking and Customer Service

Players can get their deposits into the cashier and cash out their winnings using several payment methods here. Your location may determine specific options. For instance, only players with a Canadian bank account can use Interac. Klarna is more widely available and Trustly covers most of Europe.

E-Wallets like Skrill and Neteller are available in most areas (except Canada). VISA debit/credit cards and MasterCard are accepted from players in most of the world.

As is the case at all licensed online casinos, Know Your Customers (KYC) regulations require certain document verifications prior to any payouts. The operator has to be sure they are paying you, not a fictitious entity.

Once documents are verified, which could take several days, all payouts stay in pending status for up to 72 hours. Once approved they are said to be processed immediately.

Some players give into temptation and playback winnings while waiting for a withdrawal to clear the verification process. Our suggestion to them would be to make one deposit with the payment method you usually use. Submit your documents (use secure upload links onsite). Contact customer service and inform them you would like to play (deposit) more but you are waiting on verification.

This will not negate the 72-hour pending time on withdrawals but it should make your first inbound transaction go much more smoothly. We don't find the ability to flush withdrawals. However, the responsible gambling tools will allow you to take a break while verification is in progress.

Customer care

Live chat and an online email messaging center are available. We find customer support in several different languages. One not listed is Japanese.

The FAQs answers are concise, relevant, and well-presented. The "About Us" section is informative and transparent.

Responsible gambling tools are well organized, regulatory-compliant, and robust enough to be used to protect winnings as well as prevent unplanned losses.

Pitfalls

• Bonus program will not appeal to all players (rewards-based)
• Wagering requirement on deposit bonuses when given is too high (50xb)
• Max bet for bonus is too low ($5)
• Withdrawal pending times too long (72 hours)
• No parity between minimum deposit and minimum withdrawal ($10/$50 respectively)
• Fees can be charged for deposits or withdrawals

The Final Word

UltraCasino offers players a wealth of game choices and a fairly novel way of enjoying them to their fullest. Throughout the years we have heard many gamblers complain about convoluted and complicated bonus terms and conditions. Each discussion has usually ended with a call for something unique - a way to reward loyal players beyond the tiered VIP program schemes.

Loyalty and participation are rewarded here on the same day or the following day in most cases. Some opportunities exist daily or weekly for anyone who has deposited in the last 3 months.

The field is leveled for players of all financial means in most cases.

Whether it is a tournament with missions and quests that values your best win as a differential or percentage of your bet (a $1 spin producing a $10 win beats a $10 spin that results in a $90 win) or giving every player a single spin each day to try for the biggest result - to a mission-based on random game occurrences executed as a race (complete it in fewest spins to win) the rewards are equal for all players across the board.

The site adds value to your play by rewarding you after depositing and playing with your own money. Most players who are willing to rethink "bonusing" should find this model very attractive after getting used to it.

Banking, on the other hand, could be a sticking point for some players. We don't find any valid reason an operator should wait 72 hours to process winnings after all due diligence has been completed.

If it is a ploy designed to get players to playback winnings (we don't know that it is), customers can easily defeat the machination by using the onboard responsible gambling tools to exclude themselves from play while a payout is pending.

It will most likely still take a few days to get paid, but all indications are that the BetPoint Group has never welched on a bet and you will be paid according to the terms and conditions.
