Megawins Casino – The Complete Review

Megawins is a relatively new addition to the online casino world. Having just
launched in December of 2016,
it’s got about seven months under its belt at the time of this review, so
there’s not an extensive track record to reference as yet. The website is casino
plus a very limited live casino only and is geared toward Bitcoin users. The
benefit of Megawins, though, is that it also provides

Fiat options in addition to Bitcoin, including credit, debit, and e-wallets.
The number and variety of the alternative financial options are impressive
considering its primary focus is on Bitcoin use.

Ratings Breakdown

Overall

We like the concept of the Bitcoin focus plus allowing players to use more
traditional methods to finance their betting. The slot games are plentiful and
diverse, and there are some bonuses aside from deposit matches, so those are
nice additions. Customer service is not readily available, and the deposit and
withdrawal methods are not disclosed to non-registered players and both of those
service-related issues detract from a good overall casino.

Game Variety

Megawins uses a team of software providers to offer players a good,
well-rounded experience. With 686 different slots available to some players, the
variety is going to be there but the live casino only has three tables, and not
all games are available in every geographical location, so it didn’t seem right
to give a 5-star rating.

Banking

As a Bitcoin casino, players receive the benefit of near instant deposits and
withdrawals with no fees attached and no hoops to jump through. However, there
are other more traditional financial options available to players and the reason
we downgraded the rating is because there is no menu of deposit and withdrawal
information posted for anyone who isn’t a registered player. We like full
disclosure so new customers know what they can expect and can read through
everything before deciding to commit.

Bonuses

The 110% welcome bonus is decent as it provides for up to one Bitcoin, but
there is a 35 times rollover that offsets the value of it. Lottery drawings and
monthly slot tournaments do add some value as well as slots cash back Mondays so
the score is back up there again.

Customer Service

We didn’t take off any stars for poor service but did experience first hand a
long waiting period to receive an answer. First of all, live chat is the only
option available to players but, secondly, it’s not an instant chat. You can
provide your email address, and they’ll get back to you, and we highly recommend
doing that as it took us a few hours to receive a response.

User Interface

It’s not only an eye-catching website but, for a site that hosts a huge
number of games, it manages to organize them in a way that makes reviewing the
options as comfortable as possible. The mobile casino is equal in quality and
offers a high percentage of the game collection for tablet and smartphone play.

Overview of Megawins Casino

Ownership

It is a product of Direx N.V. for direct ownership, and
SoftSwiss for operations, customer
service, and technology. Direx owns several other gambling websites, all
listed under the Curacao licensing, including Bitstarz, Space Casino, King Billy
Casino, Betstreak, Dasist Casino, Play Casino, and Queen Spin.

SoftSwiss began in 2008 as a provider of online auction software but branched
out into iGaming in 2012, and it’s now known primarily for Bitcoin software.
SoftSwiss does provide some specific games, and it also manages customer service
activities.

Eligibility to Register and Play for Real Money

Megawins promotes that players must be 18 and over and from a legally
authorized area of residence. Anyone from Spain, the United Kingdom or the
United States are restricted from playing any of the games for real money, even
using Bitcoin.

Megawins uses a variety of software providers so does have some additional
game-specific geographical restrictions that we’ll note in just a bit when we
break down the casino games.

Colorful and User-Friendly Website

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we feel that megawins.com is an all
around attractive and quality website. It does have a more cartoon-like feel
that, for some sites, doesn’t work out well but, in this case, it fits.

If we weren’t going to provide you with this entire review and wanted just to
give you a one-sentence overview instead, it would be that Megawins offers a
huge number of games in an entirely user-friendly environment whether you opt to
use Bitcoin or another more traditional method of deposit.

Casino and Live Casino Only

Links to all of the different areas are provided on the left including the
promotions and currently available tournaments. Megawins doesn’t offer a poker
room, sportsbook, or racebook. There technically is a live casino, but it’s only
available to players in certain areas, and it’s not exactly overflowing with
tables as there are only four and they’re all roulette, so the term live casino
may be a stretch.

Multiple Software Providers

Many times you’ll see sites labeled as a Betsoft Casino or a Microgaming site
and players are aware that games are provided by that one particular software
provider. With Megawins, customers are treated to a custom experience. Megawins
uses a dozen different suppliers to fill a library of games that are quite
extensive. In some regions, over 600 regular slot titles alone are up for the
choosing.

Betsoft and NetEnt, two of the bigger game designers, are featured, but
others include Pocketdice, Amatic, Booming Games, Endorphina, Game Art,
Habanero, iSoftBet, MrSlotty, SoftSwiss, and Next Gen.

The Little Extras That Can Be Helpful

Using a variety of gaming providers is one of those little extras that make a
difference, but if you’re new to Megawins, you’ll also find a handy FAQ section
as well as running tally of the most recently issued prizes, both large and
small. The winners scroll across the homepage, so you feel like you’ve also got
a chance at an actual payout. If you need help at any time, there is a live chat
button, but we will say that it took us about two hours to get an initial
response, so consider it to be more of an email service rather than instant
chat.

Don’t Confuse It with Megawin

There is a megawin.com and just dropping that “s” takes you from this
particular casino, hosted at megawins.com, to a lottery subscription site.

The Casino

As Megawins isn’t providing a sportsbook or other alternative forms of
gaming, its focus is entirely on casino games and, depending on the area in
which you live; you could select anywhere from 165 to 686 different slot games
alone.

If you’re in a restricted region, you can still play the games for free, but
real money betting will not be available to you.

Game variety

Slots take center stage, and by using a dozen different gaming companies, the
slot library is very diverse and includes a minimum of 18 jackpot games

Audio and video quality

The video slot quality is exceptional, but some games will offer a better
playing experience over others depending on the individual software.

Mobile Casino

he majority of games are available for mobile play on smartphones and
tablets. In one region where 165 slot games were hosted on the full site, 146
transferred over for mobile access.

Geographical Restrictions

In the beginning, we did mention that game availability depends on exactly
where the player resides, and some specific exclusions are noted that we wanted
to pass along should you be interested in trying out the Megawins service.

Remember residents of Spain, the UK, and the US are prohibited from any real
money wagering on this site. So, even though they aren’t explicitly mentioned,
if you live in one of those three countries, you need to look else for an online
casino unless you just want to play for fun.

You are restricted from playing any of the NetEnt games like the Live Casino
versions but also from any jackpot games offered by NetEnt including the popular
Mega Fortune top prize if you live in any of the following countries:

• Afghanistan
• Albania
• Algeria
• Angola
• Australia
• Azerbaijan
• Belgium
• Bulgaria
• Cambodia
• Canada
• China
• Denmark
• Ecuador
• Estonia
• France
• Guyana
• Hong Kong
• India
• Indonesia
• Iran
• Iraq
• Israel
• Italy
• Japan
• Kuwait
• Lao
• Latvia
• Lithuania
• Malaysia
• Mexico
• Myanmar
• Namibia
• Nicaragua
• North Korea
• Pakistan
• Panama
• Papua New Guinea
• Philippines
• Portugal
• Qatar
• Romania
• Russia
• Singapore
• South Korea
• Sudan
• Syria
• Taiwan
• Thailand
• Tunisia
• Turkey
• Uganda
• Ukraine
• Yemen
• Zimbabwe

Slots

You’ll usually find that an i-Casino will divide up their slots into
different categories like three-reel, five-reel, and video. That’s not the case
with Megawins. All of the slot games are in one section with the jackpot
versions sectioned out for easy access

As we’ve mentioned, you’re going to have a different service depending on
where you live. In some areas, if you pull up the slot menu, you’ll see 165
titles. In Canada, it increases to 422, and head over to Sweden and you’re
looking at a whopping 686.

If you’ve been on a Betsoft, NetEnt, or NextGen gaming site, you’ll more than
likely recognize many of the games, but you’ll also see some new ones that you
probably haven’t come across before, courtesy of the other software companies
that add to the entire collection.

The most favorite games are:

• The Exterminator
• The Tipsy Tourist
• Safari Sam
• Voo Doo
• 2016 Gladiators
• Dynasty
• Batman
• Slotomoji
• Platoon Wild Progressive
• Paranormal Activity
• Rooks Revenge
• Emoji Slot
• Kings of Chicago
• Wild Wild West
• Legend of Qu Yuan
• Mongol Treasures
• Goal!!!
• Crime Scene
• Red Dog
• Heavy Metal Warriors
• Beverly Hills
• Starburst
• Jimi Hendrix
• Football: Champions Cup
• DaVinci Codex
• Zombies
• Guns ‘n Roses
• Eye of Ra

Jackpot Slots

Just as a quick disclaimer, you may look at our number of games and wonder if
we’ve ever learned to count but, again, the entire Megawins service varies with
each geographical area so we’re going to provide an average game count and just
a few specific titles that you may find.

Most of the jackpot action is also available for mobile play. Keep in mind
that NetEnt titles may show up when you pull up the casino but, review the list
of areas we provided because NetEnt games and jackpot awards are not issued in
certain regions, even if the games still show up on your screen.

A few Jackpot choices:

• At the Copa
• Mega Gems
• Slots Angels
• Mega Glam Life
• Good Girl Bad Girl
• Greedy Goblins
• Mr. Vegas

Video Poker – 17 (two on Mobile)

This site has a great video poker section featuring some of the newer
offerings, but it’s a shame that more of them aren’t available for mobile play.

These are the two games that you can play on smartphones or tablets:

• New Joker Pro Touch
• Five Play Draw Multihand
• Deuces Wild Double Up
• Joker Pro
• Match Times Pay – Jacks or Better

encompasses 26 Blackjack, Roulette, and other games.

• Roulette Touch
• Roulette
• French Roulette

• Roulette Mini
• Triple Bonus Spin

Live Casino – 5

NetEnt and ComTrade
Gaming provide the five-selection live dealer experience. The quantity is
small, but the variety is decent.

• Live Blackjack
• Common Draw
• VIP
• The Palaces Live Roulette
• The Palaces Live Blackjack

Bingo

If you’re familiar with Palatial Leisure’s land-based bingo clubs, you would
expect that its websites would be bingo crazy with all kinds of promotions and
different themed rooms, but the company took a different approach with The
Palaces, as it already has other dedicated bingo sites.

The focus is on the casino, so the bingo area is streamlined with three main
sessions:

• Golden Scoop – £5,000 – .25 ticket
• Silver Scoop – £2,000 – .25 ticket
• Bronze Scoop – £2,000 – .25 ticket

You can play on the full site or mobile and pre-order games on either as
well.

The scoop jackpot is awarded if bingo is in 43 numbers or less and the bingo
lobby lists the schedule of upcoming games.

Banking Options

We always like to see a nice concise fully disclosed table of deposit and
withdrawal options as well as any turnaround times and fees that may be
associated. Megawins is set up to be auto adaptive (where everything changes
depending on geography) including registration, the games that can be played (or
not), the bonuses, and the ever important financial options.

Now, if you’re using Bitcoin, which we’re sure many of you will since this is
primarily a Bitcoin casino, you’re all set. No fees are added, and Bitcoin can
be used for deposits and withdrawals with ease. The minimum Bitcoin deposit is
only one mBTC, and there are no minimum requirements for withdrawals.

We contacted Megawins Customer Service department to obtain accurate
information regarding the other options available to players that don’t want to
use Bitcoin, and we were told that they would vary as each player is provided
with customized options.

The following are the methods they did confirm as being widely accepted,
though. The customer service agent did note that the only method that has
significant fees attached was the bank transfer.

Bonuses and Promotions

Because there isn’t a separate sportsbook or poker room, all bonuses apply to
all players. However, some geographical restrictions vary depending on the type
of award so, if you’re thinking of registering, we recommend verifying that
you’re eligible for all of the value-adds that peak your interest.

110% Welcome Bonus

This is a one-time offer that applies to the first deposit made by a newly
registered player. There’s a minimum deposit requirement of 40
mBTC or €25, and the maximum award is €150 or one BTC. Megawins does impose
a hefty rollover mandate of 35 times on the bonus amount before anything can be
cashed out.

50% 2nd Deposit Bonus

The same rollover requirement applies, but this award is only good for 50% of
the deposited amount up to €150 or two BTC.

25% 3rd Deposit Bonus

You can see how it’s decreasing, but new players still do receive some reward
on their first three deposits. This 3rd deposit bonus is for 25% of the amount
put into the player’s account up to €150 or one BTC.

25 No Deposit Free Spins

25 free spins are awarded after an initial deposit of at least €25 is made.
Free spins need to be used within 24 hours after they’re issued and, as they are
considered to be a no deposit bonus, they have a 40 times rollover requirement
on the winnings and the maximum payout is €30 or 50 mBTC.

Slots Cashback Money

To qualify, you need to have lost but only €.10 or .10mBTC, so that’s not too
bad, right? The cashback offer is 15% on your losses and is applied
automatically. There’s more good news, though, to offset your not so good loss,
as the cashback award only has a five-times play through requirement.

Lottery

Click the lottery menu item from the left side list to see if a new drawing
is coming up. It’s a €1,000 monthly payout reward.

Monthly Slots Tournament

12 times a year players can get in on the €3,000 prize pool simply by playing
their favorite slot games. The top prize is €1,000, and the other nine top-ten
payouts include €500, €300, €250, €200, €175, €125, €100, €75 and 150 free spins
pro, and €60 and 150 free spins pro. There’s a leaderboard posted in the
tournament area so you can scope out your competition.

VIP Program

The Mega Points program is a seven-tier loyalty club where players have
automatically opted into the first tier without any status point prerequisites.
Mega points that are earned, move players up the levels of the program and
points can be exchanged for money. Once you get to the top tier, the Zen Master
status which takes 25,000 points, you get three days of 15% cash back as well as
100% deposit match until you’ve reached a bonus maximum of one Bitcoin. There is
a dedicated hostess listed in the VIP area for specific program questions or
assistance.

Customer Support

• Customer Support department availability – Live Chat only

Because of the lack of deposit and withdrawal options front and center, we
did have the opportunity to use Megawins’ live chat customer support service.
The site doesn’t list an email address or phone number, so its clients do need
to rely on the chat function.

Customer service is provided by SoftSwiss, the company responsible for the
operations and technology end of things and, although the agent was
knowledgeable and extremely friendly, it took nearly two hours to receive a
reply.

Now, we will say that if you use the chat and it happens to be backed up like
it apparently was when we accessed it; you do get an option to leave your email
address. That way, your answer can be sent to you, so you don’t need to stare at
your computer screen afraid to walk away and miss the reply you’ve been
anxiously awaiting. It seems odd, though, that a live chat that is supposed to
be instantly answered would take hours to come through with a response.

We’d much rather just have an email address, so we know what we’re in for and
don’t expect an answer within a few minutes.

Summary

We would have to have hundreds of reviews to accurately provide you with a
list of services that Megawins provides to you, specifically. Everything is
customized according to location.

Unfortunately, players from the US, UK, and Spain are prohibited from
wagering any real money on megawins.com. Other regions vary regarding financial
options, bonuses, and specific game titles available for play, as well as
whether or not a live casino is available or not.

The slots area, even if you’re being offered the smallest catalog of games,
is quite impressive. We’re fans of using multiple software providers so that
players have a better selection and aren’t tied to just one type of game, like
it or not.

Bitcoin is an excellent funding alternative for online gaming, and it’s a
credit to Megawins that it opted to focus on Bitcoin but still allow for other
players to come aboard if they haven’t embraced the cryptocurrency phenomenon.

Bonuses are not the greatest. The 35 to 40 times rollover detracts from
otherwise decent offers, but we do like that tournaments and some alternative
promotions are also available.

If you’re a slot or video poker player, you’ll probably enjoy the quantity
and quality of service provided. Table game players aren’t quite as catered to,
but poker players who are fine not being in a dedicated live poker room, also
have quite a few options at their disposal.

Verdict

Megawins is a great casino for slot and video poker players. The focus on
Bitcoin for financial transactions makes it easier for players to fund their
accounts, regardless of their location, and there are plenty of other options to
appease non-Bitcoin users as well. The bonus programs are lacking, but if you’re
looking for a good simple go to for casino game play with a straightforward,
simple, and upscale website to use, you may want to give Megawins a try.
