Canbet Casino
was a relatively new name to me a few months ago but I signed up and have become a regular player and bearing in mind how many
online casinos I have tried, that's relatively good testimony I feel! I was surprised to see the outfit is operated out of
Australia, although it has the suitable licences required for the UK, and it also operates a sportsbook and poker room.
The casino uses the market-leading Microgaming software suite, in this case with nearly 400 casino games available across a broad
spectrum. Built into the download client is also a Slot Tournament module and a Live Dealer offering, the latter of which, like
the casino itself, can also be accessed via a stand-alone Flash client. At the moment, Live Dealer games are limited to Baccarat
(zero commission, dragon bonus or lucky pair) and European Roulette (single zero roulette) although Blackjack is due very
shortly along with a Blackjack tournaments module.
For the main
Canbet casino software itself, it would take far too long to list all the games, but you can pretty much mention
a game and it's here. The slots choice is huge with both regular 3-reel slots and well over 100 video slots, there are a
multitude of video poker options including all sorts of bonus games in different formats and a huge range of table, card and
traditional casino games. There are some 30 different Blackjack games alone!
I've had the good fortune of a big win at Canbet, cashing out over £12,000 from a good run on my favourite Thunderstruck slot, so
I can vouch for the cashout process. As with any casino, they will ask you for ID which is simply a photo of your passport
and a utiulity bill or bank statement (for address verification), which I photographed on my phone and emailed them.
This is the same at
every online casino when you hit a
significant win and to stop fraud. It's also a requirement of UK whitelist regulation. Anyway, this took under 24 hours for
them to verify and I was surprised to see the cash in my UK bank account within 48 hours of that. They must have a UK
bank account, because for an online casino outside of the big UK brands, when you
compare casinos, that's very quick.
My account also has a £2,000 a week deposit limit set by default which you can request to be changed. For depositing and
cashing out then all the usual debit and credit cards will work (even Maestro!) although often you will find a Mastercard
won't - at a lot of online casinos. Nervous banks! Depends where your Mastercard is issued. Alternatively Canbet casino
accepts Neteller, Moneybookers, UDPay, Entropay, Instadebi and even Malaysia myDebit or China Direct Debit Card! So there
you go. I would add that initially I found the banking system a little confusing because it caters for their sportsbook, casino
and poker room so that you can switch funds around, but I got it after a few minutes!
My Verdict:
Canbet casino wouldn't be here on Casino UK if it wasn't a casino with a good reputation, but I can back
that up now and have found service generally good, cashouts fast and of course, being a Microgaming casino, great games.
Being very similar to
32Red casino and
Ladbrokes casino, which would I choose? Well, there's little to seperate them to be honest,
all being good so I have all 3 on my computer. Canbet is a little quicker to pay than 32Red and has the added advantage of a
sportsbook which I like from time to time, but otherwise, all 3 are as good as each other.
