CasinoFest Casino review

CasinoFest Casino bonus

The welcome package for new players at CasinoFest covers you three initial deposits. On your first and third deposit you get a match bonus percentage, while on the second one is only a 50% match, but on top of the bonus funds you also get a huge number of free spins. The minimum deposit required to be eligible for the bonuses is C$10, which is great for casual players. The free spins are credited to your account in sets of 20 a day over 20 days and they need to be claimed within 24 hours from the time they are available.

While the welcome package seems favorable and generous at first glance, when taking into account the bonus term, the offer becomes unfavorable for players and even unacceptable. We recommend you thoroughly review these details before considering depositing and activating a bonus.

Bonus terms

The wagering requirements are favorable, since the multiplier is low and it only applies to the bonus funds, and not both the bonus and your deposit. However, the maximum bet calculated towards completing the wagering requirements is below the market average. Combined with the short time frame it may present a difficulty to complete the wagering requirements. And while the wagering requirements are favorable, it’s the accompanying terms that make the offer unacceptable. Most other online casinos have higher maximum bet limits and their bonuses are valid for 30 days.

All games from any category contribute 100% of the wager towards completing the wagering requirements, except specific games listed in the casino’s terms and conditions tab.

Promotions for existing customers

CasinoFest’s promotion section primarily centers around slot tournaments and live events. A busy weekly tournament calendar offers plenty of opportunities to win substantial cash prizes. The platform offers multiple options for obtaining free spins, but most of the bonus offers are tied to the invite only VIP program or received through promotional emails.

CasinoFest’s approach to promotions may resonate more with players who appreciate a simpler and more focused experience. There’s certainly room for improvement. It would be welcomed to see several options for reload bonuses that accommodate both weekend players and those who prefer playing on weekdays, along with the addition of cashback bonuses and bonuses tailored for live casino game enthusiasts. These additions would contribute to a more balanced and comprehensive selection.

VIP program

The VIP Program at CasinoFest is invite only. The process is based on the individual activity and frequency of gameplay of each player, which is constantly reviewed by the casino’s VIP team. Only the most dedicated and loyal players will be invited into the VIP program. Once you have fulfilled the requirements, your VIP account manager will invite you to one of the three VIP tiers according to your activity within the last month: Bronze, Gold or Diamond.

Each level comes with various benefits like higher bonuses, lower wagering requirements, faster withdrawals, personalized cashback deals and various birthday and personal celebratory gifts.

Note that if that activity isn’t maintained within the next month, you may lose your level temporarily and have to level up again.

Make sure you indicate a preferable communication option available for the casino to reach you if you wish to participate in the VIP program.

Overall, we don’t find CasinoFest’s VIP program to be beneficial to most players. This is mainly due to its invite only nature and the lack of transparency regarding the requirements needed to achieve VIP status. Furthermore, the benefits of the program are also not stated on the casino’s website.

Casino games

The main focus of CasinoFest’s game offers are slots. The platform features over 1,000 carefully selected titles sourced from 42 well-established providers. A selection of progressive jackpots, magaways slots and table games is also available, however, they are less prominent even for a small-sized online casino.

Overall, the platform has a pleasant design with a fun Rock Festival theme, it’s easy to navigate, with decent game filters for player convenience.

Popular and recognizable developers featured on the list of providers at CasinoFest include: Hacksaw Gaming, Northern Lights, Play’n GO, Pragmatic Play, Quckspin, Relax Gaming, Swintt, Yggdrasil and more.

Live dealer games

As slots are the primary offer at CasinoFest, the live dealer section is somewhat limited. You can find a selection of blackjack, roulette and baccarat tables, however poker games are not featured. There is a small selection of live games shows too.

All live dealer games are sorted in their respective categories and are easy to access.

The live dealer section at CasinoFest is powered by the renowned Pragmatic Play Live.

Banking

CasinoFest offers half a dozen reliable and popular banking methods, as well as many local options for Canadian players. You can deposit and withdraw using credit cards, e-banking, e-wallets and vouchers, however, crypto currencies are not accepted. Banking is fast and easy and without any fees to the casino.

Deposits

The minimum deposit limit is C$10 for all banking options, and with that you are eligible for all the casino bonuses, which is excellent for casual players. The maximum deposit limit is C$10,000 per transaction for nearly all available options. Your deposit is instantly transferred to your account.

Deposit method	Limits
	C$10 – C$10,000
	C$10 – C$10,000
	C$10 – C$3,000
	C$10 – C$10,000
	C$10 – C$10,000
	C$10 – C$10,000

Plenty of local options are available, all with generous and flexible limits.

Payouts

The minimum withdrawal limit is C$10, while the maximum limit is C$5,000 per transaction for all available options. Your withdrawal requests will be processed within a day and payment is initiated instantly.

Withdrawal method	Limits	Payout time
	C$10 – C$5,000	1 – 3 days
	C$10 – C$5,000	1 – 3 days
	C$10 – C$5,000	1 – 2 days
	C$10 – C$5,000	Instant
	C$10 – C$5,000	0 – 3 days
	C$10 – C$5,000	0 – 3 days

For withdrawals larger than C$2,000 the casino will ask you to verify your account and your identity. Where possible, all withdrawals are processed to the payment account from which the deposits were originally made. Requests that exceed a particular payment limit will be paid in installments. We find the monthly withdrawal limit to be low and that may discourage high rollers.

• Daily limit: C$5,000
• Weekly limit: N/A
• Monthly limit: C$25,000

The withdrawal requests have a pending period of one day during which the casino reviews and processes the withdrawal request before initiating the payment. This means that once a withdrawal request is made, the casino will take one day to review and approve the transaction before the funds are released.

It’s important to note that the pending period is separate from the actual payment processing time. After the pending period, the casino will initiate the payment, and the time it takes for the funds to reach your account will depend on the chosen withdrawal method.

Is CasinoFest Casino reliable?

CasinoFest is a recently launched online platform licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority. It is managed by BP Group Ltd. which also operates seven other reputable online casinos. CasinoFest ensures the safety and fairness of all its games, featuring titles from top industry developers that meet high standards. The platform employs modern SSL encryption technology as a standard security measure, safeguarding sensitive data transmitted between players and the casino. This encryption ensures a secure environment, protecting information from unauthorized access.

Acquiring a local license will significantly improve CasinoFest’s current rating, as well as its trustworthiness. However, due to its short tenure and mixed user reviews, we rate it with 3.5 out of 5 security points.

Customer support

A standard customer support service is available at CasinoFest reachable via email or through the 24/7 live chat. It is easily accessible from the live chat icon on the main menu.

The FAQs section can be found at the bottom of the casino’s website, providing sufficient information on various subjects including registering, account verification, bonuses, banking and more.

Final verdict

CasinoFest is a reliable online gaming platform that prioritizes safety and offers a diverse game selection, despite its smaller size. It may be more appealing to players who prefer a bonus-free experience, as the welcome package comes with a low maximum bet limit, making it unfavorable for new players. So, if you’re looking for a straightforward and immersive slot gaming experience without the added noise of promotional content, CasinoFest might be the ideal choice. The low deposit available for all banking options is great for casual players, but low withdrawal limits may deter high rollers.
