LynxBet casino review

LynxBet casino bonus

LynxBet presents players with three welcome bonuses to start with. Most Canadian casinos have just one – a 100% first deposit bonus up to C$100 or something of the sorts. You have two such bonuses on registration here, plus a free spins bonus offer on sign up for a low first deposit. We’re not sure if that’s a good thing. New players might be confused by the initial bonuses, not knowing which one to pick.

Of course, you can only pick one option, so you can’t claim all three and try them to see which one works best. The welcome bonuses are in line with what the industry offers. The wagering requirements are decent overall, but we think it’s better for the casino to stick to one bonus instead of a few.

Bonus terms

The bonus terms for the welcome packages are decent. In our experience, too many online casinos in Canada keep the terms intentionally bad, but at LynxBet, you can expect decent wagering requirements at 35x. Since the bonuses differs, so do they terms when speaking about the minimum deposit. For example, you need a deposit of at least C$7.5 after signing up for the 50 free spins, while the C$150/C$1,500 bonuses are available with minimum deposits of C$15/C$150. The extra free spins also require covering a portion of your deposit.

Our verdict on the bonus terms is that they’re fair, yet unintentionally complicated because there are three options to pick from. It results in a full page with separate terms for each bonus that might further confuse new players. LynxBet can do better in this department, and be more transparent for some terms such as the maximum bet limit which is just mentioned, but not stated in full.

Promotions for existing customers

If you take a look at the promotions page, you’ll find a few promotions for loyal players and a few tournaments. We have to be honest here – we expected more. The existing customer promotions mostly stick to cashbacks, free spins, and weekend raffles at the moment. All other offers are network promotions and similar rewards which aren’t exactly exciting.

We think that LynxBet can do much better in this department with more bonuses and fair terms. But, overall, the bonuses looks solid if unspectacular.

VIP program

The loyalty program at LynxBet begins the moment you join. Each wager brings you loyalty points that can take you up from one level to another. We don’t like it when a casino doesn’t share information about the VIP club. That should be a given so players who stay and play know what they’re in for.

Of course, more information will be provided when you sign up and become a member of the exclusive club. But, it’s much better when you know everything before you turn a VIP, including the points conversion rate which isn’t the case here.

Casino games

LynxBet has paired with some of the biggest developers on the market. As a result, the casino has thousands of games with great variety in game type and genre. You can play slots for free or real money by studios such as NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, and NoLimit City among others, or choose RNG and live casino table and card games. In short, it has everything you need.

The game lobby is decently organized with various filters to make things easier. What we love is a banner on top of the lobby that features each month’s top 5 games. If you’re always looking for hits to play, this is what we’d click on.

What LynxBet can do better in the future is increase the number of providers and games. That should come naturally, of course, so we’re sure that in just a short time the casino will put things under control.

Live dealer games

Live dealer games are the essence of online casinos nowadays. More and more players love the streams which perfectly capture the atmosphere of a land-based casino. LynxBet’s live casino does everything by the book, offering the top live blackjack, live baccarat, live roulette games, and game shows developed by Evolution Gaming.

The new and most popular games are listed first so you don’t lose sight of them. Everything’s covered nicely, and the same filters apply to the live casino for easier gameplay.

The only thing missing here are live casino bonuses. If LynxBet casino adds them to its arsenal soon, it would have an unbeatable live casino offer.

Banking

LynxBet is one of the rising hybrid-payment casinos out there. It means that it accepts both fiat money payment methods and cryptocurrencies. More importantly, it accepts CAD, meaning you can deposit and withdraw without currency conversion fees.

All the top payment options are there including the likes of Visa, Mastercard, Interac, and Bitcoin. The minimum required deposit in the casino is C$5, although most providers only accept min. deposits of C$10.

Deposits

All of the deposits at LynxBet are made on your account page. It’s very easy to complete your first deposit – just pick an option you want to use after registration, enter the desired amount, and click on deposit. No fees are charged on these transactions, and they’re completed instantly. And safely, of course, thanks to the casino’s SSL encryption.

	C$10 – C$15,000
	C$10 – C$15,000
	C$10 – C$15,000

The maximum deposit limit varies from one payment method to another. All deposits are instant, so Canadians will most likely stick to familiar payment methods including the likes in Interac and Visa for deposits as they’re convenient and easy to use.

Payouts

Withdrawals at LynxBet are automatically sent to the deposit method you used before. If you want to use another option, you’ll have to talk to the support agents. The minimum withdrawal is set at C$10 which is in line with what the industry accepts. The maximum is set at C$10,000 per month which isn’t ideal for high rollers.

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

	C$10 – C$15,000	0 – 2 days
	C$10 – C$15,000	0 – 2 days

	C$15 – C$15,000	Instant

The most flexible and fastest withdrawal option would be cryptocurrencies. However, what the casino fails to mention on the withdrawal page is that it takes 2 days for each withdrawal request to be processed, after which you’ll get your money. That’s different from the actual payment processor’s withdrawal time. So, for example, if you use Visa, you’ll wait for 2 days for the casino and then up to 6 to receive your money, bringing the total to 8 days.

The monthly limits are plainly unacceptable. Maybe the casino offers higher limits for VIPs, but for regular players, C$10,000 per month is not OK. On top of that, the casino charges fees on withdrawals under C$500 and over it, which is never a good thing.

• Monthly limit: C$10,000

Is LynxBet reliable?

That’s the million-dollar question. We gave the casino a lower security rating as it’s not honest about VIP and withdrawal terms and the fees it charges on withdrawals which is so 2005. On top of that, it’s licensed by the Isle of Man. We all know it’s a popular gambling destination, but in our experience, it doesn’t hold the same merit as LynxBet. The lack of RNG certificates and a relatively unknown owner have also influenced our security rating.

There’s a lot of work to be done on transparency and the licensing department. For now, we can’t give it our full recommendation.

Customer support

The customer support options at LynxBet are straightforward. You get your typical 24/7 English-speaking live chat agents along with an email and an average FAQ page.

While it’s not bad, the FAQ page is all text and no flow, so it’s kind of hard to read. The website should maybe do it in a menu style so it gets better.

Final verdict

LynxBet is an OK casino, but not more beyond that. It has to improve in terms of transparency, such as saying more about the VIP club up front. The three welcome bonuses are solid, but a bit of a hard choice for new players.

Adding fuel to the fire are the Isle of Man license and the withdrawal fees. We think there are much better casinos out there you should explore, so don’t stick to it.
