Yoju casino review

Yoju casino bonus

One of the first things that players check at new casino sites are the bonuses and promotions. Yoju has many of them including a welcome bonus and high roller welcome package. But, not that they’re great. The high wagering requirements are nothing to be proud of, and some bonuses are only available to VIPs.

Like most online casinos in Canada, the welcome bonus is large and spread across several of your initial deposits. It may give you up to C$2,000 in bonus funds and 225 free spins, but it doesn’t matter as the wagering is set very high.

The average decent wagering requirements are around 30x or lower. At Yoju casino, your deposit and bonus should be wagered 40 times which is almost impossible to complete. Then there are even worse terms when you take a deeper look; for example, slots may contribute 100% to the wagering requirements, but slots with the Bonus Buy feature contribute only 5%. That’s why it’s best to skip the welcome bonus altogether and wait for a better offer.

If you ask us, the casino could have gone with a smaller package or a no deposit bonus with fair wagering requirements – somewhere in the area of 20x-30x max. That would make it a lot more attractive rather than getting a large bonus which is impossible to wager.

Bonus terms

The Yoju casino welcome bonus terms are not precisely transparent in all areas. For example, the casino doesn’t mention anything about the time to complete wagering. It should be 30 days, but the casino should come up front with it. While the bonus covers your first 3 deposits, it offers a secret package 4^th one. It can be a good offer, but we doubt it’s any better than the first three.

In terms of maximum bet, it’s set at C$9 which is decent. But, we think that the casino should push it up to C$10 to make the offer more appealing. On the positive side, no payment methods are excluded from the welcome offer.

There are many better welcome packages out there. Yoju’s offer is only good when it comes to the first deposit. If you stop there, you might have time to complete the wagering and keep what you win.

Promotions for existing customers

Existing customers will find Yoju casino’s regular promotions appealing until they check the terms. The wagering for these bonuses is still high, and additionally, some of them are only available to VIPs.

Most of the offers are on a rolling period like a week, so expect plenty of cashback. The free spins that come in addition to some of them are not a good idea too, as the ads are misleading. There might be 165 free spins to claim, but they are spread across several offers, not a one-time batch of free games.

If you’re in to win more extra cash, you can take part in the casino’s regular tournaments. No need to bring the menu up. Regardless of which section you’re browsing, there’s a tiny sword icon on the right side next to the slider which you can click to bring the tournaments up. It displays all the information about the current going tournament and allows you to join with a click. Clever.

The casino can do a lot to improve the wagering requirements and types of bonuses on offer. Some no deposit/no wager spins would be a great addition, although to be fair, that’s sometimes a bit too much to ask.

VIP program

Yoju casino’s VIP program is available to all players. As the casino says, it’s tailored to suit every player’s needs. Instead of being a point-based program, you apply for membership. Once you’re in, you collect points for every bet on any game in the casino. There are several levels to jump across in addition to a VIP high roller on your first deposit (if you choose to activate it).

Since you can opt to register with the VIP club, it’s best to check the terms for each bonus and gift you get yourself. That should give you an understanding if becoming a VIP member is worth it.

Unfortunately, that’s not often the case. Yoju’s VIP membership is not helping the overall look of exclusive VIP clubs, so you might be better off without it.

Casino games

In game terms, Yoju casino is missing almost nothing. The casino has so far partnered with more than 80 providers, including the likes of NetEnt, Play’n GO, NoLimit City, and more. The game library is decently organized, with tabs for the different game types and a few specials for tournaments that the casino hosts often.

Slots are the most popular game in the lobby as expected, but you should browse it in depth to find other fun games. There’s definitely no shortage, and the best part is that you can browse certain games such as slots by feature or provider. The filters work well enough, and you also have a search bar you can use to find the best games instantly.

For those interested in crypto games, click on the tab to bring all Provably Fair titles up. While browsing the library, the casino will display a bigger tab that shows its new exclusive games. In that way, you’ll always be in touch with any updates, so you can play the best exclusive games hot out of the oven.

We can’t say a bad thing about Yoju’s casino lobby. It’s neatly organized and easy to browse, and has more games than you’ll ever need. An additional plus in our book is that you can try the demos for free as a guest, meaning you don’t need an account.

Live dealer games

You can play a wide range of live blackjack, live roulette, and other live dealer games in Yoju’s live casino. It has a separate tab so you won’t find these titles in the main lobby. Just like it, the live casino lobby has separate categories for the different games which we think is great.

Alternatively, you can use filters to sort the games in another order and play your favorites.

If you’re a big live casino fan, you probably love seeing bonuses for these games. Unfortunately, you won’t see them in Yoju casino, which we think is a big miss. Live casino games can be fun and more so with a bonus, so it would be best if the casino thinks about it soon/

Banking

Yoju casino has a long list of payment methods you can use to make deposits and withdrawals. The website accepts both fiat money and cryptocurrency payments, appealing to both camps equally. In terms of variety, you have everything from credit/debit cards via e-wallets and prepaid cards to cryptos.

Deposits

Yoju casino deposits are made on the Cashier page and are instant for all options. The casino charges no fees and accepts CAD, so you don’t have to worry about currency conversion fees.

Deposit/Withdrawal method	Limits
	C$10 – C$4,000
	C$20 – C$4,000
	C$20 – C$4,000
	C$20 – C$4,000
	C$10 – C$2,500
	C$10 – C$4,000
	C$10 – C$4,000
	C$20 – C$40,000
	/

It’s a bit surprising to see that Interac’s not on the list, and we hope it gets added soon. But, Canadian players have plenty of alternatives in the form of MuchBetter, Neteller, Skrill, and even Siru for micro mobile deposits that new players will be fond of.

Payouts

Withdrawals at Yoju are processed on the deposit option you used previously. If there’s no such option, an alternative will be offered. Most digital options enjoy instant withdrawals, while bank transfers are much slower.

Deposit/Withdrawal method	Limits	Payout Time
	C$200 – C$4,000	3 – 5 days
	C$20 – C$4,000	0 – 2 days
	C$20 – C$4,000	0 – 2 days
	C$20 – C$4,000	Instant
	C$20 – C$4,000	0 – 2 days
	C$20 – C$4,000	0 – 2 days
	C$50 – C$4,000	Instant

The maximum withdrawal amount varies. If the payout request exceeds that amount, it will be split in several payments. The weekly withdrawal limit is C$4,000 for new players, which will be increased for VIPs. Withdrawals are processed Monday to Friday, and all progressive jackpot wins are paid in full.

• Weekly limit: C$5,000

Is Yoju Casino reliable?

Yoju can be more transparent when it comes to its games rather than just resting on its Provably Fair laurels. The good news is that it enjoys a decent reputation online, with most real user comments being overall positive.

The SSL encryption makes your data safe, but the Curacao license doesn’t instill belief. Until the casino reassures us with an RNG certificate, we can’t vouch for the fairness of the games fully.

Customer support

Yoju casino covers all the bases when it comes to customer support. The representatives speak English and can be contacted via email or live chat. The former is a much more responsive option, with most replies written in seconds or minutes.

The casino has a detailed FAQ page that answers the most common questions. It also has separate crypto payment guides which we appreciate.

Final verdict

Yoju is a colorful addition to the Canadian iGaming market that looks more than decent on paper. The casino has created a backstory with the cute Yojus and invites everyone to join them in Yojuing. While that’s certainly a strange choice of words, it helps the casino’s light-hearted agenda and the promise of fun and entertainment.

If you look closer, though, the disadvantages seem to pop up. It’s not as transparent as it could be, and the Curacao license is not ideal. The bonus terms are unfair too, so we suggest treading lightly.
