Red Dog Casino Review: 

Red Dog Casino is a new addition to the online gambling community. They use RealTime Gaming software and have quick deposit and withdrawal options. Read this review to find out everything about them.

Red Dog Casino: A Newcomer Aiming at the Top

During the past few years, there were several first-of-its-kind events that hardly can be ignored. Mahershala Ali became the first Muslim to win an Oscar for acting. Apple became the first company to be worth $1 trillion. And now, there’s a first-ever casino which is co-owned by a dog.

Established in February 2019, Red Dog Casino entered the online gambling community as a casino which allows access to players from the United States. If you go through their Terms and conditions (or the FAQ section), you’ll find a list of around 20 restricted countries. But, as the United States and Australia aren’t among them, this casino represents one of the few gambling havens for residents of these two countries.

When you enter their website for the first time, Red, their dog mascot, greets you and guides you through the casino he jokingly co-owns. They’ve opted for a design with red and white as the dominant colors. It’s a modern website design, with a clear, scrollable home page from which you can navigate to all the important sections. The FAQ section, Terms and Conditions, About Us, Banking — all these pages are just one click away. Some games are listed on the home page, while you can find all of them on a separate page, where they are split into various categories.

We’ve been impressed with the registration process. When you click the ‘Sign Up’ button a simple registration form pops up. You’ll be able to access your account right from the get-go, with no need to wait for approval or confirmation via email. Of course, verification becomes necessary once you start playing with real money, but you can enjoy playing for free to get the feel of the games and the casino. The only available language is English.

Reputation

Although they’ve been around for only two months, they’ve managed to earn a reputation of a credible US-friendly casino. They operate under the license of Curaçao. Curaçao’s licensing body requires a set of standards to be met by their licensees, and they have to keep fulfilling those requirements. The regulating commission also offers to mediate in disputes between casinos and players, if, and when, the two parties fail to come to an agreement on their own.

Bonuses and Promotions

Once you log in, you can go to the cashier section, where you can find all the bonuses on offer. There, below each bonus, you’ll find the exact requirements you need to fulfill before you can ask for a withdrawal, as opposed to having to go through the T&C.

When you join the casino, you’ll be able to claim a 225% match bonus on your first deposit. On top of that, there’s a further 20% bonus if you make a deposit via Bitcoin or Neosurf. The minimum deposit you have to make to be eligible for the bonus is equal to the minimum deposit limit of the payment methods.

The wagering requirements are 35x the amount of your deposit and the amount of the bonus put together. The maximum allowed cashout after this bonus is 30x the deposit. For example, if you’ve put in $50, you’ll be able to withdraw $1500. Moreover, this is not a one-time offer, as you can claim the exact same bonus every time on your first five deposits.

Furthermore, there are other promotions they update daily. They are available to all the players, so you can claim one new bonus each day which is quite commendable.

If you make a deposit of $30, $75, and $150, our buddy Red will respond with a match deposit bonus of 120%, 130%, and 165% respectively. The wagering requirements do not change. Neosurf and Bitcoin users have a better deal on their hands, as the match percentages rise by 25%.

Games and Software

When it comes to games, in Red Dog’s library, you’ll find around 200 games, all powered by RealTime Gaming. Having been around since 1998, RTG is one of the household names in the world of online casino software. Their games come with high functionality and variety, and their modern and slick graphics are pleasing-to-the-eyes.

One of the things that set RealTime Gaming apart is their networked system of progressive jackpots. This means that people from the majority (not all are included) of RTG casinos contribute to the same pot which allows them to play for jackpots often over $1 million. As you would expect, Red Dog Casino is a part of this network.

Once you create an account, you’ll find a lobby which is universal for most RTG-powered casinos. You can play the games directly in your browser via Instant Play, or you can download a client to your computer which offers a more extensive selection of games. The client is available only for Windows users.

There’s also a mobile version of the casino, compatible with Android and iOS devices. They can pride themselves on their mobile version, as almost all RTG games are available for its users which makes their experience even more extensive.

Game Selection

Red Dog casino breaks down the games into four categories — table games, video poker, slots, and specialty games. As you can imagine, most of them, 119 to be exact, belong to the category of slots. If you’re one of the old-school slots fans, you’ll find half a dozen classic three-reelers, including Double Ya Luck, Jumping Beans, and Scuba Fishing. There are more than 100 video slots with five reels and multiple paylines. You’ll be able to enjoy all popular RTG games, such as Asgard, Aztec’s Millions, and Cash Bandits. Is that it? No, it’s not, they also have several slots with six reels — Lucky 6, Super 6, and more.

Furthermore, there are 56 video poker games. But, if you look more closely, you’ll notice that there are actually 14 games with four modes: single-, triple-, ten-, and 52-hand versions. In this section, there are titles which are common in almost every online casino, including Aces & Eights, Jacks or Better, and Deuces Wild.

Next, in line there are table games. There are 15 of those. Baccarat, Blackjack, and Pai Gow Poker are just some of the popular releases you’ll find here. Finally, the last category is specialty games, where you can play 7 games, such as Keno, Craps, and American Roulette.

Even though there are only four categories, you’ll also find a separate tab for new releases and favorite games, which is all tailored for you, according to your gaming history. There’s also a search bar to easily navigate to your favorite title.

Progressives and Live Gaming

As we’ve mentioned before, RTG offers games with progressive jackpots. There are 6 such games at the Red Dog Casino. At the time of writing, the greatest jackpot was tied to Aztec’s Millions, which offered a prize of over $3 million. Other games like Let ‘Em Ride, Megasaur, and Spirit of the Inca all had a jackpot in six digits.

The casino organizes five games with a live dealer. Visionary iGaming provides live games, and you’ll find the following games here: Blackjack, European and American Roulette, Baccarat, and Super 6 Baccarat.

Financial Information

Our fellow Red is a great friend. He decided not to charge any fees for both withdrawing and depositing. Available currencies that can be used playing in the casino are USD, AUD, and EUR. If you make a deposit in any other currency, the casino isn’t responsible for the exchange rates.

When it comes to depositing, there are six payment methods all of which transfer funds instantly. All but one, that is, as Bitcoin can take up to 15 minutes to process. Here’s a list of all the deposit options, together with their minimum and maximum deposit limits:

• Visa: $30–$1000
• MasterCard: $30–$1000
• American Express: $30–$1000
• Bitcoin: $20–$2500
• Instant Gift Card: $25–$500
• Neosurf: $10–$150

On the other hand, as the general practice is, there are fewer withdrawal options — three of them to be exact. There’s a general pending time of 2 business days for the casino to approve the transaction. Depending on the method you choose, the waiting time can vary:

• Bank Wire Transfer: 5 business days
• Credit card: 3–4 business days
• Bitcoin: 1–3 business days

In the worst-case scenario, you’ll have to wait 7 days to receive your funds, which is more than acceptable; especially so if you compare it with the waiting time of the competitors. Red Dog casino team has fixed the maximum withdrawal limit at $2500 per transaction, while the smallest amount you can take out is $150.

Before a withdrawal request goes through, you will need to send a copy of your ID or another personal document to verify your identity. However, no worries here, your data is safe and secure. The casino uses 256-bit SSL encryption technology to make sure all your sensitive and private information remains intact.

Customer Support

The casino offers 24/7 customer service which you can get in touch with via email address, live chat, and a toll-free phone number. Their customer support sets a standard when it comes to how you should treat players. Every time we contacted them, they answered within minutes and they offered all the information we asked for.

Verdict

Red Dog Casino offers a selection of games by RealTime Gaming that are presented in four categories, alongside those with progressive jackpots and live dealers. Their customer service is a joy to work with. The payment options are plentiful enough for all players to have no issues on this matter.

Nevertheless, this US-friendly casino has several points to improve. For instance, having to wait for your balance to reach $150 before you can ask for withdrawal can be an issue for low-rolling players.

All in all, it’s a reputable casino, not to mention one of the best around for players from the United States and Australia. We recommend you take a visit and check them out for yourself.
