Welcome Bonus
Casino Classic has been around since 1999 but is time enough to make it a classic?
It certainly welcomes new players with a wonderful way to say hello.
Sign up today and you get a FREE chance to win a guaranteed million-dollar jackpot plus an extra 40 chances to unlock Mega Vault for only $1 on your first deposit.
But that’s not all.
You will also receive a 100% match bonus of up to $200.
As always there are a couple of things to know before rushing in with your cash.
The main one is that your first and second deposit bonuses are subject to 200 times play-through before you can withdraw any winnings.
This means if you deposit $100 on your second deposit you will need to wager through $20,000 before you can cash out those winnings. A bit of a stretch.
After that subsequent bonuses have a wagering requirement of 30x.
You also need to know that not all games are created equally.
- Slots and Parlor Games count 100% towards wagering requirements.
- Table Poker, Casino War and Sic Bo count 50% towards wagering requirements All Blackjacks except Classic Blackjack, Craps and Baccarat count 10% towards wagering requirements.
- All Video Pokers except All Aces Video Poker, Caribbean Draw Poker, Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker Gold, Triple Action Hold’em Bonus Poker Gold, Classic Blackjack and all Roulettes count 2% towards wagering requirements.
- All Aces Video Poker does not count towards wagering and no loyalty points will be earned when playing.
It’s beyond me why some casinos put such high wagering offers on new sign up deals. But it is a deal that will attract a fair amount of custom just the same.
The average tends to be 40x. This is 200x. This is a lot of spinning and winning before you can get your money out.
Having said that, you do get 41 chances to unlock Mega Vault and after the initial sign up bonuses then future bonuses only have a 30x wagering requirement.
There is also another way of looking at the 200x wagering.
The bonus bet is made up of both your deposit and bonus in the same proportion. Ie if you have a $200 balance that is half cash and half bonus, each bet is made up of 50% money and 50% bonus. Any winnings then go back into the balance in the same way.
This means if you have a good win 50% goes back into real cash and you could forfeit whatever is in the bonus balance by withdrawing the cash element.
The cash component of the balance can be withdrawn at any time but if you do you forfeit the bonus if you haven’t met the wagering requirements.
A lot of players like this style of offer, however, it seems needlessly complicated to me!
Betting
This is a simple to navigate, easy on the eye, online casino.
You can choose from Slots, Progressive Slots, Table Games, Video Poker, Variety and Live Casino.
There’s no sportsbook or bingo but who cares with all this on offer.
If you love a live dealer you can opt for Baccarat, Blackjack, Stud Poker, Super Sic Bo or Roulette.
Game Show style offerings include Monopoly Live and Crazy Time.
With more than 500 games to go at you won’t be short on gaming here. It does have less on offer than some of the bigger sites but still enough to keep you entertained.
If you have the itch for a scratch head to the variety section where you’ll find Cricket Star Scratch, Avalon Scratch and Immortal Romance Scratch amongst others.
Fans of Video Poker can choose from titles including Aces and Eights, All Aces and Aces and Faces.
And if live dealer ain’t your thing then the table games section has plenty on show including Vegas Strip Blackjack, Sapphire Roulette and No Commission Baccarat.
Software & Games
No doubt that the star of the show here is the pokies.
With more than 400 different types of slot goodness to indulge in. You can filter based on 1-20 Line, 25+Lines, 3 Reel and 5 Reel.
After that then you’ll need to get your thumb warmed up and start scrolling.
All games on this site are provided by Microgaming, a pioneer and one of the market leaders in the online casino world.
Games include 5 Reel Drive, Almighty Aztecs and Atlantis – The Forgotten Kingdom.
The progressive Jackpots section also has 8 titles to choose from including Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah, Cash Splash and the legend that is Mega Moolah.
All of which have some eye-watering jackpots.
There’s no doubt this is pokie paradise.
It’s just a shame there aren’t more ways to filter. It would be nice to have themes to improve searchability like Sticky Wilds or classic games, Wizards and Witches or Sci-Fi and Fun.
1-20 Lines, 25+ Lines etc just seems a bit dull.
Withdrawal Times, Limits and Methods
You’ve won big and now it’s time to get your money out.
Don’t sweat there’s a variety of ways to get your cash out including traditional banking methods such as Visa and Mastercard and newer eWallets such as Skrill and Neteller.
The max you can withdraw in any week is $4,000 and the minimum you can withdraw is $50.
Here’s the bad part. Withdrawals may remain pending for up to 48 hours before being processed.
There is also a charge for withdrawing via Direct Bank Transfer. This depends on the amount being withdrawn. For amounts under $3000, it is $50 and for over $3000 it is $100.
Withdrawals that are required to be processed via a different currency to the player’s casino account currency will be subject to a currency conversion which will be based on the average daily interbank market rate plus a conversion fee of 2.5%.

Casino Licenses
This casino is owned by Apollo Entertainment Limited and is licenced and regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and you can find it here.
Apollo Entertainment Ltd is well respected and has been around a long time. They also manage Zodiac Casino and Casino Action to name a few.
They are also licenced and regulated in Malta MGA/B2C/164/2008 and the UK 38620
You can’t really get much better than this in terms of licencing and it all means they are compliant with the gambling laws of New Zealand.
Rewards System and VIP Treatment
At Casino Classic you get rewarded for your loyalty. And who doesn’t like that!
What’s more this casino is part of the Casino Rewards Member Casino which means when you join any casino that uses the Casino Rewards platform you get a Loyalty/VIP account and the more money you bet, the more points you collect.
There are 6 Status Levels in the Casino Rewards Loyalty Program. Each Status Level offers a whole stack of goodies including bigger bonuses, more promotions, priority support, birthday gifts, exclusive games, personal VIP hosts, more entries into the Time Of Your Life Sweepstakes and VIP Lucky Jackpot.
Phew! That’s a lot going on.
When you play at Casino Classic you’ll be awarded VIP loyalty points. Every 100 points is worth a dollar in chips.
Once you hit 1,000 points you can redeem them.
There are also numerous promotions which earn you VIP points.
Player Protection
I’m a big fan of companies who take every step to ensure their players are protected.
Gambling can be addictive and everyone needs to think more leisurely and fun rather than seeing it as a way to make money.
This casino’s dedicated responsible gambling page starts off with some welcome advice such as not gambling when you’re upset or depressed.
You can also set daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits via the customer support team.
And if you wish to increase these limits you’ll have to wait 24 hours before they take effect.
If it’s all getting a bit much and you need some time off then you can. Simply take a break for 24 hours, one week, four weeks or 12 weeks. Once your chosen timeframe has finished your account will be reactivated.
If you feel you have a gambling problem you can self-exclude for a set period of time of your choosing. You’ll need to self-exclude at any other online casinos where you are a member and, in order to maximize your self-exclusion, you’ll need to send a form to the gambling commission.
There are also some links to third party support groups.
This is a good, solid responsible gambling section. It could, however, have more practical tools to keep you safe such as in-house timers that kick you out after a period of time.
But a solid policy, all the same.
Winners
Celebrate good times, come on!
I love it when a casino makes a big deal of their winners. Why? Because I like seeing what they won the money on.
Not only have they got a page dedicated to winners, but they also have that many that you can filter by date.
At the time of this review, RJ had just snagged $64,100 on ActionOps Snow and Sable.
You lucky dog RJ!
Conclusion
You wouldn’t think this casino had been around for more than two decades.
It’s got a clean, fresh look and feel.
It has an opening offer appealing for those looking for a low deposit entry into a casino for the chance to win big.
But it also has a healthy $200 matched deposit bonus. Sadly, it does come with a 200x welcome bonus wagering requirement. But after that, the wagering requirement on bonuses is just 30x.
There’s a good mix of games, powered by the well-known and respected Micrograming.
If pokies are your pleasure then there’s more than 400 to go at here with some great progressive Jackpot games.
Casino Classic has a solid responsible gambling section, 128-bit encryption to ensure all your details are protected and a winners section where you can drool over who has won what?
The rewards programme is excellent and part of the Casino Rewards Member Casino.
Withdrawal speeds could be quicker but there’s a lot to like here.
This is a very good casino.
