Welcome Bonus

If you’re looking for a sign, you’ve come to the right place.

Because whether you’re a Pisces, Sagittarius or Aries, this online casino has, on the face of it, a heavenly opening offer fit for any horoscope.

On your first deposit of just $1, you’ll get 80 free spins on Mega Moolah progressive jackpot games. For those who haven’t played them before, ‘epic’ is the word.

After that, there are matched bonuses up to the value of $480 up for grabs.

Here’s a handy table to explain.

Deposit	Matched	Maximum
2nd	100%	$100
3rd	50%	$80
4th	50%	$150
5th	50%	$150

Minimum deposit for this offer is $10, and in order to claim this promotion, you will need to download and install the Zodiac Casino software.

Sounds like your star sign is making sure you have a good day, doesn’t it! Here’s the kicker.

Your first and second deposit bonus needs to be wagered through 200x.

I had to get my calculator out for this, but that means if you deposited $100 on your second deposit you would need to wager $20,000 before you could withdraw any funds.

Ouch! Not such a good day then.

Your third, fourth and fifth will need to be wagered 30x at this online casino before being able to withdraw.

The terms and conditions also reference that slots and parlor games will contribute 100% towards wagering requirements. That’s right, you heard it correctly – “parlor” games – that’s lingo for all you Victorian gentlemen out there to enjoy.

Every other game doesn’t! So check the T&Cs before you decide what to bet on because not all have the same wagering contribution.

What do you say about this sign-up offer? Is it cosmo-logical to join?

If you’re giving this site a quick scan, it looks like an impressive sign-up offer but a 200x wagering requirement on the first and second deposit is something of an uphill challenge.

The average for online casinos is normally 40x wagering.

Betting

Enjoy  Blackjack, Roulette, Video Poker and Slots amongst the range of games on offer.

There’s no sportsbook or bingo, and it does feel limited in terms of the game offer compared to some of its competitors.

What is nice is they take the time to explain the ins and outs of how you play the games. A lot of companies assume that everyone knows what a split, stand or hit actually are. 

Brownie points for that.

And there are, of course, multiple variations for these “parlor” games, including Classic, Blackjack and Vegas Strip Blackjack.

Video poker players will enjoy Aces & Faces, Double Double Bonus Poker and Bonus Deuces Wild.

Software & Games

There are 16 progressive slot games in Zodiac Casino with top games, including Mega Moolah, Mega Vault Millionaire and Wheel of Wishes.

There are more than 500 games to choose from, including some big-name titles such as Game Of Thrones, Hitman and Bridesmaids.

Zodiac Casino is licenced and work exclusively with the well-established and well-liked Microgaming provider who are solely responsible for the gaming power on this site.

And while the website may try to put a positive spin on it, the truth is there isn’t as much variety, depth, quality or choice on offer as some providers out there.

Compare this offering to someone like Slot Planet, which has more than 1,000 games by more than 100 games providers, and the difference in range of product offer to the player is pretty obvious.

A lot of games that power websites are from the same providers, the difference is the website they sit in.

Zodiac’s website is dated, unintuitive, difficult to navigate. It hasn’t kept up with the rest of the market in my humble opinion.

Worst of all, you can’t even have a mooch around inside it to decide if you want to join. You have to join, then download the software and then have a look around.

Withdrawal Times, Limit and Methods

There’s a good selection of ways to withdraw your hard-earned cash, including traditional methods such as Mastercard, Maestro and Visa.

Digital fans with an eWallet can withdraw with Skrill, Neteller and ecoPayz.

Withdrawal times vary and compared to other online casinos are slow.

eWallets will be paid within a maximum of two days but more traditional banking methods could take anywhere between three and ten days.

Deposit Methods

There’s a fair mix of deposit methods, including eVouchers, eWallets and trad banking methods.

These include Visa, Maestro, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz and Paysafecard.

The best thing about deposit methods in this casino is that there is a minimum $1 deposit.

This means if you fancy a quick flutter then you can at very little cost to your pocket.

Plus this site uses 128-bit SSL encryption for payments which is a very secure system.

Casino Licenses

Zodiac Casino is licenced in Malta to Apollo Entertainment Ltd. You can find out more about their licence MGA/B2C/164/2008.

They’re also licenced by the UK Gambling  Commission 38620.

All of this means that the company must comply with legislation enshrined in New Zealand law.

And it means players are protected as much as anyone can be.

Rewards System and VIP Treatment

No casino is complete without a spot of VIP treatment for their players.

At Zodiac Casino, you can enjoy 24/7 personal customer support, no membership fees, fantastic offers, cash bonuses and free gifts.

There’s also a multilingual support team which is a nice touch.

It’s just a shame no one in the virtual world can walk around with a free glass of champagne like in the real world.

Player Protection

Responsible gambling has to play a major part of any online casinos digital presence. And I’m glad to say Zodiac Casino does have a policy.

Their dedicated page starts with some really useful advice, including seeing gambling as a form of leisure and only gambling what money you can afford to spend.

There’s also some handy ways to stay safe.

You can set daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits via customer support.

And if you feel that your gambling is getting out of hand and you could do with a break then you can also self-exclude for between 24 hours and six weeks or up to six months if need be.

To self-exclude, you will need to have a chat with the customer service team and then submit an email request.

They also request that you send the self-exclusion to the gaming commission they are licenced with.

Although Zodiac Casino does have a policy it doesn’t go as far as other online casinos who have in-game monitoring to remind you how long you’ve been playing and very clear ways to cancel your membership.

The whole idea of having to email their commissioner about your exclusion is also bizarre and confusing. You’d think they would sort that out if it needed sorting.

Winners

This is an absolute joy. So many online casinos don’t shout about their winners and it’s always struck me as odd. Especially when lotto companies do it nearly every day.

A big part of the bottom section of their homepage is dedicated to showcasing gamers who won a million-plus, and there’s a table of recent winners showing how much they won and when.

That’s a lovely touch that many casinos don’t bother with. It’s just a shame that there’s not another column on the table which shows you what game they won the money on.

Conclusion

This casino first emerged in 2001, and it must be doing something right to still be around.

The problem is it’s hard to tell exactly what it’s doing right when you compare it to others on the market.

As an online casino fan, I make the following decisions when joining one.

1. Does it have a good opening offer?
2. Does it look fun and exciting?
3. Has it got a good range of games to choose from.
4. Can I get my money quickly?

And the answer to all four for Zodiac Casino is no, no, no and no.

The opening offer looks good but you have to wager 200x on the second deposit. That means playing through $20,000 before you get to withdraw any winnings!

Does it look fun and exciting? Nope.

The website is dated and the brand aged. I can just see a Gen Z scrunching their face into contorted horror at the words “you have to download our software when joining”. 

Has it got a good range of games? It does have more than 500 but you can’t even have a look round the website before you join! That’s like standing outside a shop, knocking on the window and asking for any kind of trousers and hoping they fit.

Lastly, you might have to wait 48 hours for withdrawal via eWallet. I mean it’s an eWallet for goodness sake. If that’s not meant for speed then what is!

It does list its previous winners, which I like, but it doesn’t go into player protection in great depth, which I don’t like.

I started this conclusion with Zodiac Casino must be doing something right, and I’m sure it is.

For me, however, this online casino is less a sign of the times and more a sign of bygone times.
