No Bonus casino review (UK)

A casino with no bonus frills, a 10% cashback and a great selection of games sounds very appealing. But dig a little deeper and you will find some odds are stacked up against you. With a £50 minimum withdrawal and a 5% withdrawal fee if you don’t wager your deposit amount, No Bonus Casino left a very sour taste.

It is a real shame because there is such a great selection of games and my experience up until withdrawing was a very positive one.

As the name implies there are no bonuses available here. But the top banner on the site states that there is a “no strings attached” 10% cashback. This is a lifetime offer to all customers and carries no wagering requirements or max cash-out. Your cash will be in your account after 24 hours and it is valid for 10 days.

I have to admit this felt a bit strange to me. After all, my favourite thing to do is receive a welcome bonus with free spins. But I can see how I can become a convert to such a casino. Not having bonus money to worry about is kind of refreshing. You know the money in your account is all yours and there aren’t any wagering requirements or capped wins that you have to worry about.

No Bonus Casino have a wide variety of games on offer. From slots to live casino, there is an array of games to choose from some of the most-loved providers. What intrigued me though was their offering of Lottery. I clicked on this and was taken to a page with around 16 different lotteries from around the world.

From the Euromillions to the Powerball there are many lotteries to choose from here. Of course, you won’t be buying a physical ticket to the named lottery. Instead, you will be betting on the outcome of the lottery. However, the prizes are exactly the same as the actual lottery with the SuperEnaLotto having a jackpot of over £40,000,000 at the time of writing. I decided to get a few lines on the Irish Lotto as it has some of the best odds and a ticket only costs £1.70.

After that, I went straight into the live casino for a few games of Roulette. Live Casino is composed of Roulette and BlackJack variations. Here it would be good to see information about the various games rather than having to go in each game to know things such as minimum bet etc.

A few games of Roulette later the system logged me out but at least this was after the round was finished. So I logged back in and took this as a sign to go check out some slots! Mega Moolah was the game of choice here as I’m always chasing the wheel. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage the wheel this time but I did get into the free spins time twice and managed to win an extra tenner.

On desktop, you also get access to a leaderboard on the right-hand side of the screen. Here you can see which slots fellow players are winning on, just in case you need some inspiration. It also shows any tournaments or challenges available.

No Bonus Casino has a fully optimised mobile experience. I accessed the site via my iOS device on Chrome. Once I signed in I saw Reactoonz as one of the featured games so went ahead with that. On the second spin, I get into this loop of multipliers and ended up winning over £23 from a £0.20p bet. It was truly electric and whilst I did wager another £10 trying to replicate the excitement to no avail I now count this slots as one of my favourites.

It was such a good win I even made it onto the No Bonus Casino daily leaderboard!

I changed game after a while and went for Book of Ra as it was in the favourites category. Expecting something similar to Book of Dead I ended up being quite disappointed with what I got. The game is flat and boring with a dreary soundtrack. How it was on the favourites list is beyond me. So I closed it down and went for the real deal. It is here that the website froze and I couldn’t scroll up or down. I closed the window and opened up once again and it was back to normal. It was now time to have enjoy a few rounds of Book of Dead.

According to No Bonus Casino all of their players are VIP players so they “only offer VIP support.”

They have a live chat option, phone support (with international charges since the line is based in Malta) and an email and contact form. Whilst I didn’t need to use support this time round I did have a look through their FAQs which is neatly categorised.

Registering for an account at No Bonus Casino is quick and straightforward. I inserted the usual details starting with my email and a password of choice. Then I was asked for my gender, name, DOB and mobile number. Finally, I was asked for my address. The process took me less than the time it normally takes me to make a cup of tea.

After registering, I immediately received an email to activate my account and that was it. I was ready to deposit at No Bonus Casino.

As for withdrawing, I managed to withdraw £75 (thank you Reactoonz and Mega Moolah) with no need to provide any documentation.

There’s plenty of ways to deposit at No Deposit Casino, just keep in mind the minimum amount is £25 (£30 when depositing via bank transfer).

I chose to deposit via my Visa Debit Card. Before you deposit a notice pops up informing you that funds are held in a separate bank account. You're also asked if you want to set any deposit limits. I proceeded to the next step to deposit £40. My card was authenticated successfully and funds were in my account.

Withdrawing is as straightforward but there are some caveats. First of all, there is a minimum withdrawal of £50. Second, you will also have had to wager the amount of your deposit with the casino. If you don’t, then there is a transaction fee of 5%.

There is no mention of this anywhere on the site. You have to go through their full T&Cs to find a mention of this. I learnt of this as I had £5.50 left to wager and received an email from their ‘VIP support.’

They declined my withdrawal and reverted the funds back to my account. I went back in, played exactly 11 spins at £0.50p on Book of Dead and requested my withdrawal once more. After 2 days I received an email saying this was processed and the money was in my account after another 2 days.
