Blackjack City Casino Review & Rating

Review of Blackjack City Casino

Greetings to our mateys across the land down under and New Zealand! How are all of our homies located in South Africa? What a wonderful morning to all our legendary Irish friends! The Star Gambling Team has been using the Blackjack City Casino and we are super excited to give you the great details about this casino! We want you to find out if this Casino will give you your hard-earned dollars or euros when you spin the pokie after a long day of hard work down under, eat a braai in South Africa or sit down for a pint of beer in Dublin.

The 'Blackjack City Casino' is a fantastic place for everyone who enjoys playing the tables, especially blackjack. We have used the site just like the players would do and we will give you all the info you need on whether or not it's worth your rand, euros or dollars.

Safety and License

As far as concerns regarding safety go, the Star Gambling Team is confident in saying – that the Blackjack City Casino has taken care of business there! The Blackjack City Casino is operated by White Hat Gaming Limited (their card is pretty clean on this one). They have (2) top tier Licenses in the Gaming World; the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) license MGA/B2C/370/2017 (one of the best and highest in the industry) for players OUT of the UK and licensing by the Gambling Commission (Account Number 52894) for UK players, this is the gold standard.

In addition, the site uses SSL to protect your private and financial information from unauthorized access. Testing revealed no general problems, plus tools for responsible gambling such as deposit limits, self-exclusion (from gaming), and reality checks are easily accessible to players.

The MGA license offers an additional layer of player protection for our Irish players at the EU level. The reputable nature of the site also provides South African players with the assurance of a well-regulated gaming experience, especially since many offshore sites have been known to take shortcuts in terms of governance.

Although Australian and New Zealand laws prohibit their residents from playing at online casinos located outside of their countries, Australian and New Zealand players can play at the casino with peace of mind given the MGA licensing approval as governed by the government of Malta.

Bonuses and Bonus Terms

Who doesn't love a delicious welcome bonus to begin the gaming process? Blackjack City offers customers an extremely generous welcome bonus in the form of a 100% match up to $200 on your first deposit (or equivalent). Make a minimum deposit of $20 and your starting balance will instantly be doubled giving you more than enough to begin playing blackjack immediately.

We know first-hand how easy it was to claim our welcome bonus because when we deposited the funds, we were able to receive the bonus by simply opting in.

But here comes the unpleasant part!!! The terms associated with these offers!!! The wagering requirement for Blackjack City's bonus and the deposit amount is 40 times (i.e., a player who made a $100 deposit and received a $100 bonus will need to wager a total of $8,000 before being allowed to withdraw the winnings from that bonus). This type of wagering requirement is at the higher end of the scale we have seen in the industry.

The maximum wager during the bonus period is $5 and must be used within 30 days of it being issued. Deposits made via Skrill or Neteller will not be eligible, so you must use your credit card (or any other method) to qualify for this offer.

When reviewing this offer make sure to check the contribution amounts of the games as well. Most of the time Blackjack and Table Games will have low contributions (usually 10% or less) this is why you should focus on either Slots/Pokies if you are looking for the best way to complete your rollover.

Another plus is that they have great ongoing promotions; if you play Blackjack on Evolution tables from Monday to Thursday and hit three Blackjacks in one day, you will get a Bonus of $15. Other ongoing promos include large cash giveaways, weekly $500 draws, and a daily Bonus Wheel for Free Spins or Bonus Extras.

Also, you can become a VIP member and receive even more personalized bonuses on a monthly basis. If you are searching for a casino to play at that is geared towards your target market you will love the concise welcome bonus if you are Irish, or if you are from South Africa or Australia/New Zealand you will love the specific bonuses provided for playing Blackjack, which is a very popular game in pubs ranging from Johannesburg to Sydney.

Payment Methods

In addition to the many ways you can deposit/withdraw funds, You will have a number of payment options available to you, making depositing and withdrawing simple (providing you use a Visa, Mastercard, PaySafe Card, Skrill, Neteller, Bank Transfer etc.). While you cannot currently deposit funds via cryptocurrency, they have all the other traditional payment options available.

You can deposit a minimum of $20, making it easy to deposit funds whether you are using euros (for players in Ireland) or other currencies.

While there are no flashy currency exchange options available in their cash betting system you can expect to use either euros, British pounds or US dollars, depending on your location. Many White Hat casinos will also handle cash transactions (converting to your currency) for South African players, so it won't matter where you are located. Australians and New Zealanders can use either US dollars or euros without issue.

Your deposits will be processed immediately and there are no fees from the casino on deposit transactions. We tested several of the methods offered on this site and all of them were fun! No horrible surprises with any of them.

Types of Games We Enjoy

Blackjack is the #1 game offered by this site and it shows! With over 2,600 live dealer games available from well-known suppliers including Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and Microgaming, there is sure to be something for all players! Our blackjack-playing friends are going to love this site!

We provide both traditional European style blackjack as well as a number of fun variants of the game, which include blackjack neo, side bet city, perfect pairs, 21+3, and buster blackjack. Live dealer games are excellent with speed play options and side bets available to increase the payouts on standard hands.

In addition to table games, pokies (slots for our Australian/New Zealand friends) are also a major attraction with popular titles like book of dead, gonzo's quest, and starburst. Zynga loves spins with high volatility and lots of choices for themed games.

Lastly, there are live casinos for roulette and baccarat as well as for the ever-popular game show-type experience.

Playing on mobile is also easy with no downloads and just web-based play; you can play while on the beach in Durban or waiting for rugby in Dublin!

Mistakes That New Players Make

We see it all and don't do what we see! Players chase after their losses thinking that they will be able to win back their lost money on the next hand or on the next spin of the reel. Buddy, set your budget and stick to it as if it were glued to your hands!

Classic Blackjack Has Its Drawbacks

One of the more common mistakes players make when playing blackjack is ignoring the terms and conditions of the bonuses. For example, if you only play low contribution blackjack, you may think the 40X wagering only applies to the deposit made with your bonus. It is important to read the fine print!

Beginners also tend to bet bigger than they should too early and should start smaller first to learn the different betting options. If you are playing at live tables, remember to be courteous to other players and avoid hogging a seat at a busy table.

If you do not submit the required documentation for verification of your withdrawal early on, you may experience delays in receiving your money. Make sure you submit this documentation when you sign up to avoid complications.

Withdrawal Timeframes & Limits

If you want to cash out blackjack city is not the fastest place for you but they are still decent. All withdrawals will be placed into a 48-hour pending period (most times much less), and will be processed within 3 business days.

E-wallets like Skrill and Neteller are fastest; they usually can withdraw funds within 12-24 hours the approved transaction time. Visa and Mastercard will take longer; you should expect them in 3-5 days via bank transfer.

The minimum amount you can withdraw is $20 and weekly limits for withdrawal are about $5,000 (but higher limit for VIPs). We have no significant complaints with our experiences here, we received our payments without issue; just plan to avoid withdrawals during holiday weekends.
