Genesis Casino Review for 2023

The Genesis Casino is the newest service by and the first to take the Genesis name. The group is relatively new to online gaming but has already produced well-reviewed sister sites like Sloty, Spinit, and Vegas Hero.

The team behind Genesis has established a pattern of being creative and taking into consideration all of the elements of a good, well-rounded service. Whether you’re looking at Genesis, Sloty, or other Genesis Global-owned ventures, you know you’re entering quality virtual doors. The sites are unique, creative, and fully transparent.

We do want to point out that the Genesis Casino varies depending on location. So, our information may be different than what you’ll experience depending on where you live.

For example, in some places, new players aren’t offered the 300 free spins that are part of a welcome bonus elsewhere.

The banking options are regionally based, as are the casino games. If you live in the Netherlands, you won’t have access to the full catalog of games provided by a combination of software providers. Instead, you’ll be limited to a dedicated NetEnt experience.

Most players are under the regulation of the . But Genesis Casino has also obtained the proper remote licensing for anyone who resides in the United Kingdom.

The UK license has some of the most stringent guidelines, so you know that your betting is safe, secure, and you have a backup agency should you run into any issues along the way.

There aren’t too many exclusions when it comes to customers who can use Genesis Casino’s service.

In addition to Americans, though, anyone who resides in the following countries are also exempt from using the site:

While the casino is powered by NetEnt, unless you live in the Netherlands, you won’t have an exclusive NetEnt experience. Instead, some of the “big guys” are combined to create the diverse and expansive Genesis Casino.

The live casino is an above-average-sized suite with more than 70 games provided by Evolution Gaming and NetEnt.

The rest of the games are comprised of slots, including jackpot progressives, table games, and specialty offerings as well. Microgaming, Quickspin, NetEnt, NYX Gaming, and Play’n GO are the software companies that are on board and providing some of the best from their catalogs.

We previously mentioned that the gaming opportunities would be different in the various regions around the world. Genesis promotes 1,300 titles. However, we counted 850, with nearly 600 of them also appearing in mobile format on smartphones and tablets.

While there are plenty of slots and table games, video poker players will be disappointed. There aren’t any video poker options for Genesis players who gravitate to those types of casino games.

There are a few table poker alternatives like Hold ‘em, Oasis, and Poker Pursuit. But typical video poker “machines” like Jacks or Better or Deuces Wild are nowhere to be found.

Practice play or free play isn’t available on every game in the casino. But it is an option for many. Genesis calls that mode “try,” so you’ll select “play” for real money wagering or “try” to test the waters.

The one issue we found with the Genesis casino is the loading of the games. There are hundreds of games to review, especially if you’re a slots player and want to look at everything available to you. But it could take you quite a while.

The games, both on the full website and the mobile version, load in batches of 12. So, you have to scroll and then click to load 12 more. With over 840 games, that’s 70 clicks to see the full collection.

When you’ve got over 70 virtual tables open to you, you can be sure that you’ll have plenty of options. There are quite a few games, but they also cover the gamut from blackjack to roulette to poker. You’ll even find some of the harder-to-find one-offs like Red Dog and Beat Me.

Notably missing was a craps table, though. There are multiple versions of all of the primary games. So, it’s surprising that craps isn’t offered at all.

It’s nothing new – slots are number one in this and all casinos. With so many different betting sites vying for slot players’ business, new websites like Genesis Casino tend to go overboard with their slot banks. They want to be sure to include as many different titles as possible because experienced slot players are discriminating.

The software companies are some of the biggest. They provide the big-paying progressive jackpots as well as many of the licensed games like Planet of the Apes, The Phantom of the Opera, Halloween, and Tarzan.

Both video slots and classics are included. But if you accept a bonus, be sure to check the full list of included games. Classic slots only contribute at a 75% rate to the wagering requirement. Additionally, some games are entirely omitted from bonus rollover play.

The jackpot slots are set up in an individual section so you can easily pick one if you are most interested in these types of games. While there are some that provide relatively small top prizes, you certainly can’t beat Mega Moolah or Mega Moolah Isis that start out at a million and only get better from there.

So, on the one hand, there isn’t a video poker section. But on the other, there are two specialty areas. One is called “other games,” and the other is designated “scratch cards.”

If you’ve never played on a casino website before and are gun-shy about getting started, slots and specialty games are both tremendous entry-level possibilities.

Scratch cards or scratch and wins are straightforward, as you just click and see if you’re a winner. Other options include keno, bingo, and virtual horse racing.

Both NetEnt and Evolution Gaming combine to provide a relatively sizeable live dealer area.

Many games are offered in low- and high-stakes versions. Dream Catcher is a popular money wheel game that you’ll find in many casinos that offer products by Evolution Gaming.

…plus a few dozen more blackjack tables.

As Genesis Casino is an international online betting services provider, the games, promotions, and financial system will vary depending on where you live.

E-wallets like Skrill and Neteller are on some lists, like for UK residents. But if you live in Canada, you won’t have access to them. We’ve also noted that maximum transaction amounts are also dependent on geography, so not everyone will have the same guidelines to follow.

The banking menu covers many of the options that customers would be seeking, except Genesis hasn’t embraced the crypto technology. We didn’t locate a Bitcoin option.

There are two significant benefits to their financial services, though. The first is the lack of fees in either direction. You may be aware that some casinos implement fees that can reduce your bottom line significantly. Both deposits and withdrawals are complimentary, although your bank or financial services provider may implement charges at their discretion.

Another helpful aspect is the low minimum transfer requirements. You can deposit as little as $10 into your betting account. That same $10 holds up on the withdrawal end of things as well. For recreational bettors who just want to dabble a bit at online gaming, a low minimum is advantageous.

The first time you initiate a withdrawal request, your payout may take longer than usual, as you may need to submit identity verification. But from there, approvals should take somewhere between 24 and 48 hours to complete.

We always appreciate when a casino is transparent with their information, especially when it comes to money. You’ll find the deposit and withdrawal menus readily available through several links on the website. Once you get to that page, organized menus are detailing the payment methods and minimum and maximum transaction amounts.

For withdrawals, you’re also given the approximate timing for payment turnarounds. All of this information is helpful if you’re deciding whether or not to give Genesis a try. It’s useful for registered players who need to figure out the best method to use for the fastest transactions.

While your financial services menu depends on your geographic location, some additional options may be made available to you. Some of the country-dependent alternatives include:

The Genesis promotional programs go beyond the standard welcome bonus to offer Space and Weekly Bonus Missions. No, you won’t be launched out of the atmosphere, but the Space Mission could take you to America and the if you’re the lucky winner of the trip for two.

And this isn’t your average vacation. Remember, you’re playing at the Genesis Casino, and it likes to go above and beyond. So, the Mission winner will get to train with astronauts!

When it comes to the stipulations that accompany many of the Genesis rewards, the standard rollover is 40 times, and it applies to the bonus amount only. Even when you get your free spins, you do need to play those winnings through 40 times as well.

Keep in mind that the Genesis Casino is a brand new website, so there are a few tiny little bugs that need to be ironed out along the way. For the time being, a player’s bonus balance is combined with his or her cash balance.

You’ll need to contact customer service to get updated information on your division of assets to make sure that you are complying with your wagering requirements.

We did note that the bonus programs are different depending on your residence. So, we’re going to provide you with both the UK version and the Canadian offer to give you an idea of the types of rewards you’ll be offered from Genesis.

• UK Welcome Bonus: 100% up to £100 plus 300 Free Spins on Starburst

The deposit match part of this offer is a relatively standard one. When you transfer in your first deposit, you can receive matching bonus play funds. You’ll need to roll that bonus over 40 times. So, if you deposit £100 to receive £100, your wagering obligation is £4,000.

As far as the free spins part of the award, you need to wager at least £5, and then your first ten spins become available to you. After that, you’ll receive ten more (every 24 hours) nine more times. Just roll your winnings over 40 times, and you can withdraw up to £100 if you’re lucky enough to accumulate it.

• Canadian Welcome Bonus: Four-Part New Player Bonus Good for up to $1,000

Instead of a lower deposit match and then the free spins, Genesis is offering players in select other locations a four-times reward. It still has the standard 40 times rollover attached to it and breaks down as follows:

• Deposit One: 100% up to $100
• Deposit Two: 50% up to $300
• Deposit Three: 25% up to $300
• Deposit Four: 25% up to $300

Let’s go on some missions now, as they can prove to be valuable, and the Space Mission provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

• Space Mission: A Trip for Two from Europe to Orlando Florida

While this is a one-off contest, it should give you a good idea of the types of rewards and sweepstakes-type games for which Genesis Casino will be known.

This particular contest requires deposit and playthrough combinations. For each block of “20” that’s deposited and wagered, players receive one drawing ticket. The trip will then be awarded to one Genesis player based on a random drawing.

The prize is pretty darn impressive. It’s not just a trip; it’s an experience.

This particular Space Mission includes return flights for two from Europe to Orlando, five nights at a four-star hotel, rental car, Kennedy Space Center admission, lunch with an astronaut, and an astronaut training experience.

• Weekly Bonus Mission: 25% Deposit Match up to $100

We probably should have led with this one, as it’ll seem like a let-down when compared to the Space Mission. But this particular weekly offer can keep your reels spinning longer. You deposit a minimum of $50 any time from Monday through Thursday. Then, on Friday, you get a 25% reward.

• Lightspeed Bonus: 25% Deposit Match up to $100

Just like the Weekly Bonus Mission, you have a few days to transfer in betting money and then do some wagering. This time, you can play on the weekend and the claim up to 25% up to $100 on Monday. This particular offer only requires a $10 minimum deposit, though.

Genesis refers to its VIP benefits as “Hyper-Speed VIP Benefits.” Some of them will look very familiar with bonuses, VIP events, and a dedicated account manager. But a few are unique. VIPs receive personal withdrawal service, holiday packages, and flights to Las Vegas.

As with any loyalty or VIP club, the benefits you are eligible for are based on the level of depositing and betting that you accomplish.

When it comes to customer service, Genesis seems to have the bases covered. You can reach a service agent through email, phone, or live chat. But it may not even be necessary, as there are so many informational sections on the website. Additionally, you can search through the FAQs for immediate help.

While the casino is new, the customer service department is still relatively untested. We have noted, though, that support personnel have been monitoring player forums to provide answers and responses to public postings and questions. It’s always refreshing to see a proactive department that’s responsive to customers.

When it comes to responsible gaming practices, there are a few tools that you can use to keep your activities in check.

You can set your own deposit limit without having to contact customer service. You just go into the My Account area and set up personal restrictions with which you’re comfortable.

Now, if you need to self-exclude, then you do need to reach out to a support agent, but you can select from a definite or indefinite period where you won’t be allowed to use the service. If you live in the UK, the minimum is six months.

UK players can also take a “time out” for anywhere from one to 42 days.

We’ve looked at so many different casinos that when one that’s truly special comes up, it’s easy to identify. Right from the start (or the launch pad), we knew that Genesis “had the stuff.”

You can tell that the web designers were striving to make their mark and produce something unlike everything else that’s out there today. While some competitors have eye-catching or unique websites, many of them are barely distinguishable from the others.

Now, while you always need to go beneath the surface to determine the casino’s worth, a well-designed website can make a big difference. It shows that the owners and managers are proud of their product and want to provide an all-around great experience for the players.

It wasn’t just the eye-catching graphics that reeled us in, as the homepage displays the information you’d want to know. Genesis promotes “warp-speed withdrawals” which are enticing to online bettors. There’s also a sampling of the games, promotion of the Space Mission trip, bonus information, and links to everything you’d need to review.

Not only do you have FAQs but full banking pages, a customer service section, an about page, detailed terms and conditions, and full disclosure of ownership, licensing, regulation, and website security.

When it comes to banking, we won’t go as far as agreeing with the “warp-speed withdrawals,” as some can take 48 hours to receive. But the financial service menu is more than adequate.

It doesn’t include any cryptocurrency. It does, however, offer all the basics, including credit and debit cards, e-wallets, prepaid cards, and bank transfers.

Everything is fee-free, and depending on where you live, you may even have a longer list of possibilities from which to select. The minimum deposit and withdrawal amounts are only ten each, and that’s about as good as it gets.

While we love the Space Mission contest, the promotional program could use some rocket boosters, as it falls flat. Other opportunities are deposit-related, and when you have such an exciting contest and premise, it would be beneficial to see some better ongoing offerings to keep things fresh.

Getting to the heart of the matter, though, which is the casino and gaming availability, you’ll surely be impressed with the number of titles and the variety that accompanies every type of game.

The software designers are some of the best in the business and offer up some licensed brands as well as millionaire-making progressive jackpot slots like Mega Moolah, Hall of Gods, and Mega Fortune.

The table games and live dealer section are some of the best around. But it was disappointing to note the lack of video poker selections and craps.

It seemed odd that these casino standards would be left out of the mix when Genesis did such a great job with the rest of the casino.

We have identified a few things that could be changed, like the lack of video poker and craps, the small-batch loading of the casino games, and some of the bonus offerings.

It appears that Genesis has had a successful launch and should be in orbit for a long time to come.
