Updates at Casino Beacon

More of a blog than anything else, this is where we bang on about updates and additions to Casino Beacon. It can be a handy at-a-glance way to see what's new here so you can quickly head to the new stuff.

Update and Blog - Thursday, 26 August 2010

We've seen some really good things from online casinos recently - things that have encouraged us about the industry that we work in. The UK online casino industry is moving forward with some very reputable operators and some amazing free money promotions. We've taken a look at a couple of new-ish casinos who have already impressed us a great deal.

Free Wonga. No Risk. Where's The Catch?

The online casino industry sometimes gets an unfair reputation for being dodgy - usually these comments come from people who have never actually played at one because on the whole, UK Online Casinos are highly legitimate and offer an excellent service with games and payout rates that kick the hell out of their land-based counterparts.

During the last week we've tried out a couple online casinos that we've not looked at very closely before. Both of these casinos are offering No Deposit Required Bonuses. These promotions should work exactly as they sound - a completely free welcome bonus with no real money purchase needed. No deposit bonuses are usually quite small, ten quid or so, but they give you an opportunity to try out the casino's games and see if you like what you see. Anyway, it should be totally risk-free so any amount can be considered a generous offer.

Now, we suspect that people who are already wary of the fairness of online casinos are going to view 'no deposit required' bonuses with even more suspicion. After all, who gives away anything for free with no catch? Well, we're pleased to report that the two casinos we've tried out MORE than passed our test.

The first casino we checked out is Box 24 Casino - new players here are credited with £24 with no purchase needed. With any casino bonus there are 'playthrough requirements' where you need to make a minimum amount of wagers before you can cashout the winnings. This is to prevent new players simply grabbing the bonus and cashing out without actually playing! We had a decent run with Box 24's slot games and easily met these playthrough requirements. We even received an e-mail from the casino telling us we'd met the requirements and could now withdraw the funds. Without even risking a penny of our own, we managed to win and withdraw £120. That's £120 real money that the casino handed over to us without even blinking. They didn't squirm, move the goalposts or try to delay paying out - they simply paid up when they asked them to. What's more, they paid us in less than 24 hours.

Slot Games at CAIGamesThe next casino to go under the Casino Beacon microscope was CAIGames, a no-download casino where you play the games in your browser. We'd not come across this brand before but a little investigating revealed that they're no newcomer to the gambling scene. CAI stands for 'Casinos Austria International' but their online casino, CAIGames, is actually UK-specific and only players from the UK are able to play here, at least for now. To give you some idea of CAI's gambling background, they currently operate 50 land-based casinos in 17 countries. They also have 11 casinos on ships so you may have come across them if you've had the pleasure of taking a cruise.

CAIGames' no deposit bonus is a very palatable £20 free. For some reason, their playthrough requirement is a ridiculously achievable £20 which means that once you've placed twenty quid in total wagers, you can cashout your winnings! As with Box 24, we went straight for the slot games and after a bit of hit and miss gaming, we ended up with £40. We tried out a few of the Scratch Card Games at CAIGames and ended up with £60. Now, I'm a gambler who doesn't always know when to quit and chances are I'd have carried out for a while longer but having the girlfriend screaming "cash out! cash out!" means that's exactly what happened. As with the case of Box 24, CAIGames handed over the winnings and paid out the very next day.

What we experienced with Box 24 Casino and CAIGames is massively encouraging. Neither of the casinos had any idea of our gambling connections and between them, we ended up with £180 pure profit without any risk whatsoever. If you're reading this and you've never tried an online casino because you've been wary of their fairness or honesty then you should use our experiences as a reason to give one a try. Grab a no deposit bonus and you really have got nothing to lose. We made £180 - you could get even more.

Try your luck - visit Box 24 Casino and CAIGames
