Magic Box Casino

This site was founded all the way back in 2006 and it seems like it was designed to look outdated right from the start. It is regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. They are associated with the Bwin Group, which are known for being unwilling to discuss player problems.

The website feels like a time capsule from the last century, when dial-up was the thing, and pictures were loading line by line for two full minutes. Sadly, the “fallen-out-of-time” feeling doesn’t come from the design alone. The casino offers instant and downloadable versions, but when we tried to play their games online, this option was not available.

Banking: The choice of payment methods is pretty decent. There are Neteller, Skrill, Credit cards, and some local options (Euteller, GiroPay, SporoPay). There’s also Instant Bank, who has been Trustly for 5 years now. Have they been in cryogenic sleep for ten years and just woke up? As for the withdrawal limits, you can cash out up to €5,000 per week.

Customer Support: The support options are also archaic: email, phone, fax (who uses those anymore). Live chat? Apparently not yet invented in this site's time frame. At least the support service is available round-the-clock.

Software and Game Variety

This places runs on the Playtech software. There are all kinds of sections on the website, but when you click on any game, you automatically download theшк software. While instant play option is also available, you won’t see any games until you register an account.

Once you download the software, it turns out that the games collection is pretty good, as expected from the Playtech software. Let’s see what can be found in their library:

• Slots: Gladiator, Monty Python’s Spamalot, Desert Treasure;
• Jackpots: Jackpot Giant, Sweet Party, Cat in Vegas;
• Table Games: Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Red Dog;
• Video Poker: All American, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker;
• Scratch Cards.

Magic Box Casino Mobile and Live Games

Alright, did you really expect it to work on smartphones? We didn’t and they didn't disappoint us. They don't even try - it just redirects you to the sister casino (Casino Las Vegas) when you open it on a mobile device. This is probably the best they could do.

They offer nothing when it comes to a mobile version.

Live games, though, are rather well covered (fortunately they discovered this fantastic cutting-edge technology). You’ll get your standard Baccarat, Roulette, Blackjack, and Casino Hold’em in several variations.

Bonuses and Promotions

The promotions page currently lists only one item - Daily promotions (accompanied by a picture of 2011 calendar).

Though the “Promotions” section is empty, you can see the Welcome Bonus banner on their main page. According to the text in a small icon, you can get a 100% match bonus, up to €500, with 50 free spins on top. The wagering requirements are also mentioned there - 20x the sum of the deposit and bonus value. However, when you click on that icon, it redirects you to Casino Las Vegas again. Thanks, but no thanks.

They provide a Comp Points Program where for every €10 they grant you 1 Comp Point. In order to get €, you have to collect 100 comps. They are so generous!
