Big Boost Review: Scam or Safe?

Big Boost is one of the very new casinos that appeared online just recently. It seems to target mostly Scandinavian countries as two out of three languages of the website are Norwegian and Finnish. Nonetheless, players from other countries are also allowed to register and wager, so even if you are not residing in Scandinavia, you'll still have the chance to test Big Boost, if you feel like doing it.

The gaming house is licensed and offer Casino and Live Casino games, with more than 5000 slots found in the library, all of which are delivered by leading studios like Pragmatic. Unfortunately, sports betting is not available, but that wouldn't be such a big issue for players who like casino and real dealer games. What we didn't fancy is that the bonus promotions are very few, but given that Big Boost is a very fresh casino, we may reasonably expect that additional promos may appear any time soon. Indeed, the bonus policy of Big Boost states that reloads, free spins and cash back are possible, so without any further ado, let's move on to the bonuses.

Languages: English, Finnish, Norwegian

Bonuses

Unfortunately, the single active bonus at the moment we can discuss is the Welcome offer. A VIP cashback is promoted on the website, but we couldn't find any info for both the bonus and the VIP programme. A possibility is that Big Boost is still not fully developed, so they haven't provided full info on it for now. At any rate, though, such an opportunity exists, showing that Big Boost may be considered a casino with potential. Whether the casino will unleash its potential or not will be seen in the future. Anyhow, see what the welcoming offer looks like.

Welcome Bonus – for new players only. Once you register, you need to deposit at least €20 to unlock the bonus. The prize is 100% up to €500 and 100 free spins on Book of Dead by Play'N GO. Once claimed, the bonus is valid for 7 days and should be wagered 35 times before a withdrawal – a standard condition within standards. The cash-out limit is not specified.

Note that EcoPayz, Skrill and Neteller deposits do not qualify for this promotion, so keep this in mind before activation. Another thing is that players from many countries will not be allowed to participate in this promotion. The full list is here: India, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Afghanistan, Alderney, America Samoa, Angola, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Cambodia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Democratic People's Republic Of Korea (dprk), Denmark, Dutch Carribean Including Curacao and Aruba, Ethiopia, Hungary, Iraq, Islamic Republic Of Iran, Italy, Lao's People's Democratic Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syrian Arab Republic, Uganda, United Kingdom, USA, Vanatu or Yemen. Some of those jurisdictions are generally excluded, while others are restricted only for this particular bonus.

In addition to the Welcome Bonus, Big Boost has other promotional events, too. Those are Drops and Wins network promotions carried out by Pragmatic Play and a few other tournaments. The so-called network promotions are not limited to just one casino, so once you decide to participate, you will be in a competition with players from many other casinos. The best thing about the Pragmatic Drops and Wins is that the prize pool is really intimidating – €2 000 000 per month for one of the events. Daily, tens of thousands are given away, so it's worth trying as the prizes are just dropping while you are wagering.

That's basically it. We cannot say that we are pleased with the promotions available now, but given that Big Boost is a very new casino, we may expect that they will include more bonuses in the future. We are about to see, but the expectations are there.

License

Big Boost is a licensed casino operated by White Star B.V. The company was authorised in Curacao by the master license operator Antillephone. Big Boost is practically a sub-licensee of Antillephone and operates with the license number 8048/JAZ. The authorisation is a proof that Big Boost is a fully legit casino, so safe and fair gaming environment is expected. Curacao's licensing regime is unusual, so let us give you some more info.

The online casinos in Curacao are not licensed and regulated by the local gaming authorities directly, but by four independent companies instead– Antillephone, E-Gaming, CIL and Gaming Curacao. Each licensor company is responsible to sub-license and supervise the casinos, which guarantees that all rules and regulations are in place and followed strictly. There are opinions that the supervision in Curacao is not as strong due to the regulatory framework, but there are certain positive features we should mention. First of all, the capacity increases since there are four licensors instead of only one, so the overall procedure gets more efficient, in general. Also, the licensing process and subsequent control become cheaper and quicker, which gives more flexibility to the casinos. If you’re looking for lucrative bonuses and possibly a bigger choice of slot games, you might pick one licensed in Curacao.

Under the Antillephone license, Big Boost is not authorised to offer its services in certain jurisdictions. The restricted territories include, but are not limited to the ones seen just below. Also, keep in mind that certain gaming studios also have their lists with restrictions, so if it happens that you cannot play a particular slot, it may be due to the provider.

Restricted countries: American Samoa, Aruba, Australia, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, Curaçao, France, French Guiana, French Polynesia, French Southern Lands, Guadeloupe, Guam, Martinique, Netherlands, New Caledonia, Saint Martin (French part), Sint Maarten (Dutch part), Spain, United States, United States Minor Outlying Islands, Virgin Islands, U.S.

Deposit and Withdrawal

Currencies: Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD), British Pound Sterling (GBP), Japanese Yen (JPY), Norwegian Krone (NOK), Chinese Yuan (CNY), Brazilian Real (BRL), South Korean Won (KRW), Russian Ruble (RUB), Mexican Peso (MXN)

The number of deposit methods is sufficient enough, and keep in mind that the table above is not in any way exhaustive. For Finnish players, local wallets and payment systems like Nordea, Aktia and S-Pankki are also available for deposits. In other countries, other payment systems may be included, as well, but in general, bank cards and crypto are accepted pretty much everywhere.

The minimum deposit is €10 in general, but from country to country, and depending on the funding method, the sum may vary. In Norway, for example, for most methods the minimum is 150 NOK (around €13), while for other the requirement is 200 NOK (€17).

As for the maximum single transaction, the sums may vary significantly. For example, the casino cashier revealed that up to €100 000 deposit is available via Jeton – a noteworthy fact.

Each deposit is instant and free of charge.

As for withdrawals, the number of methods is also enough. The minimum withdrawal is €15 across most methods, but yet again, depending on countries, local regulations and payment methods, the requirement may vary.

The maximum single withdrawal is not specified, but keep in mind that the daily withdrawal limit is €5000 – a really good condition, we shall say. Apart from that, the rest of the limits are as follows: €20 000 per week and €50 000 per month. Overall, the withdrawal conditions are pretty relaxed. Withdrawal requests are processed free of charge, but keep in mind that if the payment system impose taxes, the charge should be paid by players. The processing time is not specified.

A rollover requirement is not specified, too, which is a miss, but in any case, Big Boost will most probably demand from clients to wager their deposits before a withdrawal – it's a standard AML procedure carried out by pretty much every licensed casino. The standard for the industry is that players should wager their deposits from 1 to 3 times before cashing out.

As for the inactive accounts, the charge is €5 per month, which is a standard fee. An account becomes inactive after 13 months.

Conclusion

Big Boost is a very fresh casino checking most of the marks. The website is pretty nice and have a good vibe, there is Casino and Live Casino, the number of games is more than 5000, the payment methods are more than enough, and overall the deposit/withdrawal conditions are pretty relaxed. Two things are missing, however – sports betting and more bonuses. While Sportsbook is not necessary for all, the bonuses are, as a matter of fact, so we hope that Big Boost will improve and add more promotions to its list.

Most importantly, the casino is licensed and regulated, so a fair gaming environment should be expected. Big Boost is a good new casino and we see a lot of potential in it. They just need to fix a few issues to transform Big Boost into a really good gaming house.
