BluVegas Review: Scam or Safe?

BluVegas is a new casino that was granted a license at the end of July 2023, so at the time of writing it's just 2 months old. Brand new houses are often viewed from two significant standpoints, one of which is that the casino is still to prove itself. The another one, that we fancy more, is that each new casino is actually loaded with potential. Hence, in the following review, we'll go through BluVegas, will see its bonuses, will check their license, will test the deposit system and will inspect its gaming library. Once done, you will have all the details you need to know about BluVegas, so let's start with the bonuses.

Bonuses

The bonuses offered by BluVegas seem good, but we don't consider the number high enough. The welcoming offer is decent, there are two weekly reloads, and a cashback option is also available, so all in all, we have 4 bonuses altogether. Apart from those, there are some tournaments and network promotions that are worth noted, as well as a possibility for a no deposit bonus. The latter is mentioned in the TCs, so whenever it comes available through a code or open to the general public, we will notify you promptly. Now, let's see each and every bonus in detail.

Welcome Package – the welcoming offer consists of three separate events. Bonuses are given away for the first, second and third deposit so that the package becomes a complete promo that we are used to see. The minimum deposit for any stage is €20, while the total max prize gets to be 175% up to €2000 and 200 free spins on the slot Starburst as a plus. The wagering requirement is 35 times for both cash and free spins, while cash-out limits are not particularly specified. In fact, in its TCs, BluVegas states that FS given away as a deposit bonus are not subject on winnings cap, but we cannot verify that's the actual case in this instance. Anyhow, see the prizes for each deposit:

• 1st Deposit – 100% up to €500 and 100 FS. Note that the spins are credited by 20 per day for 5 days.
• 2nd Deposit – 50% up to €500 and 50 FS. All FS are credited immediately.
• 3rd Deposit – 25% up to €500 and 50 FS. All FS are credited immediately.

Midweek Value Reload – a promo we don't consider so fancy. The thing is that the prize is really unimpressive – players get 50% up to €50 if they they deposit €20. That said, however, there is one thing we should turn our attention to a tiny detail – BluVegas states that the bonus is given away “on your next deposit”, meaning that the promo can be claimed more than once during the day. What we didn't fancy, however, is that BluVegas doesn't specify whether that's the case or not, so it still remains as potentially accurate. Anyhow, the wagering requirement for this promo is 40 times, while cash-out limits are yet again unspecified.

Sunday Madness – the second reload for the week with a better prize. A special feature for this promo is that players can claim it to three times on Sunday. The minimum deposit is €20, while the total prize is up to 75% up to €300. The wagering requirement is repeated for a reload – 40 times, while cash-out limits are not designated. The particular bonus looks like that:

• Deposit €20 to claim 25% up to €100. Note once again, you can claim it three times on Sunday.

Monthly Cashback – a chance to claim some of your losses during the month. The size of it will depend on the VIP level, with the highest possible prize being 20% (max cash bonus is unspecified). The wagering requirement is really low – only 1 times, while the cash-out limit is set at 5 times the bonus – not too bad. See the percentages for the different levels:

• Level 1 – 5%
• Level 2 – 6%
• Level 3 – 10%
• Level 4 – 12%
• Level 5 – 15%
• Level 6+ – 20%

Those are the typical bonus events, but in addition to them, BluVegas offers a few other promotional offers. The noteworthy one is the Pragmatic Drops & Wins network promotion that runs on multiple casinos. It's straightforward to understand – while you are wagering Pragmatic slots, you can get a prize drop you can immediately withdraw of wager (up to your preference). The yearly prize pool is €30 000 000, so there are plenty of bounces given away. It's worth giving a try.

Other promotions include Daily Loyalty Prize Drops, Weekly Missions and Tournaments, and Free Daily Cash Drops and BLU Jackpots. The common between them is that there is literally nothing specified, so we cannot tell you what these are all about. Nonetheless, it's good that BluVegas has a variety of promos to choose from. We wished there was a higher number of straightforward deposit bonuses and free spins, but there aren't at the moment.

License

BluVegas is owned by Starscream Limited (a Saint Lucia company) and licensed in Canada by KGC. The Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) is a regulatory body that oversees online casinos and land-based gaming activities within the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake – a reserve located in Quebec, Canada. The commission was established in 1996 and has been licensing and regulating various types of gaming since then. The casino is regulated, so it should be considered a safe and fair place for wagering.

The primary role of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission is to issue licenses to online casinos, poker rooms, and sportsbooks that want to operate from the territory. The aim of the commission is to make sure that these operations are fair, secure, and transparent. They also work to protect players by ensuring that the games are not rigged and that players' money is safe.

To get a license, a gaming operator must meet several requirements. These include having secure and reliable software, ensuring that players are of legal age, and demonstrating that the games are fair. Once an operator has a license, they are subject to ongoing checks by the commission that make sure that the operator continues to meet all requirements and standards set.

The regulator also has a complaint process procedure. Players who feel that they have been treated unfairly by an casino can file a complaint with the commission. The commission will then investigate the issue and if they find that the operator has not worked according to the rules, the company running the casino may face penalties, including fines or even the loss of their license.

Overall, the gaming regulation in Kahnawake is legit and trustworthy, but we shall mention a scandal, in which two poker sites licensed by the commision were found to be cheating players through superuser accounts. It was a huge deal at the time and the authorities in Kahnawake were quick to respond. Nonetheless, the reputation of the jurisdiction as a gaming hub has suffered since then, and is not as polished as it used to be.

Anyhow, just like any other casino, BluVegas isn't accessible in every single country worldwide, so see the list with excluded territories below.

Restricted countries: Afghanistan, American Samoa, Barbados, Burkina Faso, Cayman Islands, Congo (Brazzaville), Congo (Kinshasa), Guam, Haiti, Iran, Jamaica, Jordan, Korea, North, Mali, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, Russian Federation, Senegal, South Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United States, United States Minor Outlying Islands, Vanuatu, Virgin Islands, U.S., Yemen

Deposit and Withdrawal

Currencies: Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Australian Dollar (AUD), New Zealand Dollar (NZD), Norwegian Krone (NOK)

The deposit policy of BluVegas is generally good, but there are a few things to note. The minimum deposit, for example, is a subject of debate. The TCs state that the minimum is €10, while the Payment page on the website state it's €20. The actual rate is the latter one, which is still a very favourable condition, but we don't want to see such controversies.

The maximum deposit is unspecified. Each deposit is instant and free.

When it comes to withdrawals, the conditions are also good. The minimum withdrawal is €20 for most methods, and €30 for bank transfers. If you choose an online banking transfer, the minimum should be €50.

The maximum single withdrawal transaction is not specified, and will depend on your country, the payment method chosen and the withdrawal limits – €5000 per week and €20 000 per month. The withdrawal request processing time is 48 hours.

Note that before a withdrawal, the rollover requirement of 1 times should be cleared. Simply put, players should wager their deposits at least once to unlock withdrawals. That's both gaming and AML procedure, so nothing to worry about – every casino imposes such requirements.

You shouldn't worry about the inactive account policy, as well, cause it's standard, too – €5 per month after 12 months no login.

Conclusion

BluVegas is a brand new licensed casinos offering some of the very best slots and Live Casino games. The payment policy of the casino is good, but we didn't really fancy the ongoing promotions offered. So, with those things considered, we see BluVegas as a casino with potential that may become a very good gaming house. For now, it's yet to prove itself, but it has all the prerequisites to do so.
