Kangaspin Casino Review: Scam or safe?

Kangaspin is definitely not a casino you should play at. Even though it operates under the bold slogan of The most Trusted Online casino in Australia, that cannot be the case. Aussie players have way better options when it comes to playing their favorite pokies!

As for Kangaspin, it has tons of issues. For instance, it lacks a license. This means there are certain protections for the player which are simply not going to be available to you, if you deal with the house. The Terms and Conditions, which are supposed to show you what many of the casino's policies are, are simply not present on its website at all.  This is pretty bad.

What's more, the casino does not have a good amount of payment options. Its withdrawal policies are not mentioned anywhere, besides the minimum you need to cash out. And said minimum is very high, making the house uncompetitive yet again.

One of the only positive aspects of the house is the amount of bonuses it features. And even so, these promotions are severely lacking in quality and have some conditions we believe are pretty bad. If you are curious about playing at Kangaspin, we can recommend checking out the full review of the house, which we have prepared below. It will go over everything you need to know about the casino, so you don't have to waste your time and money with it:

Bonuses

Here is an overview of the exhaustingly long list of promotions with the casino:

In general, Kangaspin has several kinds of bonuses: No Deposit Bonuses, Referral Bonuses, Deposit Bonuses and Cashbacks. Let's jump straight into covering these four categories one by one:

Kangaspin No Deposit bonuses

• The No Deposit Bonus is a generic promotion which players can get once per account. True to its name, that will not require them to deposit anything. The maximum bonus amount one can receive from the promotion is as high as 88.88 AUD. This is actually relatively high, as most casinos do not offer as much for similar bonuses. However, cashing out the bonus requires you to wager it a certain time. Usually, with other No Deposit Bonuses, this wagering requirement is 40x-80x. Here, things are a bit different. To withdraw the promotion, your account balance needs to be as high as $1777.6. This means you not only have to play through the bonus roughly 20 times, but also score that much in winnings! Clearly, that's not a realistic requirement. Not to mention that the maximum you can cash out is just 20 AUD too, which is too little!
• Next, you can get a Daily No Deposit Bonus, as long as your account balance is 0.5 AUD or lower. The promotion has a size of 33.33 AUD. It is only possible to cash out 20 AUD, and only after your account balance has reached 688.88 AUD or more. We don't like this ridiculous wagering requirement! What even is the point of playing through the bonus that many times if you cannot even cash out the whole thing?

Kangaspin Deposit bonuses

This is the bread and butter of Kangaspin. There are multiple Deposit bonuses available throughout the day, as well as two Welcome bonuses, for the first two deposits you perform. Let's start off with them:

• The First Deposit Welcome Bonus requires a very high minimum  deposit of 50 AUD. In return, it gives you 100% of whatever you deposit, up to an unknown maximum. The wagering requirement is very low, though, and you need to play through the bonus only 5x to cash it out. Its size is possibly not all that great, given the low requirement! The maximum cash out amount is set to 1500 AUD which is fair enough.
• Next, the Second Deposit Welcome Bonus is a promotion which needs you to cash in 20 AUD or more to claim. This makes it fairly decent, but there is an issue with the fact that the maximum bonus is still not known. Either way, the bonus cash you receive is calculated as 50% of your deposits. The wagering requirement is very low, at 3x. The cash out is half of the previous bonus, sitting at 750 AUD.
• The Topup Free Bonuses are one of the main Recurring promotions with the casino. They award you with certain sums of money when your cumulative deposits for the day reach a certain amount. For instance, depositing a total of 30 AUD qualifies you for the lowest bonus of 10 AUD. Cashing in 300 AUD can grant you 75 AUD. All of these promotions need to be wagered 10x to be able to withdraw them. And the size of the maximum you can cash out is equal to the size of the receive bonus. The 10 AUD bonus will have a cashout limit of 10 AUD, for instance.
• Another similar package of promotions is the Topup Bonus package. This time around, you will receive a certain sum of money for your deposits. That will be between 5% to 15% of them for deposits between 20 AUD and 100 AUD. Higher deposits, between 200 AUD and 300 AUD will receive flat amounts of cash instead – 200 AUD will net you 38.88. The maximum bonus. for depositing 300 AUD or more, is of 58.88. In either of these two cases you are paying too much for what amounts to a 20% deposit bonus. Nevertheless, the wagering requirements are pretty small, at 3x the bonus cash. The maximum cash out limit is between 200 AUD and 1888 AUD, based on the bonus you have received.

Kangaspin Cashback Bonuses 

This is another section of very underwhelming promotions. Cashback bonuses generally allow the player to recover a certain amount of the funds they have lost while playing the games of the casino. As such, they are loved by players. This is not really the case here. Let's take a look at the unrewarding promotions:

• The Daily Cashback is a 5% rebate of your losses. The issue with it is the fact that, in order to claim it, you need to have lost at least 100 AUD per day, and have your account balance at 0.5 AUD or lower. This is a fairly restrictive condition for what is an overall low cashback percentage. At least the wagering requriement of 3x the cashback is fair. So is the cash out limit of 10x the received cashback funds.
• There is also a Weekly Cashback Bonus which is not really a cashback at all. Instead, the promotion rewards you with certain amounts of money for having deposited over certain thresholds. If you have cashed in a total of 500 AUD or more throughout the week, you will be able to get 48.88, all the way up to 98.88 for depositing 3000 AUD or more. Now, we think it is rather obvious why the promotion is unrewarding – it grants you less than 10% of the deposited amount, and the highest amount is actually even worse, coming down to a bit more than a 3% bonus for a ridiculous asking price of 3000 AUD. But that's not all! The money you get has a 5x wagering requirement to deal with and a cash out limit of 5x. Had the promotion been more rewarding, it would be fine to include such restrictions. If anything, they are low. However, it is just not worth the hassle to claim the low bonus and then wager it!

Kangaspin Referral Bonuses 

This final bunch of promotions contains the most confusing bonuses the casino has available. They incentivize you to invite friends and interact with the house's social media. Let's take a look at the promotions:

• The first of those is the Referral Bonus. It can be claimed once per day. If someone signs up with your unique referral link, you will get 2.22 AUD. What's more, the money can be withdrawn, but you need to clear a wagering requirement of 222.22 AUD. Needless to say, this is a 100x requirement, which is insane. The cash out limit is just 22.22 AUD, too! Why bother even trying to get the money out at this point?
• Secondly, there's also the Social Media Bonus. The casino describes the promotion as available to the player who joins the house on social media. What it does not point out is what it means to “join” the casino, or on what social media. Either way, you will be able to get 10 AUD for doing so, which you need to wager 20x to be able to withdraw. The cash out limit is 20 AUD. That's not a bad bonus, but we just wish we knew how it worked!
• Share and Get is another confusing promotion. The casino claims it awards players who share their referral links to social media with a bonus of 2.22 AUD. Presumably, you can also only claim the promotion once every day. Your account balance needs to be under 0.5 AUD to do so. More concerningly, there is no mention of what counts as a valid “share”, as in, where you need to be sharing your link. Either way, the money is subject to the same ridiculous 100x wagering requirement and 22.22 AUD cash out limit as the Referral bonus. We can't really say its worth trying to get it in the first place.
• Finally, there's  the Downline Deposit Bonus. Once an account you have referred to the casino places a deposit, you will get 5 AUD. The wagering requirements and cash out limits are not mentioned at all. But what we do know is that you balance needs to be of 0.5 AUD or lower to obtain the promotion. Additionally, it can be claimed only once per account introduced to the house!

License

Another issue with the casino is that it is completely unlicensed. What's more, it does not share anything about who runs it, or from where. This means you will not have access to the crucial protections and guarantees for your safety which regulated houses are able to offer you. Here is what those protections generally tend to be:

• Usually, houses collect a lot of personal info on you, regardless if they are licensed or not.  That is the case with Kangaspin as well! To sign up, you need to hand in your phone number and full legal name. That information leaking could cause you a lot of damage. To prevent that, licensed casinos need to store it safely, and encrypt it with state of the art security tools
• Most regulators also put a lot of focus on responsible gambling. This is how players can expect to get access to self-exclusion measures, and crucial information on what problem betting is and how to combat it. That is not the case with unlicensed casinos, which cannot provide you with any responsible gambling guarantees.
• Finally, the games with unlicensed houses don't need to come from verified and audited Suppliers. This means the games can pay out less than they are supposed to. They can lack the required audits to prove they are fair. So, you cannot be sure you would be winning as frequently as you otherwise would!

Overall, we recommend never dealing with unlicensed houses if you can avoid it. Back to Kangaspin, though. Here is a list of the two languages its website is available in:

Languages: Chinese, English

And here are the countries from where you will be barred from signing up from and playing:

Restricted countries: American Samoa, United States, United States Minor Outlying Islands, Virgin Islands, U.S.

Deposit and Withdrawal

When it comes to cashing in or out of the house, Kangaspin has only two means of deposit to offer at all. These are PayID transfers and crypto deposits. PayID transfers are only available in Australia, and crypto deposits can be performed from all over the world. Still, note that signing up to the house does require an active Australian phone number, so the house is not really open to deposits from non-Aussies!

Either way, here is an outline of what the deposit methods look like, as well as the currencies that you can use to deposit:

Currencies: Australian Dollar (AUD)

The minimum asking deposit is fairly low, which is good. However, there is no information about whether the house charges players with any fees. Note that, for as low the quality of the house is, we don't believe it to be asking for deposit fees. But you would still need to cover any third party charges which might be applicable to the deposit. These can be crypto miner fees and charges by the bank you are cashing in with.

Now, let's also take a look at the withdrawal conditions, too:

As you can see, besides the minimum withdrawal amount, not much is known at all! This minimum is too high, though. 50 AUD is really outside of what any reasonable house can expect from its players these days.

The lack of Terms and Conditions means that the maximum withdrawal, the withdrawal processing times and whether there are any charges is entirely up to anyone's guess! We don't like that one bit! Note that there is likely no withdrawal fee, but the third party charges we mentioned will be left to the player to cover.

There is also the issue of the casino having no information about whether it requires you to wager your deposits a certain amount of times before withdrawing them. This is a common AML policy which we have seen with other unlicensed houses before. No information is given as to whether there are inactivity fees either.

Games and Game Suppliers

There are a bunch of weird Suppliers on the casino's website. These are unlicensed companies with names like KING888 and Mario Party. Among them are a couple of reliable casino software developers as well. Take a look at those:

Game providers: CQ Gaming, Spade Gaming, PragmaticPlay, Funky Games, Other, Yggdrasil

Either way, even with the shady and potentially unlicensed Suppliers, there is not much to play in the library of Kangaspin. It features a couple of game types:

Slots: There are games with titles like Queen of Dead, Xmas, Disco Night and so on. However, we cannot verify whether there are any popular slots from the major Suppliers Kangaspin partners with. Even though it says that it features Pragmatic Play's games, there's no mention of Big Bass bonanza, Gates of Olympus and so on being available. The slots are very disorganized in general, and browsing them is fairly annoying.

Table Games: There are a bunch of classic table games, like Baccarat, Poker, Blackjack and Roulettes, with Craps and Mahjong as well. These games are supposedly available in virtual and live dealer formats both, but the latter were not accessible!

Sportsbook: Surprisingly enough, the casino features no less than four different Sportsbooks. As to their contents, however, we can only guess! None of them actually work, at least at the time of writing. Perhaps they are just unfinished. There were no Sports bonuses either, so they are definitely an afterthought either way!

Conclusion

Overall, we simply consider Kangaspin to be one of the worst online casinos launched in 2023. The house just has nothing going for it! From the lackluster deposit and withdrawal policies, to the shallow range of games, and the overwhelming amount of underwhelming bonuses, there's no reason to bother with this house.
