LuckyBay Casino Review: Scam or Safe?

Overall, most elements that are the constituents of LuckyBay Casino are faulty. There is an underlining issue that has spread throughout the entire casino, both on its interface as well as its legal and gaming situation. Throughout the reviewing process we never once fell on a positive note. Read on to see what we mean.

BONUSES

First Deposit Welcome Bonus of 300% up to €8000 Plus 200 Free Spins: Invest at least €20 to activate this bonus. There is a wagering requirement set at 40 times the deposit plus bonus, ass well as 40x the free spins profit. The maximum withdrawal amount, i.e cash-out, is capped at €100 for the free spins, and €2000 for the percentage bonus. The bonus is available for 7 days, while the free spins are available for only 24 hours, which is not nearly enough time.

Second Deposit Welcome Bonus of 150% up to €8000 Plus 100 Free Spins: This bonus ahs the exact same conditions as the one above: a minimum deposit of €20, a 40x wagering for the deposit + bonus as well as the free spins profits, and a maximum cashout of €2000 for the bonus and €100 for the free spins.

Third Deposit Welcome Bonus of 100% up to €8000 Plus 100 Free Spins: The same condition as the ones above apply. All we can say is that the FS are valid for such a limited time that most clients will not be able to complete the wagering on them, and it will be difficult to profit form this bonus.

No Deposit Welcome Bonus of 125 Free Spins: This is the no deposit bonus, a scheme that is available only to newly registered users, and is completely free in that the client does not need to invest to activate it. However, any wins that have been won can be played with only after the client invests at least €20. The free spins will expire after 24 hours of being activated, during which time you will have to wager the FS profits an undisclosed number of times. The user must absolutely now what these wagering conditions are, and the fact that the casino has not included them is a big issue, and one that can potentially make this bonus worthless. However, the casino tempts its users by stating that the maximum cash-out may be 40 times the wins from the free spins. Not an honorable move to say the least.

LICENSE

LuckyBay Casino is said to be owned by Placebo N.V., which is allegedly a firm incorporated under the laws of Curacao, and as such holds a gambling license from there. The license in the case of this casino is issued by Gaming Services Provider N.V., or Curacao Gaming N.V.

However, there is no way to verify this information. The worst part is that the seal that should have provided the legal info is not actually available. The seal itself is there but is has not link to it. So there's no way to visit the page and see if LuckyBay Casino is telling the truth.  The annoying this is that there is no real way to make sure if LuckyBay Casino is licensed or not, because the regulator has not made it possible to do so. So for now, we cannot be 100% sure if the casino is licensed.

We have to tell you, that even unregulated casino shave lasting and lucrative lifecycles. In any case, the lack of a license is rarely an indication that you are dealing with a truly suspicious entity. And then, there's LuckyBay Casino.

This casino turned out to be much more worse that we though, with an obvious tendency to do things in a non standard way, which to us seemed like an approach that only autonomous casino can take. In short, we have more reason to believe that LuckyBay Casino is not licensed, than it it. But even if it isn't, that does not make it a scam, but only a riskier investment endeavor because it vaults over certain rules and regulations. So be careful with this one, because as you can see it does take full advantage of its ambiguous state.

The casino at times refers to certain cryptocurrency based payment methods and dealings, and there might very well be some crypto payment methods. So, we have to tell you to be careful with any crypto dealings, especially with the likes of LuckyBay Casino, which are at their best time precarious. All crypto transactions are by default risky, since the value of a digital coin is unpredictable, and can change radically in less than a minute. This can result in some swift losses.

A clause that we hoped not to find was the following, saying that the casino can amend the terms and conditions at any time without prior notice. So, LuckyBay Casino can essentially place any convenient clauses whenever it wants, which can affect the user in more negative ways than positive, at any given moment, without telling its players. This is not really the behavior of a casino that respects or abides by standard online gambling principles.

The payment methods we have disclosed are not entirely accurate, because there is a clause in the legal documents that states that the actual available payment methods can only be revealed after contacting the support team. And that these are based on the user's specific jurisdiction. So, in other words, the payment methods remain vague.

There are certain available cryptocurrency based payment methods, so make sure you are aware of the associated risks.

There are system fees launched by the payment service providers, that can go up to €20. Most payment methods may include these, and they are nothing new. Also there may be currency conversion fees.

However, what concerned us is the following provision:

This seems to be a withdrawal fee charged by the casino at its own discretion. So this fee can be decided on the spot and that is pretty much freedom granted to the casino by itself to profit on each cash-out occasion.

All deposits have to be played through at least twice in order to be able to withdraw any funds. The casino has not disclosed what the consequences are for not following this rule. All we know is that there either is a large fee or a total blockage of the withdrawable amount.

Also, there is a chargeback provisions stating that all such payments are not without consequence. In case of a chargeback the user will have to repay the casino in order to compensate financial the casino after the chargeback. In the worst case, the casino can close down the account of the user after a chargeback was detected.

Last but not least, there is a inactive account fee. The client will be charged a €5 fee per month if an account has not been active for more that 12 months.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

LuckyBay Casino gaming section is somewhat well presented, but there's more to be done; the logos of games seem slightly out of proportion and thus can be distracting. The visuals aside, the level of organization is bad. The slot games and live casino sections look exactly the same, and thus both game types have been mixed up, and there is no easy way to filter out individual games or game types; Worst of all, there was no search bar. So the whole process of finding a game becomes a chore, and quite the unnecessary one.

The slot games situation is average at best, with games like The Angler, The Tipsy Tourist, A Night in Paris, Book of Egypt, Bamboo Rush, Aztec Magic Megaways, Flaming Chilies, Charms Treasures, Elvis Frog in Vegas, and more being made available. There are also some Megaways, Hold and Spins, and Jackpot slots, adding some variety, but overall the package is not the best.

As we said, the live and table games are mixed with the slots, which is the worst approach we can think of and is emblematic of a casino that lacks a level of professionalism that we usually associate with these platforms. With that said, the live and table games include versions of Poker, Blackjack, Teen Patti, Roulette, Baccarat, and others. But the collection seems relatively low and limited.

And that is all the casino has to offer in terms of its games. Do you think that in 2023 such a limited supply of games is competitive or even acceptable? In terms of the games we see no reason to invest in LuckyBay Casino.

Game providers: Betsoft, Wazdan, Platipus, Habanero, Evolution, Tom Horn, Booming Games, Ezugi, PragmaticPlay, Belatra, Alg, GameArt, Mr Slotty, LuckyStreak

To make matters worse, the number of providers is telling of the low selection of games overall. This means that either most providers don't want to work with LuckyBay Casino, or that the casino itself is not serious enough to make offers.

CONCLUSION

There are casinos where the cons outweigh the pros to some acceptable ratio, but with LuckyBay Casino that ratio is close to 1:6, if not more. We found nothing good about the casino, and so cannot recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately, there isn't even a speck of potential here, which to us results in a waste.
