Casino Blu Casino Review

Welcome Bonus and Promotions

Review readers can start strong at Blu Casino by depositing to receive a 300% welcome bonus. New depositors can receive up to €600 in bonus credit, which needs to be played through 20x times the deposit and bonus value. To clarify, the welcome bonus is only intended for playing on slot games.

A further €600 in bonus funds can be unlocked on your second deposit. However, this time the bonus percentage is halved to 150%. While a €200 deposit can unlock the €600 welcome bonus, a €400 deposit will now be required to release the €600 bonus on your second deposit.

The first four weeks with CasinoBlu can potentially deliver another €800 in bonus credit. The funds are released via four 100% bonus offers up to €200. Each bonus deal is available on a Sunday and shall expire once the initial four-week timeframe comes to an end.

BluCasino also explains in the on-site promotional materials that daily bonus promotions can be claimed in the long run. While the daily bonus deals are open to change, there is a weekly opportunity to receive free spins along with a further injection of bonus credit. To be eligible for Free Spins Friday, review readers will need to note down the bonus code: "FRIDAYSPINS".

With that code, review readers can deposit from €20 to €29.99 to receive 25 free spins and a 100% match bonus. From €30 to €49.99, the reward will be 40 free spins and a 100% bonus. Finally, deposits of €50 or more are treated to 60 free spins and a €500 bonus. Wagering requirements are 20x unless specified otherwise and the free spins are exclusively playable on BetSoft slots.

As a regular player, review readers can enter the VIP club and receive one bonus point for every €1 wagered. Eventually, 100 bonus points can be exchanged for €1 cash. VIPs can receive a bonus free each week with no deposit required - click here for other examples. There are also VIP managers who can award further no deposit free spins and various other exclusive bonus rewards.

Casino Blu Bonus and Promotions for Canada

At the time of review, Casino Blu provided all bonus offers and free spins in EUR as the default currency. Canada players are welcome to convert from CAD to EUR and receive any such bonus offers. Moving forward, however, we want to see a CAD-friendly equivalent of the current bonus package. If you want to find other deals, see our best-listed online casinos with Canada bonuses that are claimable in CAD.

Game Tech Group at Casino Blu

On Windows devices, Casino Blu Canada can operate from either a web browser or downloadable software, which is made possible by a software platform provided by Game Tech Group. For review readers, there is a download button that can be used to install the software from the top-level menu of the casino homepage.

Windows is the only operating system capable of installing Blu Casino. Consequently, Mac users can only play from a compatible web browser. Safari is available as a native option, though countless Mac users prefer to install Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox instead. And review readers should be ready to install the Adobe Flash plugin to ensure the smooth operation of in-game graphics.

Casino Blu has software deals with more than a dozen providers, though could stand to secure a few more. Even still, review readers can enjoy high-quality gaming content from the likes of BetSoft, Wazdan, Lucky Streak, 1X2, Mr Slotty, Booongo, Fugaso, Evoplay, Booming, Playson, Gameburger and Felix.

Mobile Gaming/Live Casino for Canada

Casino Blu Canada is functional from mobile web browsers and not a downloadable app. Therefore, no installation is needed before gaming can begin. In fact, review readers can try visiting the URL with no deposit to ensure that their mobile device is compatible. If all is well, they can proceed to the €2,000 welcome package.

As for the live casino, Blu has invested in a few specialist providers, having secured software from the likes of Lucky Streak, Super Spade, VIVO and Ezugi. Each is capable of operating live dealer tables to a high standard, though doesn't quite reach the standard of Evolution Gaming, which is absent here.

Across the handful of software providers, there are more than 100 live dealer tables. From the colossal selection, review readers can select the likes of Dragon Tiger, Baccarat, Caribbean Poker, Lucky 6, Battle of Elements, Backgammon, VIP Blackjack with Surrender, Diamond Roulette and Bet on Numbers. Please note that it helps to review the table limits before selecting where to play.

Comparing Software Providers for Casinos

When considering an online casino, the software provider is a crucial aspect that can significantly impact your gaming experience. From graphics quality to the selection of games, each software provider offers a distinct set of features and advantages.

Progressive Jackpots - Winners

Unfortunately, we couldn't find any stories of jackpot winners at Casino Blu Canada. Thus far, the casino site hasn't shared any information with the media. Nevertheless, we were able to find several jackpot slots to recommend, including Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways, Genie Jackpots: Cave of Wonders, Playboy Gold Jackpots and Jackpot Builders.

Banking Options for Canada

During our review, Casino Blue was set up to accept payments in EUR, meaning that no deposit was processed in CAD. Instead, CAD transactions are converted at the current exchange rate offered by the payment provider. With no deposit option for CAD, the welcome package will be delivered in EUR.

For Canada users who are willing to convert their currency, Casino Blu can process instant payments in a wide variety of options, including VISA Electron, VISA, Maestro, MasterCard, paysafecard, POLi, Skrill, Neteller, PostePay, iDeal, GiroPay and SOFORT. What can also be revealed is that minimum deposits are €20 and maximum withdrawals are €5,000 per month.

Customer Support

Initially, the help centre looks effective if review readers focus on the frequently asked questions (FAQs) and game rules. However, it then became apparent in our review that Blu Casino doesn't operate a live chat platform. What can be utilised, however, is an email address and a telephone line, which is operational from 09:00 to 22:00 (GMT).

Security and Fairness at Casino Blu

Blu Casino Canada is more secure than the outdated FAQs would lead you to believe. Nowadays, the casino site is protected by 256-bit SHA encryption instead of 128-bit SSL. Ultimately, the encryption is certified by a renowned industry specialist in the shape of Cloudflare.

The fairness of Casino Blue hinges on the operator holding a Gaming Curacao licence and undergoing routine testing from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI). While a link is supplied to the operating licence, Blu is yet to provide any in-depth data on the independent testing of its software.

Casino History/Complaints

Formed in 2014, Casino Blu was owned and operated by Vega World Solutions N.V. of Curacao as of this Canada review. Further operational support services are delivered by Handfree Trading Limited, which is a Cypriot subsidiary of Vega World Solutions. Game Tech Group N.V. is also associated with Blu as the software platform provider.

Casino Blu has undergone review by many of the leading portals in the marketplace. Complaints have been quite rare and the brand has avoided widespread criticism on this front, though it does score low for technical quality when compared to the market leaders - see Leo Vegas Casino Canada as an example.

Player Location Restrictions

For this Canada review, we found that no deposit would be permitted by Casino Blu from any of the following locations: Albania, Algeria, Angola, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Ecuador, Guyana, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Laos, Myanmar, Namibia, Nicaragua, North Korea, Pakistan, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sudan, Syria, Taiwan, Uganda, UK (including overseas dependencies), US (including overseas territories), Yemen or Zimbabwe.

Unique Casino Features for Canada

While conducting this review, we have determined that CasinoBlu can do more to accommodate players who live here in Canada. Although review readers have the option to switch the language from English to French, no deposit can remain in CAD, which isn't convenient for receiving the welcome package and free spins. Following this Canada review, the operator can consider updating the cashier with CAD-friendly payment options.
