Eskimo Casino Review

Eskimo Casino is by all definitions a newcomer in the world of online casinos. The casino was only founded in 2017, which makes it one of the newest additions on the scene. Yet within no time, the casino managed to propel itself to the top of the casino charts as thousands of people flocked to the Eskimos to play their favourite casino games. Eskimo Casino is owned by Lux Entertainment Ltd., a gaming company based on the Mediterranean island of Malta, which is also an EU member state. On this island, the casino has been granted a full license which allows them to operate in a huge variety of countries across the world. It is regulated and licences by the MGA (the abbreviation of the Malta Gaming Authority) and has been given the license number of MGA/B2C/400/2017.

According to Lux Entertainment, Eskimo Casino is currently “the hottest place around in the cool world of online casinos”. It is proud that Eskimo Casino operates in full compliance with the rules and regulations set by the Malta Gaming Authority, adding that the casino offers its customers the best possible standards at all times. As an example it lists that only provides “the coolest, highest-quality games” to its players. Are these just simple promotional talks? Or is there truth to these statements and is there really a reason why many people are flocking to Eskimo Casino? We will have an look at this casino in our unbiased review, going over both the positive sides as well as the downsides of this casino, so that you as a player can make up your own mind whether or not Eskimo Casino is the next place for you to play!

Pros
  • Wide variety of top-notch games
  • Possibility to try out all games for free
  • Cool theme and design
Cons
  • Daily pay-out limit on the low side
  • Lack of recurring bonuses for loyal players

A cool casino for European players

While many online casinos have multiple language options on their website, Eskimo Casino is strictly in the English language only. Also when it comes to accepted currencies at this casino, the choice is limited. You can only open an online casino account with euro (EUR) as your preferred currency, or opt for Norwegian krone (NOK) or Swedish krona (SEK). The casino is clearly focused most on players from EU member states, although the casino is also accessible to players from certain countries outside the EU. That said, this casino is clearly more limited in its extent than other casinos around. If you hail from countries such as Germany, Holland, Belgium, Southern or Central and Eastern Europe, it might however still be a great casino for you – if you speak English that is. Even if you do not fully master the English language, the casino website is very easy to navigate and most games are quite universal anyway.

Software from the best casino gaming companies

Eskimo Casino writes on its own website that it is proud to “being able to provide our customers with only the coolest, highest-quality games”, calling their assortment of games a “plentiful product portfolio” with all games coming from “renowned vendors”. Let’s have a look if this is just PR talk or if it really is based on the truth.

At Eskimo Casino, you will find games from well-known software providers such as Micrograming, Amatic, Big Time Gaming, Stakelogic and NetEnt. All of these are major companies in the world of casino gaming and can be trusted when it comes to deliver state-of-the-art games that look great and are exciting to play. Perhaps more importantly, all the games developed by these companies are checked and licensed by the relevant authorities. This means that they all use software such as a RNG (Random Number Generator) to generate a completely random outcome to each game, meaning that cheating is impossible and you have a honest chance to win at your favourite game, whether this might be roulette, blackjack or video slots.

Of these providers, Amatic provides mostly slots to Eskimo Casino. You can expect both old-fashioned fruit machines as well as cool video slots which feel very similar to those in a physical casino. Big Time Gaming on the other hand is mostly known for modern video slots such as Bonanza and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Microgaming, one of the biggest companies in the online casino world and a pioneer in video slots, has its popular Mega Moolah slot, while NetEnt is responsible for live casino games, table games as well as a handful of video slots.

Test play all casino games

A nice feature of Eskimo Casino is that you can test play every individual game without actually betting money on it. This way, you can get accustomed to a new video slot or to a table game where you might not yet be very familiar with the rules and might want to practice a few rounds before giving it a real try. Needless to say, this is an especially great option for beginning gamblers, as it allows them to practice without potentially losing money. That said, we can recommend this feature even to the more experienced players, as playing for free is a good way to get accustomed with the casino gameplay and all features. It is a great option as well for those who are still undecided whether Eskimo Casino is the place for them – just compare it with taking a test drive if you want to buy a new car!

eskimo slots

There are plenty of slots available to play at Eskimo Casino!

High limit games at Eskimo Casino

There is plenty of action for everyone with the Eskimos of Eskimo Casino. Of course, if you are a newcomer to online casinos and casino gaming, or simply might not want to spend too much money putting down some bets, there are lots of options for low stake gaming. It is fairly easy to find a suitable video slot or table game with low minimum wagers, allowing you to start betting at amounts as low as 0.10 EUR to around 1 EUR. Making low wagers does not automatically mean that your potential earnings are meagre too. If you play at one of the progressive video slots you might be able to hit the jackpot – which can reach heights well above a million euro.

For those who want some high stakes action, there is also plenty to be found at Eskimo Casino. Table games such as baccarat, roulette and blackjack can all be played in the special ‘VIP mode’ which allows you to make extra high bets. There are also video slots where you can make extra high bets for some real high stakes action. One of such examples is the Jackhammer video slot made by NetEnt, which allows for bets of up to 250 EUR per spin. Software provider Stakelogic even beats this with its famous Multiplayer video slot, which allows bets of up to 400 EUR! Of course, most high rollers want to focus however on the table games, be it the digital tables or the live casino version. High rollers who fancy roulette will be happy to hear that Eskimo Casino allows them to bet a maximum of 2,000 EUR at roulette. High bets are possible as well at baccarat (especially the popular Punto Banco version) as you can place bets here of up to 1,000 EUR.

Live casino games at Eskimo Casino

Of course, these games we mentioned are just the tip of the iceberg as there is plenty more at Eskimo Casino. Like most modern-day online casinos, also Eskimo Casino has a real live casino which you can play through a video feed at real tables with live dealers and croupiers, making you feel like you are actually standing behind a table in Las Vegas! The live casino, which is made by NetEnt, allows for even higher bets than you will find at the normal digital games at Eskimo Casino. It is not uncommon to see players putting down wagers equal to the maximum limit of 5,000 EUR.

Some of the games which are offered at the live casino are Live Blackjack, Live Common Draw Blackjack, VIP Live Blackjack, Live Blackjack Pro, Live Roulette, Live Mobile Roulette High Roller, VIP Live Roulette and Live Baccarat. We found the live casino games to be eminently playable, with video feeds working without problems or interference, and dealers all being extremely professional, polite and welcoming, creating an exciting casino atmosphere right in your living room or wherever you might be playing from!

Bonuses and promotional offers at Eskimo Casino

Eskimo online casino offers its players some cool bonuses from the start. Even without depositing money to your only account the casino already hands out 10 free spins upon completion of your registration. You just need to fill in all your personal details and to create and account and the ten free spins will be automatically credited to your account! We do love such bonuses which are given out that easily. The bonus is valid on a select number of video slots. Among these slots are such all-time greats as Aloha, Starburst, Shangri-La and also Wild, Wild West. Any money that you might win from the 10 free spins is subject to a wagering requirement of 30 times. If you for example win 100 EUR while playing on Starburst with your 10 free spins, it means you first need to wage a total of 3,000 EUR before the bonus gets fully unlocked and you can cash it out.

The current welcome bonus at Eskimo Casino is a 100 percent deposit bonus up to a maximum of 100 euro. If you want to get the maximum 100 euro bonus, you have to deposit 100 euro of your own money to your online casino account. Also this bonus is subject to a wagering requirement, so you would have to play first some games with your own bankroll before the bonus will be fully unlocked an you can withdraw it as casino profits. All combined these bonuses for newly registered users are quite decent – although for sure not groundbreaking. We would say that the bonuses are rather average compared to some other high profile casinos which at times can offer bonuses two to three times as big.

Eskimo mobile casino

Many casino fans nowadays are looking for experiences beyond the standard online casino play on their computer or laptop. In our current society, in which we are all constantly busy, on the move – and of course, at the same time always online on our mobile phones – it is not unusual to demand that an online casino is also accessible on a smartphone. Most online casinos nowadays have a fully fledged mobile casino, which either consists of a website especially adapted to a mobile browser, or a special app which you can download. Luckily our little Eskimos are modern-minded and do have a great working mobile casino.

Eskimo website

Eskimo does not only have cool games but at times also hot bonuses!

Eskimo Casino has a specially adapted mobile website which runs smoothly on whichever smartphone you use to access it. The graphics and gameplay are all adjusted to your smartphone, making sure that the website is easily navigable and that games run smoothly, Eskimo Casino uses HTML5 as well as Flash technology on their mobile casino. We tested it on both Apple and Android phones and can happily report that it worked perfectly fine on both.

Payment methods at Eskimo Casino

Eskimo Casino allows its members to make deposits to their online casino accounts on their payment page using many different payment methods. The good news is that payments with your credit card or e-wallet are instantly processed, meaning that you immediately can start playing. The minimum deposit which is required is currently 10 EUR – you cannot deposit any amount less than this.

Besides credit cards (both MasterCard and Visa) and e-wallets (for example Skrill and Neteller) you can use a variety of other payment options to get money to your online casino account. You can use prepaid cards such as the Paysafecard, which you can buy at numerous shops in most European countries, or just simply transfer the money from your own bank. You can also use national options which are only available in a certain number of European countries and lesser known payment methods such as iDeal, Sofort, Trustly and Zimpler. Do note that any payment option involving bank transfers or similar technologies (iDeal, Sofort) might take up to three days to be processed.

Cashing out your casino profits

Perhaps more important than depositing money to your online casino account is getting your casino profits paid out. In the world of online casinos it is always the case that there are more options to pay than there are available methods in which you can request your money to be cashed out. Limits are often as well much more strict when it comes to payouts than they are for payments. Currently the maximum payout limit at Eskimo Casino is 5,000 EUR per day. This means that if you win a higher amount than this, let’s say for example 500,000 EUR while playing a progressive jackpot slot, your profit will be paid in 100 separate transfers over 100 consecutive days, so you might have to wait for a while to receive all your money if you happen to win big!

The casino can pay out your hard-earned winnings on your credit card, e-wallet or make a transfer to your bank account. It takes around three to five days on average to receive the money in your e-wallet or on your credit card. It can take easily a week until you have received the money on your bank account if you opt for this payment method.

How safe are payments at Eskimo Casino?

Payments at Eskimo Casino are as safe as any other trusted, fully licensed casino on the internet. All payment pages, whether it is for depositing money on your online account or requesting a payout, are fully secured and all date is encrypted before it is transmitted. We of course always recommend you to take precautions at your own end, like only making payments at a secured home network and never on an open or public network, but if you are a person who is careful when it comes to banking instances you have nothing to fear at all when it comes to making payments to Eskimo Casino.

The same counts for cashing out your casino profits. You do not have to worry about not receiving your earnings you have fought so hard for during all those hours playing casino games. Do however note that you must fulfil any potential wagering requirements (especially with bonuses!) before you can withdraw money – so do read the terms and conditions carefully. Do also note that Eskimo Casino – just like other casinos in the business – have a firm demand that money can only be paid out to an account which matches the name of your online casino profile. The casino can ask for proof of your identity, for example by asking you to send a copy of your passport by email to the help desk. This is a common security measure which is meant to protect your money and for the casino to ensure that nobody is cheating or playing under false identities.

Eskimo Casino help desk

One often overlooked feature of every online casino is the help desk. This is strange, as in our opinion a good functioning customer service is one of the most important features you would want in a casino. In case something might go wrong during a game or with a payment, or if you might have a pressing question, you of course want to be helped as soon as possible by knowledgeable help desk agents. The last thing you want is calling an expensive phone line where you are put on hold for hours, wait for days until you receive an email back, or be brushed off by an incompetent employee.

Luckily, the Eskimo Casino help desk is not like that as the casino has a well-trained and highly experienced help desk team waiting to help you out with whatever problem you might face. The great aspect about the help desk of Eskimo Casino is that you can reach the support team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The best way to do this is through the live chat, which you can find in the right-bottom corner of your screen when accessing any part of the Eskimo Casino website, including its games. You can thus even contact the help desk while playing a few rounds of blackjack or so!

If you want to get a person on the line, you can call the casino at +356 3550 5030. This is a Maltese telephone number, as the casino is based on the island of Malta and is regulated by the Maltese gaming authority. Do note that international charges may well apply to your call – although the good news is that with Malta being an EU member state, callers from other European countries will often pay the same charges as for any domestic call irrespective of whether you might be based in Germany or Spain!

Our final verdict

It can often be quite a difficult feat to find an online casino which fits your preferences and playing style. Eskimo Casino is a casino that is a favourite among many players for a variety of reasons. After testing the casino, we can indeed concur that there are many aspects which this casino does particularly well.

We do appreciate the variety of games at Eskimo Casino, all of them coming from trusted software developers which are among the biggest names in the industry. A great aspect is that you can try out all these games for free without waging real money. This is not only a great way for beginning gamblers to get accustomed to new games, but also for pretty much every player out there who wants to get a feel how playing at Eskimo Casino feels like. We think the design of the casino is superb – we do love those little Eskimos and their tiny igloos, it really is an unique design which adds to the atmosphere at this casino. Also the gaming experience is great. All games run perfectly, both in full version and on the mobile casino.

However, we have a bit of mixed feelings whether or not the casino is a great option for high rollers. Sure, it is not a bad casino at all for any high-stake gambler. There are plenty of video slots and table games suitable for high rollers, games which allow for some really high maximum bets. At the other hand, we do find the daily 5,000 EUR payout limit a bit low – and think in general that payouts should be speed up a bit by the casino.

Another disadvantage are the bonus and promotional offers. The welcome offer is actually quite decent, with 10 free spins being given without a player even transferring any money to his or her online account besides the maximum 100 euro deposit bonus. Sure, we have seen much higher bonuses, but it really is not a bad deal. That said, we do think that there is a bit of a lack of regular bonus offer and promotional campaigns for loyal players. These are given at times, but in our opinion could be offered at a more regular basis.

In general we do however still think that Eskimo Casino is a good casino to play at. It is a trustworthy casino with an excellent help desk, great selection of games and good mobile experience. Also the live casino experience is quite good as well. We however would recommend it more to beginning gamblers who might only play on an irregular and occasional basis than we would to the real high rollers, even though some of them might also feel at home here due to the fine gameplay and unique casino environment.
