Go Wild Casino Review

Go Wild was founded in 2008 but only started operations in 2009 after receiving a full licence to operate gambling activities from the Malta Gaming Authority on 23rd September. It is on this Mediterranean island that Go Wild has its headquarters and is still being run. From the start of casino operations, Go Wild has worked closely together with software provider Microgaming to make sure they have the best casino games possible for their brand new online platform which has been described by some as bing almost revolutionary. Go Wild still tries to feature new games at least very month to make sure the casino remains up there among the world’s best online casinos. Go Wild fully adheres to the eCOGRA regulations for fair banking rules. Combined with their Malta licence and trusted software made by casino gaming giants means that Go Wild is a secure casino to deposit your money and to wage a bet or two.

With its Malta gambling licence, the Go Wild online casino is available in most countries across the world. While some online casinos do have strict limitations as to players from which country can actually make an online account and start playing, Go Wild has taken the effort to legally offer their casino games to a worldwide audience. We can see this back when looking at the different languages in which the platform is accessible. These are of course major languages such as English, German, French and Spanish, but also languages such as Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish and Russian. The same can be seen when we take a look at the currencies being offered by the casino. These are of course the British pound sterling (GBP), euro (EUR) and American dollar (USD), but also the Brazilian real (BRL), Danish krone (DKK), Norwegian krone (NOK), Swedish krone (SEK), Hong Kong dollar (HKD), Thai bath (THB) and Australian dollar (AUD).

A major disadvantage is however that the casino is currently not reachable for people residing in the United States and the United Kingdom, although this might hopefully change at a future date!

Of course, an essential part of each online casino is the gaming experience, which is mostly determined by the online platform and all the games which you can play at the casino. The quality and quantity of the games can determine whether a casino feels old and smallish, or has more the feel of a place where you instantly feel the excitement and know that you will not easily get bored. At Go Wild online casino, you for sure will not get bored as there are more than 600 games which you can play. These games are designed by the greatest software developers in the casino industry such as NetEnt, Microgaming, Evolution Gaming, Play’n GO, Betsoft, iSoftBet, Visionary iGaming, Yggdrasil Gaming, Pragmatic Play and Quickfire.

There are hundreds of different slots to be found at Go Wild Casino.

All these software companies have given their best games to Go Wild, which means that all the famous titles which you might have heard of before are there to play. For example, NetEnt has made available games such as the famous video slots of Starburst and Vikings to Go Wild’s online casino. The games from Betsoft Gaming which Go Wild uses are known for their excellent 3D technologies, while Play’n GO focuses on the best of mobile games. Of course, besides the video slots and special mobile games there are as well the table games such as roulette, blackjack, baccarat, craps and poker. All these games are readily available at Go Wild – you will surely not get bored at this casino!

Those who might look for some different kind of gambling fun will be pleased to learn that Go Wild regularly organises special tournaments. These special tournaments are held in cooperation with software provider Microgaming, with prizes running up to a total of 80,000 dollar. Make sure you watch the frequent promotions on the Go Wild website so you know when the next tournament will be scheduled.

The interesting aspect of all these games is that they have a huge potential for high stakes players who like to gamble significant amounts of money. Let’s be clear first that Go Wild’s games are there for everyone. Beginning players or those on a tight budget can easily play at a wide variety of video slots and all table games for low limits. An evening playing at the Go Wild online casino really does not have to break the bank! There are however also some great options available for high rollers at this casino. Even though the normal maximum betting limits at the tables are quite average to be honest, there are easy ways to circumvent these limits and make sure you can really get some high stakes action at Go Wild.

You can do this by joining the so-called Go Wild VIP Club – which is the place where high rollers should flock to for high stakes gaming fun. The Go Wild VIP Club is a special membership programme which the real high rollers can join. This exclusive programme gives access to exactly those games and high maximum limits which high rollers tend to love most. Go Wild’s VIPs have access to special promotions and bonuses as well. They even get their own dedicated casino manager who is always there if you have questions or requests. These manages will also brief you as a high roller about the latest events and offers which are tailor-made for you.

You however do not need to be a high roller to get some exclusive deals. Everyone – no matter the amount of money you wage – can join the loyalty programme of Go Wild for free. This programme is especially made for frequent customers as Go Wild likes to thank their loyal players for their business. The longer you play at the casino and the more you bet, the higher the level in the loyalty scheme you will reach. These categories are called ‘prestige levels’ within the loyalty scheme, and obviously the higher the prestige level you reach, the more exclusive the deals are which you can get. Those in the highest categories get better bonuses, exclusive promotions, freebies and invitations to special events.

Let’s call a spade a spade and be clear about it from the start. Go Wild’s bonus offers are truly fantastic and among the best aspects of this casino. In this particular field, Go Wild surely scores among the best casinos you will find on the internet. The good thing is that these bonuses are there both for new customers as well as for frequent visitors.

To start of with the welcome bonus, Go Wild’s new players can expect a 100 percent deposit bonus of up to 333 euro on their first deposit to their online casino account. Your first deposit has to be a minimum of 10 euro – although it is of course better to transfer more than that if you want to maximise the potential bonus you can get. You can get the maximum bonus by depositing 333 euro to your online account. Go Wild will match your bonus by giving you another 333 euro – all for free. You can thus start your playing adventure with 666 euro in your online casino account. That is quite a bankroll for some good old casino fun! Of course, you can deposit more money than 333 euro if you want, although the welcome bonus you will get will get will not go above the maximum 333 euro.

It is always important to take a close look at the terms and conditions of any casino bonus – no matter which casino you are playing with. Go Wild’s welcome bonus has a wagering requirement of 35 times. This is more or less the average wagering requirement in the online casino world, so it is neither good nor bad. It means that you need to wage the bonus a total of 35 times before you can cash it out. In practice, this means that if you got the maximum 333 euro bonus, you will have to make bets totalling 11,655 euro in order to be able to withdraw the bonus into your own pockets. If you are a regular casino player who wins about as much as you lose, this is however easily reachable.

Go Wild is really dedicated when it comes to kick starting your casino career as the fun does not end after the welcome bonus. On the contrary, Go Wild has a special second and third deposit bonus for those who decide to play at this casino. To get these bonuses, all you have to do is to make a minimum deposit of 20 euro, although a higher deposit will get you a higher bonus. The second bonus is a 50 percent deposit bonus to a maximum of 200 euro. You will also get an additional 25 free spins which you can use on a select number of video slots. To get the full 200 euro in bonus money, you would thus have to make a minimum deposit of 400 euro.

The third deposit bonus is even higher, as this is a 100 percent bonus which is capped at a maximum of 500 euro. Also with this bonus, you will receive an additional 25 free spins which are valid on a select number of slots. To get the full amount of bonus money, you would thus have to deposit 500 euro to your online casino account, as Go Wild will then match your payment by giving another 500 euro completely for free. If you combine the first, second and third deposit bonus – Go Wild does have one of the most lavish bonus offers you can find on the internet.

If you like to play casino games in your spare time – especially during holidays – then Go Wild might be a casino for you. The casino always has special offers to brighten up the holiday times even more. For example, during Christmas the casino is known to hand out free spins and other bonuses. Santa Claus really comes early this time of the year, as Go Wild also organises special draws in which players can win some grand prizes. If a big holiday is approaching, you better keep a close watch on the casino website and the dashboard of your online account to see if something special might be up.

Special bonuses are however not only given during holiday times, but occur about every single week. Go Wild has special campaigns on given days of the week. For example, every Monday at Go Wild is called ‘Mobile Monday’. During this day you will always get a 25 percent reload bonus if you deposit money to your online casino account. Additionally, you will get free spins on a video slot called Piggy Riches.

When it comes to its design and general playability – we are very happy with Go Wild. The website looks fresh and the casino platform runs smoothly at all times when playing at our laptop or computer. However, it is nowadays equally important for a casino to have the same performances and looks when a player opts to access the casino from his or her smartphone or tablet. Luckily, Go Wild does not disappoint here. The casino has a special app which you can download on your smartphone, allowing you to play whenever you want wherever you might be. Interestingly, the casino also has some exclusive offers which are only given to those who access the casino through the smartphone app. Even if you prefer playing on your computer, it therefore still makes sense to download the app as well.

The Go Wild app (based on a Microgaming platform) can be downloaded on almost every smartphone or tablet. It has been customised in such a way that there are apps for all major platforms (iPhone, Android, Windows) which makes it easy to play whatever your favourite brand of mobile phone might be. All applications are regularly updated to keep them free of bugs and to ensure that the latest games are playable.

There is however one downside when it comes to the mobile experience. Not all games which are available on the website when accessing it on your computer or laptop are available on your smartphone as well. Only about 50 games have so far been optimised for playing on your smartphone. Although that number is not great when compared to the vast selection of games which you can normally access through the Go Wild website, it is not bad either as the most important games can be played on your mobile phone. We have to say that the Android version is a bit better than the other apps – as the Android app does have more than 50 games available.

That said, we do appreciate the smooth running app of Go Wild as it is one of the easier ones to use. The app is far from complicated, runs smoothly on all platforms, and is easy to navigate thanks to the straightforward and clear interface. While at other platforms players might lose a lot of time browsing through the game selection trying to locate their favourite game or table with the right betting limits, this is all pretty straightforward on the Go Wild app. It is also remarkably easy to connect other apps to the Go Wild casino app. You can easily synchronise your casino account with your e-wallet, credit card, special payment vouchers and other payment options.

There is not many experiences better than feeling the thrills of a real casino. Stepping onto the casino floor, hearing the sounds of coins in the video slots and croupiers announcing the winning number on a roulette table. It is no surprise that thousands of people still frequent the casino floors each day, whether it is in Vegas, London or Macau.

Fortunately, it is now also possible at Go Wild online casino to have a real casino experience without leaving the comfort of your own house. Just like many other online casinos, the live casino has also become an integral part of the Go Wild playing experience. Go Wild offers all your favourite table games in their live casino format as well, featuring professional dealers and croupiers who run you through each game. Because of this interaction with the dealers, the experience feels almost the same like playing in a real physical casino. These live games, which work via a live video feed with a real casino floor and dealer, are available non-stop. No matter if you like to play in the day or at night, you can get your kicks at the live casino games of Go Wild.

The best part of the live experience at Go Wild is the sheer amount of games you can play. Of course, you will find your favourite table game back as roulette, blackjack and baccarat are all there in the Go Wild live casino. Even though other casinos might have more live games, it is not a bad score at all. Where Go Wild does excel is the sheer amount of tables. At the moment, there are more than 50 tables at which you can play. There are not only tables with different minimum and maximum betting limits which ensures that both the player on a tight budget as well as the high roller can get their kicks, there are also multiple variants of each game available. If you look at it in this light, then the selection of table games at Go Wild is actually pretty good!

One of the biggest worries many players have are about the processing of payments by an online casino – something which counts for both deposits as well as payouts. Of course, every player wants his or her payments to be secure and fast, with an online casino having as many payment options as possible. How is this arranged at Go Wild casino?

At times, Go Wild even hands out free bonuses which do not require any deposit at all!

A big advantage which Go Wild has above other casino is that it partners with a lot of different payment options and providers. Nothing is more frustrating than your favourite payment option not being among those offered at a certain website. At Go Wild, you do not have to worry about this. You can select one of the traditional banking methods such as bank transfers or payments by debit or credit card, but can also opt for newer technologies such as e-wallets, of which Go Wild accepts many of the leading providers. Besides e-wallets, Go Wild also accepts several payment methods which are unique to certain countries. These payment options are among others Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Entropay, EcoPayz, InstaDebit, Citadel, iDebit, Moneta, Trustly, WebMoney, EPS, Euteller, GiroPay, Nordea, iDeal, POLi, Qiwi, Sofort and UseMyFunds.

Unfortunately, the list of payout options when you want to cash out your hard-earned casino winnings is quite a bit smaller, although that is of course common in the online casino world. Go Wild casino can pay out your winnings on your debit or credit card, on your bank account, or to your Neteller, EcoPayz, Skrill, Entropay or InstaDebit account.

Another important aspect which you must check before signing up with an online casino are the minimum and maximum payments which you can make to your online casino account – and which the online casino can make to you when it is time to cash out your casino winnings. Go Wild uses amounts which are quite standard within the online casino business. The minimum amount which you must deposit in each transaction is 10 euro (or the equivalent in dollars, pound sterling, or any other currency). It is not possible to deposit smaller amounts to your online account. The maximum amount which you can deposit is 10,000 euro. Of course, you can deposit more if you want, although you would have to do this in separate transactions. For example, depositing 30,000 euro to your online account would require you to make three transactions of 10,000 euro each. All transfers to your online casino account – at least when done by debit or credit card or e-wallet – are instantly processed.

When it comes to cashing out your casino earnings, there are slightly different minimum and maximum limits. The minimum limit at Go Wild is 20 euro – any winnings below this amount cannot be paid out, so you would need to continue to gamble a bit more! The maximum amount which the casino can pay out in one transaction is 5,000 euro. Unfortunately, this amount is quite low compared to other online casinos. There is also an annoying rule that the casino can only pay a maximum of 10,000 euro in any 10 day period. This means that if you might be lucky enough to win a high amount of money, let’s say 50,000 euro at a jackpot slot, that you would need to wait for 50 days until the entire amount is paid out on your bank account, credit card or e-wallet. You will of course always receive your full winnings, but Go Wild will pay them out according to their rules, which means they will have to spread the amount over multiple transactions in a longer time frame.

There are a few other restrictions and rules in place at Go Wild online casino which you should take into account. There is a so-called 48 hours of pending time with each payout. This is the period from the moment that you give the order to have a certain amount paid out to you, to the actual moment that the transaction will be processed by the casino. When Go Wild has processed the transaction, it will take a further one to five days depending on the payment method you selected until you receive the money. Unfortunately, this makes the payout transaction speed at Go Wild rather slow.

Another aspect to note is that Go Wild is rather strict when it comes to their payments. In almost every case, they will ask you for proof of identification when you give the order for your first ever payout. This is however a standard safety measure and is meant to protect you (to ensure that only you have access to your money!) as well as the casino (which wants to protect itself against cheaters and possible money laundering by mobsters).

One feature which is often overlooked but which is vital when it comes to the perfect playing experience is the quality of a casino’s customer support. This is important because you should be ably to rely on solid support in the (extremely rare) case that something might go wrong and you need the help of a casino employee. Generally, Go Wild has an excellent help desk which is fitting to the overall solid and trustworthy reputation which the casino has. The help desk employees try everything in their power to solve your problems or questions.

There are four different ways to contact customer service. There is a live chat function, you can send an email, make a phone call, or write an old-fashioned letter and send it by post. The live chat is by far the best option as you can access it while playing at the casino website. Just like the casino, the live chat employees are there 24/7 to help you. There are also quite a few telephone lines which you can call if you would rather speak to a person. These numbers can be easily found on the Go Wild website. Besides a main international number, there are specific hotlines for Germany, Sweden Norway and Switzerland. For general questions which you might have, do not forget to take a look at the FAQ on the website as many of the questions which might pop up in your mind are already answered here.

Overall, we were very satisfied with the Go Wild help desk and can give some positive feedback about the knowledge and friendliness of the employees which we spoke by phone and by live chat.

There are some aspects about Go Wild which are absolutely fantastic and which please us as casino lovers, but there are also an equal amount of smaller issues which should be improved at this casino. Let’s start with the positive factors. Go Wild, which was founded as online casino in 2008, has a long and good reputation when it comes to operating a safe and reliable gaming platform. This fully licensed casino is among the few stellar names on the online casino scene – and there are some good reasons for this.

If we look at the track record of this casino we can see that Go Wild has attracted thousands of players in the last few years, all coming from different countries of the world. We can easily see why people flock to this casino. First of all, it is the stable and reliable software platform with more than 600 games, as well as an equally good mobile experience and specially designed app for smartphone users. There are plenty of tables for both the players on a budget, as well as for the real high rollers looking for some high stakes action. The special VIP club for high rollers is another nice feature, as these players can get higher bonuses and limits this way.

There are two main disadvantages which in our opinion would need to be improved. First of all, even though we like the games selection and are a big fan of the software platform, we must unfortunately conclude that there is a discrepancy between the main website and the mobile experience. Where there are 600 games available through the website if you access it on your laptop or computer, this number dwindles to just 50 to 60 games when accessing Go Wild through the app. Second, we find the payout limits to be on the low side. If you are lucky enough to win a big amount at Go Wild, you might have to wait a few weeks before the casino has paid out the full amount, as it will do so in multiple terms.

All combined, we however still think that Go Wild casino is an excellent website to wage a bet as the many advantages do outweigh the few disadvantages. There is tons of entertainment to be found at Go Wild and there are fantastic opportunities – both at the slots and at table games – to win big.
