Bogart Casino Review

That’s Bogart as in Humphrey Bogart, the 1940s film noir star who starred in The Big Sleep and Casablanca. At least that would appear to be the theme of Bogart Casino judging by its logo of a stylised man in jacket and fedora, back when fedoras were still cool, which by any reckoning was at least 80 years ago.

Bogart Casino is marketed at US and Canadian players and features both a virtual casino and a live casino to lure prospective customers into the fold. There’s a toll-free number for US residents and live chat too, as Bogart Casino does its best to stand out from the glut of competitor sites.

About Bogart Casino

Founded in 2017, Bogart Casino is the new kid on the block. It’s got some major players on board however when it comes to payment options and software providers. Soft Swiss are the firm whose software powers the site. In all, there are over 100 games to choose from including slots and table games. Blackjack; roulette; poker; you name it, all the casino classics are present and accounted for here.

Like many of its ilk, Bogart Casino aims to bring the thrills and glamour of Vegas casinos to the comfort of its players’ homes. It best achieves this feat through its live casino, staffed by “the prettiest live dealers”. A detailed FAQ will keep new members up to speed with the basics including payment methods and withdrawals. As for customer support, the toll-free number provided is available to US and Canadian customers, but email support is also available.

How Bogart Likes to Bank

There’s a good selection of deposit options available at Bogart Casino. Take your pick from UPayCard, Bitcoin, Skrill, Neteller, Person 2 Person, Visa, check and bank wire. The minimum deposit amount in most cases is $50. To avoid having to pay transfer fees with Person 2 Person, you’ll want to deposit a minimum of $300. With credit, debit and prepaid card deposits, there’s a wait of 21 business days before winnings can be withdrawn. During this time, you’ll also be expected to submit proof of identification such as a utility bill plus a photocopy of your card.

US customers may understandably want to select a deposit option that maintains their privacy and prevents government agencies from being able to discern where their cash is headed. For this reason, Bitcoin or UPayCard are preferable options. As for withdrawal requests, these can be placed by phone or live chat Monday to Friday from 8am to 2pm EST. Bitcoin is billed as “coming soon”, so double check that this withdrawal option is available to you before depositing Bitcoin into your playing account.

Bogart Bonuses

There are bonuses available at both the live casino and the virtual one including various slots bonuses. To get you started, there’s a 500% first deposit bonus at the virtual casino, which is subject to a 35x wagering requirement. The site doesn’t specify a maximum or minimum limit and certain games are excluded from this bonus offer, specifically craps, roulette and dice games. There’s also a 150% reload bonus available with deposits of $100-$250, and similar vouchers that can be used once for a 200% reload bonus and a 300% reload bonus.

Every day during the week, casino tournaments are held with $200 in prizes dispensed daily. There’s also a referral bonus of up to $200 for every friend who signs up and makes their first deposit. Slots players can also use voucher codes granting them bonuses of anywhere from 350-500%. At the live casino, there are more deposit bonuses to be had, this time capped at 150% and subject to a 39x rollover.

Similar to Its Sister Site

The casino games to be played at Bogart Casino are very similar to those to be found at sister site, sportsbook Betmania. They’re designed to work in-browser with no need to download software to play and many of them are mobile compatible. Games are sorted into tabs as follows: All Games, Card Games, Casual, Roulette, Slots and Video Poker. All of the games can be played for fun or for real money.

There’s a quartet of blackjack games to choose from plus related game Pontoon, essentially the British blackjack. Take your pick from Blackjack Surrender, Multihand Blackjack, Multihand Blackjack Pro and Blackjack Surrender. There’s also a few standalone titles such as Baccarat and Double Exposure. These are complemented by a handful of video poker games. Favourites such as Texas Hold ‘Em and Casino Hold ‘Em will be familiar to anyone who’s ever wielded a two-pair.

OK Slots

The slots to be played at Bogart Casino can best be described as okay. There’s 15 in total and no branded games to choose from. Instead, you have such options as Book of Pyramids, Desert Treasure and Cherry Fiesta. Slots devotees won’t find much here to whet their appetite it must be said. Some progressive jackpot games wouldn’t go amiss or even just some more up to date titles with better graphics and more imaginative themes.

Live Casino

The live casino at Bogart Casino offers three games, the same as those offered at Betmania’s live casino: baccarat, blackjack and roulette. Baccarat is billed as being a revamped version with new betting options. Specifically, players can select Panda 1 to win 20 and Dragon 1 to win 30. The game also comes with a promise of 5% cashback.

The live casino is neatly laid out, with sections covering rules, card values and what a winning or losing hand looks like. If you’re new to baccarat – or blackjack or roulette for that matter – all the tools you need to become an expert are right here. Video previews show you exactly what the live experience resembles, complete with a photogenic dealer on hand to position the cards. There might only be three games to choose from, but Bogart Casino’s live casino trumps their virtual one.

Of All the Casinos in All the World…

Bogart Casino is a capable and well designed casino but one that doesn’t exactly set the heather on fire. In other words, it’s perfectly acceptable as casinos go, but doesn’t offer anything special. Still, American players may well finds its live casino and payment options to their liking. Those features, coupled with the eclectic bonuses, are the best things about Bogart Casino.

As for the worst things, uninspiring slots are one of the biggest bugbears. There are no scratch games either, no progressive jackpots and little in the way of mini games. It may be the case that the range of virtual games will be improved – this is a new site after all – but as it stands there’s not a whole lot to get excited about. On the plus side, the site’s easy to navigate, mobile friendly and the provision of a toll-free customer support number is a bonus. The live casino is also nicely laid out and everything is clearly explained. Bogart Casino then: it’s a fun place to play live and virtual casino games, even if there’s still plenty of room for improvement.
