CasinoBordeaux Review

In an internet era in which casinos sport whacky names that give short shrift to tradition, it’s nice to find a site that’s named after a proper bricks and mortar casino. CasinoBordeaux sounds like a regal place with an air of faded grandeur, and that’s pretty much how it turns out to be.

It’s a smart but slightly dated site, but one that nevertheless functions well, especially if you’re accessing it on desktop. The main feature slider promotes the site’s welcome bonuses, which separately claim to be up to €3,000 and also to comprise a 400% deposit match of up to €800. We’ll differentiate them shortly.

Players can access the site in more than half a dozen languages. Unfortunately, CasinoBordeaux doesn’t use country flags, instead identifying its available languages by a two-character abbreviation that isn’t always clear. The site is operated by Game Tech Group N.V and registered in the Dutch territory of Curacao. Its subsidiary, Supaze Limited, is registered in Nicosia, Cyprus. The site operates under license from the Government of Curacao.

All About CasinoBordeaux

CasinoBordeaux promises to provide its players with ‘a real Casino experience from the comfort of your home computer’. Of course computers have evolved dramatically from the days when people used to have a room dedicated to them, and thankfully CasinoBordeaux have not been left completely behind by the smartphone revolution. Mobile and tablet players can indeed get involved, but the site is nevertheless geared around the needs of desktop players primarily.

The casino vows to satisfy its customers and to treat them with respect, whether they’re a high roller or are simply playing for fun. CasinoBordeaux provides customer support 24 hours a day via a contact form on the website. It also has a live chat feature. After creating an account, customers can look forward to getting stuck in to blackjack, roulette, slots, poker and many more casino staples. The site uses 128-bit SSL to safeguard customer data and software that has been independently audited to ensure fair play and honest payouts.

Pick up a Promotion

The 400% first deposit bonus CasinoBordeaux offers all new players is available up to a maximum of €800. The site also provides an additional high roller deposit bonus, the exact details of which can be obtained on request.

When the time comes to make your second deposit, there are still more bonuses in store. The casino will supply a second deposit bonus of 150% up to €1,000. Thereafter, they’ll supply a weekly 100% bonus of up to €300 every Sunday for the first 4 weeks. There’s a 20x wager amount on slots before your bonus cash can be withdrawn.

Your First Four Steps

There are 4 steps required to get started at CasinoBordeaux. Players who are unfamiliar with the games or who simply want to see what the casino has to offer are invited to visit the Lobby and to play its games for fun. This provides an opportunity to get some practice in before parting with real money. After signing up, players can begin to access the games in real money mode.

The first of the 4 steps is to choose a username and password. The second and third steps are to complete the remainder of the registration form and then click on the verification link that will be emailed to you. Finally, step 4 calls for depositing funds into your account.

Payments and Deposits

When it comes to adding funds to your account, CasinoBordeaux have made the process as transparent as possible. The site auto-detects your location based on IP and then displays the regional payment options that are available.

Typically, you’ll be able to deposit funds using the following methods: Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Neteller, Skrill, TrustPay, Clickandbuy, Entropay, Western Union, ecoPayz and bank transfer. Funds should clear instantly except for bank transfer which can take up to 5 days.

CasinoBordeaux applies no deposit fees. Unfortunately the site doesn’t supply much information about withdrawals other than to state that it may apply withdrawal fees where appropriate.

Enjoy the Vip Treatment

CasinoBordeaux rewards its loyal customers with a selection of exclusive offers and promotions. VIP club members can look forward to a personal account manager to tend to their every need as well as higher betting privileges.

The comp points they earn on every wager can also be converted for a higher rate than regular players and they can enjoy faster withdrawals. Regular players who have earned enough comp points will automatically become eligible for VIP membership.

Enter the Casino

With funds deposited into your account and bonus cash claimed, you’re now free to start gaming. This is where things can get a little confusing. While most casinos have a Casino button to click on or even have their games laid out across the homepage, CasinoBordeaux doesn’t. There is a download button at the top of the page but nothing happens when you click it. Perhaps it works for PC users only? It’s hard to tell.

There is a workaround of sorts, however: scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll find a list of the games that are available at CasinoBordeaux. These are filtered into the following categories: video slots, video poker, roulette, scratch cards, 3D slots and card games.

Clicking on the names of the categories won’t lead you anywhere because they’re not hyperlinks, but clicking on the games will open them in-browser. Once you’ve opened one game in-browser, a dropdown menu appears at the top of the page displaying the various categories of games that are available. Ah, now we’re talking. Click on a category such as Featured Games and instead of being taken to a dedicated featured games section, the menu will expand further to reveal the featured titles which you can then select. It’s an odd way of laying out a casino, but it works...sort of.

Slots of Fun

If slots are your game, CasinoBordeaux has a good selection, even if they are hard to access. The site has partnered with leading developers such as NetEnt, GS, Betsoft, NextGen and ELK. Navigating your way to your slot of choice via the multiple menus isn’t the easiest, but when you finally get there, you’ll find the games to be enjoyable, with sharp graphics and a good range of features. Titles include A Christmas Carol, Barbary Coast, The Super Eighties and EggOMatic. The site also has one progressive jackpot game, Dark Harbour.

Casino Capers

Accessing the casino games that are available once again calls for some deep menu action. With a little practice however it’s possible to successfully find your way to the live casino, where baccarat and Blackjack Unlimited are the two games available.

There are plenty of other non-live games to play though: have a go at video poker, scratch cards and table games ranging from roulette to less common options such as Red Dog and Pontoon. CasinoBordeaux is a slightly old-fashioned site that could use some work, but its games, once you get to them, certainly can’t be faulted.
