CS Casino Review

The review below is a harsh assessment of CS Casino. Many moons ago, it was a standalone casino known as Caribbean Sands, hence the CS part of the name. However, after a court case with a Las Vegas Casino, the site was shut down. Players are now redirected to the group's parent site - Omni Casino - instead. So please take the below review with a pinch of salt as it was done at a time when the above information was not available to the VegasSlotsOnline.com staff writers.

In the UK, CS is an abbreviation of Community Service, the form of non-custodial punishment doled out to small-time criminals. Given the choice between paying penance by picking up litter or playing at CS Casino, you would choose litter picking every day of the week.

CS Casino is an abomination of a site, one where the greatest game you can play is called “Pick out all the faults”. From dated design to preposterous claims, every last element of this site is awful and irredeemable. It all starts in the top header of the homepage, where the site is proclaimed to be “the internet’s #1 online casino”. Sigh.

Below that is a picture of a couple playing at a land-based casino, her smiling, him leering with a beer bottle in his hand and looking sleazy. It’s hard to focus on the image, which is something of a relief, on account of the adjacent flashing banners and shimmer effects that will have your eyes darting every which way in disbelief.

The next fail is the customer testimonial, which gushes “This new site does such amazing things!! I can not believe it..it blows me away!! ..... I can not seem to stay away!!! I am too enthralled by it all!!! And yours points system is also great!!! I just can not tell you enough how amazed I am!! It is sheer genius!!!” Sometimes, there are no words.

About CS Casino

There was never a time when CS Casino was cool and there was certainly never a time when it was the internet’s number one online casino. The reason for at least some of its many failings becomes apparent when you scrutinise the footer, where it is revealed that the site’s copyright notice extends from 1997 to 2009. 2009 would appear to be the last time CS Casino was updated. That’s a millennium ago in internet terms.

As for what to expect as a customer – assuming you’d be mad enough to attempt such a thing – CS Casino promises 24/7 customer service, more than 80 casino games, “10 huge progressive jackpots” and an “award-winning” comp program.

The site is owned by Peak Entertainment and operates under a gaming license issued by the government of Curacao. Playtech provide the software that powers it and the games provide an RTP of over 97%.

The site’s About page bangs on about how secure the casino is, and perhaps this was the case back in the day. Visit it today however and your browser will warn you that “Your connection to this site is not secure. You should not enter any sensitive information on this site (for example, passwords or credit cards), because it could be stolen by attackers.” CS Casino is the Mary Celeste, adrift on an internet that’s moved on and left it behind.

Getting Started

Let’s just assume, hypothetically, that you nurtured a perverse desire to sign up at CS Casino and become a customer. To do so, you’d need to first install the site’s software, which has been branded by Omni Casino (but designed by Playtech) on your desktop PC. Do this and you’ll be able to get stuck in to the 100 or so games that CS Casino stocks.

There is also a Flash version of the site, but click on it and you’ll be shown a “Forbidden” error that warns “You don't have permission to access /flashcasino.php on this server.”

Oh well, the download option it is then. Just ask yourself though before you proceed, do you feel confident installing a piece of casino software that possibly hasn’t been patched in almost a decade?

In terms of customer support, there are North American and UK freephone numbers provided, which may or may not still be operational, plus email support. Live chat is apparently unavailable because “we are in the process of upgrading to a new system”. Yeah, right. While you’re laughing at the site’s expense, check out the Winners page, which boasts “Not a day goes by without someone winning big at CS Casino. Here are just a few single game big winners from the past few days.” Seems legit.

CS Banking

There’s a wide range of deposit options available at CS Casino, but naturally not all of them will still be current, because the world has moved on in the last decade. Credit and debit card are supported – or were supported, because who knows whether any of this still works – including Visa, MasterCard and Maestro.

Other options are Neteller, Web Money, wire transfer, Click 2 Pay, Click and Buy, Intercash, Wirecard and Ukash. At least some of these companies no longer exist or have been subsumed into larger payment providers. CS Casino doesn’t specify its withdrawal policy, but good luck in getting any money out of it – assuming you can even get funds into it in the first place.

Promotions

The welcome bonus that new players can receive – or could receive, because it’s hard to tell whether this site is still a going concern – comprises a 100% first deposit bonus worth up to $100. With your second deposit, there’s a 50% bonus worth up to $200 available. Every Sunday, there’s also a 50% deposit match worth up to $100.

High rollers (assuming anyone would want to risk large sums of cash at this shaky casino) can claim a 100% first deposit bonus when they deposit $500. Other bonuses come in the form of a 10% alternative deposit method bonus when you use Neteller, Click2Pay or a handful of other deposit options. Finally, there’s a loyalty programme which sees comp points dished out at a rate of 1 per every $10 wagered.

Previews Available

There’s a preview page that allows prospective players to gain a glimpse of the wonders in store should they elect to download the casino’s software. To view a selection of the games, click on the Next and Previous buttons to manually scroll through the list. CS Casino has table games such as roulette, and “classic single line slots” which are every bit as archaic as they sound. There are progressive single line slots too, classic multi line slots and “video multi spin slots”.

If you fancy a snigger or two, keep advancing through the preview gallery until you reach a 50-line video slot called Thrill Seekers which is described as “one of a limited few slots in the industry with this many paylines”. There are civilisations that are newer than this website. CS Casino is so bad it hurts. If it was an old sheepdog, you’d take it out to the barn, do the merciful thing and put it out of its misery.

One of the Worst

Is CS Casino the worst casino on the web? It’s a strong contender. While it’s amusing to have a laugh at the site’s expense, there is a serious concern here.

It’s possible that someone with limited internet knowledge – an older person, or someone vulnerable – could alight on a site like this and attempt to sign up, despite the fact that it’s clearly insecure and may not even be a going concern any more. CS Casino needs to be deleted.
