Eurobet.it Casino Review

Originally an Italian betting giant with more than 900 bookmakers spread throughout the world, Eurobet decided to take their business online following the relaxation of Italy’s previously prohibitive gambling laws to provide their customers with Eurobet.it: a multi-platform site that offers sports betting, online poker and full suite of casino and slot gaming titles.

While the website spans the “big three” areas of online gambling, it is Eurobet.it Casino that we will be focusing on in this review – and Italy-based players will be pleased do discover that the site offers a fairly wide selection of instant play titles. Powered primarily by Playtech but also featuring games from Ash Gaming and CORE gaming, Eurobet.it Casino’s main strength lies in its selection of video slots, but customers will also find table games, video pokers and a full live casino suite on offer.

Jackpot Joy

Eurobet.it Casino features a fairly basic layout, with a number of drop down menus providing players with easy access to their preferred type of game. Main categories include video slots, Roulette, video poker, table games and live casino, but these can also be sectioned into new additions and top titles.

Of the various subcategories it is the video slots tab that contains the widest choice of options, with a range of 60 Playtech games including a wide array of progressive jackpot titles on offer to players. Regular video slots in this category include fan favourites like Rocky, Kong and Irish Luck, but it is really the impressive selection of jackpot games that captures the imagination at first glance.

Being a Playtech-powered casino, there are a number of Marvel-themed slots at Eurobet.it and all of them connect to the Marvel Mystery Jackpot, a huge prize fund that accumulates whenever a Marvel-themed slot is played at any casino on the same network. In addition to that colossal progressive jackpot, players will also have access to less common prize pools like Monty Python’s Spamalot and Gladiator, giving them a wide selection of games that can offer life-changing payouts.

Beyond video slots, Eurobet.it Casino also impresses with its casino game selection, which offers a wide variety of roulette titles and common card games in both online and live formats. Starting with the former, players can choose from eight different Blackjack variants, Roulette, Baccarat, Craps and a wide range of Casino Hold’em titles, including some more unusual formats like Tequila Poker.

In the live casino suite, meanwhile, players will find a range of Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat options, all of which are broadcast live from a special studio to create an authentic bricks and mortar feel. These games are available around the clock at a variety of different limits and even include a feature that allows players to interact directly with the dealers to enhance their gaming experience.

Finally, Eurobet.it Casino includes a selection of eight video poker formats and a range of chance games that includes Keno, Hi-Lo, virtual racing and all the other casino staples you’d expect to find.

Italian Takeaway

Given Eurobet made their fortune in the sports betting industry, it should come as little surprise that their entire range of products can be downloaded to provide players with greater convenience and ease of use. Available on iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones and tablets and a range of other mobile internet devices, players need simply download the relevant app in order to access the casino and a wide range of mobile-friendly titles, with Roulette, Blackjack and a whole host of video slots all available for instant play no matter where or what device they choose to access the casino from.

All Options Available

As a multi-national betting operation, Eurobet have always offered a wide range of deposit and withdrawal options to their players – and just because Eurobet.it Casino is reserved exclusively for Italian customers, don’t think for a second that the site has compromised the payment processing methods that are available.

With credit cards like Visa and Mastercard, leading eWallets like Skrill and Neteller, payment processors like PayPal and PaySafeCard and even cheques and direct bank transfers all available, players should have no problem finding a method that suits their needs, while all payments are guaranteed safe and secure.

Generally speaking, eWallets are far and away the most expedient withdrawal option with funds normally being credited within 24 hours, but credit card wait times are not far behind with some withdrawals being processed in just 48 hours as well.

Match of the Day

When signing up to Eurobet.it Casino, players can instantly benefit from a 100% deposit match up to €300. This bonus comes with a fairly standard 40x wagering requirement on slot games and will be released in increments once players have cleared off a certain amount of this mandatory constraint.

Unfortunately, while Eurobet offer separate promotions for their sportsbook and poker sites, this is about as far as the site goes in terms of casino bonuses, with no reload offers, free spin incentives, cash back promotions or even a VIP program to reward loyal players. Naturally, this counts as a significant black mark against Eurobet.it Casino and is especially disappointing given that based on size of the company it is affiliated with, you’d expect the site could afford to offer much, much more.

On Call

Another slightly surprising omission at Eurobet.it Casino is the lack of a live help feature, with the site instead favouring phone support to assist players. Fortunately, this service is available to Italian residents free of charge and is available between the hours of 08:45 and 21:45, making it a pretty complete service that should be able to resolve the majority of queries. Outside of these hours, players are also free to contact the site via online form and will usually receive a response to their given email address within 24 hours of submitting an enquiry. Other methods of contacting the site include fax, but we can’t help but wonder who still owns a fax machine in this day and age!

Big Hitters Pull their Punches

Given that Eurobet have achieved great things as a company since starting up in 2006, it is fair to say that we had high hopes for their online casino. Unfortunately, however, it quickly became apparent that the group still prioritises online sports betting over their casino offering, meaning the all-round experience feels like something that has merely been tacked on as a bit of a box-ticking exercise.

That is not to say that the Eurobet.it Casino is a bad online casino in its own right, you’d just assume that with the resources that the group behind it has at their disposal, things like live help and a loyalty program would be pretty easy to include. What games are available are pretty slick and the site certainly gains major browning points for the wide range of jackpot titles on offer, but we can’t help but feel if only there was more competition in the online gambling industry in Italy, Eurobet.it Casino would be forced to up their all-round game in order to stay ahead of the competition.
