Casumo is one of the most popular casinos in the world, and is regularly placed among the top three in polls run by various forums and casino review sites.
Everything about Casumo is designed to ensure their players are well looked after, and while you won’t find a huge range of payment methods available (which is admittedly a bit of a let-down) the game range at Casumo is often cited as the most diverse in the industry, with virtually every provider on the planet featuring at the site. Everyone makes an appearance, from household names like NetEnt and Microgaming, to less well-known developers like Red Tiger Gaming, Novomatic, and Yggdrasil.
In this post, we’re going to take a close look at Casumo’s operation, and will highlight some of the pros and cons of playing at the site.
So, let’s get to it.
Casino Games
Casumo offer one of the biggest selections of casino games we’ve ever seen, and if you like to mix it up with the games you play rather than sticking to old favourites, well, Casumo won’t disappoint.
With over 30 software providers available, Casumo truly is a giant in terms of developer variety, and you’ll be hard-pushed to find a site that can stand up to them in this area.
Video slots are definitely Casumo’s biggest offering, and if you’re a fan of bonus packed slot gaming then you’ll love the selection here.
NetEntertainment fans will find a ton of games to enjoy including: Silent Run, Jack Hammer 2, Joker Pro, Dazzle Me, Muse, Blood Suckers, Secrets of Atlantis, Zombies, Wild Turkey, Flow, and many more.
Microgaming’s offerings include: Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck II, Six Acrobats, Game of Thrones (both the 243 ways to win and 15-line versions), Jurassic Park, and Jurassic World.
If you’re more a fan of the old school WMS games you’ll be equally spoilt for choice, with titles including: Bruce Lee, Black Knight, Amazon Queen, Zeus 1000, Egyptian Riches, Super Jackpot Party, Wicked Riches, Red Rich Devil, Montezuma, Lady of Egypt, Zeus III, and more.
Along with the Slot Games, Casumo offer a huge number of games in other categories too, including Table Games (Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, 3 Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, and Casino Hold’ Em), Instant win games (scratch card and lottery style games), and a number of Jackpot and Live Dealer games.
Without sounding too much like a commercial sponsor, you really will struggle to find a bigger selection of games anywhere else, and this is definitely one of the reasons that the casino has become so popular with players today.
Jackpots
Casumo could never be accused of being miserly when it comes to the jackpot games available, and no matter whether you’re looking to play video slots with multi-million pound jackpot totals; or you fancy chilling out on the poker games and trying for their six figure jackpots, you’ll find a typically huge range of games to choose from; and with over £70 Million in combined jackpot totals up for grabs at the time of writing, there’s a ton of potential to win big.
All of the jackpot games can be found by selecting the ‘Jackpot’ tab on the game selection menu, where you’ll then be able to browse all of the progressive jackpot games on offer alongside the current jackpot totals attached to each game.
Live Dealer Games
Despite the huge game range at Casumo, their Live Dealer range is a little smaller than you can find elsewhere, but they are all powered by Evolution Gaming so they are extremely well maintained.
You’ll find these games by searching ‘Live’ from the main game search bar, or by clicking the ‘Live Games’ tab. Once inside you’ll be able to choose from the following: Live Casino Hold’ Em, Live Roulette, Live Baccarat, Live Blackjack, Live Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em, and Live 3 Card Poker, Game Show style games, and more.
Casumo do, however, employ a novel way of initially accessing their live games. Instead of having a simple link that opens the live casino lobby, the different game types are laid out as game tiles, and each one will take you to the corresponding section in the live casino lobby.
The Website
Casumo’s website runs on a proprietary software design, which means it’s not running on NetEntertainment or Microgaming software. This makes it a far cry from a cookie-cutter design, and also means that Casumo are able to implement features which other sites cannot.
Now, while some players don’t like the idea of a proprietary website, believing it’s less secure, Casumo have ensured that their software is as up to date and reliable as possible, and very few players ever report issues while using the website.
There’s nothing to download or install, and everything renders in instant play meaning it doesn’t matter what type of browser or OS you’re using. Simply head to the Casumo website, and you can get started right away.
Mobile Casino
As well as offering an award winning downloadable app, Casumo also offer a fairly robust mobile website which can be accessed by the vast majority of smartphone and tablet players. To get started, simply head to the Casumo website as normal and you’ll be automatically re-directed to the mobile version, where you can carry on as you wish.
Signing up through the mobile website or app is surprisingly easy (something that can’t be said for most online casinos), and in just a couple of minutes you’ll be ready to go. Plus, if you’re using a smart phone with form fill technology, your device will enter most of the information for you, leaving you to enter your desired username and password.
Note: Playing on the mobile casino can take up quite a lot of your data allowance, so bear this in mind if you’re playing while out and about. You’ll also find your battery tends to drain a lot quicker, so again, keep this in mind.
Loyalty Program
Casumo’s loyalty scheme is a quirky one, although it is built on a levelling format like normal, and once you join the casino you’ll notice a level bar at the top left-hand corner of the screen. There are 20 levels in total, and the more you play, the more you’ll level up.
Each time you level up you may be awarded bonuses (or valuables as they are called here), which can take the form of free spins, casino credit, and re-load bonuses. What’s awesome about Casumo is that their bonuses and free spins can be completely wager requirement free, meaning any winnings from free spins or any cash bonuses are yours to keep and therefore withdraw right away. This isn’t always the case though so do check.
Each time you level up your ‘Casumo’ gets a new belt, which shows how experienced you are, and the higher your level and belt colour the better the rewards are when you get them. You can also earn trophies for mini achievements as you play, and your Casumo will find new ‘worlds’ to explore as they progress too. Very quirky.
Payments and Limits
All withdrawal requests at Casumo will be processed within 23 hours (that’s not a typo), although from what we’ve seen personally, most withdrawals are processed within 2-3 hours.
There are no specific limits stated at Casumo, which is great news for both big winners and the high-rollers alike; but as we recommend with all online casinos, if you’re planning on withdrawing more than £5,000 you’ll want to ensure that your account is in good shape and it might be worth checking in before you do it.
Casumo offer a large number of deposit and withdrawal methods such as Debit cards, along with EWallets such as Neteller and Skrill and a select number of pre-paid voucher and debit card schemes.
You can view the full details of all the payment methods, and the limits and fees of each, in the banking section via the main homepage.
About and History
Casumo was first founded in 2012, although it wasn’t until a few years later towards the end of 2014 that they began getting real attention from players.
Owned and operated by Casumo Services Limited, Casumo is the only casino run by the group; and while this may give off a whiff of inexperience to some, it’s worth pointing out that this actually allows the company to focus solely on its one casino and give it some real care and attention, rather than juggling multiple online casinos like many of the big operators do.
With licenses in a number of jurisdictions (including the United Kingdom Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority and the Danish Gaming Authority), Casumo has made itself available to a huge number of player around the world, and it’s no surprise to see the online casino growing in size each and every day.
If you’ve not yet checked it out, you would be well advised to do so. You are given rewards just for signing up, and with such a diverse and comprehensive selection of games on offer, you may well become one of Casumo’s regular long-term customers.
