Introduction
XLBet Casino is a betting operator for those who want to play both casino games and sports betting. There are around 2,000 slots and table games to choose from, including a range of live dealer games. You get off to a good start with a three-part welcome bonus, and after that, regular bonus offers await. What's more, it offers very fast and secure payments under the supervision of the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).
Web Design and Usability
The XLBet website is quite user-friendly. It's easy to navigate the site and all services are logically placed on the website. The only thing that is not entirely intuitive is finding the sportsbook if you have navigated to another page. Odds are not listed in the main menu along with “games” and “live casino” as sports are only placed under “home”, which is the main page.
If you are looking for something other than betting, you can either find it in the menu on the left-hand side or at the very bottom of the website.
XLBet Casino Bonuses
You get a welcome bonus that extends over your first three deposits. Each of these bonuses gives you more money to play with in addition to free spins. In total, you can get up to €1,000 in bonuses and 300 free spins.
This is what your welcome package looks like:
- 1 deposit: 100% bonus up to €100 + 30 free spins (Bonus code: XLBET)
- 2nd deposit: 50% bonus up to €300 + 70 free spins (Bonus code: XLBET2)
- 3rd deposit: 25% bonus up to €600 + 200 free spins (Bonus code: XLBET3)
Your free spins can be played on the Book of Dead slot from Play'n GO. Each spin is worth €1 and what you win is paid out as bonus money. Bonus numbers one and two give you 30 and 70 spins to play with once the deposit has been made, while bonus number three gives you 20 free spins every day for ten days. You cannot collect these spins as they are only active for 24 hours. If you don't log in and play them every day, they will be lost.
Before a withdrawal of winnings from bonus money can be made, you must complete the wagering requirement. This is 50 times the bonus amount, and this is considered a high requirement. The industry standard wagering requirement for such bonuses is 35x, so at XLBet it's 15x more.
Other Bonuses and Offers
After your welcome bonus has been cleared, you can get more bonuses. There are bonus offers for both casino games and odds, so you can choose which offers you prefer. Although there are some offers and tournaments listed on the casino's promotional pages, it's worth signing up for email communications. XLBet Casino sends out bonuses via this channel that are not always listed on the promotional pages.
XLBet Casino Games
At XLBet Casino you can find around 2000 different casino games, and these are provided by 38 game developers. Compared to other online casinos, this selection is not very large, but it should be enough for most players.
Slot machines
Most of the games at XLBet are slots, so in this category, you have plenty of titles to choose from. However, there aren't too many game developers, so if you already have some favourite games, you might not find them here. However, new games are added on an ongoing basis, and they may also add more game providers over time.
Some slots are categorised by feature, such as Megaways and Bonus Buy. Beyond these, the games are only categorised by new, popular and general categories. However, you can search for games by name, or even sort them by game developer.
If you're looking for classic slots, you'll probably find some, but the vast majority of the selection is modern video slots. These are games that are packed with bonus features, such as free spins. If you find a game with a feature you like, it's worth looking for other games from the same developer, which is where the developer filter comes in handy.
Jackpot slots
Unfortunately, it's jackpot games that are the most disappointing category at XLBet. There is no category for these games, and among the slots we don't find many jackpot titles either. The lack of jackpot games is probably primarily due to the fact that XLBet does not work with the game developers that typically have the best selection of such games.
For example, Red Tiger Gaming, Yggdrasil, NetEnt and Microgaming are not available. This leaves out the big global progressive jackpots as well as all the daily jackpots. This is a shame, and we hope that XLBet adds some of the big progressive jackpots in the near future.
Table games and card games
You can find the table games at XLBet in a separate category, and in total there are around 30 games to choose from. These are the usual table games, such as blackjack, baccarat, casino poker and roulette. These come both in their classic version and in more modern variants.
XLBet Live Casino
Pragmatic Play is responsible for the live dealer games at XLBet. They offer several variants of classic casino games, such as roulette, blackjack, baccarat and different variants of casino poker. On top of this are the gameshow games. Sweet Bonanza Candyland, Mega Wheel and Boom City are particularly worth a try.
XLBet Sports Betting
XLBet offers a sportsbook, and in many ways, this is probably the betting category they focus on the most. You can find odds on almost 40 different sports, and these are for matches or events that take place all over the world. Football is the biggest of the sports categories, but there are also several others that offer a good selection of matches to bet on. In particular, tennis, handball and basketball are sports for which there are always more than enough odds. Virtual sport is of course also a category of sport that is becoming increasingly popular, and at XLBet you'll find odds for e-soccer.
XLBet Mobile Casino
Mobile users can easily play at XLBet without having to download any software or apps. You can play straight from your browser, regardless of which one you use. Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox and all other variants work equally well. The site will adapt to your screen size without you having to fiddle with any settings.
While playing on mobile, you'll be able to take advantage of all the services XLBet offers. This means that you can play all games, make deposits and withdrawals, take advantage of bonus offers and also contact customer service.
XLBet Casino Payments
Digital SSL encryption technology keeps all your info secure when playing at XLBet. What's more, this casino is well-stocked with a range of trusted, international payment mechanisms. Deposits and withdrawals are made in EUR, NOK, CAD, NZD, USD, CLP, and PEN, which makes it easy for many players.
You can deposit with VISA debit/credit cards, MasterCard, Bank Transfer, and various E-Wallets. The minimum deposit you can make to your gaming account is €10. Withdrawals are made back to the same payment method you used for deposits, or via bank transfer. Just be prepared that you will probably need to verify your gaming account, including your payment methods before you can withdraw from your account.
XLBet Casino Support
You can get help by sending an email to customer support ([email protected]) or by starting a live chat right from the site. Just make sure you are logged in to your account to access the chat. Chatting is the fastest option as it can take a few hours to get a response to emails, depending on how busy they are.
In addition to getting direct help, you can also find answers to frequently asked questions in XLBet's FAQ. Here all general questions have been answered, and you can find the FAQ at the very bottom of the website or in the side menu.
XLBet Gaming Licence
Security at XLBet is good, as this gaming operator has a licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA/B2C/203/2011). This gaming licence is the very best for online casinos, as it is the one that best safeguards players' rights and interests. Among other things, it requires all games to be fair and payments to be secure. Keeping your personal data secure is also something that MGA requires of all casinos they licence. The website is also encrypted so that no outside individuals or companies can access your information.
Conclusion
After reviewing XLBet, we have to say that we are only moderately satisfied. There are some things we really like, such as the fact that they offer odds in addition to casino games and that the casino is a safe and secure operator to play at. The fact that there are bonus offers for both casino players and those who want to bet on sports is another advantage.
What we're not so happy with, however, are a number of things. There are few payment methods to choose from, the wagering requirement for bonuses is high, and we would have liked to see some jackpot games. Also, it would be great to see cryptocurrencies among available payment methods.
All in all, XLBet may be a good option for some players. Last but not least, they have a little way to go to be among our favourite online casinos.
