Raging Bull Casino Review

It carries “raging bull” in its name but it uses a green motif. We’re not sure if that’s a good match but we think this is one of the good online casinos around.  Raging Bull Casino is an online casino that can be played through a desktop client or instantly through a web browser. It claims to offer a collection of over 200 exclusive casino games along with large bonuses as well as local and network jackpots.

It’s not difficult to perceive Raging Bull Casino as a trustworthy gambling site. Its website appears more than decent. The details presented on the site help establish credibility. It’s also an advantage that many online casino reviews have favorable things to say about Raging Bull Casino.

Still, there might be things you need to be aware of before you decide to sign up with Raging Bull Casino. To learn more about these details, don’t hesitate to read further into our Raging Bull Casino review. Our in-depth evaluation of this gambling site should help you determine whether it’s worth signing up with this casino or not.

Signing Up for an Account

The Raging Bull Casino homepage does not show a Registration or Sign Up button. What it shows are Download and Instant Play buttons. We have to admit we have biases against online casinos that still require downloads. We find them unnecessary that’s why our review here focuses more on Instant Play. Current web technologies already support smooth gameplay through browsers, especially using HTML5 so it’s not that sensible downloading a client when you can go for instant playing.

Anyway, if you want the quickest way to sign up for an account, just click on the Instant Play button to go to the login page (Play page) and click on the blue Register a New Account button.

The online registration form asks for more than the usual details. There are multiple fields for the address. It asks for your birth date. It even asks for two phone numbers, although they are only optional. It looks like a long and tedious form but you can complete it relatively quickly.  We completed the registration process in around 40 seconds or perhaps a minute. After completing the form and clicking on the Register a New Account button, you will be automatically brought to your account dashboard. Yes, you get automatically logged in.

The registration process for the game client download option is roughly similar. You just have to do it through the client instead of using a web browser.

Account Dashboard

The account dashboard does not look that familiar although it’s not really difficult figuring it out. Unfortunately, the Profile part of the dashboard does not allow edits. The details you entered on the online registration form can no longer be changed so if you entered fictitious, false, or incorrect information as you registered, you may end up getting in trouble. The Raging Bull Casino Terms and Conditions clearly include a provision on the possible suspension or termination of an account if it is proven that the information submitted to sign up for the account are false or fictitious. We suggest contacting customer support at the soonest possible time to have the mistakes corrected.

As usual, the account dashboard includes a Cashier section or the section for making Deposits and Withdrawals. It took some time before we could load the Cashier page. It opens as a pop-up window. It actually uses a different URL (cadgranf.realtimegaming.com)

UPDATE: We belatedly learned that we can actually edit the details we entered during the registration process. However, the editing is not done through the Profile page. Instead, it is done through the Cashier page. You will actually be required to make corrections once you start making deposits. The Cashier page may ask you to do changes to reflect a proper postal code, reconcile the state and province details you entered, and correct the phone numbers you entered. The Cashier page has an automatic system for scanning and raising alerts on these issues.

The Games

For the Instant Play or mobile version, Raging Bull Casino features a good variety of Slots, Table Games, Video Poker, and Specialty Games (which are actually just American Roulette and European Roulette). It has 64 slot games in this online casino, including the progressive jackpot game called Spirit of Inca. There are 13 table games which include Blackjack, Baccarat, Pontoon, Perfect Pairs, Caribbean Hold’em Poker, Keno, Craps, and Let Em Ride. For the Video Poker category, there are 14 options to choose from. Additionally, there are 3D and HD Games offered, 5 of them, which were labeled “New” at the time we did this Raging bull Casino review.

That’s a total of less than a hundred games. It’s significantly lower than the 200 claimed on Raging Bull Casino’s homepage but be reminded that these are just for the Instant Play version.

We are not fond of the way the games are presented. Instead of showing them in a gallery with thumbnails and brief details, they are only shown as linked lists. This makes it difficult to choose a game. There are no details that can be readily viewed by hovering over the game title. Especially if you are a newbie to online casinos, you will most likely have no idea what the games are all about by just reading their names.

When it comes to the game loading time, we can say it’s slow to average. We didn’t use the fastest Internet connection when we did this Raging Bull Casino review but we can’t say we had the slowest connection either. We’ve used this same Internet connection to review other online casinos and based on our experience, the games from other online casinos loaded noticeably faster.

On the other hand, for the downloadable game client-based version, Raging Bull Casino offers what looks like the entirety of the games on the Realtime Gaming (RGT) platform. The games include huge progressive jackpot slots with prizes that can go higher than $1 million. There are also more than 100 slots games on the download version. Basically, there are more games to find in the client version of Raging Bull Casino. For this Raging Bull Casino review, we have to consider this a con.

Raging Bull Casino Software

Raging Bull Casino uses software developed by Realtime Gaming, also popularly known as RTG. This game software developer is affiliated with the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC) and the Interactive Gaming, Gambling, and Betting Association (IGGBA). It is also responsible for the games of other popular online casinos such as 50Dimes Casino, Alladins Gold Casino, Captain Jack Casino, and Wild Vegas Casino.

Fair But Not Provably Fair

Raging bull Casino’s website does not mention anything about the games being provably fair. However, the fairness of the games on this online casino is guaranteed by Technical Systems Testing (TST), an independent group that tests casino software for compliance with industry standards. Moreover, player account dashboards include a section of viewing detail transaction and gaming histories. If there are issues or complaints, it should be easy verifying the details in the account history.

Raging Bull Is Mobile-Friendly

Raging Bull Casino has a mobile-friendly website that looks great. It shows more than just the basic details, unlike the mobile versions of the websites of other online casinos.  We like how it shows the promotions on top but we think it would be better if it also showed the Sign Up button.

Raging Bull Casino does not have mobile apps for Android, iOS, or Windows mobile devices. It has a Mobile page which may make some think that it has mobile playing apps but there’s none. The page simply provides the information that it’s possible to play on mobile through the mobile web browser. A QR code is displayed on the page. Scanning it would automatically load the Raging Bull Casino site on a mobile device.

Currencies and Payment Methods

US dollar is the currency used on Raging Bull Casino. However, it also accepts bitcoins and other fiat currencies through a variety of payment methods.

US layers can make deposits via Visa cards, MasterCard cards, and bitcoins. The deposit transactions using these methods are expected to be completed instantly. For international players, the deposit options are Visa and MasterCard cards, Skrill, Neteller, ECO Pay, and bitcoin.

When it comes to withdrawals, only bank wire transfer is the available method for players in the US. The bank wire withdrawal process takes around 5 to 10 days. For international players, the withdrawal methods supported include bank wire transfer, Skrill, Neteller, and ECO Pay. Except for bank wire transfer, the withdrawal methods mentioned process withdrawals instantly.

The maximum cashout based on the numbers listed above may reach as much as $12,500 BUT Raging Bull Casino actually has a $2,500 general cashout limit per week. This means that if you obtained and completed the wagering requirement of $10,000 worth of bonuses, you will be getting it in 4 installments of $2,500 per week.

The cashout phrases “20x deposit” or “25x deposit” mean that the maximum amount that can be cashed out for the corresponding bonuses are 20 or 25 times of the deposit made.

IMPORTANT: Only players from certain countries are allowed to redeem or make withdrawals on Welcome Bonuses, No Deposit Bonuses, and Match Up Bonuses. See the list of countries in the Country Restrictions section below.

Raging Bull Casino Affiliate Program

Raging Bull has an affiliate or refer-a-friend program that grants a $20 Refer a Friend fee of up to 15x depending on the player level. Green and Red players as well as newly registered players get up to 5x in Refer a Friend fees. Silver and Gold players get 8x. Diamond players get 15x.

If, for instance, you were able to refer 16 players to the site but you are just a newly registered player on Raging Bull Casino, you can only claim for the Refer a Friend fee of up to 5 players or $100. However, If you are a Diamond player, you can claim the fees for all 10 players. There is no wagering requirement for the refer-a-friend fees but there is a maximum cashout amount of 5x of the earned amount. Also, you need a minimum of $100 in refer-a-friend earnings so you can withdraw the amount.

We tried live chat support and we were satisfied by how prompt we were able to get a response.

No Country Restrictions?

We made sure to ask Raging Bull Casino about its policies on accepting players from different countries. We were told the casino does not ban players from certain countries. The policy is just similar to what other legitimate online casinos adopt. It’s the laws of the country or jurisdiction that prevails. This means that players should be at least 18 years old or of legal age and that there should be no laws in their respective countries that bans online gambling. It’s the responsibility of players to make sure that online gambling is legal in their jurisdiction.

However, when we consulted the Terms and Conditions page, we learned that Raging Bull Casino does not accept player registrations from Mauritius, Israel, Netherlands Antilles, Costa Rica, and South Africa. Also, the Terms and Conditions page lists specific countries that are the ones only ALLOWED to redeem or make withdrawals on Welcome Bonuses, No Deposit Bonuses, and Match Up Bonuses: They are as follows:

• United States
• Canada
• United Kingdom
• Belgium
• Australia
• New Zealand
• Italy
• Germany
• France
• Finland
• Sweden
• Norway
• Singapore
• Hong Kong
