PowerUP Casino Review

What’s up rollers, welcome to Lilly’s PowerUp Casino review! If you’re into games, and I mean a lot of games, paired with mobile and crypto-friendliness, and you happen to hate sports and don’t care about ultra-rich crypto bonuses, PowerUp Casino could be your next best pick. Keep reading and find out why.

Casino Review Details

This new online casino has a Curacao license and it is relatively new in the gaming sector. It is owned by Rabidi N.V., so fair play gambling is to be expected from such a renowned operator. The website looks and behaves excellently, and it’s very user-friendly with a cool interface and filters.

Granted, it suffers from acute neon-hypertrophia and 80s nostalgia, but I guess this is the most profitable hype at the moment globally. The casino is best exploited by players who love pokies, live games and table games versus computers. If you like sports betting, or you are easily scared by high wagering, we advise you to look elsewhere.

PowerUP Casino offers the most important safety tools, but not all of them, namely self-assessment tests, underage gambling protection, help and support links, and self-exclusion via a support team.

Country Restrictions

Well, the good news is that the Aussies are more than welcome to join the party. The bad news is that all NetEnt casino games are banned in Australia.

PowerUp Casino’s welcome bonus and other promotions are not available for the residents of the following countries:

• Croatia, Armenia, Tunisia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Indonesia, Georgia, Malaysia, and Argentina.

Lastly, the following countries are blacklisted and their residents cannot open accounts at PowerUp Casino at all:

• Afghanistan, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Curacao, Cyprus, Estonia, Iran, Iraq Israel, Lithuania, Malta, the Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russia, North Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Ukraine (including the territory of Crimea), the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Cote d’Ivoire.

PowerUp Casino offers mediocre bonuses paired with terrible wagering requirements. No deposit-free spins bonuses are capped to AU$80 (if any), with wagering of 40x winnings. No deposit bonus withdrawals are capped at 5x bonus received (again, if any) with a wagering of 40x bonus.

As for the bonus contribution, you can not play jackpot slots with active bonus money. Here’s how the rest of the games contribute to your rollover:

• Slots – 100% of your bets, except those listed on the Terms and conditions page.
• All live games (excluding Baccarat) – 10%.
• All table and card games (excluding Baccarat) – 10%.
• Video poker – 10%.
• Baccarat – 10%.
• Plinko 10%.
• Welcome bonus offer is not available for deposits made via Neteller or Skrill.

***HOLIDAY CALENDAR BONUS***

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and PowerUp casino is in a festive mood! To celebrate the season of giving, PowerUp casino is hosting 30 days of Christmas bonuses. On the main page, there is a special Christmas section that very much looks like an advent calendar. However, instead of finding chocolates each day, you’re gonna find a brand new awesome bonus every single day until the end of December. Kicking things off is a gift made of 30 – 100 free spins (depending on your luck and activity). Also, keep an eye out for the 4 upcoming Festive tournaments and a raffle tournament. It truly is the season to be jolly!

So, to recap, this is what we have here:

1. Welcome Bonus AU$750 + 100FS.
2. Level Up Journey – Up to AU$2,250 player journey. At every level the players reach through gameplay, they get a reward.
3. Achievements – Players have to complete certain simple tasks and they get individual rewards of up to AU$900 (Complete the registration, play in a tournament, etc).
4. PowerUp Coins – Players accumulate PowerUp Coins via gameplay and are able to spend them in our dedicated store on real cash, bonus cash, and free spins.
5. VIP System – Advancing through VIP levels can get you a weekly cashback of up to 15% as well as a lot of other perks (VIP account manager, higher withdrawal limits, etc).
6. Tournaments – Daily, weekly, and monthly tournaments, where players go against each other in gameplay, in a leaderboard style to hash it out for prizes.

• There are a ton of restricted slots you can not play with an active casino bonus. Please check the list in advance, it’s huge and I can’t deal with it in a review as brief as this one.

Other Bonuses

At the time of writing this review, PowerUp Casino had a super-cool, time-limited reload bonus packing 60% up to AU$450 and 60 spins to boot. Now it’s gone,  obviously, but from time to time the casino pulls a surprising bonus on top of those readily available, so always stay in touch, bros and broettes. Now let’s take a look at promotions we can actually claim.

Live Cashback Bonus

• 25% up to AU$300.
• For live games only.
• Wagering 1x cashback amount.
• Minimum cashback AU$7,5.

Weekly Cashback

• For top 3 VIP levels only.
• Casino games only, no live games.
• Level 3 gets 5% cashback, up to AU$1,500.
• Level 4 gets 10% cashback up to AU$3,000.
• Level 5 gets 15% cashback up to AU$4,500.
• Wagering 1x cashback bonus.
• Claim via live chat or email on Monday following the promotion.
• Minimum cashback AU$7,5.

VIP & Loyalty Program

Well, the good news is that PowerUP Casino has a VIP club with special programs, promotions, and overall benefits. The bad news is that there are no specific rules on how to join, and it’s “determined based on the game activity of the last 30 calendar days”, so in plain English – the casino decides who goes in, and it’s safe to assume that fat cats will join sooner rather than later. The VIP program has 5 levels:

• 1 Novice: 0% cashback, maximum monthly withdrawal of AU$10,500.
• 2 Gamer: 0% cashback, monthly withdrawal of AU$15,000.
• 3 Geek: 5% cashback, monthly withdrawal of AU$18,000.
• 4 Pro Player: 10% cashback, monthly withdrawal of AU$23,000, personal account manager.
• 5 Arcade Master: 15% cashback, monthly withdrawal of AU$30,000, personal account manager.

Level Up Game – AU$2,250 Journey

• Each level is unlocked based on your gambling activity.
• Rewards go as high as AU$2,250, and you can claim free spins, coins, and bonuses as well.
• Wagering 40x bonus. 10-day rollover period.
• Max bonus 5x initial bonus.
• Regular casino games only.

Free Spins

• Valid for 7 days.
• Wagering 40x winnings.
• 10-day rollover period.
• FS are capped at AU$75, after level 50 the cap is AU$150.
• Unlocking level 100 gets you AU$1,500 cash prize.

Achievements

It’s simple – complete all achievements and get up to AU$900. Players get coins for individual achievements as well as for completing achievements in a particular block. Cash prizes come with a 1x wagering and you can try to get achievements in any order. There are three achievement tiers:

• Slots Fighter – AU$15.
• Dungeons & Tables – AU$135.
• Jackpot Hunt – AU$750.

UpCoins

UpCoins are local currencies used in PowerUp Casino as a way to incentivize players and make gambling more interesting. This loyalty scheme allows you to exchange earned loyalty points (UpCoins) for free spins, bonus money, and some additional rewards, and for every AU$150 you wager you will get 1 UpCoin. You can earn more of them by doing the following:

• 5% of each deposit is credited as UpCoins.
• Complete all achievements and get UpCoins.
• Participate in tournaments and get UpCoins.

With just 100 free spins from the welcome bonus, and 50 FS from the reload bonus, PowerUp falls somewhere in the middle in terms of free spins generosity. Sure, we can get them via Level Up Game promotion, but it will hardly satisfy your needs if you are a spin junkie like yours truly.

The wagering is also quite high for free spins winnings, and you can use your spins only on pre-selected popular pokies. Please, remember that PowerUp Casino blacklisted a lot of pokies for wagering purposes and bonus use, so make sure to check them all in advance in the Terms and conditions section.

This is one of the best game segments in the world, but only if you hate sports betting, both real and virtual. From popular games to hidden gems made by less-known developers, PowerUp Casino games come in all shapes and sizes. Just look at all those software providers, I mean, these have to be good, right?

Pokies

PowerUp Casino is a monster of a gambling house, hosting several thousands of pokies (online slots). Selected slots excel in both design and execution, and here’s just a microscopic sample of what you can play at PowerUP Casino:

• Gonzo’s Quest, Buffalo Blitz, Golden Rhino, Book of Rampage, Lucky Lady Moon, Starburst, Blood Rage, Razor Shark, Buffalo Power, Deadwood, Jammin’ Jars, Vikings Go Berzerk…

Table Games

Surprisingly cool section, in times when casinos tend to diminish table games sections in favour of live games, pokies, and those silly crash games. Here’s what you can play:

• Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Deal or No Deal, Dream Catcher, Craps, European Roulette, Oasis Poker, Trey Poker, French Roulette, Caribbean Poker, American Roulette, Triple Edge Poker…
• However, if you are a video poker bro or broette, PowerUp hosts games like Aces and Eights, Double Double Bonus Poker, Joker Poker…

Jackpot Games

What a marvelous site to behold! PowerUp is home to some of the most awesome jackpot games in the entire industry. As for prizes, let’s just say that an AU$5 spin on the Funky Fruits pokie yields a jackpot that’s close to AU$2 million.

• Jackpot Raiders, Holmes and the Stolen Stones, Frost Queen, The Glass Slipper, Funky Fruits, Ozwin’s Jackpots…

Live Casino Games

This is a totally cool section packed with different live games to the brim. We’ve got some live game shows as well, like Monopoly, Mega Ball, Mega Wheel, Crazy Time, Sweet Bonanza Candy Land…

• Blackjack and its variants, Sic Bo, Baccarat, Fan Tan, Craps, Lightning Dice, Live Roulette, European Roulette, Speed Roulette, Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, Casino Hold’em…

Seems to me that these days only casino behemoths, with both traditional casino and sports sections, deal with downloadable mobile apps, but this is far from wrong. Take PowerUp Casino for instance – it supports all mainstream mobile devices (iOS, Android, Windows…), and you don’t even feel the need for a dedicated mobile casino app.

This is due to the superb optimization that allows us to use nothing but our regular internet browsers, on decent phones and tablets with fast internet connections. PowerUp Casino did a fantastic job in the window scaling department, so even the most complex games with tactile functions work like a charm on our small touch screens. Thumbs up, PowerUp!

Thanks to encrypted methods for all money transfers and plenty of available withdrawal methods, your funds are just a click away. PowerUp Casino features an adequate amount of deposit methods, including bank transfers, cards, e-wallets, and our top pick – cryptos, but it could be more versatile in the withdrawal department. The only real drawback I can see is the low maximum withdrawal limit, listed in the VIP section of this review.

Deposit Methods

• Visa, Mastercard, Neosurf, eVoucher, PayiD, AstroPay, eZeeWallet, MiFinity, Sticpay, Bitcoin Cash, Tether, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, USD Coin, and Dai. Minimum deposit AU$ 15. Maximum deposit per transaction AU$ 3,100 (cards), AU$ 1,600 eVoucher), AU$ 4,000 (MiFInity, eZeeWallet), and AU$ 7,800 (e-wallets and cryptos).

Withdrawal Methods

• Bank transfer, AstroPay, eZeeWallet, MiFinity, Sticpay, Bitcoin Cash, Tether, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, USD Coin, and Dai. Minimum withdrawal AU$15. Maximum withdrawal per transaction AU$ 4,000 (MiFinity, eZeeWallet) and AU$ 7,800 (all the rest). No fees.

Accepted Currencies

• The Australian dollar, American dollar, Euro, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, and the following cryptos: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, USD Coin, Tether, and Dai.

Whaddayaknow, bro! Turns out that PowerUp Casino is home to some seriously fast and jolly support crew. I turned to 24/7 live chat first, obviously, and this guy was ultra-quick to respond, in like 5 seconds. No drama, no fuss, no redundant questions, straight to the point – this is how you do it, kudos to you, PowerUp Casino.

Additionally, you can turn to equally good 24/7 email support, just don’t expect them to be as swift as bros from the live chat. Sadly, PowerUp Casino does not support a direct phone line or an app for two-way convo, but other than that, this is one helluva customer support.

KYC

In order to properly verify your identity, PowerUp Casino may request one or more of the following documents.

• A government-issued ID with a photo.
• Proof of residence.
• Proof of ownership.
• Transaction histories of the payment methods used (bank or debit/credit card statement etc.).

At any time, the PowerUp online casino site can ask for additional procedures and documents to verify your identity, age, residence, and other info (KYC), before and after you make your first deposit and/or withdrawal. The deadline is 30 days after the request is made, and the casino usually takes up to 10 days to complete the verification process.

Available Languages

PowerUp Casino supports the following languages, with localized markets listed in the brackets.

• English (Australia, UK, Canada), Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, German, and Finnish.

Here’s the verdict, bros and broettes! PowerUp Casino is a fantastic hybrid crypto casino that will let you play tons of cool games using both cryptos and fiat money.

Curacao site licensing isn’t the best on the market, but the operator is well-trusted and games are made by the best in the business. In terms of bonuses, this is not a top online casino, with a lukewarm welcome package. You can hardly call them generous bonuses, and the wagering is quite brutal, but the casino does offer a great selection of pokies (video slots), live games, and other traditional casino segments.

If this is what you are looking for, and you hate sports, then PowerUp Casino could be your next best thing, just be careful before you place bets. So, is PowerUp Casino safe to play at? Yes, this is a safe gambling platform powered by the latest encryption technology and it offers the most important responsible gambling tools, albeit not all of them. The banking and support are top-notch, hands down, with nothing sassy or witty to add here.

Please, gamble responsibly. And remember, We got you, Bro!
