Cherry Gold Casino Review

How’s it going, dawg! This is your boy Derrick, coming at you with another online casino review. Cherry Gold is one of those gambling sites that doesn’t have a lot to give but it’s far from being thrifty. Also, it’s not one of the newest online casinos out there but it certainly does keep things fresh. Let’s take a look at this gambling site and see if it’s still relevant. Let’s get this Cherry Gold Casino review started!

Cherry Gold Casino Details

Founded in 2004, Cherry Gold Casino is almost old enough to vote. This online casino pioneer holds the Curacao license and is regulated by Netherlands Antilles. If your boy Derrick could describe Cherry Gold Casino in just one word, it would be basic. You’ve got everything you could ask for from Cherry Gold Casino but nothing that hits a home run. It’s the equivalent of ordering a Margarita from Dominos.

While the casino boasts having the best security in the whole world, nowhere do they specify what makes it so unique and competitive. This raised my eyebrows, so I did a little digging and it turns out, it has the same SSL encryption security as all other online casinos. Although that’s nothing worth bragging about, the fact that it is indeed a secure gambling site shouldn’t be undermined.

As far as website design is concerned it’s actually a good-looking casino. As I said, their offers aren’t opulent but everything that’s available is served on a silver platter. The games are all neatly organized, the UI is super friendly and despite its age, the website is very much up-to-date.

Restricted Countries

I can’t believe what I’m about to say, but players from United Kingdom and players from United States can rest easy! Cherry Gold Casino welcomes you, which is a rare sight. However, the only downside of accepting UK and US players is the limitation of software providers. With that said, the casino is still restricted in the following countries:

• Israel, Poland, India, Hungary, Malaysia, Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, China, Romania, Costa Rica.

Cherry Gold Casino offers four types of casino bonuses: a Welcome Bonus, a Promotion of the Month Bonus, Special offers, and a friend referral bonus. I say “types” because some of these bonuses are customizable and you are able to claim them multiple times. The sucky thing about all these bonuses is that they are all very sucky. Every single deposit bonus will also tie your deposit amount along with the bonus amount for wagering, which basically means that you will have to wager each bonus two times the amount that’s written. Most of these also require a bonus code.

Welcome Bonus

Firstly, let’s talk about the welcome bonus. The initial deposit bonus can give you a nice match bonus of 270%. Not a bad way to start off with bonuses.

• First deposit bonus – 270% (no maximum cash limit)
• Minimum deposit: $25
• Wagering requirements: 30x(B+D)
• Max bet amount: No max bet limit
• Bonus code: CHERRYSLOTS

Promotion of the Month

While it’s cool to say “Promotion of the Month” this is simply adjustable reload bonus. Hey, your boy Derrick’s got nothing against reload bonuses, so let’s see what this one offers. Depending on how much you deposit (after the welcome bonus) you can become eligible for one of the following:

• Promotion of the month 100% bonus – Minimum deposit: $30+
• Promotion of the month 170% bonus – Minimum deposit: $60+
• Promotion of the month 200% bonus – Minimum deposit: $90+

Also to note, you can claim this bonus up to 9 times a day. If you claim it 3 times you will also receive 50 free spins on Princess Warrior slot game. Wagering requirements: 30x(B+D);
Wagering requirements for free spins: 40x(B+D); Maximum cash amount: No limit; Bonus code: SHERLOCK

Special Offers

Another fancy term for “free spins”. Just like for the Promotion of the month you can get from 20 to up to 70 free spins (FS) along with another match bonus, depending on how much you deposit. You can even choose one of two slots for the free spins.

Vegas Lux

• 25 FS + 65% bonus – Min. deposit: $25
• 35 FS + 95% bonus – Min. deposit: $45
• 45 FS + 145% bonus – Min. deposit: $85
• 55 FS + 175% bonus – Min. deposit: $105
• 65 FS + 200% bonus – Min. deposit: $125
• Bonus code: ANCIENT; Wagering requirements: 30x(B+D); Maximum bonus: No limit

Diamond Fiesta

• 20 FS + 80% bonus – Min. deposit: $30
• 30 FS + 100% bonus – Min. deposit: $50
• 40 FS + 160% bonus – Min. deposit: $100
• 50 FS + 220% bonus – Min. deposit: $150
• 70 FS + 270% bonus – Min. deposit: $230
• Bonus code: HANGOVER; Wagering requirements for bonus amount: 30x(B+D); Wagering requirements for free spins: 40x(B+D); Maximum bonus: No limit

No Deposit Bonus

Upon registration, you can get a $15 free chip by using a bonus code to get a head start with several video slots, 3-reel slots, Keno, Bingo, and Scratch cards. Sadly, a no deposit bonus is unavailable for Canadian players. Here’s a quick rundown:

• No deposit bonus – $15 free chip
• Usable on video slots, 3 reel slots, Keno, Bingo, and Scratch Cards
• Wagering requirements 40x(B)
• Bonus code: 15FREE

Now, some bad news: if you actually go through the terms and conditions about the no deposit bonus, you will see that, along with other restrictions, players will have to make a deposit in order to claim a no deposit bonus (provided they meet the wagering requirements, of course). This is why I never get excited about No deposit bonuses anymore, dawg.

VIP Program

Good news! There is a VIP program available at Cherry Gold Casino. Bad news: it’s one of those invitation-only VIPs that doesn’t really offer any worthwhile benefits. Supposedly when the casino decides that you are eligible, they will send you an invite and you will automatically join the VIP ranks. You can accumulate more Comp Points (which can only be used in Cherry Gold’s sister casinos) and you can have a bigger withdrawal limit apart from occasional VIP bonuses. IMHO, it’s not worth the trouble, dawg.

There’s plenty of free spins to go around. I’ve already mentioned the Special Promotions free spins and the 50 spins you can get from the Promotion of the month. Other than those, the casino can also send you various promotions through your email address. They like to refer to these types of promotions as ‘no deposit bonuses’ but I seriously doubt the casino will send you anything unless you’ve already deposited some money, dawg.

As I mentioned before, allowing access to both United States and United Kingdom players is quite a feat. Unfortunately, this comes at a price and it comes in the form of RealTime Gaming. Let me explain. The only software providers approved for US players are RTG and Vivo Gaming. If online casinos want some of those American dollars, they have to join the RTG Casinos family. Realtime games aren’t bad, but this limits the selection of games to just one software provider. The library consists of about 200 slots, 20 table games, 16 video poker games, 10 specialty games, and exactly 8 live dealer games.

Slot Games

They have roughly 200 slot games, all provided by RTG. There are a lot of fun titles here, don’t get me wrong. However, I would be lying if I said that the library feels crowded. Don’t get me wrong, bro – 200 titles is a lot! But when you consider that other online casinos have several thousand games, it really makes you wonder if being an exclusively RTG casino is worth it.

Table Games

Players who have been to other US-approved casinos will find the very same table games library that they’ve seen in any other RTG casino. The same 20 table games which include draw poker, roulette, craps, and a few others are all here.

Jackpot Games

Jackpot games are nestled in the Slots section. Most of them will have the word ‘Jackpot’ in their titles but some will be hidden. You also won’t be able to tell how large the jackpot is unless you enter the game and see for yourself. If you are having trouble finding the jackpot games, here are a few of our favourites:

• Cleopatra’s Gold, Jackpot Pinatas Deluxe, Aztec’s Millions

Specialty Games and Video Poker

Video Poker games always have a special place in all RTG casinos. Titles like bonus poker and deuces wild are pretty much the staple titles of any RTG casino. Now, in the specialty games department, you’ll have pretty much the same stuff that’s available in the table games. Yeah, I should be surprised but, again, your boy Derrick has seen this library way too many times to be surprised anymore. Specialty games contain more roulette, craps, scratch cards, and the like.

Live Casino Games

I love me some live casinos! The 8 live dealer games that are also available in any other US-approved online casino will give you just what you need to get your live dealer games fix. The sad thing is that, while this library does include roulette and blackjack, they are missing some key titles, such as Dream Catcher, Monopoly Live, Gonzo’s Quest, etc.

Thankfully, Cherry Gold Casino runs really well from a mobile phone browser. I tested it out on my Android and “borrowed” my editor’s iPhone to see if it performs just as well. And it does. There isn’t a dedicated app available, which is kind of a shame, but the online casino does offer a classic “Instant Play” download option. Simply download the casino to your desktop and chances are you’ll have an even better experience on the go. I should probably return my editor’s iPhone before the dude gets suspicious but overall, this is a solid mobile casino.

Online gambling just wouldn’t be the same without payment methods. The more payment methods available, the better. Maybe someone should mention this to Cherry Gold Casino.

Deposit Methods

There are only 3 deposit methods available in Cherry Gold Casino:

• Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin
• Minimum deposit: $25
• Maximum deposit: $1,000 (unlimited for Bitcoin)

While the cards are pretty much the same thing, it’s surprising to see that the website accepts Bitcoin as a payment method. You’d think that a classic looking casino such as Cherry Gold would shy away from the scary cryptocurrency but I guess it didn’t. With that said, it doesn’t change the fact that there are only 3 payment methods, which is almost insulting. Dawg, are you telling me that Cherry Gold couldn’t nab a single e-wallet or a Paysafecard?

Withdrawal Methods

Withdrawing also has only three payment methods, but the fun one is replaced with a very unfun one.

• Visa, Mastercard, Wire Transfer
• Minimum withdrawal: $100
• Maximum withdrawal (per week): $2,000
• Withdrawal time: 3-7 business days

What do you want me to say, dawgs? I mean, it’s still bad because there are only 3 methods, but to replace Bitcoin with Wire Transfer is like rubbing salt on an open wound. Needless to say, this sucks majorly.

Accepted Currencies

Cherry Gold Casino accepts Euros and US dollars.

Naturally, I had to test out the customer support before I could successfully review Cherry Gold Casino. Unlike all the things missing from Cherry Gold Casino, the owners didn’t shy away from having top-notch customer service. I immediately got matched with a live chat agent and they were more than happy to answer all my questions. Yeah, I’ve got nothing but praise for these dawgs. They may not have a lot of games or good bonuses, but at least they have great customer support. You can also reach customer support via E-mail and telephone which is great if you’ve got time to spare.

Available Languages

Cherry Gold Casino is available in: English, Italian and French.

Cherry Gold Casino is your run-of-the-mill online casino. It’s great that the casino is available for US and UK players, plus their customer support is really good, but that’s no excuse for its shortcomings. The bonuses, while adjustable, fall short because of their sucky nature. There isn’t much variety in terms of software availability and it’s a desert in terms of payment methods.

Overall, it’s impressive that this Casino has been around for so long. I can’t help but wonder what it would be like if they managed to fix some of the issues. Even though it’s one of the few online casinos available to US players, there are way better online casinos out there. As always, we got you, Bro!
