PowerUp Casino Review

How’s it going, dawg? This is your boy Derrick, coming at you with another online casino review. What a fine day it is today to do a PowerUp casino review! This hybrid casino appeared not that long ago and it’s already making headlines with its huge library of games and innovative loyalty program. Let’s take a look at PowerUp casino and see what makes it tick, dawg!

Casino Review Details

PowerUp Casino came out in 2022 and is owned by Rabidi N.V. This online casino is licensed by the Government of Curacao, which makes it a legitimate website for online gambling. Security is pretty tight and customer support is ready to assist if anything should go wrong.

My first impression of this casino was that it looked pretty decent. Your boy Derrick is something of a fan when it comes to neon colors and cyberpunk-ish aesthetics, so PowerUp casino really stood out to me. Navigating the website is easy and creating an account is even easier.

As already mentioned, PowerUp casino is pretty rich when it comes to the number of games it offers. There are an absolute ton of software providers too.

As for bonuses, unfortunately, there aren’t that many good ones. The welcome bonus is underwhelming, at best, while the rest of the bonuses are mostly cashback ones.

Fortunately, the loyalty program features are pretty interesting. PowerUp Casino actually has a VIP program, a Loyalty program, and even an achievement system. There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s get right into it, dawg!

Country Restrictions

The following countries aren’t allowed to register accounts at PowerUp casino:

• 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.

When it comes to bonuses, there really isn’t that much going on here dawg. PowerUp Casino has a welcome bonus with extremely high wagering requirements and a couple of cashback bonuses. The only thing worth mentioning is the weekly reload bonus (with 50 free spins) which actually has some decent wagering.

***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 do a little recap here’s what you can get:

1. Welcome Bonus CA$750 + 100FS.
2. Level Up Journey – Up to CA$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 CA$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.

Welcome Bonus

There are actually two welcome bonuses. The first welcome bonus looks pretty standard until you notice the wagering requirement of 35x(bonus+deposit). You get a 100% match bonus along with 100 free spins. The free spins, as mentioned earlier, actually have a much better wagering requirement of only 40x(winnings). Honestly, I don’t recommend going for this one, dawg.

• 100%(up to CA$750) + 100FS
• Minimum deposit: CA$30
• Wagering requirement: 35x(deposit + bonus), 40x(free spin winnings)
• Maximum bet: CA$7,5

Welcome Cashback

I do recommend you go for this one instead of the one above. With this welcome cashback bonus, you can get 10% of your losses back as long as you spend your deposit on live casino games. You can get up to CA$300 as long as you spend, at least CA$75 at live casino games. Oh, and the wagering requirement for the cashback amount is only 1x(cashback) so it’s kind of a no-brainer, dawg.

Other Bonuses

As for other bonuses, we’ve got another cashback bonus and a weekly reload bonus that randomly changes (exclusive to casino players from Canada). The cashback is similar to the welcome cashback bonus and the other bonus is usually a combination of free spins and a match bonus.

Weekly Reload Bonus

As of writing this, the weekly reload bonus offers 50 free spins. The same wagering requirements apply to the match bonus and the free spins.

• 50 Free Spins.
• Minimum deposit: CA$30
• Wagering requirement: 40x(free spin winnings)
• Maximum bet: CA$7,5

Live Cashback Bonus

There is another cashback bonus for live casino games but this time it gives back up to 25%. You can get up to CA$300 this way. Best of all, you only need to wager this cashback amount one time before it turns into real, withdrawable moolah.

VIP & Loyalty Program

PowerUp Casino has a VIP program, a loyalty program, and an achievement system.

VIP

The VIP is made up of 5 levels. Each level just increases your monthly withdrawal amount, and gives you more weekly cashback, up to 15%, (which you have to ask for through live chat) and the last two levels also offer a dedicated account manager.

Loyalty Program – Level Up Game up to CA$2,250 Journey

So, the loyalty program at PowerUp is actually represented as an arcade RPG game. When you play PowerUp games at the casino, you earn Upcoins. With Upcoins, you can buy things at the casino shop (like free spins, match bonuses, and cashback).

UpCoins are also used in the LevelUp Game. While you won’t actually play the RPG game, you can see your character level up from all the deposits you make. Each time the character levels up, you get a prize. In the beginning, these are very humble prizes like a few free spins or CA$5 in bonus cash but as you level up, the prizes get better.

The most valuable prize you can receive from the Level up game is CA$2,250 but it’s gonna take you quite a while to get there, dawg.

Achievements

Your boy Derrick is a huge fan of achievements at online casinos. I love when you have extra things you can work on as you are having fun at the casino. Unfortunately, PowerUp casino really missed the mark here. Guess, how many achievements are there? Only 3! Yup, just three achievements to earn. Each one unlocks a set amount of bonus money.

You can get one for playing slots, one for playing table games, and one for winning the jackpot. The total comes down to CA$900. Now, the total is nice but I really wish there were more than just 3 achievements, dawg.

So, when it comes to PowerUp casino free spins, there’s not a lot going on. First, we’ve got the welcome bonus that gives players 100 free spins. Next, we’ve got the changeable reload bonus that often gives out free spins as part of its reward.

Right now, it’s giving away 60 free spins but next week it could give more (or less). It kinda sucks that there aren’t any other free spin rewards because the wagering requirement for them 40x(free spin winnings) is actually pretty good.

If there’s one thing that PowerUp casino has a lot of, it’s the games. There are so many games and software providers available that it’s actually underwhelming. The games are also neatly organized into categories too. There’s even a category for arcade games too. If you pick online casinos based on software providers, feast your eyes on this list, dawg:

• ELA Games, Play n Go, Netent, Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Pragmatic Play Live, Quickspin, Push Gaming, Red Tiger Gaming, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Big Time Gaming, Spinomenal, Relax Gaming, Wazdan, Playson, BF Games, Redrake, Betsoft, Iron Dog Studio, PG Gaming, Gamebeat Studios, One Touch, 1×2 Gaming, Just For The Win, BGaming, Swintt, Game Burger, Tom Horn Gaming, Platypus, All41Studios, Felix Gaming, Hacksaw Gaming, Smartsoft Gaming, Foxium, Mascot Gaming, PlayPearls, Leap Gaming, Caleta, Stormcraft Studios, Triple Edge Studios, Salsa, Rabcat, Switch Studios, Real Dealer, Ikiron, Hollywood, Felt, BetGames.tv, Golden Rock Studios, 2by2 Gaming, Spribe, Amatic, Fantasma, GGames, Belatra Games, MrSlotty, Zillion Games, Skywind Group, High5Games, Nucleus Gaming, Apollo Games, Lucky Streak, KA Gaming, Eurasia Gaming, Gaming Realms, Slotmill, Fbmos, Booming, Stakelogic, 3 Oaks Gaming, Kalamba Gaming, Gaming Corps, Fazi, Ruby Play, Apparat Gaming, BallyWulff, Onair, Spinberry, Betsoultions, Habanero, GameArt, Vibra Gaming, Net Gaming, Synot Interactive, Quik Gaming, and Enrophina.

Slots

So, as you can see by the number of software providers, there are a bunch of online slots here. If you still aren’t sure what you should play, you can use the various sub-categories, like Top Games, New Games, Popular Games, Exclusive Games, Bonus Buys, Live Games, Jackpot Games, Arcade, Slots (yes, just slots), Table Games and All Games. Yeah, not all of them are going to have slots but most of them will.

Table Games

Table games have their own category, however, they are mixed with live casino games. Online casinos always do this to make their non-live table games categories seem bigger and I’m not too fond of this. Dawg, there is no shame in having 20 table games because that’s more than most of us need. Unfortunately, you’re gonna have to dig through the pile until you find the table games you want to play (the ones where you don’t play against a live dealer).

Jackpot Games

Well, well, well, look at that! PowerUp Casino actually has a dedicated Jackpot Games category. Not only that but they actually even have those little labels I like so much. Many of the jackpot games available have labels that show the exact (or approximate) jackpot amount that’s currently available from a jackpot game. This means you don’t have to click and enter each jackpot slot game until you find the one you want to go for. It really is the little things in life that make people happy, dawg.

Live Casino Games

Naturally, live casino games have their own category and they don’t allow any pesky non-live table games to get involved. Joking aside, this is a pretty good casino for live casino games because of all the cashback promotions that are going on. Most online casino sites won’t give you any bonuses for playing live dealer games which makes PowerUp casino particularly attractive. So, if you want to challenge a professional live dealer, this might be the online casino site for you.

Arcade Games

There is also an arcade section at PowerUp Casino. The arcade, according to the casino, features skill-based games. So, technically, if you are good enough, you can win every time. Umm… yeah, that’s not how casinos work, dawg. While there is some skill involved in these games, it all boils down to luck in the end.

And guess what? The house still has the edge over you. If it were any different, casinos wouldn’t be in business anymore. Now, if you need different luck-based games to play because you are bored of the same-old-same-old, then you can hit the arcade, dawg.

PowerUp casino doesn’t have a mobile app but the casino runs perfectly fine when using a mobile browser. Your boy Derrick and his bros and broettes at the office tested this baby out on our phones and, unsurprisingly, everything ran fine. After all, in this day and age, the least you could do for your online casino is have it run smoothly on mobile phones.

I was able to make a deposit, claim a bonus, contact customer support, and play games all from my Samsung phone. It runs great on iPhones too. No complaints about the mobile casino, dawg!

Being a hybrid casino, PowerUp accepts both fiat and cryptocurrency. Unfortunately, there really aren’t any benefits you can get from crypto payments.

Deposit Methods

You can use the following payment methods to deposit funds into your casino account:

• Interac, Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, Neosurf, ecoPayz, MiFinity, MuchBetter, eVoucher, Flexepin, eZeeWallet, BitcoinCash, Tether, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple USD Coin and DAI.
• Minimum deposit: CA$20 (CA$10 with Interac)
• Maximum deposit amount: CA$10,000

Withdrawal Methods

If you want to withdraw your winnings (and why wouldn’t you?) you can use the following payment methods to do so:

• Interac e-transfer, Mastercard, ecoPayz, MiFinity, MuchBetter, eZeeWallet, Bank Transfer, BitcoinCash, Tether, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, USD Coin and DAI.
• Minimum withdrawal amount: CA$20 (CA$10 with Interac, CA$15 with MiFinity)
• Withdrawal limits: CA$10,000 per month

Accepted Currencies

• EUR, CAD, USD, BRL, AUD, BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, USDC, DAI, BTCH, and USDT.

As is tradition with all my reviews, I contacted the live chat customer service to see if they know how to serve customers. Your boy Derrick only had to wait a bit over a minute before an agent was assigned to me. After I asked them some questions they took a bit longer to respond but respond they did. The casino also offers email support but no telephone support sadly. Still, I’m more than happy with just 24/7 live chat support so PowerUp Casino gets a pass from me.

KYC

Depending on which payment method you choose you can either get more or fewer KYC checkups. Crypto users get less, fiat users get more. Whatever payment method you pick, here is some of the documentation you might have to submit, dawg:

• ID
• Proof of residence
• Recent utility bill
• Passport with a photograph
• Proof of e-wallet ownership (for e-wallets only)

Available Languages

• English, Portuguese, Italian, German, Spanish, and Finnish.

PowerUp Casino is a decent online casino. It accepts both crypto and fiat users and offers a very rich library of games. The loyalty programs can be fun and the customer support deserves praise. With that said, the bonuses could really use some improvements and the same can be said for the achievement system. Other than that, I had a lot of fun at PowerUp casino and it’s decent enough to get my seal of approval. As always, We Got You, Bro!
