KatsuBet Casino Review

How’s it going, dawg? This is your boy Derrick coming at you with another online casino review. On this finest of the finest days, we will take a look at KatsuBet Casino.

This modern-looking, Asian-themed online casino aims to offer high-quality casino games and bonuses in order to attract new players. It’s crypto-friendly but what surprised me was that they AREN’T offering live chat support to unregistered players.

In all honesty, this is one of those online casinos that are not exactly brand new and not exactly old either. A casino that offers a lot of bonuses and benefits but all of them have a catch. Or three. Overall, it’s a very “meh” casino when you stick around for a while.

Casino Review Details

KatsuBet Casino came out in 2020 which still makes it one of the newest online casinos to date. It’s owned and operated by Dama N.V. a very famous name in the online gambling industry. KatsuBet is licensed by the Government of Curacao which is, according to our broette Lilly, not as good as the MGA license but it does the job well.

While the casino name KatsuBet sounds edgy and Anime-ish, the word Katsu actually means And. So the literal translation would be And Bet. It seems legit, I guess! Online casinos do want our money and KatsuBet doesn’t waste time pretending like it doesn’t want it.

As for the actual look of the casino itself, KatsuBet does the job pretty well. The UI is pretty top-notch, the images and the game categories are well organized and overall, the website looks and feels very stable. Unfortunately, then you take a look at the bonuses and see that KatsuBet doesn’t really deliver. The bonuses aren’t the worst I’ve ever seen, but what ruins the fun is their wagering requirements for both deposits and free spins.

Also, your boy Derrick had trouble with the live chat support but I’ll get into that later. For now, let’s look at everything in detail, starting with the country restrictions.

Other game provider-specific restrictions may also apply. Sheesh!

Okay, let’s dive into one of the most important aspects of any online casino. First of all, KatsuBet is offering a four-course welcome bonus package with up to €500 worth of bonus money. Then they’ve got several weekly reload bonuses, a VIP program, and a booster promotion so you can progress through the VIP faster. Unfortunately, almost all of these are plagued with the curse of really high wagering requirements.

Welcome Bonus

We’re looking at a welcome package consisting of four welcome deposit bonuses. Each of them includes a 100% match bonus that you can fully use on slots plus 100 free spins. You can also use it on other online casino games, except live casino games, but you’ll only contribute 5% of your wager towards the rollover. What kind of sucks about this entire package are the wagering requirements. Anyway, here are the deets:

First deposit bonus

• 100% (up to €100) + 100 free spins
• Minimum deposit: €20
• Wagering requirements: 45x(bonus), 50x(free spin winnings)
• Maximum bet: €1
• Maximum cashout: €100

Second deposit bonus

• 75% (up to €100)
• Minimum deposit: €20
• Bonus code: 2DEP

• Maximum bet: €1
• Maximum cashout: unlimited

Third deposit bonus

• 50% (up to €200)
• Minimum deposit: €20

• Maximum bet: €1
• Maximum cashout: unlimited

Fourth deposit bonus

• 100% (up to €100)
• Minimum deposit: €20
• Bonus code: 4DEP
• Wagering requirements: 45x(bonus)
• Maximum bet: €1
• Maximum cashout: unlimited

Other Bonuses

We’ve got several reload bonuses, each happening on a different day of the week. They will either offer free spins, a match bonus or a combination of the two. Yet again, the wagering for most of these bonuses sucks.

First, let’s start from the hardest day of the week: Monday. Anyway, with this bonus, you’ll get a 25% match bonus.

Monday Reload Deposit Bonus

• 25% (up to €100)
• Minimum deposit: €20
• Bonus code: LUCKYMONDAY
• Only available on Monday
• Wagering requirement: 50x(bonus)
• Maximum cashout: unlimited

Next, we’ve got the Wednesday bonus. This time, we’re looking at a couple of free spins. You can claim 30, 80, or 200 free spins, depending on how much your deposit. This bonus is only available to players who have made at least one other deposit at KatsBet Casino.

Wednesday Bonus 30 free spins

• Minimum deposit: €20
• Bonus code: WEDNESDAY
• Only available on Wednesday
• Wagering requirement: 50x(bonus)
• Maximum cashout: €100

Wednesday Bonus 80 free spins

Minimum deposit: €50

Wagering requirement: 50x(bonus)
Maximum cashout: €250

Wednesday Bonus 200 free spins

• Minimum deposit: €100
• Bonus code: WEDNESDAY
• Only available on Wednesday
• Wagering requirement: 50x(bonus)
• Maximum cashout: €500

Do you guys like loot boxes? Me neither. I know it’s kinda weird not to like a gambling mechanic seeing how I’m in this business but video games ruined loot boxes for me. Anyway, if you are someone who can still tolerate them, you can do so during Thursdays. By depositing €30 you will be given a choice of 3 loot boxes. Depending on which one you choose, you’ll receive a loot box of either 25, 50, or 150 free spins. All the spins will have the same wagering requirements. Players need to have made at least one deposit in the past to qualify for this bonus.

Thursday Lootboxes 30, 80, or 200 Free spins

• Minimum deposit: €30
• Bonus code: MYLUCKYBOX
• Only available on Thursday
• Wagering requirements: 50x(bonus)
• Maximum cashout: €100

Next up, we’ve got our Email promotion. If you are subscribed to Katsubet’s newsletter, each Saturday or Sunday you will receive an email with a bonus containing free spins or a special deposit bonus. The casino may decide who will receive the emails and who won’t but if you ask your boy Derrick, it’s clear that those who spend more will probably receive the emails, dawg.

Finally, we’re looking at the daily cashback promotion. Depending on how much funds you deposit and lose during a single day, you can get from 5% to up to 10% cashback amount on the next day.

• Players who spend at least €250 – €499 can get 5% cashback on the next day
• Players who spend at least €500 – €999 can get 7% cashback on the next day
• Players who spend at least €1,000 can get 10% cashback on the next day

VIP Program

Katsubet also has a pretty usual VIP program. Just like many VIP programs, this one also works through a point system. For every €50 you spend, players will get 1 Status point (SP). When players receive enough status points, they can move up a level. Each level brings an award along with other benefits.

When you place bets using your deposited funds, you will also accumulate Katsu Points (KP). Before you ask, no, KP is not the same as SP. SP is for deposited funds, while KP is for the best place. For every €50 worth of bets placed, you will get 1 KP. You can later exchange your KP for bonus money. Honestly, dawg, this is a pretty bad deal, in my opinion.

• Level 1 – SP required: 0, SP exchange rate: 100KP = €1
• Level 2 – SP required: 20, 25 free spins bonus, SP exchange rate: 100KP = €2
• Level 3 – SP required: 50, 50 free spins bonus, SP exchange rate: 100KP = €3
• Level 4 – SP required: 250, Personal VIP Host, SP exchange rate: 100KP = €4
• Level 5 – SP required: 1,000, Personal VIP Host, SP exchange rate: 100KP = €5
• Level 6 – SP required: 8,000, Personal VIP Host and €100 Cash Bonus, SP exchange rate: 100KP = €6
• Level 7 – SP required: 50,000, Personal VIP Host and Personal withdrawal limits, SP exchange rate: 100KP = €8
• Level 8 – SP required: 200,000, Personal VIP Host and Personal withdrawal limits, SP exchange rate: 100KP = €10

For your convenience, you’ll need approximately €10,000,000, to get to level 8. No biggie, right? However, you can somewhat speed up this process by taking part in the KatsuPoint Booster promotion. On Saturdays and Sundays instead of getting 1 point, you can get 2 points for each €50 deposited. So, if you exclusively deposit funds on Saturdays and Sundays you’ll only need to spend €5,000,000!!! What a deal!

There are plenty of opportunities to earn, cold, hard, 50x(bonus) wagering, free spins. You can do so through the first deposit bonus, the Wednesday reload, the Thursday Loot Boxes and everything else you can get from the VIP program and the Email promotions. Honestly, there’s quite a lot of free spins you can claim them, it just sucks that the wagering is so darn high that it makes them all almost worthless.

KatsuBet, according to our sources, is rocking over 5,000 games. That’s a lot of games, dawg. Naturally, slots and video slots come first, but we’ve also got table games, the live casino, jackpots, and even BTC games. While your boy Derrick does have a lot of complaints about the bonuses and the promotions, there are a lot of brand new casino games and well-known games here. Not to mention, they are very neatly organized which, for a reviewer like myself, means a lot.

Software Providers

• NetGame, Belatra, Platypus, Endorphina, Mascot, Authentic Gaming, Amatic, Booming Games, Booongo, Betsoft Gaming, EGT, ELK, Evolution Gaming, Evoplay Entertainment, KA Gaming, Kalamba, Lucky, MrSlotty, Nolimit, Nucleus Gaming, Onetouch, Playson, Absolute Live Gaming, Gamebeat, Greenjade, Leander, 1spin4win, Lucky Streak, Avatar, Bangbanggames, BGaming, Igrosoft, Petersons, Reflexgaming, Retrogaming, Spinomenal, Spribe, Swintt, Tom Horn Gaming, TrueLab, Wazdan, Yggdrasil, Zillion, Bulletproof, Hotrisegames, Reellifreegames, Fugaso, Mancala Gaming.

Slot Games

Ah, yes, slot games, the casino probably has at least 2 of those. What, I guess I was right because there are about 4,600 of them. Anyway, you can find the slots you like by using the following categories such as All games, New, Hot, Slots, and Bonus Buy. If you are playing using crypto, you can also take full advantage of the BTC games. You can also use the search bar and the filters to find what you are looking for if it’s something super specific.

Anyway, here are a few hot games at Katsubet Casino:

• Dia De Los Muertos, Gonzo’s Quest, Starburst, Wolf Treasure, Piggy Riches, Platinum lightning deluxe

Table Games

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of online casinos without the table games category that still has table games scattered around the “All games” category. Fortunately, KatsuBet isn’t one of those online casinos because it has a pretty good Table Games category. It’s almost perfect, almost, but someone let the door open for all the live dealer games to sneak in. So yeah, you’ll get a nice category for all non-live casino games, but the lower you go the more things start to become LIVE.

Jackpot Games

Unfortunately, Jackpots don’t have their own category so you’ll have to go looking for them yourself. If you need some recommendations, almost all games by Red Tiger Gaming are pretty good ones but that’s beside the point. All online casinos should have a jackpot category, dawg. I don’t get why Katsubet decided to not include one here, but it is what it is. Before you ask, no, they don’t have the labels that show the current jackpot amount.

Live Casino Games

And so we arrive at the live casino section, the crowning jewel at the top of the mountain. This is one of the better live casino libraries your boy Derrick has seen in a while. Not only does KatsuBet have Evolution gaming, but they also have Ezugi, Pragmatic Play, and a few other great live dealer games providers.

Not to mention, the games here are really well organized, don’t fail to load, and are super easy to play. Now, knowing that none of the live dealer games will contribute towards bonus wagering requirements, if you want to play live dealer games such as live roulette, live blackjack or live games shows, you can do so at KatsuBet.

There is no dedicated casino mobile app available which is either a good or a bad thing depending on how crowded your phone is with apps. For me, it’s a blessing. but honestly, you don’t really need an app to enjoy Katsubet Casino. The casino is very well optimized to work from either an IOS or an Android browser so you can get the whole PC experience on your phone without any compromises.

Honestly, playing video poker on your phone just feels more natural than with a mouse. Your boy Derrick was able to make a deposit, play some video poker and even contact the live chat support. Ah yes, I’ll get to that later, dawg, don’t you worry.

KatsuBet is a crypto-friendly online casino that accepts a lot of popular payment methods. You can deposit your crypto funds using any wallet which is great for us crypto users who prefer specific wallets. The only thing I’m kind of missing here is Etherium which is extremely weird in a crypto-friendly casino.

Deposit Methods

The following payment methods can be used for making deposits at KatsuBet Casino:

• Visa, Maestro, Mastercard, Purple Pay, Neosurf, ecoPayz, iDebit, Interac Online, Bitcoin, Litecoin, USDT Tether.
• Minimal deposit: €10
• Maximal deposit amount: €4,000

Withdrawal Methods

The following payment methods can be used for withdrawing funds from your casino account:

• Visa, Maestro, Mastercard, ecoPayz, iDebit, Instadebit, Bitcoin, Litecoin, USDT, VIrtual Credit Cards and Bank Transfer.
• Minimal withdrawal: €20
• Maximum withdrawal amount: €4,000

Accepted Currencies

Katsubet Casino accepts the following currencies: AUD, EUR, USD, NOK, PLN, NZD, CAD, RUB, JPY, BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE, BCH, USDT, XRP, TRX.

Now it’s time to talk about my favorite part: customer support. If you want to contact customer support, you can do so easily through their contact page. Just type your email address, type your message and send them an email and, hopefully, they will respond.

Oh, you wanted to live chat with someone, well that’s totally different, dawg.

Firstly, they don’t allow unregistered users to contact the live chat support, which is just plain wrong. Many avid casino players will have questions about a casino that only a real person can answer. Naturally, such people would rather ask a live person before registering an account.

So, when Katsubet Casino gates such a basic feature behind registration, your boy Derrick is going to call BS. Just let people talk to your staff before they register an account, dawg. Otherwise, the chat support does work, rather well. Sure, they will try to make the bot answer your questions, but you can easily bypass it just by typing a message in the box.

Overall, while the live chat support is pretty good, I have to fault them for only allowing registered users to contact it.

Available Languages

Katsubet is available in the following languages: English, French, Japanese, German and Russian.

KatsuBet is a very “Meh” online casino. If you look at the game library and the way how the Katsubet Casino website is designed, it’s actually pretty darn good. However, when you look at the way bonuses, customer support, and the VIP are conceived, it leaves a lot to be desired. Ultimately, when the two mix, you get a nice blend of “A very MEH online casino”. Take it or leave it, but at least now you know what you are getting yourself into. As always, we got you, Bro!
