Jokabet Sister Sites

JOKABET IS NOT COVERED BY A UK GAMBLING COMMISSION LICENCE.

CryptoLeo

One of the things that Curacao-based casinos are known for, other than the lack of regulatory oversight they’re subjected to, is the wide acceptance of cryptocurrencies. It’s a feature of all of the Jokabet sister sites, but it’s such a fundamentally important aspect of CryptoLeo’s existence that the casino has named itself after the concept. This is one of the newer Jokabet sister sites – it blinked into existence on the Uno Digital B.V. platform in 2022. Like all the other iGaming sites on this platform, it isn’t covered by a UK Gambling Commission licence. We don’t want to repeat that point so often that it becomes stale, so take it as read from now on. CryptoLeo shouldn’t accept players from the UK – none of the Jokabet sister sites should – but it does. However, the fact that US dollars are the default currency on the casino’s homepage suggests that the UK isn’t really the casino’s focus.

One of the things that make CrypoLeo stand out from the other casinos on the platform is the amount of cashback that it offers to players, with all losses refunded daily at a rate of twenty-five per cent. Having said that, you’ll find similar offers at a lot of the other Jokabet sister sites. The weaknesses we’ve identified at the casino include a lack of transparency when it comes to promotions, and a strange insistence on forcing players to register an account before showing off everything that it has to offer. Again, though, similar complaints could be made about the other Jokabet sister sites.

Nine Casino

According to many a reviewer, Nine Casino isn’t just the best of the Jokabet sister sites. It’s also widely seen as the best Curacao-based casino of any description or belonging to any operator. That’s a somewhat tarnished crown given the reputation of casinos that operate from that part of the world, but it’s a crown nonetheless. While it’s hard to say what makes Nine Casino better than the other Jokabet sister sites (or Jokabet itself), perhaps we can look to the combination of iGaming options that it offers. It has a casino as big as the one at CryptoLeo and a sportsbook as big as the one at both Jokabet and BetOnRed. In terms of Uno Digital Media B.V. casinos, Nine Casino offers the best of both worlds.

Even if we accept the status of Nine Casino as the flagship of the Jokabet sister sites, there are still some fundamental problems with it – and they’re the same as the fundamental problems that we have with all the casinos and betting sites on this network. Not enough information is given about the time it takes to process withdrawal requests, the terms and conditions connected to the promotions are so vague that they make them more confusing than they are appealing, and there’s a lack of regulatory oversight. With that said, if you’re absolutely determined to do your gambling outside the auspices of the UK Gambling Commission, Nine Casino is generally recognised as the best place to do it.

BetOnRed

The only reason we’ve included BetOnRed on this list is because we’ve been able to independently verify that it’s a member of the Jokabet sister sites family. We’ve not included it because we think it’s a viable option for players in the UK. In fact, if you’re based in the UK, you’re not even able to log in or play at BetOnRed without the use of a proxy browser. The site actively denies UK-based players access through the use of location-blocking software. We’re not sure why BetOnRed blocks UK-based players when the other Jokabet sister sites don’t, but needless to say, we don’t advocate the use of a proxy browser to reach it. Playing at non-UKGC casinos and betting sites is dangerous enough without taking that extra step.

If you’re one of our non-UK-based readers, here’s a brief lowdown on BetOnRed. It’s the only one of the Jokabet sister sites to focus on sports betting more heavily than it focuses on casino games. That makes its name a bit of a puzzle because “bet on red” would normally be interpreted as a reference to playing roulette. For those of you who can access BetOnRed, it might be helpful to know that it also comes in app form and can be downloaded from wherever you usually get your apps from. Beyond that, we can’t give you any advice about the quality of BetOnRed for the pure and simple reason that we can’t access the site to test it.

NineWin Casino

If you know your international casinos well enough to be familiar with Nine Casino, we’re guessing that you’ll also be aware of NineWin Casino. This site was the first smash hit of 2024, coming from seemingly nowhere to rival the success of Nine Casino itself shortly after it went live in January 2024. For some people, it’s the best of the Jokabet sister sites. We’re inclined to reserve judgement on that, as we find that it’s very similar to Nine Casino itself, not really doing enough to stand out in its own right. That being said, we could probably make the same criticism of every casino on this list.

NineWin Casino doesn’t really have a niche, but from looking at the slots and games that it’s chosen to highlight on its homepage, it seems to be more interested in classic slots than some of the other Jokabet sister sites, with titles like Burning Chilli and Royal Joker in the spotlight. The core collection of five thousand (ish) slots stays the same, though – and so does pretty much everything else about this casino.

Kinghills Casino

Kinghills Casino is the very newest arrival on the Jokabet sister sites platform as of the time of writing, having accepted its first guests and members right at the end of March 2024. If those guests and members are expecting something vastly different from what they’ve already seen at the other casinos on this operator’s platform, though, they’re going to be significantly disappointed. The only real difference between Kinghills and all the others is the use of white and blue as a colour scheme. It’s obvious that Uno Digital Media B.V. believes that it’s identified the perfect formula for online casinos with this template, and it’s sticking to it.

The slots and games featured on the homepage of Kinghills Casino are virtually the same as those that we just referenced at NineWin Casino, albeit with a couple of exceptions. The promotions are all exactly the same, though, and so are the terms and conditions attached to those promotions. At the end of the day, this is a casino network that can give you quite a lot of the same thing, but very little of anything else.

Jokabet News

15th April 2024: This week, the Jokabet social media team has been hard at work promoting a few of the casino’s most generous bonuses and promotions. For example, on the 12th of April, the X (Twitter) page was updated with details about how new players can ‘catch a bonus code’ which can unlock 10 free spins. To claim the free spins, new players were advised to create a new account and head over to the casino’s Telegram. As the number of activations on this promotion is limited, new players were advised to act fast to claim the bonus. More recently, the casino has also announced the continuation of the Reel Riches Tournament, which carries a cumulative prize pool of £100,000, and a weekly prize pool of £25,000. As slot tournaments are a big part of the culture at the Jokabet sister sites, if you miss out on this tournament, it isn’t the end of the world, as you won’t have long to wait until another tournament commences.

Of course, because sports bettors are never forgotten about at the Jokabet sister sites, there are always lucrative new offers to take advantage of. For example, on the 10th of April, the social media team announced that any new player who deposits and wagers £30 or more will receive a 35% free bet, only if they use the promo code W35FB when registering. Furthermore, the sportsbook offered a three-day free bet new period, which ran from Friday to Saturday, and if that wasn’t enough, there were additional opportunities to maximise winnings on all betting markets.

Jokabet Review 2024

If you read our thoughts on the Jokabet sister sites above, you should already know a thing or two about Jokabet. You should know, for example, that this casino and betting site makes itself available to players in the UK even though it technically shouldn’t. You’ll also know that it belongs to Uno Entertainment B.V., which is one of the more reputable Curacao-based operators. While we don’t advocate for UK-based players playing at casinos that aren’t covered by a UK Gambling Commission licence, we know that many of you are happy to take the associated risks. If you’re one of them, here’s what you can expect to find at Jokabet.

Jokabet Welcome Promotions

The sign-up offer at Jokabet extends beyond just a single deposit. Newcomers are treated to bonuses on their initial three deposits, provided they agree to the associated terms and conditions. Here’s how it works: The first deposit is met with a 100% match up to £150 and includes 250 free spins on selected slot games. The second deposit has a 55% match up to £150, while the third deposit is again matched at 100%, up to £150. One point of concern is the absence of visible wagering requirements for these promotions. A thorough review of the casino’s complete terms and conditions revealed that a 35x wagering requirement applies to the promotion, but it’s a touch annoying that we had to go digging to find the information.

Other Promotions

Jokabet has a couple of additional promotions worth talking about, with the daily cashback feature standing out as particularly appealing. The terms are straightforward: if you end your day with a deficit, you’ll receive 25% of your losses back the next day. However, the maximum and minimum limits for this offer are not explicitly mentioned, an issue that is becoming a recurring theme in our evaluation of this site. Important information that ought to be easy to find simply isn’t there when we go looking for it. There’s also a wheel of fortune promotion at the casino, a special “reward store” for loyal players, and access to weekend tournaments with £500 prize pools. That’s as much information we can give you about any of those promotions, though, because that’s as much as the casino is willing to tell us.

Pros and Cons of Jokabet

Pros:

Jokabet is a sharp, professional-looking iGaming site offering sports betting and more slots than you’d generally get from a Curacao-based casino. It also has live dealer games, which is never a given with casinos based in this location. For some players, the fact that Jokabet accepts cryptocurrency deposits and can provide cryptocurrency withdrawals will also be seen as a positive.

Cons:

Setting aside Jokabet’s lack of a UKGC licence, there are other concerning factors related to the transparency of the casino. Information that should be readily available, such as the full terms and conditions of promotions and specific wagering requirements, is difficult to locate. Additionally, details about the casino’s withdrawal policy are sketchy at best, adding to the overall sense of unease. This lack of clarity in key areas diminishes our confidence in the platform.

Top Games at Jokabet

Jokabet should be commended on the size and depth of its portfolio. A lot of Curacao-based casinos only work with a single provider – usually Rival Gaming – but the Jokabet sister sites have access to a whole lot more. There’s also a sportsbook at Jokabet, but the focus of the site’s homepage is on slots, and the following slots get the lion’s share of the limelight.

Unleash the dragon’s fury in 15 Dragon Pearls, a high-volatility slot by 3 Oaks that’s steeped in traditional Asian themes. The game boasts an RTP of 95.71% and offers 25 betways on a 5×3 layout. The maximum win is a jaw-dropping 5,000x your bet. The game features a variety of symbols, including Yin and Yang Wilds, Vase Scatters, and Bonus symbols. Land three Vase Scatters to trigger 8 Free Spins, during which low-paying symbols are removed for bigger wins. The Hold and Win feature is activated by landing 6+ Bonus symbols, offering a complex and rewarding gameplay experience. With its rich features and massive jackpot, 15 Dragon Pearls is a slot that promises both thrills and substantial rewards.

Strike it rich with Bonanza Billion, a high-volatility slot by BGaming that takes you on a festive journey filled with fruits, sweets, and Christmas tree decorations. The game operates on an unusual 6×5 layout and offers a ‘Pay Anywhere’ betway system. With an RTP of 96%, this slot is around average when it comes to risks versus rewards. The game is packed with features, including Wilds, Scatters, and Multipliers ranging from 2x to 100x. The Refilling Reels feature allows for multiple consecutive payouts while landing four or more Scatter symbols can trigger up to 30 Free Spins. With a maximum win of 15,000x your bet, Bonanza Billion offers a thrilling experience with the potential for massive payouts.

Get ready for an eruption of wins with Coin Volcano, a medium-volatility slot by 3 Oaks. This unique game operates on a 3×3 layout and offers no traditional betways, focusing instead on special symbols and features. With an RTP of 95.66%, the game offers a maximum win of 2,551x your bet. The Hold and Win feature is activated by landing any three special symbols on the middle row, and Sticky Coins can help you get there. Once in the feature, you get three respins that reset with each landed symbol. The game also offers Jackpot Coins that pay out 10x, 20x, or 50x your bet and a Grand Jackpot worth 500x your bet. With additional features like Mystery symbols and Volcano Multipliers, Coin Volcano is a hotbed of excitement and potential.

Withdrawal Processing & Support

Despite a thorough search of the Jokabet website, a comprehensive guide outlining its withdrawal policy remains elusive. However, piecing together details from the FAQ section and the payment provider icons displayed in the site’s footer allows us to glean some information. Approved withdrawal methods include bank transfers, Visa and Mastercard debit cards, and various e-wallets like Jeton, Neteller, MiFinity, and Skrill, although PayPal is notably absent. AstroPay is another alternative, and for crypto enthusiasts, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be withdrawn via Ezeewallet. As for processing times, the site only states that bank transfers can take up to five business days on average. E-wallet withdrawal times remain unspecified, leaving us in the dark.

Customer Services & Licensing

A chat widget is prominently displayed on every page of the Jokabet website, serving as the most straightforward means of reaching customer support. For those who prefer email correspondence, the appropriate email address is [email protected]. It’s worth reiterating that neither Jokabet nor its parent company, Uno Digital Media B.V., hold a licence from reputable regulatory bodies such as the UK Gambling Commission or the Malta Gaming Authority. They are, however, regulated under a Curacao eGaming licence, specifically B2C-AK2QPM3H-1668JAZ. Although this does provide some form of regulation, it’s generally considered to be less rigorous than other leading authorities.

Jokabet – The Verdict

Jokabet is a well-put-together iGaming site. Its promotions sound tempting at first glance, and it comes with excellent games from trusted providers as well as an extensive sportsbook. However, we’re nervous about the amount of important information that’s either difficult or impossible to find. Getting information about withdrawal processing or the terms of bonuses should be simple, and when it’s made hard, we tend to get suspicious. Of course, there’s also the absence of a UKGC licence to take into account, too. Getting that licence, or even an MGA licence, would make us feel a lot more comfortable about the idea of playing here.

What are players saying about Jokabet?

Here are our condensed / reader’s digest summaries of recent player reviews of Jokabet.

  Beware, Jokabet’s not playing fair. Had a nightmare trying to withdraw £1,600, and it’s like they’re pulling strings from the inside to mess with accounts. Despite shelling out over £25k, they’ve shrugged off my concerns. Time to take it up with the big guns, the national betting authority and the Curacao licensing board. This place reeks of internal fraud. – source: Trustpilot

  Finally, a legit casino that’s not a headache for U.K. players! It Made a bit and cashed out smoothly, even with a £3k win on Plinko.
