Stage5 N.V. Casinos are not licenced by the UK Gambling Commission

All Stage5 Casinos 2024

There were once more online casinos on the Stage5 N.V. network, but today there are only two. Both of them are operated from an address in Curacao and hold no licences other than one granted by local authorities there. The license isn’t taken seriously outside Curacao and is insufficient to provide access to the UK market for Stage5 or its casinos. The casinos are required to block UK-based players from registering or playing, but in the event that they don’t, our advice is to refrain from playing at them due to a lack of protection. 

The only safe casinos for UK players to play at are those covered by a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. 

Casino 4 Dreams

Casino 4 Dreams is a casino website that was built using WordPress. We know that because the WordPress logo still loads in the taskbar when you land on the homepage, which seems like a curious oversight made even stranger by the fact that we know Stage5 has its own bespoke software. WordPress sites tend to be quite basic, and Casino 4 Dreams is not an exception to that rule. The scrolling banner at the top of the homepage shows off a few of the providers that the casino works with and highlights a few classic slots, with “hot slots” beneath the banner telling you what other players at the casino have been playing and (presumably) enjoying recently. New players at Casino 4 Dreams are welcomed to the site with a matched deposit welcome promotion that runs across their first four deposits, but there’s nothing beyond that to reward players who stick around for the long term. The live casino section is also a little lacking, with only ten games available in total, nine of which are roulette. However, there’s no shortage of accepted payment or deposit methods, and the collection of slots is a strong one. We suspect that Casino 4 Dreams is a more sophisticated casino than it initially appears to be. Its website does it few favours. 

Casollo

The Casollo site has a lot in common with Casino 4 Dreams when it comes to aesthetics, but there’s a lot more substance to this casino than its sister site. That’s especially notable when it comes to promotions, as Casollo replicates the welcome package from Casino 4 Dreams but adds a VIP package made up of three tiers, at the top of which is a 20% weekly cashback incentive and elevated bonuses. Based on the information available on the scrolling banner that greets players on the Casollo homepage, there are more live dealer games here than at Casino 4 Dreams, too. Aside from being able to play roulette, players can also play live versions of blackjack and Baccarat. Gaining access to them might be difficult, though, as the live dealer tab on the site is broken and takes us to a blank page. All of the games can be found by delving through the “games” tab, which has fourteen pages but does include a manual search option if you know exactly what you’re looking for. In most cases, Casollo aims to process withdrawals and send funds to a player’s account within twelve hours of a withdrawal being requested, which is above the industry standard. However, all such claims made by Curacao casinos ought to be taken with a pinch of salt. 

Overall, the two Stage5 NV casinos that are currently online probably don’t represent the company’s best work. There are broken links on both sites and a comparative lack of options when you stack the casinos against the best that are available elsewhere. That’s not to say that the casinos are necessarily without merit – just that they lack standout appeal. We’re led to believe that there was a more substantial offering available at CrownCas, but that’s now off the table following the site’s sudden closure. Having only two casinos online after eight years of operations suggests that Stage5 NV’s priorities may lie elsewhere. This used to be a broad and varied casino network, but the impression we’re left with from the condition of the company’s remaining casinos and the closure of their sister sites is that Stage5 might be slowly withdrawing from the marketplace. 

About Stage5 N.V.

It was 2013 when the offices of Stage5 NV opened their doors for the first time and began providing services to the casino industry. It’s registered in Curacao and operates on a license granted by authorities there, but like many Curacao-based casinos, it also has a secondary office in Cyprus that handles the bulk of its back-office operations, including payment processing.

Stage5 NV primarily exists as a white label casino network company. That means it offers back-end and turnkey solutions to other casino companies across the world, the effect of which being that there are several casinos that run on Stage5’s software but aren’t directly owned or operated by Stage5. However, the company does currently have two casino brands directly under management. Through its white-label service, Stage5 allows its casino clients to pick and choose what they want when putting a casino site together. The company provides a full CRM system, support for mobile gaming, access to sports betting for those who desire it, and a platform of roughly six hundred online slots and other casino games.

Keeping Quiet

It seems that Stage5 NV is a company that’s happy to let the quality of its work speak for itself because it doesn’t go looking for publicity. In fact, there’s almost no information about the business available anywhere online. The company hasn’t disclosed its number of employees or annual turnover anywhere that we can see. It also keeps the details of its affiliate program close to its chest – but that might be through error rather than design. You can usually find out more about a casino network’s affiliate program by clicking the appropriate link on one of their casino websites, but that isn’t possible with Stage5 NV. The link on its Casino 4 Dreams website is broken. The same link on the Casollo website works, but only insofar as it presents you with a form to fill in if you want to become an affiliate. No details about what becoming an affiliate might involve or what the terms are is publicly available.

Closing CrownCas

We’ve already said that Stage5 NV does more in terms of providing facilities to other casinos than running its own, but it used to operate more casinos under its own banner than it does now. Until May 2021, there was a third casino owned and operated by Stage5 NV, and it went by the name of CrownCas. The casino closed that month for unknown reasons, leaving just the two still running. Two other sites, Jokerino and Borengo Casino, closed a little longer ago. 

With so little information available anywhere, Stage NV is a casino network company that is, in essence, unknowable. It seems to like things that way. If it didn’t, it would have a standalone website and possibly some social media channels for anyone who has an interest in finding out more about them. Such anonymity would be unusual if the company were based in Malta, Gibraltar, or most European territories, but it’s not unheard of for companies based in Curacao. Enough other casino companies use their platform for us to feel confident in saying that they must be doing something right, but how much longer they continue to operate casino sites under their own name remains to be seen. We wouldn’t hold our breath about the idea of Stage5 N.V. casinos becoming available in the UK any time soon – as of the time of writing the company appears to be retreating rather than advancing.
