When in January 2022, with the advent of the new year, the world of online gambling was treated to an exciting new casino, the Casino.Guide team quickly went to work on a thorough review.
Though at the time it still had a few kinks to iron out, Hot.Bet looked particularly promising from the get-go. And as the brainchild of Bellona NV, which operates 1Bet among other online gambling brands, we knew it had the requisite experience to do things right. And as expected, since our initial review, it has evolved to make us increasingly impressed.
For example, in terms of online casino games, it has quickly grown from almost 60 different providers, to no less than 70 providers powering its thousands upon thousands of games. In addition to an exceptional catalogue of video slots games, it has a rich live casino, and a really fun TV games section which offers a unique twist on the live gambling format. Plus, there's a particularly strong sports betting section, even though we're more about casino gambling here.
The welcome bonus is good, customer support is attentive, and there are plenty of payment methods available to fund all this fun. Plus, you can bank in dollars or the cryptocurrency of your choice adding to the flexibility of it all.
So if you, like us, are always on the lookout for a new online gambling site to spice things up, then Hot.Bet might well be the right flavour for you.
If you simply want an at a glance grade for how Hot.Bet performed in our casino review, have a look below.
As you can see, it passed the test in each category with flying colours. And from our experience, it keeps getting better, with new games and promotions added regularly.
Moving on to the deep dive part of our Hot.Bet review, let's start from the beginning, at the casino games. After all, online casino gambling from our standpoint is primarily about the wins and entertainment factor, of which the games are the heart and soul.
Overall, there are a few things we appreciated when assessing Hot.Bet games.
First and foremost, we'd have to say variety, because when you join an online casino, you want to have a lot of options available at your fingertips. One of the primary benefits of online gambling, after all, is access to thousands of options in one place at any given time. And to that end, we can tell you with full certainty that HotBet performs exceptionally well.
At last count, the casino already had more than 2,000 online slots games alone. And from our experience, we can see that this number is continually growing at a fast pace, meaning we're quite sure it will creep up into the 3,000 games range in no time, if it hasn't already.
A large number of these games are online slots in all their varieties, but there are also tonnes of live casino games, table games, and even TV games.
In addition to game types, there are also many different styles for each genre. That is because Hot.Bet works with over 70 different game developers to power its casino. These include online gambling heavy weights like Microgaming, Play'n GO, Playtech, NetEnt, and Yggdrasil. But there are also plenty of smaller game developers showcasing their treasures like Amigo Gaming, Eyecon, Lightning Box, Crazy Tooth Studio, and Kalamba Games.
As a tip, we actually recommend trying some of the games from the lesser-known developers. This is the ideal way to discover new favourites and add a slightly different spin to your play.
In terms of performance, these games all work great. Which of course is one of the biggest advantages of a casino that works with top-notch software providers.
As for bets, each game has its own limits and payouts. Most, however, can be played for free, with the exception of the live games, as is the norm.
If you've ever played at an online casino in the past, or even a regular old bricks and mortar place, you likely already know that the star of the show is the slots.
These easy to play, highly riveting games are always of great appeal. As such, any self-respecting establishment allocates a good chunk of space to the slot machines, as is the case at Hot.Bet, which gives you loads of options for online slots.
The bulk of the options can be found under the category 'Video Slots', though you can have a peak under tabs like 'Top Games', 'Featured Titles', 'Book of Slots', or 'Megaways Slots' as well to help narrow things down.
To find something you like, you can sort the slots displayed in the casino lobby by most popular, in alphabetical order (i.e. A-Z), or according to provider. Or simply browse through the offering under each of the clearly marked slots tabs to find the titles that most appeal to you, and proceed from there.
The search bar is always a good place to start when looking for a specific game.MoreLess
While the options are too numerous to list here, we'll just point out a few to give you an idea. For example, currently some of the hottest video slots are player favourites like Extra Chilli Megaways, Majestic King, Gates of Olympus, and the ever-popular Rich Wilde and the Book of the Dead.
If you opt to click on the 'Book of Slots' tab, you may be pleasantly surprised to find that there are somewhere in the range of 100 book themed slot machine games! Who knew online slots and book smarts tied together so well?! But so it is, from Book of Wizard Crystal Chance to Book of Wizard Double Glance and even Book of Pumpkin, and Book of Crazy Chicken of all things!
As for Megaways games, and their many ways to win, you've again got plenty of choices available, with just about any theme you can imagine like The Dog House Megaways game, Buffalo King Megaways, Poseidon Ancient Fortune Megaways, and Santa's Bash Megaways, which can help you get in the festive mood all year round.
If you're wondering more specifically about payouts for Hot.Bet slots, that really depends on the particular game. If that's a deciding factor for you, you can check each slot machine's paytable before you start. All we can really say is that there is a nice range here, with some pretty hefty winning potential.
This in many ways ties in to the level of bets, with some games being penny slots for a low-level investment, while others are most certainly high roller games with the prize purses to match.
Hot.Bet Casino Jackpot Games
If you're looking for the highest payouts possible from your bets, then you no doubt will be on the lookout for the jackpot games.
And while in our last review of Hot.Bet we reported that there were only two games listed under the 'Jackpot Slots' tab - and not even the most famous of the lot being Noble Sky and Treasure Nile - we can tell you that things have improved since then. Sort of.
That is, there are now around 100 games listed under the 'Jackpot Slots' tab, which is excellent. And you can find the rather cool Link & Win series of games there, which we like. But still, there is a lacking of the massive win progressive jackpot games we like to see, with the million dollar (plus) prizes on the line. But seeing as new jackpot games are continually being added, and the Sisters of Oz title from Microgaming is there, it could simply be a matter of time until we find Mega Moolah slots here as well. Or other multi-million dollar jackpot slots would be equally good.
HotBet Casino Table and Card Games
Slots and jackpot games are wonderful and all, but things like roulette and blackjack are also an integral aspect of any online casino.
If you look under the 'Table Games' tab at Hot.Bet you will find a mish-mash of online and live games and plenty of choice when it comes to blackjack, roulette, sic bo, Texas hold'em, and more. In other words, it's both dice games and card games categorised here. And there are plenty of options for whichever format you prefer.
Bottom line, as casino fans who love classic games, this table and card game variety is something we were particularly pleased to find, as not every online casino has such a strong showing in this realm.
Hot.Bet Casual Games
Another area in which Hot.Bet really shines is the 'Casual Games' tab. Here you can find a rich assortment of instant win games, a.k.a. online scratch cards.
In addition, there are arcade games like Incan Adventure, bingo games, Heads & Tails, and all sorts of other fun goodies we encourage you to explore.
Hot.Bet Video Poker
Next up is the 'Video Poker' tab. As it's not always found at online casinos these days, we were particularly glad to see its presence here, and even more pleased to see that there are lots of options listed as well. Joker Poker, Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and so much more! Hot.Bet is undeniably an exceptional choice if you're in the mood for video poker games.
Hot.Bet Crypto Games
As a crypto casino, Hot.Bet also offers some of the top titles that are strongly associated with Bitcoin gambling. These include multiple versions of Plinko and Mines including Minesweeper, and something similar to Crash titled Triple Cash or Cash, though as far as we can tell there is no Hilo game yet. But again, at the rate this casino is expanding, we can anticipate more such crypto game titles too, which are always fun for their fast-paced action in particular.
Hot.Bet Casino Originals
Continuing on the crypto games topic, another question many of our readers ask is whether or not a casino offers original games. Or, as is sometimes the case, if it carries exclusive titles from other developers. And the answer is, that at the moment, we were not able to find any. But it is possible that they will be added at some point, especially as the casino continues to gain in popularity.
Hot.Bet Sports Betting
To conclude the games assessment part of this review, it's worth a mention that in addition to a strong casino, Hot.Bet is actually arguably first and foremost a sports betting site. That is, the sportsbook is the more heavily promoted of the two options, and if you look under the site's FAQ section, you'll see a lot more details pertaining to sports.
That's not to say that this is done at the expense of casino. The HotBet casino is great. But if you are interested in sports betting, or an operator that does both equally well, then Hot.Bet makes for an excellent choice.
If you're into sports betting, the Hot.Bet sportsbook is worth a look.MoreLess
If you've skipped ahead in this Hot.Bet review, we've basically covered that this online casino has excellent games, across the board. We'll now add that it also has amazing live casino games, including live blackjack, live roulette, live baccarat, live gameshows, and more.
Each of these games offers its own distinct thrills, but what they all have in common is excellent HD streaming so you get a great picture to your screen. Plus, the actual action takes place in a true to life studio, so you get the feeling that you're inside an actual casino - or on the set of a game show if you're playing something like Sweet Bonanza CandyLand or Mega Wheel.
The hosts are also excellent and they are really what makes this genre pop. Meaning, their professional skills in leading the action create this interactive experience, and make you feel like you are right in on the game, inside any world class casino.
The overall awesome experience, of course, is brought to you by the best live casino game developers on the market, particularly Pragmatic Play which has recently been giving Evolution Gaming a good run for its money in terms of what's considered the best in the live gaming arena. In addition, you'll find an awesome assortment of truly engaging titles from Vivo Gaming and Lucky Streak. And since these providers aren't found at "every" online casino, this makes live gaming here a bit more unique.
Hot.Bet TV Games
In addition to live games, Hot.Bet also features a special section for 'TV Games' (found in the upper navigation of the website). Developed by TV Bet, these games are another area in which the site gets even more interesting. After all, not all online casinos carry this format yet, so it's particularly exciting to find it here.
As for what TV games are about, basically, these are more or less live games, but they're best played on a big screen, like your TV, hence the name.
Right now there aren't too many TV games to play. But if you're up for it, we suggest trying Wheel of Fortune, Lucky 7, or Bet on Poker to get a sense of the genre. The hosts are a little quirkier than your standard fare, by the way, but that's what makes them all the more fun.
Hot.Bet Streamers
On a related topic to the games and live casino, we'll just make mention of casino streamers. That is those people who share their gambling sessions by streaming live on a platform like Kick, Twitch, or DLive. After all, you, like many on our team, may enjoy watching high rollers in particular play the awesome games - almost as much as gambling yourself.
If this is the case, you can do a search for Hot.Bet streamers. Though Stake casino and to a lesser extent these days, Roobet are the main places these people are playing, it is possible you'll find some sessions being streamed from Hot.Bet too.
Since we're talking about real money gambling here, it is super important to know what the banking at Hot.Bet is like.
As such, as part of our review, we've taken the time to understand all the aspects of the banking processes here. The most essential element is that the banking is above board, safe and fair. So you can already feel comfortable with that.
In terms of the specifics, Hot.Bet is actually a hybrid casino. That means you can gamble in fiat as well as cryptocurrencies, with a nice number of options for both.
As for cryptos, Hot.Bet accepts a wide range of digital coins including the obvious ones like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, but also lesser known ones like Stellar Lumens and Chainlink, which you'll rarely find in a casino cashier.
Just note, all of the amounts in the chart above are listed in Canadian dollars except in instances where Canadian dollars are not an accepted currency by the payment method. In those cases, we have written the relevant currency symbol alongside.
If some of those numbers look oddly specific, it is because they are based on the exchange rate of a different currency. As such, they are subject to change according to that calculation, though what we've written should be a decent indication. That being said, you can always see the exact value for each of the payment method options in your casino wallet when you go to make a deposit.
Similarly, while the crypto amounts are listed here in CAD, these are the exchange values.
Making a Deposit at Hot.Bet Casino
With all the different currencies and payment methods, we hope we haven't overwhelmed you with choice. And rest assured when you make a deposit at HotBet it is actually extremely easy, and all these options are so clearly laid out, that it is frankly far simpler than you may think.
In order to get started, you will of course need to take the first step, and that is creating an account. That, needless to say, is free. Just make sure you provide accurate personal details as you may need them going forward.
Once you have created your Hot.Bet account and logged in you are good to go.
Step 1: Look to the top right corner of your screen where you will see the green 'Deposit' button.
Step 2: Choose the payment method you would like to use. All available methods can be seen onscreen. Just click one of the icons.
Step 3: Fill in the required fields.
Step 4: Enter an amount.
Step 5: Click the blue 'Deposit' button at the bottom of the page.
Note: Each payment method requires slightly different information. But it is all really easy, standard stuff, so it should be extremely quick and painless to complete.
Deposit Limits and Times
Once you have submitted your deposit it should take no more than a minute or so to see the money in your casino account.
You can see your available balance in the top banner of your screen at any given time. This is a good way to keep track of how much money you have available to play, and top it up if necessary.
As for the deposit limits, we've specified the details above in the chart, but in general we'd say they are considered very reasonable by online gaming standards. In fact, the deposit minimum is actually quite low for many payment methods, and many also offer an amount considered to be on the high end, making HotBet quite versatile in terms of deposits compared to other leading online casinos.
Hot.Bet Casino Withdrawal Process
Understandably, making a deposit is really easy. But how is the withdrawal process at Hot.Bet you may be wondering? Essentially, it is the same with a few exceptions, and looks like this.
Step 1: Log in to Hot.Bet casino.
Step 2: Open the 'Withdraw' link, listed in the dropdown menu under your username.
Step 3: Choose the payment method you would like to use for your withdrawal.
Step 4: Follow any onscreen prompts that appear.
Step 5: Click the 'Withdraw' button to complete.
"Keep in mind, you will need to use the same payment method for making a withdrawal as you did for making a deposit. However, as is pretty much always the case, there are some payment methods that only work for deposits like the major credit cards, so in this instance you will need to choose a different method from the options listed."
Vienne Garcia – Author and Casino Expert
Withdrawal Limits and Times
Something we don't love about the Hot.Bet UI is the fact that you cannot see any information about the withdrawal methods or limits available to you until you have made your first deposit.
So to help you out, we recommend having a look at the chart above. As you can see, in general, the withdrawal limits are reasonable. However, regardless of what is listed in terms of what the payment method is willing to process, the casino itself limits you to withdrawing no more than €5,000 (or the equivalent in any currency) from your account per week (i.e. 7 consecutive days), though VIPs may have higher limits.
As for timeframes for withdrawals, we would again say that they are in line with online casino norms ranging from instant up to a week, depending on which payment method you are using.
Just keep in mind, if you look at the casino's terms and conditions, you will see that "In order to withdraw any or all deposited funds, such funds shall be wagered at least 5 times in full." So only deposit as much as you actually want to play.
Also note, if you want to make a withdrawal larger than the max limit stated, you will of course still be able to get your money out. But rather than being paid in one go, it will be paid out in installments, according to the max, until you receive the full amount.
How Easy Is it to Withdraw Winnings from Hot.Bet Casino?
All that we've said about withdrawals until now is nice and fine. But the real question is, "how easy will it be when I want to cash out?"
We would say withdrawals here are very easy. The process is quick and simple. The wait times reasonable. And like we mentioned, although there are max limits, even massive wins will be paid out in due course, albeit most likely in installments beyond a certain point. In such instances, by the way, we always recommend reaching out to the casino support team, as there is sometimes wiggle room to find an even easier solution.
Can I Withdraw Money from HotBet without Account Verification?
Another thing to point out is that you will not necessarily be able to process a withdrawal without verifying your player account. As such, we recommend submitting your personal details sooner, rather than later.
To verify your account you'll have to complete the form adding all the required personal details.MoreLess
In addition, according to the T&Cs Hot.Bet reserves the right to demand personal documentation to prove your identity and location. Some of the documentation you can expect to provide to this end includes a copy of a valid ID document, like your driver's license or passport, a recent utility bill, and source of funds confirmation.
If this sounds scary to you, rest assured, it's not. This is exactly the type of proof of identity all legally operating casinos ask of players these days - which means you can actually see it as another proof of the casino's commitment to safety.
Hot.Bet Casino Banking Fees
The final area to address in terms of casino banking is the fees. Or in the case of Hot.Bet, the lack thereof. That is, the operator does not charge any banking fees whatsoever. This means there are no fees for either deposits or withdrawals. That is unless the casino sees you as transacting excessively, in which case it does reserve the right to charge a fee according to its T&Cs.
That being said, if you're banking in crypto there are always blockchain fees, but they have absolutely nothing to do with the casino itself. And the same goes for any fees you may be paying for things like e-wallet transactions. Those are between you and your service provider.
Now that we have games and banking covered, let's move on to another hot topic, the casino bonuses. Since we are being systematic here, let's start from the beginning with the welcome bonus offer.
Actually, the first question really is, does Hot.Bet have one? And the answer is, yes! Of course it does.
As for what you get? Well, each new casino player is eligible for a nice neat sum of 100% up to $300 on your first deposit.
Just remember that, at Hot.Bet, you need to actively claim each bonus using the relevant promo code. In the case of the Hot.Bet welcome offer, that means you will need to enter the bonus code WELCOME200 in the cashier when you make your first deposit.
Also, note that the wagering requirement is a standard 35X, which needs to be completed within 21 days, which from our experience, shouldn't be a problem.
Your best bet for completing the play through requirement is the slots and scratch card games which contribute at a rate of 100%.
Roulette is also an option, though it only contributes at a rate of 10%.
Other games don't count at all, so just keep that in mind if you're goal is to work through that bonus money.
This is the casino welcome bonus. There is a separate sports welcome offer that is a 100% up to $150 match deposit bonus. The really good thing about the sports bonus is actually the wagering requirement – in order to cash out the sports bonus, you will simply need to roll over the bonus amount 16X.
Other Hot.Bet Bonuses and Promotions
In addition to the welcome offer, there currently aren't many other promotions available at Hot.Bet. The one standout is what is called the reload bonus. But really it is a second deposit bonus. And what it gives you is 50% up to $300 on your second deposit. In this case make sure to use the coupon code RELOAD50 when you make your second deposit to ensure your account is credited.
Similarly, there is sports reload bonus of 50% up to $75.
The reload bonuses for sports betting and the casino.MoreLess
Other than that, there are sometimes promotions sent to your email or phone, so make sure that you provide valid contact details when you register at Hot.Bet.
Or watch the top banner on the site, for seasonal specials like the limited time Spring Is in the Air promo, which ran through April 2023, with 10 consecutive days of bonus fun totalling up to $1,500 in extra cash.
As for a Hot.Bet VIP club or loyalty program, neither yet existed at the time of writing. But should that change, we will be sure to make that update here.
On the other hand if you're looking for tournament fun, there are always at least a couple of options offered to pick up some extra cash prizes, in particular through the Drops & Wins competitions, and often-running Spinomenal Grand Tour tournaments.
Next up, let's have a look at the Hot.Bet website. Obviously this is something you can do yourself if you haven't already done so. But we know that many of our readers like the tips our casino experts provide on this front, so it's worth a mention.
Basically, we would say the website is okay. It looks decent and is responsive. Most importantly, the small glitches we noted when Hot.Bet launched have since been addressed.
For example, full localisation is now working so that when we log in from a Canadian IP (versus a European IP) we see all the details in kind, so the bonus promotions are listed in Canadian dollars as opposed to euros. And when you bet on games, you will see your bets and balance, in the same way, according to your chosen currency/location, so in this case in CAD rather than EUR.
Also, while we once reported on formatting issues on different screen sizes and browsers, this has vastly been approved - though you will still have to scroll right sometimes in the casino lobby to see all the tab options.
And for some reason the 'Payment Methods' link in the footer links back to Hot.Bet sports. But other than that the links and buttons, from what we found, work well.
Beyond that, there's not much to say. Overall the web design features a fairly typical black background, with the games set up in a grid format. So whether or not you like that style is more a matter of personal taste than anything.
What About Access in Other Countries Like Hot.Bet Casino USA?
On a related topic to the actual website, is access to the Hot.Bet site. Or what many players want to know more specifically is: how to access the casino when abroad?
The reality is that Hot.Bet is super strict on the blocking front. If you are trying to log in from a restricted country, be it the US or somewhere in the Middle East, you will not be able to do so. In fact, you will not even be able to browse the website at all, and will only see a black screen with a message stating that access is forbidden.
While we can't technically recommend this, we will however say that by using a VPN that placed our IP in Canada, we were easily able to get around this. Just be careful, however, if you turn to live chat support when logged in to Hot.Bet using a VPN, because the agent can easily catch on. And if you get caught at any point, just note that there could be not so pleasant consequences. In other words, this isn't our advice, but rather an observation.
Another dimension of usability that Casino.Guide readers are interested in is of course the casino app. Or in today's world, in which fewer and fewer online casinos have created a dedicated app, mobile compatibility.
As is the trend today, however, there is no casino app. Instead, Hot.Bet is a fully mobile optimised casino. This means that you can access the site from any Android or iOS device, without the need to download the casino.
Just like you would do from your desktop, you simply browse to the website from your mobile phone or tablet, and log in from there. Thanks to HTML5 programming, the full offering is then automatically available to you.
True, the layout is slightly altered to fit the small screen of a tablet or smartphone, but if you've already been playing at Hot.Bet from your desktop, it will take no more than a minute to get used to the mobile interface. And once you do, rest assured, everything works perfectly smoothly, with all games instantly available so you can enjoy:
With a solid offering and excellent performance, you won't necessarily have a need to contact customer support. However, it's important to know that it's available, just in case you do. Perhaps even more importantly, to know that the Hot.Bet support service is responsive, and frankly useful, which is why we'll give you some pointers on this end as well.
How to Get in Touch with the Hot.Bet Casino Support Team
As you can see, HotBet offers comprehensive customer service through the main methods of communication (phone no longer being one of them, though if you ask your agent, they may give you a number to call).
In general, the live chat function works perfectly well, and is the speediest way to get assistance, so it should actually be your first choice. If you prefer email, we have found that the Hot.Bet support team does respond, though in a couple of trials there was a lag of a few hours, so if you need something now, go with chat.
In terms of the quality of help provided, in general we found customer service to be both friendly and competent, though it wasn't always easy getting answers out of them. For example, after signing up and not seeing details about withdrawal methods and limits listed, we turned to support to clarify.
The agent, while nice, requested a lot of personal details like username, address, date of birth and phone number, as a prerequisite for answering, which seemed a bit much. On the second try, however, a different agent was more helpful, pointing out how to complete the personal details section so we could see it ourselves.
Also, we had a glance through the Hot.Bet FAQs before turning to support – since reading the casino's FAQ page is always useful. And while there is good information there about many of the casino's workings, there wasn't a whole lot about the withdrawal process, which we think would be worth adding.
Hot.Bet Casino on Social Media
Although online casinos don't likely open social media accounts in order to provide another avenue of support - rather tend to have them as another way to engage with players - we've found that posting or PMing a casino on one of these platforms can also be useful at times.
Hot.Bet, however, does not seem to have any social media accounts activated. We checked for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram to no avail.
This of course does not mean that the casino does not plan on joining any of these platforms at some point in the future. But even if it doesn't, it's more than acceptable to us. Because although it can be nice, it really isn't a necessary move on the casino's part. And likely, it's better off investing its energy and resources elsewhere.
Having all the rights elements in place for a terrific casino experience, there's only one last area to address. And that is safety and fairness. Or more accurately, is Hot.Bet safe and fair?
In one word, to cover them both, the answer is yes. Of course it is. We wouldn't have written this much or let you read this far if it wasn't. As professional casino reviewers, it is our duty not to lead you astray, and we only cover casinos worth recommending.
To give you a better sense of what that means, first and foremost, Hot.Bet is fully licensed and regulated under the Law of Curacao.
The casino further protects you by maintaining the best privacy practices available, with all personal information and financial transactions transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and, after being checked with the latest fraud control system, stored in a secure operating environment.
Additionally, all games are from reputable providers which use random number generator (RNG) technology to ensure the outcome of every round and bet is fair.
Plus, in line with today's safer gambling practices, the site is super strict about keeping gambling available on to those 18 years and up, going so far as to recommend how to add parental controls to internet access.
And, if you're interested, the site also offers some gambling controls like Self Exclusion, Account Closure, or Deposit Limits which some players find useful.
In other words, if security and fairness are important to you – as they should be! – Hot.Bet passes the test here with flying colours as well.
Hot.Bet FAQs
After such a thorough Hot.Bet review, we think we've covered just about everything. But since we know some of our readers are simply scanning, these FAQs should do the trick, answering any remaining queries you may have.
One of the biggest trends in online gambling these days is undeniably crypto casinos. Older, more established online casinos are quickly scrambling to fit these digital currencies into their cashier, while newer online casinos like Hot.Bet were already built with crypto banking options built in.
This means, that at Hot.Bet you can bank in Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Tether, Ethereum, Litecoin, Stellar Lumens, USD Coin, and Chainlink alike. But, if you prefer, you can just as easily bank in fiats like USD, EUR, or CAD.
2.) Why do I need to verify my identity at Hot.Bet?
Realistically, none of us like filling in forms or providing paperwork. It is undeniably a drag. But the reality is, these kinds of things are a fact of life. And often for good reason.
In the event of identity verification, this is done as part of the casino's legal obligations in terms of fraud and money laundering, in addition to protect you and your identity/money, as the player.
So while it can seem like a hassle, for starters, it really isn't that bad. Generally it takes no more than a few minutes. And in any event, it is something you're going to have to do if you want to withdraw from any reputable operator, which realistically, is the only type of place you should play.
3.) Can I use a VPN to play at Hot.Bet?
Yes, you can use a VPN to play at Hot.Bet casino. This gives you access to Hot.Bet from the US as well as a long list of other restricted territories.
Whether or not you should use a VPN, however, is up to you. On the positive side, even a free VPN service turned on to an IP where gambling is allowed will give you access to the full Hot.Bet offering. But in so doing, you will need to consider how you will fill in your registration form and verify your account for withdrawals, should the need arise.
4.) Does Hot.Bet have good bonus offers?
Hot.Bet has a nice welcome bonus of 100% up to $300, and a decent follow up bonus (which it called a reload bonus in this case) at 50% up to $300. While these aren't huge amounts, they are, in our opinion worth collecting on, especially since the playthrough requirements are well within reason, making them relatively easy to clear.
In addition, at most times of the year, there will be other match deposit bonuses listed onsite, giving you the opportunity to get more bang for your buck, i.e. play, and hopefully in turn, win more for the same amount.
5.) Can I get free spins at Hot.Bet?
Some online casinos are big on free spins. And from our experience, this is particularly true for crypto casinos, which are much more likely to feature free spins offers, as bonuses are a bit of an issue considering wildly fluctuating exchange rates.
At Hot.Bet, however, we found offers to be exactly the opposite, with the only promoted bonuses being the match deposit variety. That being said, you will sometimes be able to find free spins here, and certainly as part of winnings in regular slots play.
6.) Is banking at Hot.Bet safe?
The biggest concern of online casino players is needless to say around money. There are simply too many stories of stolen credentials, hackers, or even shoddy operators out there who make cashing in a thousand times easier than cashing out.
This is not to scare you, and certainly not in terms of Hot.Bet, which we can tell you from our experience, and extensive research, is an operator that takes service seriously, protecting your personal details and providing banking terms that are reasonable and fair, so that playing here is indeed safe, all around.
7.) Is Hot.Bet a scam?
Like fears of banking, one of the most searched Google terms around any online casino players are considering is whether or not the place is a scam. Again, reasonable enough since we are talking about real money on the line here. And something we always advise you to consider as well - though we can tell you, at Casino.Guide we would never even review an operator that wasn't 100% legit.
As such, we'll just reiterate that Hot.Bet is not a scam, in any way. It is a completely legal and legitimate casino operator, that provides excellent games, for great entertainment and potential winnings.
The Expert Roundup on Hot.Bet Casino
And that in a nutshell is the Hot.Bet casino experience. If you just skimmed through or skipped ahead, we would summarise it as a very good online casino, that is constantly getting better.
There are a lot of games from a lot of different providers, and all work really well. As such, it is a great place to visit for the entertainment value as much as the potential winnings.
While the welcome bonus is nice, we do admit that we're hoping to see it expanded in due course. But for now it is totally acceptable by pretty much anyone's standards.
And the fact that you can bank in fiat and crypto, plus use a variety of common payment methods that should work for pretty much any budget, is a nice added touch in terms of convenience.
Other than that, there is not a whole lot more to say. Essentially, if we were to put it into a single phrase: this is solid gaming from a reliable operator, that is well worth a try for new players and gambling pros alike.
Hot.Bet Casino was tested and reviewed by Vienne Garcia
I've been working in the online casino landscape in Malta for more than 10 years and have seen how the industry works from customer service roles to the backend of the business. While I am lucky enough to call myself a native on the sunny island called Malta, I also enjoy travelling and have travelled across Canada! After wandering through the great white north, I have decided to share my knowledge and now work with Canadian players to compile accurate casino reviews to help players navigate through the hundreds of gaming sites online.
