It's time to liftoff and take sight of an exciting Bitcoin casino out there. Rocketpot. If you haven't heard of it yet, you can be excused as it's a relative newcomer to the crypto casino gaming realm.
It hasn't reinvented the wheel in terms of an online gaming or even a Bitcoin gambling experience, but that is not necessarily what we are looking for in our reviews. Rather we're here to assess if Rocketpot is fun, safe, fair, and everything else in between.
With over 3,000 games, a sportsbook, along with strong loyalty program, and tonsof tournaments, we think it's reasonable to say Rocketpot has the fun angle well covered. And its full licensing, random number generator, and secure encrypted connections (SSL) for transactions keep things safe and fair.
The support service works well and is available 24/7, and there's a decent welcome bonus on the table. Deposits and withdrawals are quick and easy to complete, for whichever of the 12 cryptocurrencies you choose to play in.
The one thing to point out is that this is a crypto casino and technically, Rocketpot doesn't bank with CAD or any other fiat currencies. But they have implemented the possibility to use Apple Pay, Google Pay as well as credit cards to buy crypto on site if you don't have any digital coins. So with that technicality out of the way, it's time to dig in deeper for our full review of the Rocketpot crypto casino offering.
Our Rocketpot review, like all our casino reviews offers a detailed look into each aspect that Canadian players might find important in making their casino selection.
To help you out, we also put together an at-a-glance chart (below) which gives you a good overall impression as to the casino's performance, including its strongest points. For the particulars in each category we cover, keep scrolling down. Or if you prefer, click the desired hyperlink under the 'More details' column to jump to that part of the report.
The star of the show at Rocketpot, if we're going to be cheesy and continue with the space related wording, is undoubtedly its crypto casino games.
While the games are mostly referred to as Bitcoin games, don't be put off if you're choosing to bank in a different digital currency. Bitcoin is just the most ubiquitous, so it's being used as the reference point. All cryptocurrencies Rocketpot accepts can be used to wager on all of its games, without exception, across the board. So you can read Bitcoin simply as a synonym here for crypto coins.
Now that we've clarified that, we'll just point out a few other essentials before assessing each casino game category.
Rocketpot has an exceptionally wide variety of online casino games in its catalogue. In fact, according to the site it has well over 3,000 crypto games, with more added all the time. Hence we suspect this might be an under estimation of just how many games it has.
The casino games come under all the different categories you would want and expect including slots, live casino, blackjack, roulette, jackpot, and baccarat games.
And Rocketpot works with an extensive list of game providers like NetEnt, Yggdrasil, Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, Push Gaming, Thunderkick, Red Tiger, and MrSlotty, to name but a few of the 70+ casino software companies currently powering those games. This results in exceptional variety in terms of entertainment, and affords you the opportunity to find all sorts of gems that suit your personal gaming style or mood.
By the way, for those looking to play slots for free, or free roulette, or what have you, almost all of the online games have a 'Play Demo' option that allows you to do just that. Live casino games do not. However, as always, we recommend using free play more for practice or familiarising purposes. For the ultimate experience, as you likely know, real money gambling can be way more fun.

Online Slots at Rocketpot.io
Like most online casinos, actually pretty much every one we've yet to encounter, Rocketpot has a strong focus on slots. Just how much of a focus? Well out of its 3,000+ games, over 2600 of them are crypto slots. Or some would more accurately say, crypto video slots.
These games can all be easily accessed from the tab labelled 'Slots' in the upper navigation. While there are no further filtering options available - such as finding games by software provider or based on volatility or paylines - there is a general search bar that can help if you know what you're looking for, and can't be bothered to scroll through the admittedly long list.
That being said, if there are software providers you prefer, the name of each provider is listed under each game's thumbnail to help you with your choices. And once you click on a slots title, the game opens up with a sidebar listing both its RTP and volatility, which is certainly helpful!
As for the slot games themselves? They are a vast selection of the best online slots now made available as crypto slots - that is you can use your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and so forth for playing.
While there are far too many titles to begin to list, a small sampling in line with Canadian slot tastes includes the always popular Gonzo's Treasure Hunt, Book of Tombs, Punk Rocker, and Monkey's Gold. And for those who like the Megaways games, with their seemingly endless ways to win, there's an excellent selection of such titles available as well.
The themes are varied, appealing to diverse tastes from the cute and cuddly to the rough and wild. With the bonus rounds, volatility, and payline options abound, you will certainly be able to find something you like over the long-haul or on a momentary whim.
Rocketpot Jackpot Games
Another strong Rocketpot category is its jackpot games. Jackpot of course, being short for progressive jackpot games, meaning the ones that add a small sum from each player's wagers across the network to a collective prize pot until one lucky individual wins the whole shebang.
The jackpot games with the biggest winning potential at Rocketpot - as in you can win the biggest prizes - include Cash Splash 5 Reel, Mega Moolah Goddess, and Major Millions, all from the legendary developer Microgaming.
If you get lucky and hit one of those jackpots you can easily be talking about a million-dollar prize - paid out in the corresponding crypto value, needless to say.
Table Games at Rocketpot.io
With so many slot games to choose from, you might wonder if that's all Rocketpot is about.
The huge slots selection does not, we assure you, come at the expense of the crypto table game offering. There are separate tabs here for blackjack, roulette, and baccarat games respectively, demonstrating their central place in the overall offering.
While many of the games listed overlap with the live games category, there are plenty of "regular" online versions of crypto roulette, crypto blackjack, and crypto baccarat as well.
Continuing on what we just said about table games and the overlap with the live casino, it's important to also detail what the live casino here is about.
Like many of the top online casinos, Rocketpot's live casino games are powered by Evolution Gaming, which is also the company behind NetEnt, Red Tiger, and Ezugi games. The recognised pioneer in the format, Evolution has been providing live casino games to operators since its inception in 2006.
There are over 700 games in the Evolution Gaming repertoire and while no single casino we've come across carries them all, we can say that Rocketpot offers an impressive selection. These include many options for live roulette, live blackjack, and live baccarat, as well as the increasingly popular live gameshows like Dream Catcher.
One small glitch we found, however, was that not all of the games listed under the 'Live Casino' tab are in fact live casino games. There were some scratch card games, regular crypto roulette, and others that snuck in there as well. Whether this is a deliberate, subtle way to encourage you to try different things, or a bug is anyone's guess. Either way, it's not really an issue.
Rocketpot Sportsbook
Although we're mostly here to review the Rocketpot Casino, we know many of our readers like to put down a bet or two down whenever their home team is playing. And that's easy because Rocketpot has a sportsbook, which you can access from the same casino account. All the major sports plus esports are available for your betting pleasure.
As for Rocketpot banking, what can we say? From our experience it works very well. While it is true you won't be able to gamble in Canadian dollars, this is an acceptable lacking as Rocketpot is a crypto casino after all.
For your convenience, if you don't currently hold a digital currency or have run out, you can buy crypto via a credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay direct from the Rocketpot website via UTORG.
* Rocketpot is a crypto-only casino, with its maximum withdrawal limit for all digital currencies set at the equivalent of $10,000 US.
Making a Deposit at Rocketpot
Making a deposit at Rocketpot is easy. You will of course first need to create a Rocketpot casino account, which consists of exactly two steps - entering your email address and creating a username. Once you've done that you're ready to go.
Step 1: Click on your username and choose 'Deposit' from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Choose the cryptocurrency you'd like to use.
Step 3: Enter the amount you want to deposit.
Step 4: Either scan the QR code that is provided, copy the crypto address, or click the 'Open in Wallet' link if you already have a crypto wallet to start the process.
Step 5: Confirm the transaction for the credit to appear in your casino account.
In other words, if you're familiar with the steps, deposits work in a standard way you would find mostly anywhere when making what is essentially a crypto purchase.
Deposit Limits and Times
The minimum deposit amounts per currency can be seen in the chart above. If you convert their value, they are more or less the minimums you would find when making a CAD deposit. For example, when we checked the minimum deposit of 0.01 BTC was equal to about $43, while the 0.01 ETH minimum was valued at just $3. Yes, that's quite a difference, but it's not absurd, and averages out to around $20. In any event, it's pretty much how things roll in the world of digital currencies.
As for maximum deposit amounts, there are none.
The issue of times is also quite interesting. Since the blockchain works by confirmations, you can either expedite for instant deposits with a small fee paid to the blockchain, or wait a tad bit longer for a lesser fee. Either way, the wait is minimal, usually no more than a few minutes, one of the known benefits of this form of funding.
Rocketpot Casino Withdrawal Process
When it comes to withdrawals, it is essentially the same process.
Step 1: Click on your username and choose 'Withdraw' from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Choose the cryptocurrency you'd like to withdraw*.
Step 3: Enter the amount you want to withdraw.
Step 4: Enter your crypto address.
Step 5: And that's it! The money will be sent from the Rocketpot hot wallet, so make sure to be on the lookout.
* Although you can use more than one crypto coin at Rocketpot, you can only withdraw in a coin you have deposited. So if you made a Bitcoin deposit, you can only use Bitcoin to withdraw your funds.
Withdrawal Limits and Times
Withdrawal limits unfortunately are not posted on the Rocketpot website, as far as we can tell, and we had to turn to customer support for confirmation.
On the positive side, there is no minimum withdrawal amount.
The maximum withdrawal limits are a bit trickier. As noted above, they are quoted in US dollars, being the equivalent of $10,000 for whichever cryptocurrency you are using. When we asked the agent why, he responded that "unfortunately as the value of the crypto changes, we can only advise $10,000". Fair enough we guess. Everyone's got to protect themselves in a volatile business environment, and it's obvious why this may be a concern.
In terms of withdrawal processing times, requests are sent out immediately for blockchain confirmation, and confirmed within 5-30 minutes. This is essentially instant in the online gambling world.
How Easy Is it to Withdraw Winnings at Rocketpot?
While the withdrawal process is of interest, we have found that what our readers are actually more subtly asking is "will I be able to cash out"? This is what withdrawals are all about at the end of the day, no? And hence, a legitimate concern.
"In a nutshell, yes you will absolutely be able to cash out your winnings from Rocketpot. Maybe not as quickly as at some crypto casinos which do not have any withdrawal amount limits, but you will be able to do so in full.
And if you want to withdraw more than the maximum amount in one go, we recommend speaking with the casino support. Sometimes, especially if you are a VIP player, there is some flexibility involved." Vienne Garcia – Author and Casino Expert
Can I Withdraw Money at Rocketpot without Verification?
One of the standout features of this crypto casino is the continual anonymity factor. By that we mean, that in addition to requiring no more than a username and email address to create a Rocketpot account, you can remain fairly private during the withdrawal process as well. That is, to a degree. Or more precisely, in most instances, so long as you keep your withdrawal sums low - that is not exceeding the equivalent of 0.05 BTC or $2,500 USD - you will not have to complete the standard KYC (know your customer) verification procedures.
For larger sums, however, and sometimes at the request of Rocketpot's gaming license, you will need to verify your account in order to process your withdrawal. For this you will be asked to provide standard identity details and/or documents requested by all online casinos for account verification purposes such as a copy of your driver's license or passport.
If this seems like an annoyance to you, it's important to bear in mind that identity verification is not an infringement on your privacy, or contrary to blockchain ethos for that matter. Rather, it is a way of protecting your money, by ensuring it is yours, and of course, keeping certain laws, which require casinos to do so. Also, it's a one-time process, and takes about a minute or two to complete, so it's really nothing to sweat over.
Rocketpot Banking Fees
As for fees, there is no way to sugar coat this, but yes there are banking fees at Rocketpot for both ends of the transaction. These types of fees, however, if you have done crypto coin transactions before, are standard fare, so shouldn't really come as a surprise. But for those players who are used to free transactions when banking in Canadian dollars, it is an important detail to point out.
Based on exchange rates, these amounts are fairly nominal, but they can add up, so you should keep that in mind and try to do bigger transactions rather than more transactions if minimising fees is a factor for you.
The up-to-date withdrawal fees can be easily seen in your Rocketpot wallet when you click the 'Withdraw' link, where they are listed onscreen for each coin. Currently they are listed as 0.0006 across the board, but you should always double check. Also, remember that the withdrawal fee is deducted from your withdrawal amount.
Deposit fees, on the other hand are between you and your blockchain of choice. But when making a deposit you should always check that you have enough balance in your crypto wallet to cover the transaction fee, otherwise the deposit will fail. Again, common crypto transaction stuff.
Moving on to the welcome bonus, this is an interesting thing. Rocketpot does indeed have a welcome bonus for new players. The catch is that it is only available to those making a first deposit in any coin of your choosing.
Just how high is this bonus? Well, 100% up to 350 mBTC. Of course, if that's not in your budget or you prefer to start smaller, you can get the same 100% match deposit welcome offer for smaller sums as well.
Keep in mind, you have 30 days from when you joined Rocketpot to claim it. And it needs to be actively claimed by clicking the 'Bonus' tab from your account after making your initial deposit, so don't forget.
Also, the wagering requirement on the bonus cash is quite severe, with a rollover of 100X, which is well above the 40X or even 50X regular rate.
In addition, while you can make a withdrawal while you still have an active bonus, i.e. before completing the wagering requirements, you will forfeit the bonus if you do so - as occurs at pretty much at all online casinos we've reviewed.
Other Rocketpot Bonuses and Promotions
Like many Bitcoin casinos, Rocketpot does not offer a lot of match deposit bonuses. The only one we found was the welcome offer, but things do pop up every now and then. So definitely keep an eye on the site, and more importantly your email, where special offers are occasionally sent.
Beyond the cashback bonuses, the other area in which Rocketpot rewards players is its loyalty program, which is a strong emphasis of the overall experience. Once you create an account, you will instantly see the progress bar as a visual indicator of how much more you need to wager to climb to the next level. This loyalty progress bar is fuelled by XP points, which you receive for every bet you place, including bets in bonus cash, though they're calculated at one third the rate. Once you move up a level you get to unlock a chest for a free spin on the bonus wheel and an always awesome award, usually in mBTC.
Rocketpot Tournaments
While a bit short on the promo front, Rocketpot Casino makes up for things with its tournaments. What's really special about the tournaments here is that they are fast and furious. Like 3 hour tournaments. And these are really exciting because it's all about a concentrated burst of gambling, meaning it's easier to win.
In terms of aesthetics, there really isn't much to say about the Rocketpot website. It is neither here nor there. That is, it is not fabulously gorgeous or sophisticated, but it isn't dreadful either. Rather we would have to say, it is ordinary, reasonably attractive, and functional without any bells or whistles.
This is not a criticism as one doesn't really need more from a gambling site. So long as you can find the games, cashier, and access to help, that's pretty much all you need.
In this case, everything is where it should be, all the links work, and really we have no complaints. In other words, Rocketpot has a user-friendly interface which makes for a pleasant experience that works well on all the browsers we tried, including Firefox, Explorer, Safari, and Google Chrome. So long as you have a good internet connection, which we assume all Canadian players do at this point, you are good to go.
What about Access in Other Countries like Rocketpot USA?
If you happen to be travelling in a country with restricted access, just note that a Rocketpot VPN connection will work as well – at least for now. Essentially, it makes it possible to gamble from any place in the world. That being said, we've actually found Rocketpot to be accessible in most countries without the need for one.
This doesn't mean that there isn't a list of restricted countries. There is. However, in the Rocketpot Terms & Conditions, the matter is actually addressed in a more accurate manner, as it should be. And what it says basically is that Rocketpot casino is restricted to residents of certain jurisdictions.
The United States, for example, is one such restricted jurisdiction, but from the wording of the T&C it seems clear, that as a Canadian player, if you're not a US resident, gambling at Rocketpot is fair game. So if you were wondering how to play Rocketpot in the US, you now know how - i.e. just like you'd do at home!
Mobile access is another area many of our readers are interested in. We can assure you that Rocketpot is entirely mobile accessible. Actually it is extremely rare to find an online casino these days that isn't, and even rarer to find a crypto casino that isn't mobile compatible, since crypto casinos themselves entered the gaming realm long after mobile gambling became an accepted and expected norm.
What this essentially means is that although there is no Rocketpot iOS or Android app to download, the entire casino website is mobile optimised so you can play at Rocketpot from any mobile browser on any mobile device.
Simply visit rocketpot.io from your cell phone or tablet and log in from there. The whole offering will then be available at your fingertips on the go, so you can pass the time at ease whether it's lying in bed, during your coffee break, waiting for the train, or any time you please.
Next up we've got customer support to cover, which at Rocketpot can basically be assessed as this: Great. It claims to be available 24/7 and that turns out to be the truth based on extensive testing. Plus, the agents are friendly and knowledgeable which always helps.
How to Get in Touch with the Rocketpot Support Team
Although if you look at the above chart with all the "No" responses listed you may be alarmed by perceived negativity, this is in no way the case. The reality is, in today's world, only two forms of contact are crucial, email and live chat, both of which Rocketpot does well.
We were particularly impressed by the Rocketpot live chat support, which in addition to being available 24/7 as advertised, is also really good. By that we mean that the wait for a support agent is minimal. And if not immediate, there's a live alert letting you know what number you are in the queue, usually no more than 1 or 2.
The service we received at all hours was friendly, professional, and frankly useful. It is also a nice touch that after the service agent closes the conversation, you are sent a complete transcript of your chat to your email address. This is a great way to keep track of your conversation and can serve as a handy reminder for answers to questions you may have repeatedly, like those regarding deposit limits or the withdrawal max.
And while it is true that Rocketpot has essentially zero social media presence, this is nothing to be concerned about. Social media presence is at most a nice extra for some players, but something our casino experts have never found all that relevant.
Finally, to round out this Rocketpot Casino review, it is time to address Rocketpot's safety and fairness performance. Or as some players might ask, is Rocketpot legit?
Let's start with safety. In the online casino world there are a couple of things that symbolise safety to players and none is more important than holding reputable licensing. Rocketpot for its part meets this need with a Curacao eGaming license, authorised and regulated by the Government of Curacao. This is one of the main and most accepted licenses, guaranteeing you're in good hands. The casino isn't a scam and won't simply abscond with your money.
Furthermore, as part of its licensing, Rocketpot games are subject to scrutiny to ensure all results are generated with an RNG for random, that is fair, outcomes.
As for the safety of your money, in addition to the eGaming license which protects that as well, all data is transmitted via encrypted SSL connections in compliance with the highest industry security standards. In other words, you're covered.
All and all, this level of safety and fairness, together with the clear banking terms outlined above should help you understand definitively, that yes, Rocketpot is legit. And frankly, as a respected casino review portal, we wouldn't have even posted a review if we had even the slightest suspicion otherwise.
The Expert Roundup on Rocketpot
Overall if you are looking for a solid online casino that works with cryptocurrencies, Rocketpot makes for an excellent choice.
The casino has an extensive list of crypto games you can play in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, or Neo if you prefer. Whichever digital coin you choose, the banking is quick, easy, and hassle free, so you can get on with your gaming without being bogged down by bureaucracy. They've also added a sportsbook so you have all your betting needs at hand.
While Rocketpot isn't really big on the promotions front, they do make up for it with some crazy tournaments. Plus, you've got a nice loyalty program which always adds a little spice. And, of course, as we've mentioned, we found the customer support to be stellar.
Bottom line, to summarise what at this point is clear, we recommend Rocketpot as a safe, fun place to enjoy online crypto casino gambling at any time, from any place.
Rocketpot 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.
