It’s rare to find a casino that dates back to the turn of the century that is still in business today; one that hasn’t been out of business, or been sold to a larger group.
When I stumbled across Casino Extreme on my list of upcoming reviews, I was pleased to see that this was exactly the case.
Let’s see what this casino has to offer you and whether it is worthy of your deposits.
About Casino Extreme
Casino Extreme is owned and operated by Anden Holdings Ltd. There isn’t much information on the group, but what we do know is that the casino has been licensed by the Curacao Gaming Authority. While this license doesn’t hold as much weight as say a license from Malta, it at least shows that the owners were willing to go through the due diligence process to receive the license.
Who Can Play at Casino Extreme?
Being licensed in Curacao means that Casino Extreme really doesn’t have too many restrictions on who cannot play. The casino is definitely open to customers from the United States (a rarity these days), as well as most countries across the globe. Here is a list of the countries that are currently blacklisted from the casino (always subject to change):
- Afghanistan
- Albania
- Armenia
- Belarus
- Bosnia
- Bulgaria
- Costa Rica
- Croatia
- Estonia
- Indonesia
- Iran
- Iraq
- Macedonia
- Malaysia
- Pakistan
- Philippines
- Romania
- Zimbabwe
- United Kingdom
Software Suppliers
Casino Extreme has been using Real Time Gaming’s software platform for their casino offering. I am a big fan of RTG; I have known the guys behind the platform for over a decade, and they have done an incredible job with the development of their games over the last few years, specifically in the slots arena.
As one of only a few software partners that would still accept players from the U.S., this operator has made a wise choice with RTG. Their platform is the most robust of any of those providers, so I think you will find the overall gameplay experience to be up to the level that you would expect to see at any top brand.
The Good Stuff
Slots Tournaments
I think that any casino that adds tournament structures to their slots platform is really on to something good. Slots games, especially online ones, can be particularly tedious at times. It feels like I could just set an autoplay feature and walk away for some time only to come back and see how I Fared.
Casino Extreme offers its players slots tournaments that have the option of ending on a Daily, Weekly or Monthly basis. So whether you are someone who wants quick results or are willing to play the long game, you are rewarded with games that will match your speed at this casino.
Excellent Mobile Play
Even today, with all the advances in mobile technology, some online casinos are still slow and clunky when you try to play them on your device. This is mainly because all the games have to be played via the device’s browser, at least in the North American market. Real Time Gaming has spent a significant amount of time and resources to improve their casino offering for mobile users, and the quality can be seen when you try any of the games at Casino Extreme from your phone.
I was very pleased with the gameplay, and I think it truly improves the experience when you can take your casino with you when you leave the house.
The Bad Stuff
No Live Casino
RTG recently acquired a live dealer casino supplier, and that should have been an easy add for their operators. When I wrote this review, Casino Extreme did not offer live dealer games, and this again hits me with some disappointment. I love live dealer games – the gameplay is entirely different than a standard online casino game, making it much more entertaining for the player. I hope that this is just a short-term issue and that we will see Live Dealer games there soon.
Bonus T&C
I was excited to see an aggressive Welcome Bonus offer from Casino Extreme, but as always, when I am reviewing a site I am looking for anything fishy in the Terms and Conditions of promotions that could negate any positive parts of the offer. With this bonus, it wasn’t hard at all to find the issue: they put it in red text right under the description of the offer:
That is ridiculous. I know that casinos want to stop bonus whores from coming in and taking bonus money off the site, but to limit bets to $10 per hand on bonus money is far too extreme, even for a site with Extreme in their name. What they are basically saying is “Look at this huge gift you can never receive” with terms like this.
Game Selection
As we mentioned, Casino Extreme uses the Real Time Gaming software platform. I have a lot of experience both playing and reviewing this software so you can be sure to get an honest review of their games right here!
Table Games
Hmm. Well, I didn’t expect the first part of my playing review to go as it did. I sat down at my computer, decided to ease into the day with some roulette…and spent the next hour spinning the wheel like crazy! I’m not sure if it is the sound, the gameplay or the fact that I was hitting my numbers, but I sure love playing the RTG roulette game!

Slot Machines
If I am going to spend time at a slot machine, I tend to want more than just the action on the reels. I am always looking past the theme for great bonus games or if I am lucky a huge jackpot that I could win. Now, I am keenly aware that jackpots grow to be huge because they are hard to win, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to be the next person being handed the oversized check!
Real Time Gaming has a great progressive jackpot series of slots, featuring some excellent titles. One of their games, Aztec’s Millions, has a jackpot of over $2 million at the time of this review. That’s a progressive that is just itching to burst, so you should get on that train right now and see if you will be the lucky winner!

Promotions
Casino Extreme has a wide array of promotions and bonuses available for their players. Along with their popular slots tournaments, you can find a series of ongoing promotions along with their Welcome Bonus which we will review right now:
Welcome Bonus
The Welcome Bonus at this casino is a 100% Match bonus up to $500 on each of your first 6 deposits. I like a bonus that extends past just the first deposit as that can be blown very quickly by a player; it also allows you to capitalize on the max bonus over and over.
One thing to take into consideration with any bonus is how difficult it is to clear the bonus. At this casino, there are some hoops to jump through, including some you may not have seen before. Have a look:
These are the Terms and Conditions that applied to this promotion:
- Wager your deposit plus bonus 15x (Remember to only wager on Non-Progressive Slot games)
- Your maximum withdrawal is set to 30x the amount of the qualifying deposit. (Remember bonus amount is Non-Withdrawable)
- When you are ready to withdraw, head back to the Cashier and request your withdrawal.
- Send us an email, contact our friendly staff via Live Chat or call us to get your withdrawal instantly sent to your account (Do not forget this step).
Ongoing Promotions
- Extreme Boost Get your standard 70% Boost on any $/€20-$/€400 deposit you choose and receive 20 FREE SPINS on ” Funcanglong ” this Weekend with no added conditions. Redeem this great limited edition Extreme Boost with the code "ExtremeBoostPlus" at the cashier before your next deposit. You make claim this great code up to 5 times per day.
- $50 New Player Bonus All our new signups will receive a $/€ 50 bonus when they open an account. Log in with your newly created account and click on the CASHIER button (€ - Blue Button/S - Green Button)
Please note: this bonus is only good on non-progressive slots games, and as soon as you play any other game with the free chip, the promotion becomes void.
Banking
With any casino that is accepting players from the U.S., banking options are limited for players and expensive for casino operators. There are fewer and fewer payment processors willing to take on the risk of American credit card transactions, as can be seen by the recent change from Casino Extreme to

- MasterCard
- Visa (no new cards)

VIP/Comp Program
Like any good casino worthy of my recommendation, Casino Extreme has a VIP Club that rewards its most loyal players with extra bonuses and comp points. The VIP club has 5 levels, starting at Silver (from a marketing perspective, this is a nice touch to skip over the Bronze level). Here is a breakdown of everything you receive at each level:

Now while I will admit that most of us won’t reach the higher tiers, it is still nice to have them as an option for any high-roller players that the casino may attract.
Customer Service
Casino Extreme offers all the standard Customer Service options to their players. You can reach them on the phone via a toll-free number, or through Live Chat (which popped up on my screen after a couple of minutes of inactivity on their homepage.
You can also email them, and if you are from the past, you can send them a FAX! Yes, a FAX! If it were up to me, I would stick with the Live Chat as your best choice for getting your issues resolved quickly.
Would I Play at Casino Extreme?
I love a good Real Time Gaming casino offering, with an excellent VIP and Comp Program; add in excellent customer service, and I am usually sold! While the Terms and Conditions of their bonus clearing leave a little to be desired, I will say that I would put these guys above many of the U.S. facing casinos in my ranking system. This makes them a mild recommendation – there are better casinos out there, but if you find the right promotion for you, you will enjoy the gaming experience at Casino Extreme.
