Das Ist Casino: one of the Best casino experiences

How does it feel?

Exploring the lobby of Das Ist Casino, we noticed that most of the must have casino game providers are present. We could play games from NetEnt, Microgaming, Evolution, PlaynGo, Gamomat, Big Time Gaming or Yggdrasil. The one significant absence we could spot was Scientific Gaming. But if you can live with that, it looks like a solid lineup of games that you can enjoy.

Design

As the name implies, everything about Das Ist Casino screams “we want to look like a German casino”. From the dark serious theme with orange tones to describing their loyalty levels as German lands. We found the site to be pretty simple, following the tried and true designs from the industry.

The menu seems to be a bit unstructured. It seems not all promotions fall under the promotion page, some have their own separate menu items. Also some payment terms have their own entry in the menu for some reason. Yet they put most of the others in the standard Terms and Conditions main page linked only at the bottom.

The game filter also seemed to be a bit underdeveloped. After brands like PlayOJO spoiled us in this category, lobbies that can only be filtered by provider and game name don’t seem like enough.

Promotions

Das Ist Casino features a welcome package made up of 3 separate bonuses. The first one is 100% up to €100 plus 100 Free Spins, which seems in line with most of the other brands in this space. What gets bonus points is the clear offer for a second 50% one, as well as a third 75% one. But once you’re past the new player phase, what is there to look forward to at Das Ist Casino? There are three main elements you want to keep in mind:

1. It’s the “Adventure”. It’s their way of “leveling up” you account based on play amount. There are 16 levels, each corresponding to a German land. They offer you no-deposit free spins as well as no-deposit bonuses. In our experience the rewards end up being about 1-2% extra bonus on your deposits, in line with what we’ve seen from similar brands.

2. On top of The Adventure you’ll also be able to join Tournaments. To gain points, besides playing the games, you’ll usually be required to get as high multipliers as you can. You can expect rewards consisting of bonuses of a few hundred euros as well as a few hundred free spins. Sometimes they also have “prize drop” events where a few players will trigger rewards randomly from a prize pool over the course of a day. All in all, these daily tournaments can provide a good supplement if you’re not going in with too much money.

3. They also feature a weekly 25% bonus which isn’t that much to write home about. It’s nice to have it, but we didn’t find it that enticing to get us to deposit when there was nothing else going on. Luckily most of the time tournaments are there to make things just a bit more fun.

Understand these T&Cs before depositing

As a brand operated by N1 Interactive, a lot of the comments on their terms and conditions are going to apply to Das Ist Casino as well.

Withdrawal Limitations

Das Ist Casino puts some limits on withdrawals that remind us of new, inexperienced casinos. One of the aspects that will affect everyone is the pending period, which seems to go up to 3 days. In our experience this is quite a lot. We’ve come to expect 24 hours as a standard and the more qualitative casinos out there will feature same-day processing as the norm.

Moreover, it’s important to mention their maximum monthly withdrawal amounts. Das Ist Casino offers a daily limit of €5,000 on withdrawals as well as a maximum of €15,000 monthly limit. While the former we could live with, the latter does disappoint those of us that are aiming for big multipliers on slot games.

There is also another term which we found quite controversial: you need to turn over your deposit three times before you start a withdrawal. In case this rule is not met they “reserve the right to charge you the cost of the transaction processing”. But they don’t mention any value. This becomes more confusing when you look at their “payment details”. Over there every method has “Free” listed under “Fee”.

Finally, it seems that phone numbers and phone conversations are vital for Das Ist Casino’s KYC process. They have a specific term: if your phone number is incorrect or if they cannot get you on a phone call for KYC purposes, they reserve the right to confiscate your winnings. That feels excessive in the age of email and automated KYC tools.

Second of all, Das Ist Casino has a very high wagering requirement on most of their bonuses. They’re asking us to wager our bonus money 50x before being able to withdraw whatever is left. This is on the high side of everything that we’ve seen so far. On the bright side, some of the bonuses they award during tournaments have only 5x wagering requirements, so at least those are easier to cash out. Free spins are always 50x though.

Gameplay Limitations

The first important aspect you should take into consideration is that they have a very large list of excluded games. It’s a good idea to check this list before depositing if you intend to claim a bonus since you could end up not being able to play your favorite game.

Third of all, it’s worth knowing that there are maximum withdrawal limits on no-deposit free spins. It won’t affect you early on, but once you start benefiting from the VIP club rewards and the weekly spins it will become important. What they say is that the largest amount you can withdraw from these types of rewards is €50. Unfortunately this does lower the value of all those loyalty programs by quite a bit.

Conclusion

Das Ist Casino is a good polished brand, clearly aimed at the German market. But even if you’re not local, there is a good chance you’re going to have a great time here. Just be careful at some of the bonus terms to make sure you’re not disappointed. Should you want to try them out, you can go here.
