Maneki Casino review (CA)

The welcome bonus in this casino is definitely one that catches the eye, as part of a multi deposit offer, CA$333 is offered, this I would describe it as a way of claiming the total bonus but in a controlled manner. To qualify for these offers all I had to do was make a minimum deposit of CA$10.

The first deposit is matched at 100% and the other two deposit bonuses are worth CA$111 each and they are matched at 50%. This is just the first welcome bonus and this casino has a couple of them.

The second bonus that this casino offers is The Lucky Welcome Bonus and this has some free spins included, as a matter of fact it has 99 free spins that can be used on Big Win Cat, to get this bonus is pretty easy just like with the first one, all that was needed was for me to make a deposit three times which allowed me to deposit the bonus amount with the same match rate.

The main difference however was the minimum deposit here was CA$50 and not CA$10 like with the first offer. I preferred going with the second deposit because it offered free spins as well. Clearing the deposit bonus and being able to access the funds had me have to play through the bonus 45X times; I must say this is a bit too much on the side of wagering requirements.

On Thursdays, this casino offers players 12 no deposit free spins, these spins will be available on a different game every week, and also I found out, this offer is only for players who have deposited at least CA $15 into their account within the past week. These free spins are also subjected to a 45X wagering requirement. They also have a reload bonus every weekend of 30% up to CA$375

The game section in this casino is somewhat impressive, other than searching for games by name alone I was able to go through them by provider which is amazing. They also have a very well put together game library consisting of over 3000 games, I think this is outstanding.

They have worked to ensure that they partner with the best software providers in the industry in order to provide some of these cool games, some of the most popular providers here include NetEnt, Microgaming, Play’nGo, NextGen Gaming, Evolution and many others.

Under slots I was met with some of the most popular slot games in the industry including some of my favorites, the likes of Book of Dead, Retro Rush Wolf Gold, and Immortal romance were some of the games that caught my eye in this section.

There was also a series of Blackjack games like Blackjack live and Blackjack Classic which could be tried for free before having to use real money first. I didn’t see very many options in the video poker category, but some of the games available here were All Aces Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker, and Bonus Deuces Wild Poker among others.

Probably the best part of the gaming section for me was the live section, here I got to have as close to authentic an experience as one can get, the titles here feature real professional dealers and the games are streamed live. The live casino collection includes most of the popular casino games from Blackjack to Roulette.

To begin with I think I prefer the mobile version better than the desktop one. Working my way around the site using my mobile device was a better experience. I didn’t experience any lagging whatsoever, I liked how well the site was arranged with a sliding menu on the left where quick navigation was neatly tucked away; the customer service live chat option was easy to access floating just below the screen.

I was still able to have the option of dark and normal mode here as well. The games were arranged in their respective categories making it easy for me to find the games I was looking for.

Banking options were also available on mobile, and at the bottom there was a list of winners on the site which provided a little motivation. The quality of the graphics and the games was A1, the games automatically adapted to my small screen. They support a number of platforms like Android and iOS without the need of downloading an app. Kudos to this casino for their amazing job optimizing this site.

When it comes to customer service, Maneki Casino offers a number of ways of reaching their customer care agents, namely, live chat and via email.

When I tried contacting support using the live chat, I must say I am impressed by their response time. They got back to me in under a minute and their response was spot on. The agent I spoke to was very professional I must say and he handled my query to my satisfaction.

When it came to verification, this was straightforward. All I needed was to upload my passport, a bank statement and a proof of deposit, which was quite easy to do. Even though they approve within a day, Maneki casino doesn’t send notifications for successful verification, so you need to keep checking.

Maneki ensures that all Canadians can deposit and withdraw their funds hassle free. Some of the banking methods for depositing and withdrawing funds include Visa, Mastercard, iDebit, Instadebit, Neosurf, Virtual Credit Card, Rapid Transfer, Bank Transfer, ecopayz, Paysafecard, Bank Transfer and Interac.

When you go with your ecopayz wallet, Deposits are always instantaneous and free which is great. Withdrawals on the other hand are approved approximately 1 hour after making a request, and takes around 1 day to reflect as part of the wallet balance.
