Spin Samurai Casino review (CA)

Spin Samurai kickstarts your journey with three offers when you enter the Dojo: 

• 1. deposit: 125% bonus up to C$150
• 2. deposit: 100% bonus up to C$300 + 25 bonus spins
• 3. deposit: 80% bonus up to C$750 + 50 bonus spins

The entire welcome package consists of three deposit offers with progressively increasing amounts. In total, you can benefit from C$1,200 in bonus funds. I like how the operator spread out the offers so that you could potentially receive a higher bonus with each one at the expense of a lower bonus percentage.

The overall terms are a little stricter than ideal, beginning with a C$15 minimum deposit. The same goes for the wagering conditions, with a 45x wagering requirement for the received bonus amount. This is slightly higher than the gold standard of 35x, but I believe it is still within reasonable limits. I had 14 days to complete the wagering, so it's definitely a doable task.

The rest of the terms are straightforward, and it's nice to see that the bonus isn't sticky. You can forfeit the bonus funds and withdraw your winnings at any time before activating the bonus portion. Remember to look at the restricted games before activating the offers because they might include some of your favourites.

SIGNIFICANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

• New players only, 18+.
• Minimum deposit: C$15.
• Wagering time: 14 days.
• Wagering requirement: 45x.
• Max bet while wagering: C$8.
• Game weightings apply.

Please gamble responsibly.

Extra and no deposit spins

The second and third deposit bonuses also include bonus spins in increments of 25 and 50 spins, respectively. You can use the spins in your preferred BGaming slot, Deep Sea or Four Lucky Clover.

I used my spins in Deep Sea, an underwater adventure with 5 reels and 15 paylines. I enjoyed the game's theme, which featured a variety of strange and exciting fish. If you don't want a deep dive, Four Lucky Clover offers a more traditional fruit-machine feel.

The spins are valid for three days after your deposit and are available for seven days once you begin playing. You can convert your winnings into real funds by wagering them 45 times. This is rather heavy for bonus spins wagering. 

VIP / Special promotions

Spin Samurai casino has a one-of-a-kind loyalty program with two options. You become a samurai or a ninja and earn loyalty points by playing on the site. When you earn points, you gradually raise the level of your samurai or ninja and gain enhanced abilities in the process.

Each path has its own set of advantages, with the Samurai path being a better option for cashback and the Ninja path being a better option for more deposit offers. You have 5 levels to play for, with 48,000 points granting you the maximum stage and the most exclusive bonuses.

The whole VIP scheme is beautifully designed and brings a whole new level of personality to the casino. Spin Samurai sets an example for other casinos to follow with its loyalty program.

With a well-organized lobby full of top-notch games, Spin Samurai is a slot player's dream come true. What stood out to me the most was the amount of detail the operator put into the site. These fine details give the site a whole new level of character and add to the fantastic game experience.

The casino lobby at Spin Samurai begins with Samurai's selection: a hand-picked selection of slots and instant games, all labelled "hot." Further categories include new, Megaways, slots and Daily Drops & Wins to name a few. A special category can be found under "Jackpot Matsuri" which is a selection of slots equipped with three progressive jackpots. You can participate in these pots by playing with a minimum of C$0.75.

Navigating the huge selection is smooth thanks to the search options. You can filter the games by the provider or search them directly in a traditional manner. The quick platform allowed me to view hundreds of games at once without any stuttering.

The only drawback is that although most of the top providers are present, some big names such as NetEnt and Relax Gaming are not included in the developer lineup. This was only a minor hiccup, as the overall experience was fantastic.

Desktop game information

• Slots 2,700
• Table games 50
• Jackpot games 400

When it comes to live casino, Spin Samurai doesn't disappoint. There are over 400 games to choose from in the lobby, with tables from a variety of different providers.

The two brightest stars are, unsurprisingly, Evolution and Pragmatic Play. Both are known as industry leaders when it comes to first-rate live casino tables, and they offer everything from roulette and blackjack to the most immersive game shows. What surprised me, though, were the game shows from Playtech. I had not tried the Spin a Win show before and can definitely recommend it if you enjoy fast-paced game shows.

However, there is one major flaw in the Spin Samurai live lobby. Except for blackjack and roulette, there is no categorization, so you must browse the rest of the games in the full library. This made game selection a bit difficult when I tried to compare different baccarat tables.

To enjoy the full mobile environment that Spin Samurai has to offer, it's best to download their app. You can do so by clicking on the app icon displayed in the left-side menu of the page. The app offers lightning-fast transition times and loading speeds, while maintaining the characteristics and features the casino has to offer.

If you don't want anything extra on your device, you can play on the modern site directly via the browser. The site utilizes HTML5 technology, so you can enjoy all of your favourite games in fullscreen.

Since I like playing on my phone instead of a computer, I actually preferred the mobile experience over the desktop one. I had no trouble navigating the website, and small touches like a slider for the categories make the whole experience perfect.

Canadian players have access to a number of traditional and cryptocurrency payment options for deposits and withdrawals at Spin Samurai. You can deposit using open banking methods like Interac, e-wallets such as Neosurf and Muchbetter, or stick to traditional payment cards like Mastercard and Visa. Additionally, I was pleased to see that the operator accepts Apple Pay, which is one of the quickest mobile payment methods. Those who prefer crypto can use all of the major currencies.

The minimum deposit with traditional methods at Spin Samurai is C$10; however, this is only available via CashToCode. For other traditional methods, the minimum is set at C$15. 

Withdrawals are possible from C$20 and upwards, but unfortunately, most methods have a C$30 minimum, which is way higher than the gold standard of C$10. Spin Samurai ensures that all payments are processed instantly, which was great to see.

It's also good to mention that cryptocurrencies don't follow any of the above limitations, and you should see their specific limits on the casino's banking page.

Spin Samurai requires you to verify your details with documents in accordance with the Know Your Customer regulations. These documents can be uploaded from the "documents" section under your account and can be submitted right after registration. 

I prefer to verify my details right away, as this way you don't need to wait for any checks when you make your first withdrawal. Spin Samurai allows this for all of the basic documentation, which includes the following:

• Proof of identity
• Proof of address
• Proof of deposit

These documents can be, for instance, a driving license, a utility bill and a bank statement. The quickest way to verify your account is to take a picture with your phone and select it directly from your gallery on the documents page.

Spin Samurai is operating with a license from the government of Curacao. The gambling authority monitors the casino's business operations and compliance with license requirements.

I was happy to see that the operator has placed an emphasis on responsible gambling. Its dedicated page offers plenty of information for safe gambling, as well as instructions on how to use the available limits.

You can use limits such as:

• Deposit limits
• Loss limits
• Session limits
• Wager limits

Each limit can be used simultaneously and should be done, even if just as a precaution. This way, you ensure that you stay within your personal limits.
