Gale&Martin Casino Review - Not As Rosy As It Seems

Gale & Martin Casino Welcome Bonus

The welcome package on offer from our spandex-clad superheroes certainly sounds… well… super. €4,000 in potential bonus funds matching your first two deposits by an awesome 250% and 300%? It doesn’t get much better than that – at least on face value. Our team did a little research into those boring terms and conditions to find out whether this offer is as good as it sounds. First concern is the fact that the x30 wagering requirements are based on deposit plus bonus.

This means if your first deposit is €100 you will have €350 to play with but must bet through €10,500 to withdraw the bonus or associated winnings. A real red flag is the term that states the bonus is void if you use it to bet on any games other than slots – a lot of players will get caught out by that sneaky condition. Plus there is a limit on potential winnings of x10 your deposit amount.

You don’t need to be en expert in body language to tell that our team does not approve of these terms.

Gale & Martin Free Spins

There are 100 free spins available to new players at Gale & Martin Casino when you make your first two deposits. These spins can be used on any Play ‘n GO games, or if those are unavailable in your region, on Betsoft slot games. You must wager any winnings from your free spins 45 times before they can be withdrawn.

Bonus Code

No bonus code is necessary for players to claim their first two deposit bonuses from Gale and Martin Casino. Just make your deposits of more than €20 and the bonuses will automatically be added. There are no other promotions besides the welcome offer mentioned on the site at present, but you will be informed should you need to enter a bonus code to claim future deals.

Slot Games

There are hundreds of games to choose from at Gale & Martin Casino, including favourites from popular developers like Play’n GO, Betsoft, Playsoft and NYX. Some big-name providers are absent from the list of options due to the fact that this casino holds a Curacao license, but if you are one of the many that enjoys games like the following ones then you will enjoy the selection here:

• Book of Dead
• Chilli Pop
• Under the Bed
• Sugar Skulls
• Vikings
• The Masked Prince
• Zombies
• Dracula’s Family
• Reactoonz
• Black Hawk Deluxe

Live Games

Extreme Gaming and Lucky Streak provide the live dealer gaming options at Gale & Martin Casino. To be honest there aren’t a whole lot of options to choose from. Basically, you will have a choice of a few variations of roulette and blackjack and that’s about it. No casino poker games, no wheel of fortune and not even a baccarat table. In this day and age, this is a pretty below-average selection.

Mobile Gaming

There may not be much of a live dealer casino at Gale & Martin’s place, but the good news is that you will be able to go mobile when you use this casino. Android, Apple, Windows and any other smartphone or tablet will allow you to play at this online casino. Just enter the site address in your url and play a good selection of different games instantly.

Transactions

Euros are the only currency you will be able to use while playing at Gale and Martin Casino. Don’t worry if that’s not your currency though, you can deposit and withdraw as normal and the currencies will be exchanged at the going rates.

There are plenty of different deposit methods, so it should be easy to find one to suit your needs. You can choose from:

• debit and credit cards
• Skrill
• Neteller
• Entropay
• EcoPayz
• Cashlib
• Sofort
• Bitcoin

There is a pretty strict minimum withdrawal amount of €100, which is going to put low stakes players off from using this site. There is also a withdrawals cap of €5,000 per month.

Security and Fairness

Our team is not one for messing around when it comes to security and fairness of an online casino, and there are certainly issues with Gale & Martin. The licence is a weak one from Curacao, and it appears that this same ownership group previously lost a Maltese licence due to unfair practices. Terms and conditions like the €100 withdrawal minimum and the high bonus wagering requirements are also red flags.

Support

Should you need assistance from Gale & Martin Casino then the live chat option is probably the easiest one, with staff available around the clock to help you out. They claim that their ‘customer service personnel are the most professional and efficient in the industry’ which is a pretty big statement to make and one that quite frankly seems like a long-shot, but it is hard to prove that one way or the other. There don’t appear to be any other contact methods listed and surprisingly there is no Help section either, so it looks like live chat is your only option.

Restricted Countries

Residents of the following countries will not be able to sign up with Gale&Martin Casino: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Ecuador, Guyana, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Lao, Myanmar, Namibia, Nicaragua, North Korea, Pakistan, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, South Korea, Sudan, Singapore, Syria, Spain, Taiwan, Uganda, the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe.

Conclusion

Gale&Martin Casino has one of the stranger names in the world of online gaming, with a superhero theme that doesn’t really work. Despite the fact that there is a hugely tempting welcome bonus on offer here, all is not quite as rosy as it first appears. There are some tricky conditions attached to that bonus, and there have been some issues with the owners of this site which resulted in their losing a Malta Gaming license in the past. Until this casino gains a European license and makes this into a more player-friendly site our team suggests that you can find better options elsewhere.
