Casino Regent - Bonus and Site Review for Canadians

When you name yourself Regent, your casino has a lot to live up to, and this review of Regent casino found that this operator does just that. Although the site has been up and running only since 2018, it has done fairly well in this short period and players can be expected to be treated like royalty via some very nice bonuses including no deposit free spins which are available to players from Canada. Players from Canada, in fact, have already hit it big here and during the time of this review, we found jackpot winners from Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Victoria, Vancouver and few other cities over the past couple of years. Canada also represents a steadily increasing market for the operator, with the result that a lot of bonus options are available for Canadians.

Review of Regent Casino Welcome Bonus Offer for Canadians

Casino Regent is offering a very tidy $800 worth of deposit bonuses, spread over the first 4 deposits, for players residing in Canada. This is one of the highest offers, among newer casinos, that we've reviewed. This bonus takes the form of a 100% deposit match, up to a maximum of $200, for the first and fourth deposits, with a further 50% match up to $200 for the second and third deposits. Claiming this bonus during this review was fairly straightforward and the site stayed true to its word in crediting the amount to the bonus balance. The goodies didn't just stop there, as each deposit bonus also included some decent free spins - 30 each for the first and fourth deposits, and 20 each for the second and third deposits. So, all total there was a full $800 + 100 free spins worth of a welcome bonus for players in Canada available at the time of this review.

The wagering requirement for this bonus is set to 35x which is about average for the market. Most Canadian sites we've reviewed have this requirement between 30-40x so Regent casino's rate is par for the course. What this requirement means is that any bonus claimed will need to be used for 35 times the bonus amount before it can be withdrawn. For example, if you deposited $100 and got an extra $100 as a deposit match, then there will be no restriction on the initial $100, but the bonus $100 will need to be used for betting up to a minimum of $3500 worth of bets before it (and any resulting winnings) gets transferred to your real money balance and becomes eligible for a cashout. The eligibility period for this bonus is limited to 21 days.

Being a new casino, Regent casino also offers no deposit bonus options on occasions. At the time of this review, there was a very nice no deposit bonus option for Canadians in the form of 100 free spins for players from Canada and New Zealand. This has to be one of the better no deposit offers in Canada that we've reviewed, as most of the other no deposit bonuses that we reviewed gave out only 20-30 free spins, if that. This no deposit bonus has a wagering requirement of 50x which is a tad on the higher side as other reviewed sites have this set to 30-40x. This no deposit bonus also comes with a $100 withdrawal cap which is about standard for most no deposit bonuses. Players in Canada can avail of this no deposit bonus on most slots available at the casino, though a few are not eligible (check out the site for the full list). This no deposit bonus can be claimed either automatically, i.e. simply by registering to the site with no special activation code required, or by contacting their customer support in case this is not credited to you automatically.

Review of Other Promotions at Regent Casino for Canadians

Apart from the welcome and no deposit bonus, Regent casino also has a few other bonus and promo offers for their customers in Canada. During this review, there was a nice tournament for specific Microgaming slots with a prize pool of $20,000 including an amazing $2500 for the winner, with progressively lower amounts for the top 100 ranked players. In addition, another tournament with an even more fantastic $40,000 worth of a prize pool was available for players of their live dealer games (i.e. a tournament for Evolution's games). In this latter tournament, every $500 worth of live dealer bets gets one ticket to the prize draw, and the 1st to 20th places on the overall leaderboard wins a fine $2000 each. Such tournaments keep running every other week or every month so be sure to regularly review their site for these bonuses.

Apart from these, we were also able to get some other bonus offers including more no deposit free spins and prize draws as part of this review, and Regent casino also promised us other perks such as more free spins, cashbacks, other tournaments, raffle prize draws and few other benefits, which could all have been availed if we had played more on the site. In short, this site counts itself as one of the better free spins casinos available in Canada today.

Regent casino also has a nice comp-points based loyalty program for its players from Canada. We (as all players from Canada would be) were automatically enrolled into this exclusive club as soon as a real money deposit was made and wagered during this review. You can climb the VIP ladder, based on how much you end up betting, and get increasingly lucrative perks the higher you go, including more bonus money, free spins, cashbacks, faster cashouts, birthday bonuses, concierge services, and even customized offers where you can speak with the casino and review how best to maximize your benefits. The VIP levels start from 'New' and you will be able to work yourself up 7 levels including 'Premium' and 'Prestige' right at the end which have the very best offers.

Software Review of Regent Casino

The website of casino Regent is very neatly organized. We're big fans of golden themed casinos in our reviews and the black and gold colour scheme of this site is very pleasing. The site layout has nothing to complain about as all options are easily accessible and worked very well during this review. The library of games here is quite good - slots from all major software developers like Netent, Microgaming, Playtech, PlaynGo, Pragmatic, Evolution and others are present, as are all popular table games like Blackjack and Roulette, a decent selection of live dealer games (blackjack/roulette/baccarat/poker), as well as scratchcards if those tickle your fancy. The average Return to Player rate for the games here is approximately 96-97% which isn't bad but isn't too great either. One drawback of this casino, at the time of writing this review, was that there was no downloadable mobile app - however, the site performed quite well in browsers of mobile-based devices, as games could be played off Flash or HTML5 or any other more recent instant play options.

The website is available in 4 languages - English, German, Finnish and Norwegian. However, customer support is provided in only English. Unfortunately, there is no French language availability which can be a bit of a bummer for some Canadians. A nice feature of this casino is called The Regent Review which provides various reviews of how best to maximize your stay at any online casino - from a guide to blackjack strategy to the best slots, to ways of becoming a high roller VIP. This is not something we come across in too many reviews and is a nice touch in giving tips on good practices for players to follow.

Review of Banking and Support Options at Regent Casino

There are a wide variety of deposit and withdrawal methods available for Canadians. As part of this review, we were able to deposit using Visa/Mastercard, Neteller/Skrill, Paysafe, Maestro and Entropay, although many other options such as Ukash, wire transfer, giropay, Poli, Trustly and many others were available. As a matter of fact, the number of deposit methods here is more than most other reviewed sites. Cashouts can be affected by most deposit methods and the typical timeline for a withdrawal is 2 to 6 days, depending on the mode of withdrawal. Please note that all withdrawals will need players from Canada to be fully verified (i.e. you will need to submit KYC documents). One of the great things about this site, from the point of view of Canadians, is that Canadian Dollars (CAD) is a valid currency for use on the site. The minimum accepted deposit and withdrawal limit is $10.

Customer Support is provided in the form of e-mail, as well as live chat and a UK phone number. However, the latter two features are not available 24/7 (phone and chat support lines are open from 6am to 11pm GMT, and GMT is 4 hours ahead of Canadian time), although the support team seemed quite efficient during this review and were eager to help and solve issues. There's also a detailed FAQ section on the site with a good repository of questions.

Review of Licensing, Security and Player Protection at Regent Casino

This is one of our better-reviewed casinos as far as the safety and security aspects of a casino go. The site is owned by the reputable Aspire Global International Ltd who also operate other established casinos. Regent casino also holds multiple reputed gaming licenses including from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) which makes them a legal online casino for operations in Canada. Data protection is ensured using up-to-date 128 bit SSL encryption technology to ensure that all site and customer information is safe at all times - this technology is standard among all the top casinos that we've reviewed. As part of the reputed Aspire Global Internation, their payment processing is completely safe and all parts of the site are transparent with their operations being audited externally by iTechLabs. Further, their games are tested for fairness and all players are protected against underage gambling or overspending via active responsible gambling policies. All in all, we were very happy with the review of the safety aspects of this site.

Our Overall Review of Regent Casino for Players in Canada

There are a lot of things to like about casino Regent. We found the site to be well designed and this is one of the better laid out casinos we've reviewed. The suite of available games is very nice and the welcome bonus is quite decent with a fair few other bonus options, such as no deposit free spins, tournaments, and other promos also available for Canadians. A convenient feature is that most bonuses don't require special codes to activate and are credited automatically. This is also a perfectly safe and secure place to play at and the banking options are probably one of the best we've reviewed so far. That said, a few niggling issues can be taken care of to make this a top-notch site for Canadians - a wider range of table games (apart from just blackjack and roulette) would be nice, as would a dedicated mobile app, making French available as a language, and making the live chat 24/7. However, these are small issues and overall Regent casino is surely one of the better reviewed online casinos in Canada today.
