Springbok Casino Review for 2024

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information about the owners of this casino. From what I was able to determine, Springbok Casino is owned by a company called Springbok Group, who also own and operate Thunderbolt Casino. This doesn’t give me a great feeling; I usually like to see information about a casino on their website, even if it is generally some sort of shell game of corporations. There isn’t an About Us page on the Springbok website.

The casino has been in business since 2012; this is a good sign, as many casinos never hit the 5-year mark. So, even if we don’t know a ton about the owners, we do know that they have been able to keep this casino operational with minimal complaints for half a decade. The Group has a license from Curacao; this isn’t exactly the most impressive gaming license to hold, but at the very least there is some measure of control that the owners have to abide by to keep that license.

Springbok Casino uses Real Time Gaming as its only provider of games. Those of you who know RTG probably know that they are more focused on operators that still accept U.S. wagers; however, they aren’t one to turn away a good potential licensee, and in recent years they have had a shift of focus to other markets as well.

The RTG games have been developed over the last twenty years; with that kind of experience, you know that their team has learned what works and what doesn’t in an online casino. While there aren’t the same sheer number of games available at RTG casinos, the games they do offer feature great gameplay and graphics.

The Springbok casino is available to play via three methods. If you like, you can download a casino client to your PC and have direct access to the games locally on your machine. You also have the option of playing their games instantly through your browser. Recently, RTG has worked on making their games compatible with mobile devices; they aren’t all there yet, but each month there is a new release with more games converted so you can enjoy them on your phones or tablets.

I am not a big slots player; I find the game boring at times unless there are good bonus levels and such. So when I come across a site that offers slots tournaments, I become far more engaged. The folks at Springbok take advantage of the RTG tournament functionality to have over a dozen events in their lobby. Each event has a specific buy-in, and range in length from one day to one week. You can see the full list on their Tournaments page.

While RTG Casinos don’t have as many different progressive games as some of their competitors, the ones they do offer grow quickly and generate lots of winners. At Springbok Casino, you will find all the RTG network progressives, including one with a jackpot hovering in the seven-figure range!

These days, the Live Dealer games offered by casinos are some of the most played. So many casinos have added them to their lobby; it is strange that Springbok has chosen not to follow suit. While in some instances, it isn’t easy to integrate a Live Dealer piece into their casino backend for reporting purposes, but Real Time Gaming has already established a relationship with a Live Dealer provider to give their licensees seamless access to those games. Perhaps it is just a matter of time before they add them to the Springbok lobby; I sure hope so because I love to play the Live Dealer games!

If you play online casinos, you are usually used to playing in U.S. Dollars or Euro as a currency. At Springbok Casino, because they are trying to attract players from South Africa, everything on their site is in that local currency, the Rand. That means you will need to convert everything to your currency to understand all the different promotions and bet amounts. If you are playing from a different country, that can be a little bit cumbersome. I totally get why Springbok does this, so just be aware that you will have another hoop to jump through if you want to stick it out with them.

There are a lot of different promotions listed on the Springbok website. Many of these are straightforward deposit promotions, which are always useful for increasing your bankroll. Let’s have a look at a few of them in detail here:

All of this information about the casino software, games and promotions are lovely, but only useful if there is an easy way for you to get your money to the site. Springbok has several deposit and withdrawal options available; as always, these may range based on where you live, so you should confirm directly with the cashier section of the casino to see what works best for you.

Springbok Casino allows you to earn Comp points when you play their real money games. The program is similar to most of the RTG licensees: for every R10 you wager on games, you will receive on Comp point. These points can be redeemed in batches of 100, with players receiving R1 for every 100 cashed in. I always recommend that players cash in their Comps as soon as they reach the threshold; that money is better served in your account playing the games than in a points balance.

As best as I can determine, there is no VIP Program information to be found at Springbok Casino. There is a reference to VIP in their Terms and Conditions, which leads me to believe that they have a private VIP program. If you are a high-stakes gambler or perhaps have had significant losses, you should expect to hear from the casino offering you a chance to be a VIP.

With a site that is targeting South African players, you would assume that the Customer Service department would be skewed towards that demographic. Fortunately, Springbok recognizes that they may attract players from other areas, so their Customer Service is available 24/7. On the bottom of their web pages is a link to their Live Chat service; I always choose this option as a first opportunity to contact the casino. Their agent responded very quickly when I opened the window…I didn’t actually have a question at the time, so it was a bit of a waste of their time.

You can also reach the casino via telephone (toll-free if you are living in South Africa) or via their support email address.

This was a more challenging question to answer than I usually face when writing my reviews. For all intents and purposes, this is just a typical Real Time Gaming casino; you will see all their great games, and unless you live in a restricted country, you will be able to create a real money account and start playing the games. If you are the type of player that thrives on promotions and VIP status, then I don’t think this is the right place for you. If, however, you just want to get into playing your favorite games and want to be able to access them through download or browser, then Springbok will meet your needs.

Overall, I would say this is a middle-of-the-pack casino. It isn’t the best I have ever seen, but it also isn’t the most disappointing.
