Yeti Casino Review

A brand new player on the online casino scene, Yeti Casino was launched in 2017. It is owned and operated by L&L Europe Ltd, a company based out of Malta. There isn’t much detail on this company aside from its address on the Yeti Casino website; I will continue to keep digging to see if they are connected to any other brands.

The good news right out of the gate for those of you considering this casino is that they have been licensed by both Malta and the UK Gambling Commission. To see a brand new casino that has passed the due diligence stage from both these jurisdictions is an excellent sign; hopefully, this gives you a little more comfort knowing they are being overseen by two stringent regulatory bodies.

Another excellent sign from this newcomer to the industry is the selection of a couple industry giants to provide games for this casino offering. Yeti Casino is powered by Net Entertainment, Amatic, and Microgaming. For those of you who have played at casinos using these software vendors in the past, you will know what you are in for: a great selection of games featuring some incredible graphics. I’ll do more of a deep dive into the games later in this review.

You can find Live Dealer Games powered by Evolution Gaming as well at Yeti casino. Evolution is the leaders in Live Dealer software; in fact, these types of games are the only ones they have developed and focused on.

The Yeti Casino can be played either through a downloadable client (Microgaming only) or via the more popular Instant Play mode through your PC browser. The company is also very proud to tell you that their site has been formatted to be easy to access and play via mobile devices; that is a good thing to offer as these days so many people are ditching their laptops in favor of tablets and phones.

I like the look and feel of the site (bright colors, not too many graphics being thrown at me), and the navigation is straightforward. I can easily find what I am looking for, whether it be the list of games or the promotions that are being offered. These days, companies can over-complicate their website; having too much content that isn’t well organized can be a deterrent to a lot of players.

Being a licensee of both Net Entertainment and Microgaming means that players at Yeti casino are going to have access to both company’s set of progressive jackpot games. While I am not a slots player by nature, I do enjoy giving these games a shot. The concept of winning a multi-million dollar prize for the spin of the reels is almost too much to walk away from. You will find progressives of all sizes at Yeti, giving you lots of chances to enhance your experience with a huge win!

Now, let me be clear here: it isn’t the fact that the casino has a scrolling banner with a list of recent winners. There needs to be a limit to who gets on the banner, however. When I glanced at is, I saw players who had won $3.00 on games; maybe that is just to make everyone feel special, but if it were me I would save this valuable real estate for bigger winners so new players can see what prizes are being claimed.

I typically am on guard when I review a new casino; without having any real feedback from long-time players, it is hard to say how trustworthy a site is going to be. Having the two licenses goes a long way to making me feel better about the situation, but my radar is going to be on for the next few months looking for any trouble signs that may affect my review and recommendation.

Now that you have seen all the great options from a playing perspective, it is time to have a look at the offers the casino gives you to entice you to become a real money player, and don’t forget to check Yeti Casino’s bonus terms and conditions too!

I always start my promotions review with the Welcome Bonus because, well, it is the first bonus you are likely to use at the casino. Also, this is usually the most aggressive of the offers; once a casino gets you to make a deposit, they can focus their attention on your loyalty via a different set of promotions. Here is how the Welcome Bonus works at Yeti Casino:

100% Match Bonus on your first deposit to a maximum of $333, plus up to 100 Free Spins on Starburst.

This is a competitive offer when looking at it versus other casinos out there. I like the fact that they give you all the Free Spins as well as the match bonus; changing it up a bit gives the player a little more sense of value when accepting the offer. The bonus comes with a rollover of 40x, which is in the middle of the range we have seen in the industry.

I like this promotion for many reasons. First of all, they are not limiting your cashback, like they do in some other casinos I have reviewed. Second, this promotion runs on Saturday, which is probably one of their busiest days. Many times, these promos can be buried on a weekday to limit the casino’s exposure.  Finally, I like that I can use this promotion as an insurance policy; of course, I don’t ever plan on having a losing session, but at the very least knowing I can get some of my money back means I can be a little more aggressive in my betting style.

Having licenses with the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority means that the financials of Yeti Casino are being monitored with regularity. To that end, the casino has been able to acquire contracts with many of the top payment processors, meaning you should have no trouble at all getting your money to or from the site.

There does not seem to be any information on the comp program at Yeti Casino. I am very hopeful that this is just an oversight on the part of the web developers, because if there is actually no comp program, then I will be very disappointed. A good comp program is a factor in the calculation of profitability for a player online; not having access to that little extra bonus could mean the difference between winning and losing sessions.

Now, I did find out that there is a VIP Program in place at Yeti. That, however, is all I can tell you about it because there is virtually no information on it anywhere. What I do know is that the program is by invitation only; this is frustrating as players like to know what they have to do to qualify for tiers in a loyalty program, so they have something to shoot for. Also, there is no indication of what being a VIP means; there should be a list of rewards available to you. I have asked the casino for more information on this, and when I get some feedback, I will be sure to pass it along.

There are many ways to get a hold of this casino if you ever need them. For me, the easiest and fastest way to get a hold of the casino is via Live Chat; having someone in real time typing away gives me the comfort that my issue is going to be dealt with in short order. You can also reach the casino via email and telephone; you should be aware that these agents are not available 24/7 at this time, so if you have a problem in the middle of the night you will likely have to wait until morning to have it resolved.

I am really torn when it comes to answering this question. Normally, I would give a new casino a while to settle in before I would recommend playing with them. However, in the case of Yeti Casino, the fact that they have licenses from the UK and Malta to go along with several high-value software partnerships leans me in the direction of recommending them to you. It is disappointing to not have more information on any VIP or Comp Programs, but if that isn’t a concern for you then I would say your money will be safe with these guys, meaning you can end your search for the Yeti and get back to focusing on winning some big jackpots!!
