Roxy Palace Casino Review

Roxy Palace has been a member of the online casino community since 2002 but ownership changes in the last few years have increased the level of player satisfaction significantly. It’s a Microgaming only casino and live casino featuring some of the best progressive jackpot slots around. No US players are allowed, but other international customers are welcome and can benefit from fee-free deposits and withdrawals with a 48-hour payment approval window. There aren’t a huge number of advertised promotions, but their Roxy Rewards program provides players with something new every day.

Deposit Methods

The Breakdown

Overall

Roxy Palace is a good overall casino. It’s not over the top in any particular area and, if you’re a fan of Microgaming’s catalog, you’ll be pleased with what you’ll find here. It’s 100% Microgaming and offers some of the best progressive jackpot slots around.

Game Variety

This is the one area that’s lacking on this site, but the absence of variety wouldn’t affect all players. There are plenty of slot games including progressive jackpots in all denominations. There are also many of the most popular table games although Poker and Baccarat can only be played in the live casino. The video poker section doesn’t appear for instant play on the full site, but it does on smartphones and tablets. There aren’t any specialty games like keno, bingo, or scratch cards, though.

Banking

Although there are plenty of deposit methods from which players can select, there are very few withdrawal options. The $20 minimum for any transaction is relatively small, so that is a benefit to players, but there’s also a 48-hour internal approval process and, these days, that is on the high end as newer sites are now offering approvals within a few hours.

Bonuses

We give high marks here primarily for the Roxy Rewards program that provides players with daily offers that are always changing. It’s a nice benefit as it’s fun to see what pops up each day and there are more than just deposit match offers featured through the promotion.

Customer Support

Regular players have left very complimentary feedback regarding the customer service department and their satisfaction level. Of course, not everyone has the same opinion, but it overwhelmingly leans toward quality customer service perception.

Mobile Casino

About half of the games are available in the mobile casino, and we even found more games, like video poker, that wasn’t on the full site. The only reason we take off a half star rating is that we couldn’t access the live casino when we tried to pull it up. We’re not too harsh, though, as it could have just been a one off. We haven’t seen any complaints about the mobile casino posted from players.

Overview of RoxyPalace.com

An Ownership Change… And Then Another

Roxy Palace was launched in 2002 but was acquired by 32Red in 2015. 32Red is a well-respected UK-based ownership group that participated in Premier League sponsorships as well as being an authorized betting partner of British Racing. It purchased Roxy Palace for £8.4 million, but just this summer, though, 32Red had an acquisition of a different sort, as it’s now part of the Kindred Group.

The Kindred Group was formerly called the Unibet Group and does have Unibet as well as Bingo.com, Stan James, and 32Red. It became part of Stockholm’s NASDAQ in 2014 and was the first group to offer BankID in its Swedish markets. BankID provides for enhanced safety and player verification.

Additionally, the Kindred Group was the first operator to meet the requirements of the EU Recommendation on Consumer Protection through an external audit that verified responsible gaming practices, adherence to advertising and sponsorship regulations, and transparency with all pertinent information that players would need to know. As far as any hesitation in joining because you’re not sure if your money is safe or gaming is fair, the Kindred Group’s track record should alleviate those concerns.

No US Players

Players from the United States are strictly prohibited from registering, and the terms and conditions also state that it’s up to the individual player to know their local laws and regulations. If online gambling isn’t allowed in your location, you cannot even open an account on roxypalace.com.

If you are a resident of any of the following countries you will be unable to register.

20/20 Banking

There aren’t a lot of rules and regulations regarding financial transfers in and out of player accounts, but there is an imposed minimum of 20 in both directions (deposits and withdrawals). Transactions don’t have additional fees attached, and the internal process is 48 hours before the request reaches the bank or payment processing company.

The Palace Isn’t over the Top

You wouldn’t necessarily say that there’s a theme that accompanies Roxy Palace. It’s a simple, well-designed site in blue, purple, and white. There isn’t any mascot, themed introduction, or verbiage that sets the stage. It’s just a site that offers a good Microgaming casino experience.

Mega Moolah, Cash Splash, Major Millions…

You know the names if you’re already a jackpot player. Microgaming provides for many of the big money potential slot games that many people look for when they decide on a casino. There are 15 progressive jackpot options including Tuzamunni with its nickel (5p) opportunities as well as Jackpot Deuces for anyone that prefers video poker to slots.

Bonuses & Promotions

Before we get into the bonus details, we just want to provide a heads up on some of the terms and conditions. If you’re familiar with online casino offers, you know that the stipulations are strict and need to be 100% adhered to or you could lose out on some or all of your winnings.

Deposit match rewards come with a 50 times rollover on the bonus amount only. While you’re working to meet the requirement, you can’t wager more than 6.25 chips at a time. You also need to keep in mind that Slots will contribute fully toward achieving your play through. But all table pokers, all roulette, all video and power pokers (except All Aces and Jacks or Better), and all Blackjack (except Classic and Casino War) only come in at 10% and everything else provides nothing toward your goal.

Two-part Welcome Bonus good for up to £350

The welcome bonus provides for a bigger percentage match right up front but a second deposit bonus also adds value for players who enjoy these types of offers so they can extend their playing time. The rollover on this site is 50 times, and it applies to the bonus amount only. So, if the bonus award was £100, wagering needs to be £5,000 in total to withdraw anything.

The Welcome Bonus Breakdown

• 1st Deposit: 100% match up to £150
• 2nd Deposit: 50% match up to £200

Just to clarify, to take advantage of the highest match for the 2nd part of the award, you would need to deposit £400 and then, with the 50%, you’d end up with £200.

Free Money Giveaways

Just a heads up that this does not show up in the Promotions tab, but there is a link to the information at the bottom of the homepage. On Monday and Thursday, some Roxy players receive random free money awards. You need to log in and check your offers area to see if you’re one of them.

Live Roulette Bonus Boost

This is another offer that’s not included when you click the Promotions tab, but we did find it on the mobile site. You have to opt-in, and then you get a 10% bump up to $100 whether you win or lose.

Roxy Rewards

There’s no need to register anything separately with Roxy Rewards; all players become a part of the promotion. Whenever players log in, they can check for current offers by clicking on the gift icon on the top right of the screen.

Rewards include free spins, reload bonus, and other one-off promotions but loyal players have commented on the program and how it has provided them with more benefits as there are typically both a daily reward and an instant deposit match bonus offer.

The Players Club

This one is different from the Roxy Rewards program as it’s a loyalty program based on leveling up through the tiers.

Blue, Silver, Gold, and then Platinum but, what you’re shooting for is the VIP level. It’s by invitation only and, once you’re in, you’re in, there are no downgrades. VIPs get a dedicated Account Manager and support number as well as their own custom promotional calendar, free entries into slot tournaments, a first look at the new games to arrive, and the highest amount of bonuses and specials available.

Banking and Casino Credits

Roxy Palace has a system whereby they convert all financial transfers into casino credits for betting purposes. If you go on the site and review the info, you’ll see mention of deposits converted to casino credits and cashing out of these credits.

Converting Cash into Credits

Cashing out the Credits

Before the payment even reaches the bank or payment processor, there’s a 48-hour internal approval that’s only conducted during the week, so payout requests initiated on the weekend are delayed until Monday.

The Casino

Roxypalace.com can be used as either a downloadable casino or a Flash instant play experience. The casino boasts an average payout rate of 96% and slots are the focal point as most of Microgaming’s latest and greatest versions are housed here.

We’re going to focus on the instant play version. These are the games you’ll see if you access the website and just start betting without downloading anything on to your computer.

Game Variety

If you go into the various rooms that appear in the menu like the slots or live casino area, you will find a good assortment of each category. For example, slot games do have a wide variety of themes, denominations, and game features. However, if you look at the casino as a whole, you won’t find bingo, scratch cards, or other specialty games. There isn’t a video poker section on the full site, but the mobile casino does list a poker area.

Audio and video quality: Overall, the site has a good, modern feel to it, but Microgaming does provide some of the best video slot experiences around, whether you’re on mobile, Mac, or PC. You’ll find crisp graphics, fast loading games, and easy betting interaction.

Mobile Casino

167 games show up on smartphones and tablets, so it’s just under half of the full collection. The mobile version is set up a bit differently, though. It has a poker section but no designated “high limit” area. There are only four out of 15 of the jackpot progressives, but they do include the biggies, Mega Moolah, Major Millions, Cash Splash, and Treasure Nile. We were unable to pull up the live casino on an Android device when we looked through roxypalace.com on our smartphone.

Summary

We’re trying to think of some clever things to add here to highlight the standout features of Roxy Palace really, but there aren’t any. It’s a good, all around casino that also has a small live casino as well. The games are all Microgaming, so there isn’t any real wow factor with some new boutique software companies, but these are some of the most sought out games by regular online players.

There isn’t really anything that detracts from the service here. It’s just a website that doesn’t distract with a huge menu of promotions and bonuses or has any themed activities always being promoted to players. You’ll see some newer sites come up with a catch – a virtual casino or a retro style or go over the top with an enormous, massive list of gaming options.

Roxypalace.com is more for traditional casino players. It offers a welcome bonus and doesn’t confuse players with long menus of different reload bonuses and offers that come with individual rollover stipulations and hoops to jump through to be able actually to convert them to cash. Instead, it relies on its daily Roxy Rewards program to entice members to return again and again.

It’s a nice touch to have those daily reward offerings, as there may be individual offers appealing to some players and the others for another group. At least it’s not a standard menu, take it or leave it kind of thing.

The site is available in seven languages with banking in seven currencies and is for players around the globe. In which case, keeping a simpler, more streamlined service certainly fits the bill here.

Verdict

You won’t find a lot of bells and whistles on this website, but if you’re more of a traditional casino player and don’t want a lot of distractions but do want a top-notch website, a welcome bonus, and ever changing daily rewards, you’ll be pleased.

It’s a good, straightforward casino that offers an excellent collection of Microgaming slots and table games. There aren’t any specialty games but there is a live casino, and payouts are approved within 48 hours with no fees attached to them.
