Yeti Casino Review

A Yeti is a larger than average human. The Yeti Casino is a 2018 addition to
the online casino world and doesn’t offer a larger than average gaming area, but
it does provide great gaming along with some of the fastest payout approvals out
there today. Slots, video poker, specialty, table games, and a live casino
combined with 24-hour payment approvals as well as a first rate website provides
a better than average first impression.

The Breakdown

Overall

There’s a lot of potential with this casino. It has the right games, a great
banking system in place, and one of the more user-friendly websites that we’ve
seen. With a few alternative types of promotions added and a boost to the mobile
casino, it should be an excellent service for a wide variety of casino players.

Game Variety

We’d like to give two ratings in this category as the range on the full site
is quite different than that of the mobile casino. On a Mac or PC, you have a
series of gaming options that cover the gamut and include video poker and some
specialty games that aren’t that common. The mobile casino narrows down the
focus to slots, live casino, and hosts just six table games as well, so the
assortment is lacking.

Banking

Plenty of transfer options, no charges assessed toward deposits or
withdrawals, and a one-day approval turnaround makes for a good service for
players regardless of their location. The one thing that is lacking is a Bitcoin
option, and we couldn’t access the deposit page as the link directed us to the
withdrawal page instead.

Bonuses

There’s nothing special in the bonus arena. The welcome offer is standard and
reload bonuses are ho hum. We’d like to see some fun promotions that are
exciting for players like tournaments or contests based on their game play or
through random pop ups. Although a 40 times rollover isn’t great, it’s not the
highest as it applies to the bonus reward amount only.

Customer Service

We have nothing to judge customer service on as yet. There hasn’t been enough
feedback provided by players to give us an accurate assessment. However,
customer service agents are multilingual, and phone, email and live chat are all
available.

Mobile Casino

The mobile website is a quality translation of the bigger version. It’s
eye-catching and offers all of the functions that a user on the move would need.
But, the absence of entire categories of games prompted us to lower the rating
here.

Overview of Yeti Casino

A Relative Newcomer

Yeti is owned and operated by L & L Europe Limited Casinos, an online
entertainment company with a dozen gaming sites, all with different premises and
targeting particular clientele. It’s a relatively new organization having just
launched in 2011, but it has made a great impression with devoted online players
who, for the most part, give high ratings to all of the sites. Yeti, having
launched in May of 2017, is licensed by both the
Malta Gaming Authority and the
UK Gambling Commission, and we especially like the full disclosure that Yeti
and L & L as a whole offer to its customers. There’s no hidden ownership
information. It’s prominently displayed along with the licensing and regulation
on the homepage, and you can even link to the
L & L company
website, something that’s not very common with online gaming sites.

The United States Is One of the Exclusions

Yeti is an international service and translates the website into English,
German, Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish, but there are a handful of excluded
locations including:

A Yeti Would Be Welcome

Don’t get us wrong here; the website is top-notch. It’s well designed with
large graphics and plenty of information. It’s obvious that this company learned
from the path that its competitors paved and put together a lot of beneficial
material for players with introductory information and details on bonuses,
withdrawals, and all of the services provided. However, the Yeti Casino, with
its very cool logo should be the “Yeti” casino. It would be fun and unusual to
see an obscure theme carried through rather than just a cartoon character placed
wherever a graphic is needed. Our wheels are spinning with ideas when we look at
the awesome logo but then the site design just falls flat, and it could be
something extraordinary.

High-Low

The number one attribute of this casino is the fast payouts. It’s a big draw
to potential players to be able to receive their winnings quickly instead of
camping out by their mailbox for weeks hoping to see their check appear. We’ve
recently looked at some sites that offered a five-day internal approval before
anything even was approved for transfer, so seeing a 24-hour turnaround on
payments is refreshing. It’s a wise decision for a new casino to provide what
players are looking for the most.

Not Just One…

Not only was it a good decision to expedite payouts, but it’s also appealing
to players to offer more than one company’s software. Blending some of the top
companies like NetEnt and Microgaming opens up the service to far more players
as regular online slot players, especially, have their favorites. Some of the
more well-known titles like Mega Moolah, Jurassic World, and Bridesmaids can be
found as well as hundreds of other top choices.

One Little Navigational Error

We do feel that Yeti warrants our compliments so far, but there is one thing
that we found to be frustrating about the website and that’s getting to the
gaming. If you’re on the homepage, you don’t have a problem, but there isn’t a
primary gaming menu including the different areas like slots, table games, etc.
that’s prominently placed on other pages. It’s hidden in a small drop down box,
or you can go back to the homepage and start again. When you’re on a non-gaming
page like promotions, you can’t go directly to the games either. The only way to
get there is to get back to square one.

Bonuses & Promotions

There isn’t an overabundance of bonus reward opportunities but the casino
provides a welcome bonus, and some reload awards. The new player offer does
include free spins as well as a deposit match for additional value.

It carries a 40 times rollover on deposit matches but, fortunately, they only
apply to the bonus amount only and don’t factor in the cash transferred into the
betting account.

Financial Options

One of the best features of the casino is the banking structure. Not only are
transactions free, but payouts are processed within 24 hours. When you compare
that to some casinos that can drag it out for days, it’s a huge benefit to be
able to get money in hand so quickly. It’s also a multi-currency casino, so
players aren’t limited to the Euro.

Deposits

Withdrawals

Although there is a 24-hour turnaround for the internal approvals, the
financial provider may take longer to process the transaction. For pooled
jackpots of €50,000 or more, there is a 30-day turnaround window.

The Casino

Before we even get to what’s in the casino, let’s talk about the casino
itself. The site is apparently designed for easy translation to a mobile format.
The graphic cards depicting the individual games are huge. They’re easy to read
and review, and they stay that way, even on smartphones and tablets.

The games will vary depending on location and license as there are a few
different software companies used to build up the gaming area and NetEnt, for
one, is not registered for use in every country.

Game Variety

Game variety on the full site or mobile? It makes a
difference. The primary website has a great assortment of fun games including a
22 title specialty game area with some exciting offerings. 42 table games are
also a good size compared to the overall library count but, only six table games
pop up on mobile, and specialty and video poker are both notably absent. So,
whereas the PC or Mac version gets two thumbs up on variety, the mobile casino
is comparatively lacking.

Audio and Video Quality

This is a top-notch online gambling product.
The graphics are immense and featured in high resolution, and every page is fast
loading. It can be frustrating to review all of the options on some competitor
sites due to the lag time, but it’s speedy with Yeti.

Software

NetEnt, Amatic, Microgaming, Evolution Gaming

Mobile Casino

There are 210 gaming options for players on the go, so nearly
one-half of the total collection can be found in any format. The mobile casino
is attractive and easy to navigate, but it lacks in some of the categories.
You’ll find plenty of slot games and nearly the full live casino suite, but
everything else pales in comparison to the regular website. There are no video
poker or specialty games, only six out of 42 tables appear, and less than half
of the progressive jackpots are hosted on the small screen.

Slots: 331 (189 on mobile)

Slot games are broken down into the newer video slots that have more
recognizable titles, and everything else is hosted in the generic “slots”
designation.

The linked jackpot versions do appear in their own section so those dedicated
players can locate them quickly. Players from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, India,
Japan, Malaysia, Qatar, Thailand, Tunisia, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates
are restricted from playing the jackpot slots.

Video Slots: 276 (170 on mobile)

• Creature from the Black Lagoon
• Dracula
• Emoji Planet
• Jimi Hendrix
• Game of Thrones – 243 ways
• The Funky Seventies
• Fairytale Legends – Red Riding Hood
• Jurassic World
• Thunderstruck II
• Zombies

Slots: 55 (19 on mobile)

• Couch Potato
• Fire and Ice
• Golden Dragon
• Hot 27
• Jackpot 6000
• Jurassic Jackpot
• Super Nudge 6000
• Triple Magic
• Wild Stars
• Zany Zebra

Jackpot Progressives: 14 (six on mobile)

The amounts listed are the current ones at the time of this review and
regularly update (in both directions).

• Arabian Nights: €374,980
• Divine Fortune: €182,394
• Hall of Gods: €3,416,914
• Major Millions: €254,055
• Mega Fortune: €757,166
• Mega Moolah: €6,163,102
• Mega Moolah Isis: same jackpot as Mega Moolah
• Super Lucky Frog: €17,887
• Treasure Nile: €39,977
• Tunzamunni: €92,003

Video Poker: 19 (not available on mobile)

Nothing is outstanding about the video poker section. It carries the most
basic games with no interesting twists.

• Aces and Eights
• Aces and Faces
• All Aces
• All American Multi Hand
• Bonus Poker Poker
• Deuces Wild Double Up
• Double Bonus
• Jacks or Better Double Up
• Joker Wild Double Up
• Tens or Better

Specialty Games (aka Other Games): 22 (not available on mobile)

Where the video poker area is rather bland, the specialty games area is quite
the opposite. There are some fun and unique games that are all over the board.

• Bubble Bonanza
• Cashapillar
• Crown and Anchor
• Electro Bingo
• Four by Four
• Pharoah Bingo
• Max Damage and the Alien Attack
• Samba Bingo
• Spingo
• Triangulation

Table Games: 42 (six available on mobile)

It’s surprising that such a packed table area would not transfer over better
to mobile devices. Only six games can be played on smartphones and tablets, but
the 42 available on the full site cover all the bases and then some.

• Baccarat Pro Low or High Limit
• Double Xposure
• Blackjack Single Deck
• Caribbean Stud Poker
• Casino Hold ’em
• Oasis Poker Pro
• Pontoon Pro
• Punto Banco
• Red Dog
• French Roulette

The Live Casino: 19 (15 on mobile)

There may only be six table games in the mobile casino, but nearly the entire
live dealer suite does translate to the smaller screen. The games are by
Evolution Gaming, one of the premiere live casino providers.

• Common Draw Blackjack: €1 to €5,000
• Live Auto Roulette: regular limit
• Live Baccarat: regular limit
• Live Blackjack VIP: high limit
• Live Caribbean Stud Poker: regular limit
• Live Casino Hold ’em: regular limit
• Live French Roulette Gold: high limit
• Live Immersive Roulette: regular limit
• Live Roulette: €1 to €75,000
• VIP Live Blackjack: €25 to €5,000

Customer Service

• Contact Email: [email protected]
• Contact International Phone: +356 2033 0961
• Live Chat: available 24/7

We mentioned that the site could be translated into English, German,
Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish and customer service is available in those
languages as well. The site does promote the multi-lingual agents, but it also
says that they may not be available every hour of the day. It’s still a benefit
to having a customer service department that you can communicate easily with so
it’s probably best to stick to peak hours if you have a real issue that needs
proper attention.

Summary

This casino is too new to get proper player feedback to share as we always
look for extended patterns that are similar and not one-off comments. We will
say that L & L’s other holdings are typically highly regarded so we would expect
that Yeti would be as well. The service is a trickle down from the top, so
sister sites usually provide similar impressions.

Based on what we’ve seen, the website is well designed and thoroughly planned
out to cover the main things that players are looking for in an internet casino
like the fast payouts.

Starting with the site itself, the theme left us somewhat hanging, but the
overall look is just fine. It’s simple, easy to read, has large impressive
graphics and uses the latest in technology. We especially like the detailed
information that’s right up front. You know who owns and manages the site,
licensing is provided, some of the payment companies have logo representations
as well as the software providers, although we didn’t spot Microgaming for some
reason.

If you click on the ownership logo, you are taken to the main company
website.

There’s plenty of introductory and explanatory information about the site,
the banking, and the promotions, and customer service can be reached by email,
phone or live chat, so everything seems to be covered.

Getting into the bonus realm, there’s nothing exciting and new being offered.
It’s a standard welcome bonus match reward that has some free spins attached.
The rollover of 40 seems high, but it’s also on the bonus amount only. Some
casinos get sneaky and have something like a 25 or 30 times rollover, making it
seem less, but then they apply it to the deposit as well so you’re basically
doubling the requirement at that point. So, a 40 on the bonus is like a 20 on
both.

The reload bonuses change weekly and also have the same 40 times play through
requirement, but that’s the extent of the promotions.

We didn’t see a loyalty program promoted as yet, but we would assume that one
would be on the way as VIP programs are fairly standard on all casino sites.

At least if this casino is true to its
word. It promotes 24-hour payment approvals so players will be expecting those
fast turnarounds. As far as the financial program, on the whole, it’s structured
well with plenty of payment options and a low minimum transfer of just €20 and a
relatively generous €5,000 per day allowance. Well, that is, if you have €5,000
in your account.

Another thing to attribute to the early days of this site is that the deposit
page links to the withdrawal page and the withdrawal link also goes there, so
you don’t have access to the full deposit information without registering. We
would assume that it will be fixed shortly along with a few typos along the way,
but nothing major for a brand new service.

Let’s talk about the gaming, the real focus of the service. Similar to all L
L sites, Yeti uses NetEnt, Microgaming, Amatic, and Evolution Gaming to put
together its casino and live casino areas. In our opinion, it’s always a wise
choice to use more than one software provider as multiple companies allow for
both a bigger and a more diverse gaming experience. The full PC or Mac version
of the casino is just fine for most people. There are plenty of slot and table
games, video poker basics are covered, and the specialty game area is a fun
addition.

We’re not as complimentary of the mobile casino collection, though. There is
nothing wrong with the number of options as a 200 game collection for
smartphones and tablets is enough to suffice, but it’s missing some key areas
like video poker and specialty games. We were also really surprised to see a 42
game table area whittle down to just six on our Android device.

All in all, the casino offers plenty for players in the acceptable regions.
If it stays true to its word with payouts, provides excellent customer service,
and expands the mobile product, it should turn out to be a real winner.

Verdict

The Yeti Casino is a straightforward gambling site that gets right to the
heart of the matter – the gaming. Using the best of the NetEnt, Microgaming,
Amatic, and Evolution collections, coupled with 24-hour payout approvals, and an
appealing, user-friendly site, Yeti’s inaugural appearance is a positive one.
It’s probably not for those big bonus seekers as the promotional program is
rather basic with just a welcome and a reload offer. Some mobile players may not
find all of their favorites as they can’t select any video poker or specialty
games, and are limited in tables, but low deposit and withdrawal minimums should
open up the service to anyone who’s interested in at least giving it a spin.
