Overview
Definitely an interesting casino, this Bons Casino Review reveals lots of unique casino features you won’t get elsewhere, like detailed game filtering, split view gameplay, monthly achievements, the bonus shop, and more! They don’t appear as a very modern or highly developed casino at first, but don’t let first appearances fool you. Unlike many copy-paste casinos, Bons Casino screams uniqueness, which is a very valuable thing to look for in a crypto casino.
I believe that with a new look, Bons could rival even the best of crypto casinos, and I’m eager to see where the road takes them.
Established in 2019, Bons Casino is licensed and regulated by the government of Curacao.
Pros
- Games from more than 70 game providers
- Exclusive free spins bonus
Cons
- Deposit must be wagered at least 3x

The welcome package amount could be higher (the best casinos offer at least 1 BTC).
Welcome Bonus Free Spins

Regular Weekly Free Spins
There are very few weekly free spins (most casinos offer at least 100).
Wagering Requirements
Wagering requirements could be lower (the best casinos require 20x wagering (on bonus) or less).
* Average wagering requirements across all regular bonuses are taken into account.
As you will see throughout this Bons Casino Review, Bons does a lot of things uniquely, or at least very thoroughly, something you rarely see in online casinos. They offer bonuses, tournaments, lottery, achievements, and even a bonus shop!
Before we delve in, a small heads up: since Bons has so many different promotions, it can become a bit confusing finding them all and getting your head around where what is.
In your account, under Promotions, you will find currently available bonuses under Gifts, achievements, and the Bonus Shop. In the side menu, there are all available bonuses under Promotions, tournaments, contests, lottery, and, once again, a link to achievements. And lastly, in the site's footer, there is a link to the loyalty program with some other promotions.
Welcome Bonuses
If you're after no deposit bonuses, sadly, they don't come as a part of the welcome package, although Bons Casino does use them. They are available by getting achievements, something I will explain along the way.
There are 3 different first deposit options depending on your deposit amount, and you can couple any of them with additional free spins, free bets, or live roulette vouchers.
Interestingly enough, the less you deposit, the higher the bonus percentage. I'm used to seeing this the other way around. However, the wagering applies to bonus+deposit amount, meaning the higher the percentage, the more you have to wager.
There are the first deposit options:
- 500% up to $500 + 200 free spins, wagering 35x on bonus+deposit and 20x on free spins, $50 min. deposit
- 250% up to $750 + 200 free spins, wagering 30x on bonus+deposit and 20x on free spins, $250 min. deposit
- 100% up to $5,000 + 200 free spins, wagering 25x on bonus+deposit and 20x on free spins, $750 min. deposit
I already wrote 200 free spins next to all three options, but this is already one of the additional bonuses you can use along with the first deposit. These are all the additional options:
- Exclusive 50 free spins with 20x wagering and 10 € min. deposit (bonus code: Gamblineers)
- 200 free spins with 20x wagering and 20 € min. deposit
- 10 € free sports bet with 20x wagering and 20 € min. deposit
- 10 € live roulette voucher with 20x wagering and 20 € min. deposit
All these options can be used either as an independent bonus or as an addition to a match bonus, like the first deposit or the Friday reload. Each can only be used once and has an expiry date. But apart from the exclusive 50 free spins, which expire in 3 days, all others are valid for an entire year.
The wagering requirement on all additional options applies to winnings, so the conditions here are better.
The deposit page in Bons Casino displays all these options nicely, along with all the details, so you know what to choose.
Obviously, the best first deposit option is the 500% + 200 free spins. I doubt you will be able to find many 500% bonuses, and 200 free spins isn't a low number either. Sadly, 35x wagering on bonus+deposit is very high, so this is the only thing that would make me think twice. If you're looking for high bonuses AND low wagering, I suggest paying a visit to Coins.Game Review and FortuneJack Review.
The other welcome bonuses follow in this order:
- Second deposit: 100% up to $500, wagering 25x on bonus+deposit, $100 min. deposit
- Third deposit: 75% up to $1,000, wagering 25x on bonus+deposit, $100 min. deposit
- Fourth deposit: 50% up to $1,500, wagering 20x on bonus+deposit, $50 min. deposit
- Fifth deposit: 25% up to $2,000, wagering 15x on bonus+deposit, $50 min. deposit
The wagering here becomes normal, or even low, from the fourth deposit bonus onward. However, so do the percentages. Overall, the welcome package isn't among the highest you can get, nor with the best conditions. The option to couple spins, free bets, and vouchers wherever you like, though, is nice.
Regular Player Promotions
Bons Casino has so many regular bonuses and promotions that I didn't know where to even begin. In fact, they can easily rival even the best in this category, Stake.com, which is known for its numerous tournaments.
Let's start with bonuses.
There is a 50% up to $500 Friday reload with 15x wagering on bonus+deposit, and $10 min. deposit. This is an average reload bonus but with very nice wagering requirements!
Then there are two loyalty bonuses, but you can use both as a new player. A weekly cashback and a rakeback.
The weekly cashback goes up to 20% with no wagering for the top loyalty levels. First-level players get 10% with 6x wagering, and you must deposit the cashback amount before being eligible for a claim.
The rakeback is called a 'rebate' in Bons and goes up to 0.25% with no wagering for the top levels. At level 1, you get 0.05% with 6x wagering. This is the percentage you get for playing slot games. For sports betting, you get 5 times more, for live casino 10 times less, and for non-live table games, you get 20 times less.
Even at the highest levels, this rakeback isn't high. For example, the best rakeback bonus we have is 10% for all players without wagering from Stake.com Casino.
Tournaments, Contests & Lottery
Bons Casino offers a daily tournament, 6 weekly tournaments, 1 monthly tournament, and 1 weekly lottery. And these are only their in-house events! Then there are numerous other tournaments and contests tied to game providers or different sporting events.
As I said before,
There are tournaments for poker, roulette, and blackjack, and even for Aviator, Spribe's crypto Crash game!
Achievements
This is an interesting addition to the casino promotions, which adds a lot to the gamification experience, something very few casinos have and most players like!
Most achievements apply to different slot games and cover winning X bets in a month, X bets in a row, X wins per day, win a certain multiplier, and so on.
While each achievement doesn't bring a reward on its own, combinations do. A Combo-achievement is achieved when you get all achievements in a single game within a month. When that happens, you get a $50 no deposit bonus.
After you make a Combo-achievement and make a deposit, win a lottery, and win a tournament, you get an additional $100 no deposit bonus and a 100% bonus, although winning both the lottery and the tournament isn't as easy as it sounds.
When you collect Combo-achievements in three different games, you get another $100 no deposit + a 100% match bonus. If you get five combos in a month, you get a $200 no deposit bonus + a 200% match bonus.
There is also a sports option, where you have sports betting achievements, which bring you a $20 bonus for unlocking all single-bet achievements and $35 for unlocking all combo bet achievements.
On top of it all, all achievements get cleared every month, so you can do them multiple times in case you have a favorite game and enjoy completing achievements for it!
In a way, this is a loyalty program within a loyalty program. It's not the cheapest, to be honest, but if you mean to play, this is something that can give you 'purpose'.
If you want to compare, BetFury and BC.Game also use achievements, or 'tasks', to reward players, although they do it a bit differently.
Bonus Shop
The first time I saw a bonus shop was at Cloudbet Casino. While they actually enabled you to assemble and buy bonuses, the bonus shop at Bons Casino is a bit different.
This bonus shop actually sells bonus rounds on some slot games. For example, you can buy a bonus round on the Big Bad Wolf slot with spin values from $0.5 to $2.5 with no wagering.
There are different games available, and while these bonus rounds aren't the cheapest ($20 - $150), they might pay off nicely if you manage to score a big win there!
While Bons Casino starts with high wagering requirements on the welcome bonuses, everything else looks very nice, and although some bonuses could be higher, the number of promotions makes it all worth it. However, what I like most is that everything is at hand and written clearly. I'm used to surfing the terms to even find out what promotions are available. There is no need to even open the terms for using bonuses in Bons!
Bonus Code
Bons Casino doesn't use bonus codes for their regular promotions, although you can get a bonus code for an exclusive bonus, like our exclusive 50 free spins with a 20x wagering requirement!
To get the free spins, you must deposit 10 € and use the bonus code Gamblineers either at signup or under your Profile > Promotions > Bonus code:
Bons Casino Games
9/10
Number of Games
They offer fewer games than the majority of casinos that have around 4000
Game Providers
They have games from more game providers than most casinos!
Game Variety
You will find all the popular regular and live games (slots, poker, roulette, blackjack, baccarat)!
Provably Fair Games
The casino offers games provably fair by the player
Number of Crypto Games
They have one of the most diverse offers of crypto games!
* Crypto games: Dice, Crash, Plinko
Bons Casino doesn't have the largest game collection, but they definitely offer one of the best user experiences when it comes to finding and playing games in the casino!
They offer over 2200 games from more than 70 game providers. You can find everything, from Bitcoin slots to live games, and even 'crypto games' like Plinko, Bitcoin dice, and crypto crash games.
I have to be honest, I'm used to casino lobbies with ultra-modern graphics and layouts, so my first impression of Bons Casino was a bit like, "Oh dear, what am I in for?" But when I started scrolling around, I quickly saw that although they could work on their visual aspect more, they apparently rather focused on user experience, which not many casinos can say!
They use 3D blocky, Minecraft-like graphics for their banners, while other icons are simple, rounded, one-color lines, which doesn't exactly fit together in my mind, but I'm not a designer, so what do I know.
The first thing that got my interest was their game filtering. And it only got better from there on.
You have three main categories of Bons Casino: Sports, Casino, and Live Casino. 'Casino' is the main casino lobby and further branches into categories where most have something to do with slots, like Megaways, bonus-buy, jackpots, etc.
There are also 'Tables' where you can find non-live table games, and 'Other' that include crash games, dice games, and similar.
By choosing a category from the 'Games' menu, you get a green filter button at the top of the page, allowing you to choose games by volatility, game providers, categories, themes, and even games featured in the tournaments filter!
This is definitely one of the most refined filters I have ever seen in crypto casinos! In fact, the only thing that's missing is information about the RTP of games, although I wouldn't expect that to be in the filter, as much as somewhere around each game's thumbnail.
Then, as you open a game, you see icons on top of the game window which allow you to split your screen into 2 or four slots where each can host a different game, allowing you to see and play up to 4 games at once!
This is a feature that's only available on desktops for obvious reasons, but still a nice addition.
In case you open a game that's included in a tournament or some other activity in the casino, the right sidebar on desktop will show you more options to buy bonuses, how much to bet, ...
This is a unique feature I haven't seen anywhere else. Obviously, you can always open 4 tabs in a browser on desktop and resize them to see them all, but some casinos don't allow more than one session at once, so good luck with that.
The only problem I had was that some games in the split view started to automatically jump into full-screen when opened. I guess there are still glitches, but I still like this idea!
Then, if you open the Live Casino and start scrolling games, you will see that Bons Casino provides you with lots of very useful information for each live game, like the game language, the dealer name, bet limits, and the number of players currently in the game.
In my opinion, this makes choosing games a breeze compared to just looking at thumbnails that tell you nothing apart from the name of the game.
Only a few of the most established casinos get game providers to develop games exclusively for their casinos, and Bons Casino is one such casino. You can find multiple exclusive games, usually by searching for "Bons".
Overall, definitely one of the best gaming experiences I had in crypto casinos! I usually take the number of games a casino offers as an important factor of how good the casino is in this category because there is usually not much more to take into account due to the lack of features. But in Bons they have really outdone themselves!
Sports
Bons offers over 30 different sports to bet on and 15 crypto eSports betting options.
The lobby is a classic dark gray and also has the bets feed where you can see bets from other players and copy them.
Usually, there aren't many sports promotions to be found in Bitcoin bookies like this, but Bons proves that that's not always the case. Basically all the promotions (apart from the tournaments that apply only to casino games), you can use all bonuses and promotions that are listed in the bonuses section of this Bons Casino review.
Perhaps the best sports bonus option is the 500% first deposit bonus which you can couple with the 10 € free bet.

Accessibility
Bons Casino is a hybrid casino, meaning it accepts both crypto and fiat currencies. You can deposit in 9 different cryptocurrencies and almost 20 fiat currencies, or around 20 payment methods. You can find the list of all accepted payments in the details section of this Bons Casino review.
The website is available in 15 languages and restricts a little over 20 countries from playing.
Accessing Bons through a VPN isn't a problem. In fact, you can visit the site without it even from the restricted countries, but you can't signup or sign in that way.
User Experience
While there are surely things Bons Casino could improve on, the long list of unique features they have compared to most crypto casinos that have none makes me turn a blind eye to any small imperfections. And I think that's fine. I'd rather support casinos that try to serve something new and different than copy-paste casinos that do nothing and call themselves the number 1 crypto casino.
First, there are the unique promotions like the achievements and the bonus shop. Then you have detailed game filtering, split view on desktop, and additional game info in the live casino.
All of these already make Bons Casino worth trying out, just to see what is possible in the rigid world of online gambling.
Some games I opened in the split view were jumping into full-screen mode on their own upon opening, which is a glitch, I suppose. And the promotions could be sorted better across the website because there are so many of them it's hard to keep track.
But nevertheless, these are sweet problems because none actually affect your gameplay, and all apply to unique features that would make the experience much more mundane if they weren't there.
The website itself isn't among the fastest, but there are no annoying pop-ups, everything works on mobile, and there is even an Android app! You can find it by going to the 'Bons App' from the casino footer. Bons Casino says there that they have an Android and IOS mobile app, but the file they give you to download is an .apk file, which is only compatible with Android devices.
Bons Casino Login, Signup & Payments
6/10
Required Personal Info to Sign Up and Play
Only an email is required to sign up and play!
Sign Up Process
The sign up process is short and simple!
Deposits
Very low min. deposit, but has a limit on max. deposits.
Withdrawals
min. withdrawal could be lower and max. withdrawal is very low.
Cryptocurrencies
The casino accepts very few cryptocurrencies compared to most casinos (that accept at least 10).
Use of Bonus Codes
Bonus codes are simple to use if they are needed at all
Wagering deposits
You must wager your deposit amount at least 3 times before being eligible for a withdrawal.
Bons Casino belongs among anonymous crypto casinos, requiring only your email to signup and play. However, they reserve the right to additional KYC if you request a withdrawal for more than $1,000.
There is even a setting in your profile under Privacy where you can choose how they introduce themselves in case they ever call you. I thought this was a bit much, but then again, I don't use work phones where anyone could be tapping in :)
You can deposit in 9 different cryptocurrencies or use one of more than 20 payment methods to deposit fiat.
The deposit limits they use are friendly enough, although keep in mind that they use payment providers even for crypto payments, which means there are some fees involved.
Min | Max | |
---|---|---|
Crypto deposit | $10 | $50,000 |
Crypto withdrawal | $20 | $50,000 |
Fiat deposit | $5 | $100,000 |
Fiat withdrawal | $10 | $100,000 |
Using 3rd party payment providers for crypto transactions is also the reason why not all cryptocurrencies have the same payment limits. Among crypto, you'll be best off using USDT, or Neteller for fiat transactions.
Every deposit must be wagered at least 3x before being eligible for a withdrawal.
So keep this in mind in case you deposit and win on your first bet.

Regular Weekly Promotions
There are plenty regular weekly promotions to keep you engaged!
VIP/Loyalty Program
The casino has a good loyalty program!
Support
Support is one of the best and will sure take care of all your needs!
*Support is rated in the support section of Bons Casino review.
Bons Casino has a newsletter which you are automatically signed up for as you register. They also have one of the most detailed settings for this in the profile settings, where you can set not only whether to get emails or not, but even which topics interest you.
To be honest, I didn't exactly test this to see whether any of that is actually taken into account, but it's interesting to see that they went that far.
When it comes to promotions, Bons is definitely one of the best choices you can make. With countless tournaments, contests, lottery, achievements, and bonuses, you will never run out of promotions to use!
There is also a loyalty program, which isn't VIP, but is still nice, giving you the opportunity to get better bonuses, priority support, and an account manager. It's also not too difficult to climb levels, but you can lose them if you don't keep wagering, which is a downside considering most casinos don't do this.

Number/Value of Added Features For a Loyal Player
The loyalty program offers one of the richest experiences!
Bons Casino has a 7-tiered loyalty program, and like many other things, they have some unique conditions here as well.
There are basically four things you can get in the loyalty program: a higher cashback, a higher rakeback, priority support, and an account manager.
These are the levels:
- Novice: 10% monthly cashback, 6x wagering, 100% cashback amount deposit; 0.05% rakeback, 6x wagering
- Regular ($200): 10% monthly cashback, 5x wagering, 100% cashback amount deposit; 0.1% rakeback, 5x wagering
- Bronze ($6,000): 10% monthly cashback, 4x wagering, 50% cashback amount deposit; 0.15% rakeback, 4x wagering
- Silver ($25,000): 12% monthly cashback, 3x wagering, 50% cashback amount deposit; 0.17% rakeback, 2x wagering
- Gold ($100,000): 14% bimonthly cashback, 2x wagering, 25% cashback amount deposit; 0.2% rakeback, 2x wagering; VIP support
- Platinum ($300,000): 16% weekly cashback, 1x wagering, 25% cashback amount deposit; 0.22% rakeback, 1x wagering; VIP support, personal manager
- Ultimate ($1,000,000): 20% weekly cashback, no wagering, no deposit; 0.25% rakeback, no wagering; VIP support, personal manager
The numbers in brackets are how much you must wager to get to the level. Monthly or weekly cashback comes with a wagering requirement, and you must deposit a part of the amount you're about to get first before you can claim the cashback.
However, there is another catch. You can't simply wager $100,000, become a Gold member, and just keep the title. This is what the terms say:
Your status is determined by the sum of bets made within the current month and two months with the highest total bet values out of your latest 4-month activity. 100% of real money bets and 10% of bonus money bets are taken into account.
This means that you must keep wagering in order to keep your current status. If you fail to do so, your status gets frozen for 30 days, in which you have the chance to wager enough to un-freeze the status.
The cashback applies to non-live casino games, although you can get it also for live casino and for sports betting, but the percentages are lower there (5-10% for live casino and 5-12.5% for sports).
The rakeback, or 'rebate', as Bons calls it, gives you the percentages written above for slots, 10 times less for live games, 20 times less for non-live table games, and 5 times more for sports betting. However, even if you get a 1.25% rakeback on sports betting, it's still much lower than our highest rakeback offer of 10% by Stake Casino.
This loyalty program is accessible enough to climb levels. However, I don't like the fact that you must keep going at it to keep them. I know I really have no reason to demand fixed levels because this is meant as a reward for players who mean to play anyway. But the fact that most casinos don't have such a limitation makes me feel I can get better conditions, reasonable or not.
I'll let you decide.
Support
10/10
Number of Support Options
They could have more support options apart from live chat (the best casinos include live chat, email and telephone)
Live Chat Experience
Live chat requires additional personal info to use.
Response Time
Live chat response time is a few seconds or up to a few minutes tops!
Bots & Agents
Live chat agents give usefull and to the point answers and they are both professional and friendly.
* Talking to a bot is not necesserily a bad thing but it does prolong the time for resolving your issue if you must talk to an agent.
You can contact Bons Casino via live chat or by submitting a contact form on their website.
They use an interesting live chat app that, like the rest of the casino, looks like it's from the 70's but functions very well. It allows you to open only the chat in a new window, which technically lets you chat with support while not being in the casino at all. I'm still trying to figure out why that would be useful, but it's definitely another unique thing about Bons Casino.
The agents reply very fast (under a minute!), stay on point, and talk to you like a normal person. There is also no bot to go through, so you can be sure you'll get the help you need as fast as possible.
Responsible Gambling
Unfortunately, responsible gaming isn't one of Bons Casino's strong suits. While you can find a responsible gambling page in their footer with a few links to some of the organizations, there are no tools to be found in the casino itself. They do mention self-exclusion but give no information on how to set it in case a player needs it.
This is one of the more unfriendly attitudes towards responsible gambling. Giving players no tools and so little information is not exactly a step towards making the world of gambling a better place.

Social Media & Groups
Bons Casino uses social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Telegram, although they have none linked from their website, so tread carefully if you're going to look for them. A lot of times, random people open scam profiles to take you god knows where.
