Metaspins Review

When you look at Metaspins Casino, you see that they put all their bets on their level-up program. There is only one welcome bonus, but they promise a huge rakeback in the level-up. But do they deliver?

Metaspins First Deposit Bonus

This is the 'classic' crypto casino bonus you can find in most crypto casinos, although it's often coupled with some free spins. The minimum deposit is 0.1 mBTC.

This bonus doesn't reach the standards compared to what you can get in the best crypto casinos. Free spins would be welcome, but most importantly, wagering is high. Most casinos offer a 40x wager on bonus, and even that is considered high wagering. For comparison, look in the FortuneJack review for one of the best first deposit bonuses.

Rakeback

Metaspins promises up to 50% rakeback with the option to get an additional 10% rakeback in your daily metaspin (explained in the loyalty section of the Metaspins review). When you find a promotion this high, you must be careful. There is always a catch.

Imagine: the rakeback is calculated based on the theoretical house edge of casino games, and the house edge is what the casino lives of. In other words, the higher the rakeback, that much less bread and butter for the casino. Metaspins doesn't have its own games, so they must pay commission to game providers offering their games in Metaspins, which again comes from the house edge. So trust me when I tell you that no casino will give up more than half of what they earn.

That's why there is "up to" 50% rakeback. When I started looking at what this 'up-to' means, things became very unclear. The terms and conditions are a mess. There is something about the rakeback in the Level Up Metaspin terms, but you have no idea what goes where. So I turned to support. You can find the screenshot of my chat above.

It turns out that the rakeback isn't calculated by taking your wagers, multiplying them with the house edge percentage, and then with your rakeback percentage, as it should be done. Instead, there is a random multiplier involved for some reason. It took me a while to get this because a random multiplier in rakeback doesn't make sense.

Now I might be wrong about how this all comes together because no terms define this in any way, and I had to drag everything out of support, and even then, I had only bits and pieces. I only know that you get a random multiplier between 1x and 25x on your bet, which defines how much rakeback you actually get at the end.

Support gave me an example: "You get $1 rakeback, you get a 2x multiplier, that means you won $2." That would mean that my rakeback is multiplied by this multiplier, which we know isn't true because then you would get AT LEAST 50% rakeback or whatever your percent is, not 'up-to'. This already made me mistrustful.

If you ask me, the 25x multiplier defines the maximum rakeback you can get, so 50% if you're on the highest levels. Or in other words, if you get a 1x multiplier (which I bet is the most common one), you get your rakeback percentage divided by 25. That means you will mostly get a 2% rakeback. And this is for the highest levels.

I work with casinos for a living, and delving into details like this is my job. But most players won't do this.

If I was a player and a casino promised me 50% wagering, I would be betting my socks off to get to the highest levels as quick as possible. And then be thoroughly disappointed.

It's sad because this could be one of the things that would make Metaspins stand out. I don't mean offering 50% rakeback, but a solid number and no misleading would be nice. Instead, they have a crypto lottery, which is rare, and I explain below, but that's it. In every other aspect, they are a lesser casino.

If you want an actual rakeback and unambiguous terms, use our exclusive promotions at Stake Casino and get 10% from the start.

Metaspins Lottery

I decided to single out the Metaspins Lottery because an actual crypto lottery is very hard to come by. Although, after the rakeback fiasco, I'm not sure I would trust Metaspins to do this fairly.

They offer a daily $20,000 in BTC jackpot. You can buy one ticket for $0.2 or a bit less if you buy more than one. Another way to get lottery tickets is with the daily meta spin and leveling up.

Only a handful of casinos offer a lottery that's actually in crypto. The best one is housed by BC.Game.

Other Promotions

There is not much else to speak of. Everything revolves around the level-up program and the daily metaspin if you manage to earn one. The spin can get you a few different things, including a reload bonus of 50% with 15-25x wagering (bonus+deposit), depending on your level.

There are no other bonuses, free spins, or cashbacks. The reload bonus once again has high wagering, so if you're set on using bonuses, choosing another casino will be a better choice—BitStarz, for example, or mBit Casino.

Metaspins offers over 2500 games from almost 50 game providers. This is among the smallest casino game collections, although you can still find all game types, including the crypto crash game and Bitcoin dice, but no in-house games.

There is a provably fair category which is welcome, so you don't have to look for them manually. If you prefer in-house provably fair games, which are usually better designed, BC.Game has the most extensive collection.

The lobby is a clean dark grey with large colorful game thumbnails and looks modern. There are the usual game categories and the menu for the main game types. You can only filter games by providers by clicking on 'All games' and then choosing one provider. Or you can select one of the categories in the lobby or from the menu and sort games by the release date or alphabetically.

This is all very basic, and some more filtering would be welcome, at least by bonus-buy features, jackpot games, and maybe RTP or volatility.

You can play games for free, but if you're not logged in, the signup window will open over every game you play, and you must close it each time.

Your latest games will be shown at the top in the lobby, and you can also access the game history in your account.

Metaspins advocates anonymity, so their signup is short and simple. You need your email, and you're set to go. They even invite you to use a VPN to play for additional privacy.

You get a random nickname initially, which you can change in your profile.

Metaspins Casino is crypto-only, so you can deposit in one of the 7 major cryptocurrencies or use Banxa and Itez to buy crypto.

They have unlimited max. withdrawals which we don't often see:

The Metaspins level-up program has no upper limit to the number of levels, although the benefits stop increasing at 1001.

There are 3 benefits you can get:

• the level-up metaspin
• the daily metaspin
• rakeback

The metaspins are the same, except you get one when you level up and one every day when you managed to wager at least $30 the previous day.

Metaspins have 4 possible rewards:

• Higher rakeback percentage
• 50% reload bonus
• Big win
• Lottery tickets

The rakeback percentage adds up to your 'basic' rakeback percentage. Although this isn't actually rakeback, as I explained in the bonus section of the Metaspins review, so don't get your hopes up.

The reload bonus max. amount, and the big win amount depend on your level. The bonus comes with a 25x wagering on bonus+deposit, while the big win is wager-free.

The interesting thing is how Metaspins decided to condition leveling up. Usually, there is a wagered amount requirement, but they went for the number of spins. Although no terms define this, I'm assuming they mean slot spins. Each bet of $0.2 or higher counts as 1 spin.

• Level 2: 200 spins, up to 10% rakeback, 50% up to $50 reload, $50 big win
• Level 3: 300 spins, up to 10% rakeback, 50% up to $50 reload, $50 big win
• Level 4: 400 spins, up to 10% rakeback, 50% up to $50 reload, $50 big win
• Level 5: 500 spins, up to 10% rakeback, 50% up to $50 reload, $50 big win
• Level 6-25: 500 spins, up to 15% rakeback, 50% up to $150 reload, $150 big win
• Level 26-150: 500 spins, up to 25% rakeback, 50% up to $250 reload, $300 big win
• Level 151-1000: 500 spins, up to 35% rakeback, 50% up to $500 reload, $500 big win
• Level 1001-infinity: 500 spins, up to 50% rakeback, 50% up to $1000 reload, $1000 big win

You're automatically level 1 when you sign up and have no perks.

The level-up condition with the number of spins makes this loyalty program one of the most accessible ones. However, the rewards aren't so big. This could be an amazing program if the rakeback was actually a rakeback.
