Welcome Bonus

If you’ve read enough of these reviews, you know by now that one of the quickest ways for a casino to get to my heart is to do something different. I gamble at so many sites that use the same basic strategy for welcome bonuses — X dollars at 100 percent with sky-high wagering requirements, etc — that it’s a real thrill when I come across something that shakes up the formula.

Special sign up bonus- So that’s why I’m pumped up about the 32 Red casino sign up bonus. It’s actually two bonuses, which is cool, and one of those bonuses is a coveted no deposit bonus. You read that correctly — I have found a Canadian casino that will give you bonus cash without requiring a match deposit!

32 Red offers every player $10 for simply creating an account, so you can begin trying to build up a bankroll as soon as possible. Of course, $10 isn’t a ton of dough, and the casino will place strict limits on bet size while you’re playing with that $10, but still, it’s tough to beat free. The only other catches are this: you have to hit the wagering requirements (50x) within seven days of creating the account, and you cannot withdraw more than $100 on winnings from that $10.

Once you’ve worked through your $10, you can also take advantage of the site’s deposit bonus, which offers up $32 for every $20 you deposit, with a max bonus of $160 (which would require a $100 deposit). This bonus is also subject to the 50x wagering requirement with the following contributing percentages:

• 100 percent – Slots (Excluding Mega Spin Slots, Castle Builder), Keno or Scratch Cards
• 50 percent – Roulette (except French Roulette), Table Poker games (except Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker Gold and Caribbean Draw Poker), Casino War and Sic Bo
• 30 percent – French Roulette
• 10 percent – Video Poker (except All Aces), Blackjack (except Blackjack games listed below), Pontoon, Baccarat, Caribbean Draw Poker and Vegas 3 Card Rummy Gold
• 2 percent – All versions of Atlantic City Blackjack, All versions of Vegas Downtown Blackjack, All versions of Vegas Strip Blackjack, All versions of Vegas Single Deck Blackjack, Hi Lo 13 European Blackjack Gold, Classic Blackjack, All Aces Video Poker and Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker Gold
• 0 percent – Craps, Mega Spin Slots (Double Magic, Fantastic 7s, High 5 and Major Millions), Castle Builder

The 32 Red casino welcome bonus doesn’t have a ton of money to offer up, but the return on small investments is actually excellent. If you’re looking to be a high-roller, this may not be the site for you. But if money is a little tight, or you’re generally new to gambling and want to tread carefully with your expenditures, this bonus structure should provide a great experience for you.

Games

Variety is definitely the big selling point here. 32 Red online casino has more than 500 games, including 320 slots alone. You can find all the same titles in either via either the 32 Red casino download or the 32 Red flash casino. The site uses Microgaming software, meaning you’ll be wagering on top of the line games that are safe, fun and operate remarkably well on most machines.

Among the 320 slots are some of Microgaming’s heavy hitters. The provider is best known for its progressive jackpot slots, and all the hits are here — Mega Moolah, the Dark Knight, King Cashalot and more. Other fan favorites include Tomb Raider, Hitman and Thunderstruck. Basically, if Microgaming makes it, it’s going to be on 32 Red.

Table games & tournaments – There’s plenty here beyond the slots, too. If you’re into blackjack, roulette, poker machines, scratch cards or keno, there’s plenty here for you. The casino operates regular slot and blackjack tournaments, which are a blast, and 32 Red bingo is a popular spot for many gamblers, as well. There’s also a live casino where you can wager with Playboy Bunny dealers on games like roulette, blackjack and baccarat.

The poker room – Lastly, 32 Red also has a poker room, although you have to use a separate account for your money there. That said, it’s pretty easy to shuffle cash between the two, and if you’re looking for an online home for your slot and poker playing, this is a nice option.

Mobile

If you love gaming but are constantly on the go, the 32 Red mobile casino might be the way to go. Depending on your device, the casino features 18 Microgaming games, including Mega Moolah, Thunderstruck, Tomb Raider, Avalon and more. You can access some form of the 32 Red mobile app on just about any smart device, although there are different versions for different types of phones.

On my iPhone, I unfortunately can only access 10 games through the casino’s app, which you can access by going to 32red.com through your phone’s browser. You can, however, access more games, including Mega Moolah and Thunderstruck, by having the site text you a special link for just that game. Go to 32red.com/mobile, enter your info and tell the site which game you want, and it will send you a link for that specific game.

The good news is that you can connect your existing bank account to the mobile app for easier gaming, and other devices — like Android and Blackberry, can support the full assortment of 18 games. It’s not a perfect product and certainly lacks the variety of the web version, but 32 Red’s mobile service can be a fine place to curb the casino bug while you’re waiting at the doctor’s office or taking the bus.

Sport

32Red has an impressive array of sports betting options available for all players. For starters, wagers can be placed for as little as $0.50, making it a great option for recreational players looking to add a little excitement to their sports viewing. In addition, there are a number of great promotions available as well including a $10 “no deposit” welcome bonus for first time players looking to get in on the action.

When it comes to game selection, Canadians will find all of their favorite NHL action ready and waiting for them all season long. In fact, the entire slate of games from every major North American sport including the NBA, MLB, and NFL are here waiting. There is also a full range of global events to wager on as well – all of Europe’s major Soccer leagues such as the Champions League, England’s Premier League, France’s Ligue 1, and Germany’s Bundesliga have odds spread for you to take advantage of.

No matter what you are looking to place a bet on, 32Red has you covered. You can find e-sports betting, boxing, tennis, MMA, and more. If there is a major event – or even just a league match – going on somewhere, the odds are (pun intended) that you will find it at 32Red.

Given the range of sports available and the ability to place wagers for less than $1, this is one of the best sports books for recreational and professional players alike.

Promotions

Daily $250 freeroll – There’s a good amount going on at 32 Red in this department. For starters, the site runs a daily $250 freeroll, usually on the Avalon slots game. Entry is free, and each day, 10 players win a cash prize for their participation. There are also some other miscellaneous events like this you can access if you’re a regular player.

Ruby Rewards loyalty program – Then there’s the Red Ruby Rewards loyalty points program. Every time you wager, you’ll receive “Red Rubies” which are 32 Red’s answer to loyalty points. Players can then convert those points for chips to use in the casino. Until you reach 1,000 Red Rubies, you’ll be stuck in the Bronze tier. The silver tier contains players with 1,000-9,999 Rubies, while Gold players have 10,000+. There’s also a special invitation-only section called Club Rouge. You get bonus Rubies as you enter each tier, as well as other perks like birthday bonuses and cash prizes.

Banking

Deposits  – Canadian players have no shortage of options for deposits and withdrawals. When you’re sending money in, you can use debit/credit cards (VISA, MasterCard), Neteller, Skrill, Click2Pay, EcoPay, Ukash or a direct wire transfer. There aren’t any Canadian-specific methods here, but all of those listed above should work well for most players.

Withdrawals – You can use all of those methods for making withdrawals, too. Credit card withdrawals will take 3-5 days and wire transfers even longer, but the other methods should process instantly, which is better than what you’ll get at most online casinos.

Conclusion

You’re going to enjoy what you find at 32 Red, I think. There are some drawbacks — the welcome bonus isn’t huge and the mobile app could use some work — but if those things don’t bother you, you’ll have a great time here. The introductory bonuses are small but have a quality return, and frankly, you can count all the no deposit bonuses available in Canada on one hand, so you’re getting a deal there. And the gaming variety is legit, too, meaning you’ll never feel like you have to go elsewhere to find a certain game.
