Casinia sports betting experience – test & review

Bonus & VIP Offer

Welcome bonus

As usual, the bonus offers are hidden behind the menu item “Promotions”. Here, too, the casino deals are listed first. A little further down, however, I could also choose from 12 (!) bonuses for sports betting during my visit.

But now first of all to the welcome bonus for sports betting at Casinia: The Casinia bonus for new customers applies to the first deposit. It provides you with up to 200 euros of additional credit with a bonus value of 100 percent. This is an above-average amount for a sports betting bonus.

The percentage adds exactly the same amount to the deposit – for example, if you deposit 50 euros, you will receive 50 euros as a sports betting bonus. The maximum beckons accordingly, if you transfer 200 euros.

If you are registered and click on “Get bonus” in the promotion section of the new customer bonus, you will receive the following message: “Contact us via Live Chat”. This means that in order to collect the deal, you must first make a request to the customer service. Unfortunately, this is a bit cumbersome and hardly up to date nowadays.

After the approval, you have to deposit at least 20 euros. Attention: do not deposit until after the approval and do not use NETELLER or Skrill then, because otherwise your eligibility to get the bonus will expire!

With the confirmation by the support and the loading of your account, you still don’t have the deal secure: First, you still have to wager the amount of your first deposit 1 time at a minimum odds of 1.50. This is also anything but positive to me.

Once you have received the bonus, you first have to fulfill the wagering requirements. Only then are you entitled to really withdraw winnings from it. The amount of the first deposit and the bonus must be wagered more than 5 times within 30 days at a minimum rate of 2.00 – for combined bets, 1.50 is the minimum rate. This is a decent standard, but it can be even better.

Excluded when playing through are any kind of handicap bets, over/under bets, both teams score, odd/even, sports bets with cashout, system bets, tips from free bets and those on virtual sports. Invalid bets and games in the casino do not count either. Only the first bet per game will be counted. You can bet a maximum of 50 euros with the bonus.

Precise information about the welcome bonus and the conditions:

VIP & Loyalty Programme

Casinia offers a 5-level VIP program. Among other things, you can collect rewarding cashbacks and increase your monthly withdrawal limit up to 20,000 euros. Often, such systems only apply in the respective casino areas. At Casinia, however, you can also become a VIP via sports betting. The bookie generally registers your activities when betting and making deposits. How far you have progressed can be tracked at any time via the Casinia emblem in the upper right corner.

As mentioned before, there are also a lot of offers besides the VIP program and the welcome bonus. For example, during my test phase, sports bettors could collect deals for certain tournaments such as the DFL Supercup, the UEFA Super Cup or the French Open, receive various free bets, use combination bet bonuses and claim a general cashback bonus.

Betting offer

With a click on “Sports”, a typical online bookmaker view awaits you at Casinia. On the left side you are immediately welcomed by the top betting options. King soccer is always at the top. But also other important sports, such as the NBA (more on NBA betting) or tennis (more on tennis betting), are listed here when important tournaments are coming up.

In addition to the major sports, you will also find (in this country) less widespread, such as Gelic Football or Cricket.

Further down you will find the complete overview of betting options. The number of individual options or leagues or events indicated for each category quickly shows that there is quite a bit of betting potential. The pre-match area offered around 2,000 offers in my test.

When it comes to soccer – which is of course always the measure of things in Central Europe when it comes to sports betting – I was able to identify every important league on the continent. But there is also a very good selection worldwide here. You even have the possibility to bet on matches in Malaysia or the Faroe Islands.

Virtual soccer leagues, such as the Bundesliga VR, can also be found. In the real Bundesliga, it’s down or beyond this to the upper league. This is really extraordinary. As a rule, the 3rd league is the end of the line and not all betting providers offer this as well.

There is also a good betting depth in the other sports.

eSports & other special bets
eSports betting is becoming increasingly popular, not least due to its large media presence. For sports betting fans, corresponding matches are so interesting, among other things, because eSports events take place almost all year round. So there is a lot of profit and learning potential here.

Generally speaking, the more often you bet on a particular sport, the better you get. That’s why big winnings are so rare with casual bettors.

At Casinia you will find practically the entire eSports spectrum: You can bet on Dota 2, Counter-Strike, Starcraft and much more. On my first visit, there were over 100 matches listed.

Furthermore, there is an extra section for Virtual-Sports under “Virtual” in the main menu. Here, too, you’ll find a wide range of soccer, tennis, horse racing and much more. All events come with live streams.

If you want something really special, you can even make long-term bets on elections and other events in the pre-match area.

Live bets

I have already noted that Casinia also offers sports that are less common in Germany and has many international soccer leagues in its portfolio. Among other things, this is why the live betting section is actually always very well filled.

Soccer fans will find a large selection of live bets at almost any time of the year and other important sports such as tennis or basketball are also constantly bettable due to the wide selection of leagues here as well. If you want, you can of course also look outside the standard.

In principle, almost every pre-match offer during the respective event is then also available live for betting. I found it a bit unfortunate that the live betting area did not offer a calendar during my test, in which I could view the upcoming matches and thus plan for the long term. Special statistics on live matches were also not provided to me.

There were, however, very vivid animated pitch and gameplay visualizations – even in 3D. Here, attacks, moves, points and more were displayed in real time. The entire course of the game was summarized in a timetable and in some matches there were statistical evaluations within the game. Live streams were not available.

Quotes & Betting Features

Quotes

Betting odds are of course essential in sports betting and every bookmaker advertises that they offer the best or particularly good odds. Unfortunately, the general evaluation of these statements is difficult. Among other things, this is due to the fact that sometimes the odds in a sports area at a certain time exactly at the bookmaker of choice may be slightly worse than at the competition or vice versa. However, this does not automatically mean that the odds are generally bad.

The one sports betting provider with the best betting odds for soccer, tennis, basketball, etc. simply does not exist.

I therefore recommend that you rather look at where generally advantageous conditions prevail. The odds key is a good way to determine this. Unfortunately, this is never published as a number.

However, it is good that you can determine the key yourself relatively easily. I did that here for the Casinia sports betting experience report and for you. As a basis, I drew 10 odds values from the current betting program. The distortion due to odds outliers is therefore minimal – up or down. I determined the following ten betting odds:

98,31 / 90,46 / 87,40 / 92,53 / 95,31 / 80,70 / 95,93 / 95,77 / 93,09 / 94,87

This results in an average odds ratio of 92.43 percent. This value is de facto quite good. Casinia Sportwetten is therefore definitely recommendable in terms of odds strength.

Betting Features

At Casinia you can place single bets, system bets and combined bets. The interface is – typical for an online bookmaker – tidy and lists the individual games of the respective sport or league below each other.

The main betting options, such as soccer 1X2, can already be found in the overview. With a click on the matches, you are then offered the full list.

In soccer you get tens of different options from the categories “Main bets”, “Fast markets”, “1st half”, “2nd half”, “Combo”, “Corner kicks”, “Player special” and “Others”. That’s really all kinds of stuff!

Casinia does not directly advertise a betting configurator and there is no button that offers one quite obviously, however, you can actually place combo bets within a match at Casinia Sportsbook. And that is the central function of such a feature.

Furthermore, there is a cashout to choose from. So, if you are afraid that you might be wrong with your bet, you can simply sell your betting slip to the bookmaker. However, this is not possible for all bets, but for most of them.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Casinia works together with numerous partly very renowned financial service providers. Especially Trustly, which even operates under a German TÜV certificate, is of course very interesting for German players.

I was able to arrange the first deposit optionally with Trustly (more about betting providers with Trustly), Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer, paysafecard (more about betting providers with paysafecard), ecoPayz, NETELLER, MiFinity, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum or Ripple.

The minimum amount for loading your account is 10 euros, and you can deposit a maximum of 5,000 euros at once. There are never any fees involved. The amounts are usually booked immediately, so there is no waiting period before betting.

A withdrawal is – as with practically every bookmaker – always made via the same method as the deposit. If the method of account loading does not allow for a payout, as is the case with paysafecard, for example, the distribution of winnings takes place via an alternative.

In general, Casinia allows itself a processing time of 3 days after the request in terms of withdrawals. This applies to all payment methods, but it can be faster with some services, especially with e-wallets.

The minimum payout is 20 euros. The maximum amount you can transfer – at least as a new customer – is 1,000 euros. With the first VIP level, however, you are already at 10,000 euros per month. Frequent users can withdraw up to 20,000 euros per month. The transfer of winnings is also free of charge and the betting tax, which applies in Germany, is not charged.

A KYC procedure before the first withdrawal, in the course of which you have to send some typical documents, such as a copy of your ID, to verify your identity, is not carried out by default at Casinia. In individual cases, however, this is possible. You will then receive a notification by e-mail.

Deposits with Trustly, NETELLER and Skrill possible
Cryptocurrencies accepted
Min./max. deposit: 10€/5.000€
Min./max. withdrawal: 20€/20.000€ for VIPs
No betting tax
Payout within 3 days
No standard KYC
My experience with the first deposit and withdrawal
To start the test run of the deposit and withdrawal process at Casinia, I made my first deposit of €30 via the payment service provider ecoPayz. At the moment, my money was available in my player account free of charge.

If I had wanted to activate the bonus, it would have been easy to do so after making the deposit. Immediately, a pop-up window appeared for me to activate the bonus. I liked at this point that I could decide for myself whether I wanted to use this welcome bonus or not.

A verification process was not required at this point. In the T&Cs, the betting provider reserved the right to call its users for an identity check if necessary – but since I did not receive a corresponding request to do so, I continued without this step.

I went to the sports betting area and placed a live bet, which was accepted after seven seconds – this makes Casinia Bet averagely fast. Unfortunately, my balance was reduced to only 21.80 euros.

Before my withdrawal, I once again found out how many times I would have to wager the deposit in order to trigger a cash withdrawal. I learned that I only had to wager it once – these are very fair wagering requirements. Of course, I followed this fair requirement and was able to increase my balance to 63.69 euros in the process.

I thus requested the payout in the amount of 63 euros. After three business days, the money was paid out to my ecoPayz account.

Overall, Casinia Bets made a very serious impression on me: The betting provider communicated transparently, did not put any unnecessary obstacles in my way in the form of unfair turnover requirements and the live bets were accepted quickly. Only the payout could have been a bit faster.

Reputation & Security

Casinia does not operate under a European license. The regulation here is done by the government in Curaçao. Of the overseas licenses, this is the most prestigious. It can definitely keep up with the “typical” European Malta license, because similarly strict guidelines apply.

Casinia is also well positioned on the technical security level. There is HTTPS encryption on the entire website for the necessary data protection. You can therefore be sure in all areas that the transmitted information will not be read by third parties.

Trustly as a cooperating financial service provider with German TÜV seal is also a security indicator. Like PayPal, the company only works with reputable bookies.

And player protection, i.e. specific options for preventing gambling addiction, are also an issue at Casinia Sportwetten. Under “Responsible Gaming” you can find numerous tips on how to keep your gambling behavior under control. Unfortunately, you cannot quickly set limits or a complete self-exclusion via your account, but only via a request to the support. This would hardly be conceivable under a European license.

The problem with the limits is also present with other sports betting platforms or casinos from Araxio. I criticize this again and again. Otherwise, however, the sister brands, such as Librabet, have a practically impeccable reputation.

Of course, minor frictions do not stay away. Thus, during a deeper research on the web, I have come across quite a few complaints regarding outstanding profit distributions and account blockings. However, these were always minor or major violations of Casinia’s rules.

Service & Support

At Casinia you can use a live chat around the clock to get help. The employees also speak German. There is also a German-speaking hotline and an email address. Alternatively, a Facebook account is available for assistance or public complaints. This is, of course, another clear seriousness aspect.

My Casinia experience with the chat is very good. Feedback was given within seconds and the employees were always friendly and helped me to the point. Only the German language skills seemed a bit bumpy here and there (which partly also applies to the texts and buttons on the website), but that is really complaining on a high level.

Functions & Design

Casinia is basically a fairy tale themed casino that takes you into a corresponding world with knights, beautiful princesses, and so on. Of course, sports betting fans are less likely to want that – and they won’t get it either. Because the bookie area is completely free of fairy tales and designed for functionality – which is more than good considering the enormous betting offer!

In front of a noble green background you will find all options in typical table form. The website also shines with very fast loading times and smooth navigation.

Other Offers

As mentioned several times, Casinia is primarily a casino – and a quite popular one at that. Therefore, it is not surprising that the casino portfolio could also convince me.

Despite the – due to the fairy tale theme – significantly more visual design, the online casino is very clear and functional. You can quickly switch between the different game types or between casino and live casino via the categories, get a search function, have the option to create favorites and also sort by providers.

Speaking of providers – more than 30 companies provide a huge selection of casino games. Among them are NetEnt, Playtech and Microgaming.

The welcome bonus of the casino brings even more additional credit with 500 euros and free spins on top of that.
