BELLA VEGAS

Bella Vegas is a casino that ought to be avoided due to their unscrupulous business practices, lack of transparency and the terrible way they handle customer complaints. Founded in 2001, they started off as a respectable player in the industry. This all changed when the holding group Grand Prive decided to change their software platform from Microgaming to Saucify, better known as BetOnSoft. The reason for this was that Microgaming decided to leave the US market and Bella Vegas wanted to keep their US customers. But what they didn’t do was to inform their affiliates, advertisers and business partners of the changes and shut down the affiliate programs unilaterally.

When this happened in 2008, thousands of affiliates’ contracts were nullified and they were no longer receiving advertising revenues from the casino even though the Bella Vegas continues to run. And this is not an isolated event and the entire Grand Prive group was affected. They weren’t squeaky keep cleaning in the beginning either as they were also implicated in paying their business partners far less than the agreed-upon amounts for marketing and advertising their sites

There have also been numerous complaints about them not paying out legitimate winnings and they do not take the effort to respond in some cases, even when given the opportunity to respond from other portals.

If this is not a concern for you, Bella Vegas still runs a fairly tight ship with128-bit SSL encryption and is iTech Labs approved. They have recently added instant play which is accessible via the website browser; software options include that for Mac OSx and are Windows compatible and not to mention smartphones and tablets as well.

They do provide a 100% match bonus up to $100 on first deposits but only if you have a USD, CAD, GBP or Euro account. This bonus is subject to a hefty 40 times wagering requirement but they do allow Video Poker, Blackjack and Craps to count towards it even though it’s a tiny percentage, where some casinos don’t even allow that all. Another mark against them is that when you do a first-time withdrawal, your bonus is immediately written off and the minimum amount to withdraw is a hundred units of currency.

Games at Bella Vegas

Bella Vegas supports a very small selection of table games. Try your hand at Three Card poker; Single Deck, Atlantic City or European blackjack. Punto Banco is also firm favourite along with roulette and craps. We take a stab at Super Keno, Captain Keno and Berry Picker Keno. They do have an incredible selection of 34 different video pokers like Aces and Faces, Deuces and Joker, Deuces Wild, Rocca Jackson and Double Bonus.
