Casino States

CasinoStates.com leaves much to be desired upon first, second and third glances.  To begin with, the home page and logo are poorly designed and hokey, although yes – the stars and stripes do indeed mean that US players are accepted here.  To continue, the “About Us” page is embarrassingly mistake-ridden, explaining how its software was “re-lunched” in 2008, and how it’s a great place for online “gamming.”  As if that’s not enough, they are licensed in Costa Rica, which on its own should raise a red flag.  CasinoStates.com is an owned subsidiary of Phemosis Investments Ltd., a Cyprus-based company.

This casino is powered by Top Game software, which achieved popularity in Europe and has now moved into the US market.  However, they do not offer their software to casinos already in business – they have instead created their own casinos which run on this software.  It is definitely one we see less often, and one we feel hesitant to promote, especially considering our first impression on this site.  However, reviews of the software are generally positive, emphasizing excellent graphics and audio superiority.

Games on offer here include traditional favorites of Blackjack, Roulette, Video Poker, Video Slots, Classic Slots and other games, such as Keno.

CasinoStates.com has impressive bonuses, with their Welcome Bonus being as high as $2400, spread out over four deposits.  However, the second and third deposit bonuses will only be received if your account balance is less than $2.  Additionally, bonuses will not be issued if there are any withdrawals pending. Wagering requirements for these bonuses are your deposit and bonus times 20, and these can be changed at any time.  As if this is not enough, the terms and conditions page of the bonuses state that bets places on all card and table games do not count in any way toward meeting these requirements.  We highly suggest exercising caution before depositing here, and possibly blocking bonuses on your account, should you not feel confident about meeting the requirements.

In addition to the Welcome Bonus, the casino also offers a High Rollers Bonus, a 15% extra bonus on all deposits, a variety of Monthly Promotions, a Refer-a-Friend Bonus and an “Authorization $50 Bonus.”  Requirements can vary with all bonuses, so remember to do your homework in advance.

The casino has a form on the “contact” page that can be filled out with your question or comments and submitted to the casino for review.  They also list a toll-free number for US players.  Email addresses are also provided, and they promise receiving a response within 48 hours.  If you do decide to download the software, you can then access the Live Chat support from the lobby.

CasinoStates.com does meet industry standards when it comes to security.  The “About Us” page clearly states that they utilize 128-bit Encryption technology to ensure all personal and financial information are safeguarded as they travel between the casino’s secure server and your own private computer.  They also guarantee that your information will not be shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
