Cherry Gold Casino has been in operation since 2011 and is part of the Aff Alliance Group. The website www.cherrygoldcasino.com accepts players from the United States. Based on a Realtime Gaming (RTG) platform, Americans will find over 230 mostly slot games, with some video poker, specialty and table games. Happily enough, players of live dealer casino games will also find live Blackjack, live Roulette and Live Baccarat from Visionary iGaming (ViG).

American players can find free play Cherry Gold Casino games, but they will need to register an account. Unfortunately, there are no free play live casino games, but you can join a table and watch a game in progress.

The cashier section is where players can make a USD deposit using a credit card like Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Alternatively, some Americans may prefer a Bitcoin deposit from their Bitcoin wallet. Players can withdraw in US dollars using their Visa, Mastercard or wire transfer.

Although the casino does not display a Curacao license logo, they do claim to be licensed there. We would feel more comfortable with the seal displayed somewhere on the site. In terms of security, the site uses SSL encryption to keep information in transit secure.

We’ll take a look at all aspects of this online gambling site and see how it measures up to many of the other best casinos available online.

CASINO REVIEW OF CHERRY GOLD CASINO

Cherry Gold Casino uses a theme of wizards and magic through illustrations on the home screen, creating a fun mood. The major classifications of games including slots, table games, video poker, specialty games and live dealer are displayed as well as numerous Cherry Gold casino offers too.

At the top of the screen, you can find promotions and a link to download the desktop version of the app. This version is compatible with Mac and Windows computers. Cherry Gold Casino mobile is available in instant play mode only as there is no mobile app available.

At the bottom there’s the Terms and Conditions but no FAQ, which would be helpful. The cashier button is available after logging into the lobby, with pages for deposits, withdrawals and coupons. The lobby displays main game category menus which allow you to filter by hovering over them. You can still access the T&C and do some other helpful stuff from the top-right burger menu.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

English customer support at Cherry Gold Casino is available 24/7, and there are three ways of getting ahold of someone. First, you can send an email to [email protected], which is good to do if you have a question that needs to be looked in to.

The second option is a live chat, which is the best way of getting a fast answer on a routine question. We spoke to a ‘Ron’ at customer support who was helpful. For urgent issues, Americans can dial 1-646-905-0496. It’s nice to have a dedicated customer support phone line as it is something that’s becoming less common to see.

CHERRY GOLD CASINO PAYMENT METHODS

Americans have a choice of US dollar deposits or Bitcoin deposits. To deposit US$, you’ll need a credit card, preferably Mastercard or Visa, but the casino also accepts American Express. The T&C notes a possible pass-through fee for processing a transaction, which is not the case on a US$ withdrawal.

Deposits are instant, hitting your currency player account in seconds. The first deposit is subject to a verification phone call, which protects the player as much as the casino from fraud.

Withdrawal requests are subject to review by the casino who will want to ensure none of the T&C were breached and that a minimum withdrawal is met, and doesn’t exceed the maximum amount allowed too. Remember that bonus money cannot be withdrawn until it becomes real money after satisfying the Bonus T&C.

The casino will ask you for documentation to verify your age and address, such as an ID card. A utility bill (less than 3 months old) or alternative document may be used to prove your residence. If a credit card was used, then a credit card authorization agreement must be filled, and a void check must be supplied. In the event of a wire transfer withdrawal, a payment verification form must also be completed. Fortunately, this process is only done once but will take up to 4 business days to complete.

It is essential to also enter information correctly when registering at the casino. Report a mistake as soon as possible and never lie about your age or address.

BONUSES AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

From the coupons section of the cashier, new players will find a welcome bonus on the first casino deposit as a welcome match option. Just for registering, a new player at Cherry Gold Casino can also qualify for a free spins no deposit bonus after verifying their email address.

The deposit + bonus playthrough requirement on a Match Bonus depends on the game. 3-reel slots, video slots, scratch cards, keno and bingo, is 30x where $1 wagered equals $1 of turnover. Card games have a 35x playthrough requirement, while roulette games have a 60x playthrough requirement. Each $1 wagered on a card game or roulette contributes $0.25 towards satisfying the wagering requirement.

Unless told otherwise, the free spins bonus has a 40x playthrough requirement on qualifying games: video slots, European Slot Poker, keno, 3-reel slots, scratch cards and bingo. There is no maximum cash out on free spins when combined with the Match Bonus. On its own, there is a maximum cash out of 5x the number of free spins on this type of bonus.

CHERRY GOLD CASINO SIGN UP NO DEPOSIT BONUS (FREE SPINS)

A no deposit bonus for free spins allows a player to play for free and maybe keep a little of their winnings. The current offer is as follows:

• 25 Free Spins on Cubee: Bonus Code: VERIFYME

A free spins no deposit bonus at Cherry Gold Casino has a 50x playthrough requirement and may include 3-reel slots, video slots, bingo, scratch cards and keno. The cash out limit can be as high as $100 but depends on the value of the bonus – all of the information required to claim deposit bonuses can be found easily too.

CHERRY GOLD CASINO WELCOME OFFER

• 270% Slots Match Bonus on the 1st deposit: Bonus Code: CHERRYSLOTS + 100% Cashback Bonus

PROMOTIONS, REFERRALS AND SPECIAL OFFERS

Regular players can also find Cherry Gold Casino promotions, including monthly match bonuses and free spins. By getting a friend to sign up and deposit at least $25, an existing player can collect a free chip.

CLAIMING YOUR BONUS

To claim a Cherry Gold Casino bonus, a player can head to the ‘Coupons’ section from within the cashier. Each option has a ‘Redeem Coupon’ button which you can click on before making your minimum qualifying deposit.

REWARDS AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

It seems hard not to find a casino offering Comp Points. Cherry Gold Casino’s Comp Points program works by awarding a player 1 point for every $10 in real money bet. Every 1,000 points are the equivalent of $1, and you’ll need at least 100 points to be able to redeem them. VIP players can earn more points depending on their class. As the casino does not provide info on their VIP program, you’re invited to speak to a VIP agent.

GETTING STARTED AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

1. As with all journeys, this one begins by signing up at Cherry Gold Casino at www.cherrygoldcasino.com. The big green ‘REGISTER’ button to the top right is not hard to spot. You can register a new player account in less than 10 minutes in 3 steps.
2. Step 1 involves creating a login name, password and email address.
3. Step 2 will ask for your first and last name, date of birth and your gender.
4. Step 3 requires a phone number and full address. You’re also given the choice of a USD or EUR player account.
5. By default, you will receive bonus and news notifications, but you can change that by unticking the box. The final step is to click on ‘CREATE ACCOUNT’.

LIVE DEALER GAMES AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

Cherry Gold Casino live dealer games allow players to experience the feeling of being in a land-based casino, from any location. A player can find live Blackjack, live European/American Roulette and Live Baccarat from ViG.

CASINO GAMES FOR REAL MONEY AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

Most Cherry Gold Casino real money games are also available in free play, except for live casino games. To play free games at Cherry Gold Casino, you will need to register an account first, but it only takes 10 minutes to do so.

It’s worth doing if you want to try a few of the games free before playing for real money because there’s no risk. The only drawback is not qualifying for bonuses and not being able to keep winnings.

ONLINE TABLE GAMES AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

Cherry Gold Casino table games include a selection of baccarat, blackjack with both European blackjack and American Blackjack too, and poker games (including poker variants with progressive jackpots). There are a few other games to bring the total to about 15. We hope to see the choice grow.

VIDEO POKER GAMES AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

The Cherry Gold Casino video poker selection is outstanding with over 50 to choose from, including Multi-Hand variants. You’ll probably recognize some like All American Poker, Deuces Wild and Jacks or Better – others which aren’t as easily accessible include the likes of Caribbean Stud Poker, Caribbean Draw Poker, Caribbean Hold’em Poker and other favourites too.

SLOT GAMES AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

Cherry Gold Casino slots are the biggest category of games and players will find a wide selection of themes, features and others to choose from. In this category, there is the popular network progressive jackpot Aztec’s Millions. At the same time, there are also several local progressive jackpot games.

SPECIALTY GAMES AT CHERRY GOLD CASINO

In this category, you’ll find American roulette, keno, craps and a few other games bringing the total to just under 10. This is another category of games that we’d like to see grow but does offer a number of titles with opportunities for big wins.

CHERRY GOLD CASINO MOBILE ONLINE CASINO

Cherry Gold Casino mobile is an instant play casino opened from an ordinary web browser. Thus, there is no need to download a casino app to your Android or iOS device. We counted about the same number of games as the desktop Windows/Mac version, which means most are fully optimized for handheld devices.

Navigation remains fluid, with a hamburger menu for games, promotions, help, options for registering or logging in.

WHAT WE THOUGHT OF CHERRY GOLD CASINO

Overall, we liked that Cherry Gold Casino delivered plenty of slots and video poker choices, even if they are only from Realtime Gaming. ViG live dealer games is another perk allowing players to experience live casino remotely from their desktop or mobile casino. As noted, the casino is weak in table games and specialty game selections, which is something we hope they will remedy.

Aside from a no deposit sign up bonus and match deposit, regular players will find regular match bonuses and other promotions that may also apply to cards or roulette. Although the slots playthrough is a little high at 30x (deposit + bonus), it’s getting harder to find lower.

A maximum cashout of $2,000/week is a little low, and the processing time is slow. We’re a bit surprised that Bitcoin withdrawals are not possible although Americans will find credit card withdrawals a handy option – the site has a good reputation with good payment method options and withdrawal options too – the customer support team is rated well and there are plenty of games to rival other online casinos.
