Our Review of the Volta Casino

Depending on the type of player you are, there is a long list of aspects you would need to know from an online casino. Thankfully, in the case of the Volta Casino, that is easier because they already have a history and a lot of players who would testify about their quality.

Generally, there are six questions that you will need to answer, and be satisfied with the said answer if you want to know if any online casino is for you:

  • Does it have a license?
  • Can you register from your location?
  • Are there any predatory practices?
  • How good are the games?
  • How good are the bonuses?
  • Is the customer service satisfactory?

As you may notice, these are all in descending importance. Having good service means nothing if the casino doesn't have the licenses that protect your winnings. And, with the selection of operators we as players have received in the last few years, there are a few reasons why we can't ask for all six to be up to our standard.

Volta Casino Basics

Casino Volta was established in 2014, making it older than most online operators available in Canada now. It operates under the Curacao license, which has become even harder to obtain in recent years. Over the years, customer reports have been mainly positive.

As far as the platform goes, Volta doesn't have an iOS or Android app but has a very lean and to-the-point website that is easily accessible from every device, including older ones. The whole page is meant to get you to your games as quickly as possible, regardless of the quality of your connection.

When it comes to the game selection, this operator is mostly focused on slots. While there are table games, including several poker varieties, the choice of these can’t be described as exceptional.

But, when it comes to the slots, this online casino offers a wide range and has games from eighteen different iGaming software developers. Out of the 1500 games on the platform, over 1300 are slots.

Finally, because the casino operates internationally, support in English is available around the clock, every day, via the chat function.

How to Register?

The process is lengthy but simple. There are two parts, where first you need to submit your information and next you need to verify it. To start, there is a button called ''register'' in the top right corner, once you click that, you will only need to follow the steps.

First, you need to give your email and create a password for yourself. Generally, it is prudent not to use your regular password, but Volta has protection against hacking. After that, you will be asked to read the Terms and Conditions and accept with a ''Join''.

Then you will be asked about your personal information such as name, gender, date of birth, as well as a phone number. If you are signing up in Canada, this will need to be a Canadian phone number.

The third is your address, after which you will be able to select a promo code if you have one and opt-in to the newsletter if you want to get one in the future. That finishes the registration, and now you only need to verify.

To verify, you will need your ID (any official would do) and the last utility bill for your address. For some payments, you will also need proof that the account is yours. Once you submit that and contact customer support, you will be golden and can enjoy everything the casino has to offer.

The Selection of Volta Bonuses

Volta bonuses come in three varieties. Primarily there is the deposit match-up bonus that goes up to CA$ 300 and is worth 100% of your deposit on the first and third amount and only 75% on the second for some reason. This is very good compared to competitors.

Next are the free spins, which you will usually get through a promo code. These are very direct in what they do. And there is the birthday gift that will give you CA$30 every time that it’s your birthday.

The online casino also has a loyalty program, called the Volta Casino VIP Club, which offers regular cashback between a quarter of the amount and the full amount, as well as exclusive prizes.

All of the Games Available

This operator mostly favors slots. And there are a lot of slots at this casino, bringing variety between some very popular games and completely new contenders. Looking at the list of developers present with the company, most of the names will be instantly recognizable to long-time slot players. These developers are:

  • Microgaming
  • NetEnt
  • Play ‘N Go
  • Pragmatic Play
  • BetSoft
  • Spinomenal
  • AuthenticGaming
  • Amatic
  • PGSoft
  • Playson
  • Quickspin
  • Booongo
  • NoLimit City
  • Thunderkick
  • Belatra
  • Habanero
  • Igrosoft
  • 2by2 Gaming

The first on the list, Microgaming, has over 300 slots on the platform by itself. Some of the games present on the platform are Holiday Spirits, Book of Gold, Big Dad Wolf, Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, and many others.

Combined with table games, there are over fifteen hundred games in total, making the experience of playing very pleasurable as you can always find a game where you'll like both the mechanics and the visuals.

What Can You Use to Deposit and Withdraw?

While Volta Casino is not the most acceptable option when it comes to payment and withdrawal, it is probably the best when it comes to cryptocurrencies. Not only is crypto accepted on the platform, but it is also the fastest way to both buy in and take out your money.

Currently, there are twelve options when it comes to banking with Volta:

  • Visa
  • MasterCard
  • Interac
  • InstaDebit
  • iDebit
  • MuchBetter
  • Bitcoin
  • Tether ERC-20
  • Tether TRC-20
  • Litecoin
  • Ethereum
  • Ripple

Some other credit cards might be used as well, but for that, you will need to contact customer support and ask if those options are available. For those who want to play with crypto, it is one of the easiest options to use.

Additionally, the minimum deposit is the smallest with crypto, being only 0.0002 BTC or ~10 CA$.

Safety and Anti-Predatory Practices

Because Volta operates with both crypto, digital payment, and credit cards, there is a high emphasis on security. The connection is encrypted with a 256bit SSL certificate, and there are limitations to how much you can take out, in, or even how long you can play at once, preventing addiction.

Additionally, because of the very vigilant customer service and a lengthy verification process, there is no chance for those who are not adults to play, or for anyone’s identity to be stolen as to move money through the platform.

Customer Service

While customer service is not something most people think about when you mention an online casino, it is a very important part of the overall experience. The live chat is available around the clock, and there is an email option.

It is noticeable that English might not be the native language of the people conducting customer support, but they are very professional and know exactly how the platform works and how it can be managed.

If you don't want to chat, there is also an email available, and whatever you send will be viewed within 24 hours and receive a complete response.

Conclusion

Our experience with Volta Casino is generally reasonable. The platform has all of the necessary paperwork, and the fact that you need to verify your information should be seen as a benefit when it comes to safety and security.

As far as the page itself goes, it is generally rudimentary, with only the basics available and not a lot of options to change your user interface. This makes it light and easy to manage but not visually appealing.

The games are good and focused on slots players, with a moderate selection for table game lovers. There are a lot of premium developers, as well as popular games, but there might be some undiscovered gems as well.

Volta bonuses are good, with the deposit bonus working multiple times. The loyalty club is significant, and the birthday gift is nice.

Finally, banking, especially for those who use crypto, will be the main point for playing in Volta Casino.
