Zodiac Casino serves up 240 of the best online casino games available anywhere in a smart and funky design that is user friendly and surprisingly sophisticated. Multiple language and currency support are a big bonus and players familiar with the Casino Rewards network will be happy to find that the VIP program is administrated through that site directly.
Promotions and VIP Treatment
Interested in winning $60,000? I thought so. Entering is simple: all you have to do is register a valid email account and create a real player account with a credit card on file... no necessary deposit amounts or a required wagers. This is how new players to the casino are greeted and it's a good indication of what to expect from there.
New Players:
If you haven't already played at Zodiac Casino they make a hard to resist case with 50 free spins on the Starscape video slot, without a required deposit. You'll have to download the software and register your information but no further commitment is required. If that was enough to get you playing and fired up about everything offered, including progressive jackpots, the 40% matching deposit bonus on a deposit of £100 is a good way to get started.
Zodiac Casino's VIP Program Details:
ZodiacCasino is a member of the Casino Rewards VIP program, which allows players to play at multiple participating casinos and pool the VIP points earned directly through the Casino Rewards site.
Every week casino rewards sends out a newsletter to the Zodiac Casino members about the up coming bonuses and promotions for the week. It's important to stay subscribed to the newsletter because opting out will disqualify you for certain promotions, like the $60,000 prize drawing.
The VIP program is well-known and respected for a reason and the offerings are pretty consistent. I like the weekly newsletter format that is easy to digest and keep things more simple than having to search promotions out or getting deluged under a monthly newsletter that you wind up forgetting about by the end of the first week anyway.
If you're well-connected or know other people who enjoy online casino games, it's worth checking out the Rewards Buddies referral program. If you play your cards right you can earn up to £1,000 for a direct referral, £300 for anyone that they refer.... and even more impressively a third level where you can make up to £100 for anyone that your friend's friend refers.
Software and Design
You might be cynical of a Zodiac themed casino but the designers pull it of with a sophisticated black and purple interface that has a bigger emphasis on functionality and technology than fantasy. I particularly liked that the homepage has an image of an attractive mature couple instead of a cartoon woman or barely legal models. The software behind it all is Microgaming's Viper platform with 240 games available and more being added regularly.
I really enjoyed the comprehensive games list (Under GAMES on the main site navigation) with each game linked to a page where the game was described in detail, particularly helpful when playing a variant of a more traditional game. It streamlined the amount of time I would normally spend checking out the games individually and made it easier to decide what I wanted to play and what my basic betting strategy would be.
Customer Service and Support
ZodiacCasino.com features all the latest 24/7 support features from FAQs and email to toll-free international numbers and Live Chat. The site is geared towards an international audience with both multiple currency support and a mirrored site in French. German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese players can download a version of the casino software that is full compliant with the desired language. Plans are in the works to add a Danish version sometime soon as well.
Banking
Overall I thought that Zodiac Casino was pretty player-focused but some of the banking policies rubbed me the wrong way. I know I expect a lot but a £50 withdrawal minimum just seems petty. The casino holds funds for 48 hours before the withdrawal times kick in. Additionally anyone (including new players) who have not made withdrawals before are subject to a verification process that can further delay your cash by 5-7 working days.
Withdrawal Times:
* Mailed Checks - up to 21 days
* Courier Checks - 3 to 6 working days
* Wire/DBT/Swift transfer - 6 working days (not available to US residents)
* NETeller - 1 to 2 working days (not available to US residents)
* EZIPay - 1 to 2 working days
* MoneyBookers - 1 to 2 working days (not available to US residents)
* Click2Pay - 1 to 2 working days
* The first CADEFT and ACH withdrawals take 5-7 working days
* Subsequent CADEFT and ACH withdrawals take 3-5 working days
Withdrawal Charges:
This means that the casino subtracts this amount from your winnings. Since the minimum withdrawal amount is £50, then in order to have it wire transferred you will need to withdraw a minimum of £80.
* Mailed Checks - free
* Courier Checks - £50
* Wire Transfer - £30
* Cancelled Checks - £25
Payment options include MasterCard, Visa, NETeller, Moneybookers, UKASH, Click2Pay, wire transfers, FirePay, ECOcard, PaySafeCard and direct bank transfers. Withdrawal options may not be the same as payment options and the casino encourages to select a preferred payment method immediately upon registration.
Security and Payout Ratios
Zodiac Casino doesn't publish their location or information about their management personnel but they do belong to the Interactive Gaming Council and are licensed by the Kahnawake gaming commission. They are also part of the GEOTRUST network of responsible online sites. eCOGRA verified their payout report for July 2007 as: 94.53% for slots games, 97.55% for table games and 94.22% for poker games, and 94.91% overall.
