About Barbados Casino

Barbados Casino operates under the licenses issued by the Malta Gaming Authority, the United Kingdom Gambling Commission, and the Swedish Gambling Authority.

The Caribbean-themed user interface features a portfolio of online slots and table games and includes a live casino. Software providers such as Microgaming, NetEnt, and Evolution Gaming — plus a couple of dozen other studios — sign off on the content.

Besides multilingual support, a welcoming offer, loyalty program, mobile-friendly environment, a range of banking options, and iTech Labs certificate compounds the whole picture.

So, with the introductory segment under your belt, let’s check out dirkemans’ findings.

Registration: Nice & Easy

The tester registered at Barbados Casino on April 1, 2021.The online gambling destination utilizes the iDIN verification system for KYC purposes.

Therefore, dirkemans provided his details to the casino by logging into his online bank account using the hub’s link; the two business entities then interfaced and verified his identity.

Next, the tester created his account through a two-step sign-up process.

Firstly, dirkemans entered an email address and chose his username. Then, he supplied his personal information from ID and passport.

(Side note: This phase also allows players to set a limit on their deposits.)

The verification mail arrived in the tester’s inbox almost instantaneously.

But…

Since dirkemans forgot to select his gender in the default-set female or male, he contacted chat support to clear things up. The agent promptly replied, assisted in solving the mishap, and advised the tester to postpone withdrawal until casino staff has changed this detail.

A day later, dirkemans went on to check out the depositing methods.

Deposit: Efficient & Smooth

Among various banking options to choose from, the tester opted for Neteller.

The deposit of €170 was available on the tester’s casino account in a matter of minutes.

Barbados Casino followed up the transaction with an email momentarily, and the tester had just one more thing to do.

Namely…

…just as was the case in the PlayFrank Casino test — which also uses iDIN for player from the Netherlands — dirkemans left a welcome bonus box checked, which, in turn, activated mandatory wagering requirements.

As the tester wanted to play with straight cash, he again contacted chat support to reverse the bonus.

Ten minutes later, dirkemans was good to go and ready for the gameplay segment.

Gameplay: Diversity At Its Best

The tester kicked off his online slots session with NetEnt’s Hell’s Kitchen and then switched to Rain Balls designed by Skywind Group.

Next, dirkemans turned his attention to live casino and decided to have a few wheel spins at Nightclub Roulette by Authentic Gaming.

As the tester returned to pokies…

…he hit reels at Queen of Wands by Skywind, Stakelogic’s Gods of Secrecy, and then Four Femme Fatales — yet another release from Skywind Group.

Last but not least…

…dirkemans concluded his gameplay with Play’n GO’s Book of Dead.

After such a walkthrough and variety of selections, the tester was ready to commence the cashout sequence.

Withdrawal: Fifty Minutes

As was the case with the deposit, dirkemans used Neteller to cash out and requested €51. The transaction was charged a €1 fee.

Barbados Casino followed up the request with an almost instant email on April 2nd.

Forty-six minutes after the withdrawal request, the casino sent a cashout confirmation email. Two minutes after dirkemans received this notification, €50 were in his Neteller e-wallet.

All in all, in this test, the entire withdrawal process was over in less than an hour.

With this box checked as well, dirkemans ended his testing endeavor.

Final Thoughts: Pleasing Performances

The Barbados Casino test went on without handicaps and hindrances whatsoever on the operator’s part. The chat support was responsive and on the scope.

To that end…

The tester’s findings indicate a straightforward online casino experience.
