Cashbox Casino

Cashbox Casino Welcome Bonuses

“400% up to £2500 + 50 free spins,” screams the first banner you’ll see on the Cashbox Casino homepage, but is that what the casino actually delivers? Yes, it does, but with a lot more on top. Your first deposit of £20 or more is matched at 400% up to a maximum of £2500, and comes with the promised 50 spins. Second deposits of £20 or more get a 250% match up to £2500 again, and another 50 free spins on a different slots game. Third deposits (£20 minimum again) get 300% up to £2000 and 50 more spins, and fourth deposits (same minimum) get 150% up to £1000 and 50 more spins.

In total, then, that’s £8000 in bonus cash and 200 spins. Why does the homepage promise a lower figure? We don’t know, but this is the second Lava Entertainment casino we’ve reviewed in a row with that specific and weird issue. Strange under-selling of the headline figure aside, it’s a strong welcome promotion with an x30 wagering requirement attached. There’s a small, separate welcome promotion of “deposit £20, get £30 in free bets” for sports bettors.

Other Promotions

The only ongoing promotion at Cashbox Casino is advertised as “The Cashbox Elite,” which is a loyalty program. Within the “vault,” players are promised faster withdrawals, no-wager cash drops, secret promotions and other incentives, and it all sounds great. Unfortunately, we don’t know what we have to do to gain access. All the casino tells us is that a ‘Vault Manager’ will send us an invite ‘when the time is right,’ although we can get instant access if we prove we already have VIP status at another casino. To us, it sounds like a scheme that rewards high spending rather than actual loyalty, in which case it’s a shame there are no other ongoing promotions to fall back on.

There is, however, a “Shop,” in which players can spend their loyalty points on free spins, cash bonuses, and other little perks. We like the idea of having a degree of control over the bonuses we get, but we’re short on information again – Cashbox doesn’t actually tell us how much we need to spend to get a loyalty point, so we don’t know how well or badly-priced the items in the shop are.

What are the Pros and Cons of Cashbox Casino?

Featured Slots and Games

The top slots and games on the Cashbox Casino homepage are neatly divided into categories, making everything easy to find. If you want ‘Book of’ slots, your top choices are Book of Baba Yaga Tales 2, Book of Admiral, and Book of Aztec. For Hold and Win, it’s 3 Million BC, Wrath of Hephaestus, and Moon Sisters. For Megaways, it’s Hercules: Son of Zeus, Aztec King Megaways, and Old Gold Miner. In more broad and general terms, the most popular slots at the casino in general are Starlight Princess, Gates of Olympus 1000, Sweet Bonanza: Super Scatter, and Big Bass: Xmas Xtreme. That last one is a bit of an oddity, given that we wrote this review at the height of summer.

We mentioned in the pros and cons section that Cashbox Casino offers sports betting, which is something you’d never have guessed from the name, and is unusual for the Lava Entertainment network. The sportsbook is reasonably comprehensive, with a very strong focus on football. Away from that, there’s a live casino section headlined by Dragon Tiger and Galaxy Roulette, but lacking contributions from well-regarded providers like Evolution. The casino’s proposition is rounded out by a well-chosen set of crash games.

Withdrawal Options and Speed

Visa, Mastercard debit, and bank transfers are all accepted ways of making a withdrawal from Cashbox Casino, so the basics are covered properly. If you want to use an e-wallet, the named brands are eZeeWallet, Neteller, and Skrill, with Neosurf and Giropay also available. Crypto users can pick between Dogecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. Your choice doesn’t actually appear to affect the turnaround time for a withdrawal to be processed, though – it’s 48 hours across the board.

Customer Support and Licence

The chatbox at Cashbox Casino will provide basic answers to basic questions, but will also refer you through to a human advisor if it can’t handle whatever you’re asking it to do. We don’t mind that as a setup, and longer or more complex queries can always be emailed to support@cashboxcasino.com. The biggest problem at the casino is the same one we’ve seen at two dozen or more Cashbox Casino sister sites. The casinos claim to be covered by a Master Licence issued in Curaçao, but the given reference number (34389464EU) doesn’t match the formatting used by the island’s Curaçao Gaming Authority. We’ve checked with the regulator, and it’s never issued a licence to Cashbox Casino. We believe it to be unlicensed and unregulated, and the licence claim is misleading.

Cashbox Casino – The Verdict

Ask yourself one question. Is there any innocent reason for an online casino to claim to hold a licence that it doesn’t actually hold? Actually, you don’t even need to ask yourself that; we’ll save you the bother – the answer is “no.” That one factor means that nothing else at Cashbox Casino matters. Its bonuses might be OK, the games might be fine, and it might even treat players fairly once they’re through the door, but we’re never going to find out – there’s no way we’re going to spend money with a casino that’s misrepresenting its licensing status, and we don’t think you should either.
