Colosseum Casino

Full Colosseum Casino Review

Colosseum is one of the longest-running online casinos having launched back in 1999. Colosseum has always featured games from Microgaming but now also includes hundreds of additional games for members to play from various game-designers such as Evolution, Fortune Factory, Foxium, Gameburger Studios, Ingenuity Gaming, Just For The Win and many more.

Colosseum's download-to-PC version is no longer available and already downloaded editions of the casino do not now operate. To continue playing at Colosseum Casino, you'll need to use your normal computer browser or mobile device.

The longevity of Colosseum isn't the only strong point for this casino - Colosseum is just one casino within the popular Casino Rewards group which also contains Aztec Riches, Blackjack Ballroom, Captain Cooks, Casino Classic, Casino Kingdom, Casino Share, Cosmo, Golden Tiger, Grand Hotel, Grand Mondial, Luxury, Players Palace, Quatro, UK Casino Club, Villento, Yukon Gold and Zodiac. Click to read our review of any that take your fancy.

The following is a list of more online casinos in the same group that we don't (yet) have a review page for at Casino-Download.com: Challenge, Golden Reef, Lucky Emperor, Music Hall, Nostalgia, Phoenician, Rich Reels, Vegas Country, Vegas Slot and Virtual City.

One of the excellent aspects of Colosseum is that this casino frequently obtains exclusive early release of games weeks or months before they appear on other online casinos, giving Colosseum's members first-shot at some of the best new game titles and progressive jackpots.

Sign-up welcome bonuses at Colosseum

Regardless of if you are using the computer browser or mobile casino, Colosseum offer all new members optional welcome bonuses on your first five deposits - as you'll see in our image above. Overall, the five bonuses offer a maximum of $/€750 in bonus money.

Our image explaining the five bonuses is pretty straightforward but we'll go through them anyway for clarity. Note that although the image only lists the bonuses in US$, players using other currencies can claim the exact same welcome promotions in CA$ or EURO€. The minimum qualifying deposit to claim each of the five welcome bonuses is just $/€10.

Your first deposit gets the best of the bonuses with a 100% deposit-match bonus up to $/€100. Your second deposit earns a 50% bonus up to $/€200. Your third deposit at Colosseum will credit you with a 30% bonus up to $/€150, followed by a fourth deposit bonus of 20% up to $/€100. Finally, make your fifth deposit at Colosseum Casino to receive a 10% bonus up to $/€200.

Note that if you choose to accept the welcome bonuses (and do remember that they're optional) then you should definitely take some time to read Colosseum's terms and conditions. This isn't just covering your bases - there are some easy to trip-over bonus terms and rules that you HAVE to be aware of. These include 'Placing single bets equal to or in excess of 25% or more of the value of the bonus credited' and 'Using the double-up feature to increase bet values' so it's essential that you know the score before you take those lovely bonuses and hit the tables without knowing the rules, potentially losing any winnings in the process. So read the rules. Or if you can't be bothered with reading them, decline the bonuses and simply play with your own money and freedom.

There is also the small matter of x200 wagering requirements being applied to both your first and second deposit bonuses. x200 is almost unheard of, even for NO deposit bonuses! It's insanely high and not worth accepting, in our opinion. Subsequent bonuses get a more realistic x30 wagering target but if you want to get there, we strongly recommend only betting the minimum deposit of $/€10 to claim your first and second bonuses to get those unrealistic x200 terms out of the way.

Quality website and player guides

Most online casinos have - to put it mildly - websites that should be improved. Usually there is very little in the way of playing or learning the rules if you're a newcomer. None of that applies at Colosseum Casino where there is an extensive FAQ section.

In addition to the FAQ section, Colosseum goes a step further than almost any other online casino by providing a really well-written and clearly explained write-up of various casino game terms and what they mean. Take a dive into the 'Casino Games' part of Colosseum's website and you'll likely be impressed with what the casino has done to assist players in understanding everything they need to know before playing for real money.

For example, the slots section explains exactly what is meant by free spins bonus rounds, scatter symbols, bonus rounds, wild symbols, gamble features and progressive jackpot slots. The same applies to table games such as blackjack and roulette with helpful pointers for those new to the games. It's something we're surprised more online casinos don't provide for new potential players and is another tick in the plus-box for Colosseum.

Recommended?

Colosseum Casino has been online forever (almost) and has one of the best selections of games you'll find anywhere. Customer support is top-notch and available at all times, although the casino's excellent website means you'll probably have little cause for contacting them. Being part of the established CasinoRewards group, Colosseum is utterly trustworthy and when you win, you will be paid properly and promptly. Recommended.

Cashout limits

Unless you hit a streak of good fortune then you shouldn't need to worry about cashout limits and if you do reach the maximum payout of more than x5 your total deposits at Colosseum Casino then your cashout will be settled in $/€4000 weekly payments until you have received all your winnings. If you are mega-lucky enough to win a progressive jackpot (that could easily be in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions) then you won't need to contend with the weekly payout schedule - you'll be paid your entire winnings as one payment without delay. Not all online casinos pay progressive wins in their entirety regardless of the amount and Colosseum are following exactly the correct policy by paying out in full immediately.
