Flamantis Casino

Flamantis is the latest peculiarly named casino to burst onto the gambling scene, and whilst we are not totally sure about its dodgy name (what the hell is a flamantis anyway?) we are reassured by the fact that it does hold a full license issued by the UK Gambling Commission. The casino appears to run several brands of casinos software including the ever present Net Entertainment, Microgaming, PlaynGo and Betsoft. They also have a pretty good live casino, with a decent choice of games including high stakes games for players with larger bank rolls than us with some seriously high stakes games available – live Roulette has a 50,000 euro max bet, VIP Blackjack 5000 a hand, and most of the other table games have max bets of between 2500 and 25000 euros. For those of us who can only dream about placing bets that big, minimum bets start at just 0.5 euro per hand.

So apart from high stakes gambling, does Flamantis have anything else to set itself apart from the myriad of new casinos springing up? Firstly the welcome bonus is a pretty standard 100% up to £/$/€ 200 so nothing spectacular there. They also promise 50 free spins in addition to the match bonus but check out the small print and you will find that these free spins only apply to deposits over 50. Wagering requirements are 35x bonus in 30 days before bonus funds AND deposit amount are released to players real account. Free spins are only playable on Net Entertainment slots. Also make sure you enter the bonus code FA200 to ensure you get the bonus.

The weekly reload bonus makes things a tad more palatable with an offer of 50% of up to 75 but beware that a minimum deposit of 30 applies to this bonus. Again the wagering requirements are the same as the standard sign up bonus – 35 x. Live casino players can also claim a cashback bonus of 10% for every 100 wagered up to 100 once per day but be aware that you must be what the casino classes a “recreational player” and not a bonus abuser, and that wagers on baccarat do not apply for this bonus.
So, what do we like about this casino? Well it is well laid out and easy to navigate. A dedicated mobile version is also available with the same selection of games so you can play anywhere. Flamantis is also linked in to the Microgaming progressive network so the major jackpot slots like Mega Moolah, Major Millions and Cashsplash are available. The ability to select games from a choice of providers is refreshing as is the excellent choice of country specific deposit methods. No downloads are required so you can be up and running in no time. Lastly, the high stakes games will appeal to high rollers and those of us who can only dream of becoming one.

So what isn’t so good.
Well apart from the name (lol), some of those bonus terms are vague and could trip up the unsuspecting gambler. It appears that a 30 deposit is required to take advantage of most of the bonuses although their minimum deposit is just 10. Also the minimum deposit of 50 to qualify for a measly 50 free spins is excessive, particularly as they are only playable on the notoriously streaky Net Entertainment slots.

Good Point:
No downloads, instant play, live casino and dedicated mobile site
High stakes live casino
Games from several different providers
Excellent choice of deposit methods

Bad Points
Check the small print thoroughly when accepting bonuses.
Silly name
