Vave Casino Review

License and Security – Is Vave Safe & Legit?

The site operates under a CG license (reg num: GLH-OCCHKTW0702282021), and you can see that in the footer. It is operated by a well-established company (mentioned above) with a company registration number 153194. It uses the latest SSL encryption to protect your data and allows you to use two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra protection.

All games utilize certified random number generators (RNGs) to ensure that outcomes are random and fair. They undergo regular audits by third-party organizations to verify their fairness.

This operator offers anonymous gambling, so there’s no need to send in a copy of your I.D. However, in some cases, it might require a picture of you holding your I.D. or undergoing a form of verification via phone/video call.

Interesting to note, when searching for Vave.com, you might also find Vave.casino. Vave.com is operated by CHESTOPTION SOCIEDAD DE RESPONSABILIDAD LIMITADA, a company registered in Costa Rica, while Vave.casino is owned by TechOptions Group B.V. and licensed in Curacao. However, when we tried to access Vave.casino, we were redirected to Vave.com, suggesting the two platforms are connected.

User Experience on Mobile App and Website

It has a relatively friendly user interface. The dark background contrasts well with the understated pine green tones to give you a soft and smooth visual experience. The menu to the right is a little overpopulated, which makes it a little confusing to navigate, but the site makes up for that with clearly labeled navigation buttons.

The games are categorized for easy access, and the site has a search bar. All games have smooth gameplay, with the graphics and sound coming together to create a phenomenal gaming experience. One minor issue was that the site kept showing a 500 server error when logging in, which could signal hosting problems.

The site doesn’t have an Android or iOS-compatible mobile application. However, you can still use it on your phone or tablet because it’s highly optimized and intuitive, which makes playing on the go easy.

Registering an Account – Step-by-Step Process

There’s very little you can do here when you do not have an account. You need it to play live games, receive awards, and participate in the VIP program. Follow these steps to register:

1. Click on the green ‘signup’ button at the top left side of the site.
2. A registration form will pop up asking for details, asking for a Nickname, Email, and Password.
3. Fill in the details and the promo code if you wish to receive the deposit bonus.
4. Confirm that you’re older than 18 by ticking the box, and click sign up.
5. The site will open up immediately and prompt you to deposit funds and start playing.

Bonuses & Promos

The crypto casino has a basic bonus system with only 2 slot-oriented bonuses for new players. Vave also gives sports bettors a competitive sports bet bonus of up to 1 BTC. The added value of the bonus is 1.5 BTC which is more than $30,000. There’s also a VIP program with 18 levels. While the casino has a “complete” package, it could do a better job in offering more retainer types of bonuses.

Welcome Bonus of 150% up to 1.5 BTC + 100 FS

When you make your first deposit, you’re prompted to select between a casino or sports 1st deposit bonus, giving you a 100% bonus of up to 1 BTC. The casino package is slightly bigger, and it gives you a 150% bonus up to 1.5 BTC and 100 Free Spins added in batches of 25 over four days. The minimum deposit value is $20 USDT, and the wagering requirement is 40x.

If you select the sports bonus as your welcome package, you need to place bets with a stake ten times your deposit in accumulator bets and have higher odds than 1.7. Compared to other casinos, the bonus is attractive but doesn’t have a wow factor.

Other Promotions

The only other promotion available on Vave is Thursday’s reload bonus, which gives you 100% up to 2500 USDT. The rules and requirements are the same as the previous bonus with a 40x wagering requirement.

VIP Program

Vave Casino has two separate VIP programs focusing on casinos and sportsbook users. The sports one is a 7-level program, and for sports bets, you can get up to 10,000 USDT each month if you reach level 7 with 500,000 CP. In addition, C.P. points can be converted into 1 USDT at a rate of 100 CP. C.P. points for bets are earned at a rate of 1 C.P. point for every 10 USDT (or equivalent in cryptocurrency) wagered, with a minimum total odds of 1.3.

See below what you can get as you climb to higher tiers:

The casino bonus VIP program is organized into 18 levels and is even more enticing because players that reach level 18 can earn 100,000 USDT. For every 30 USDT spent, you receive 1 C.P. point with the same conversion rate of 100 CP for 1 USDT. At each level, players receive additional cash prizes and free spins. However, comparing the VIP program with other casinos is less rewarding than the traditional 10% rakeback system.

Here are the requirements for each level in the program.

Payment Methods

Vave is a crypto only platform, which means the only available payment options are cryptocurrency based. However, they have an Onramper that allows users to deposit fiat from their Visa Card, Master Card, Google Play or Apple Play. Changely is a third-party vendor that allows users to purchase crypto and have it deposited in their Vave Crypto wallet. The only withdrawal methods available are crypto-based.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Here is a step by step deposit and withdrawal process.

1. Click on the ‘deposit’ button at the top of the page.
2. A popup will appear with available deposit options. Choose your preferred coin to deposit from Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin, DogeCoin, Ethereum and the others.
3. If you have the crypto in a wallet, choose the direct deposit. The page will open a QR code that you can scan and get the address to send your crypto.
4. If you do not have the crypto, you can start by buying some using Changely by Moonplay.
5. Once you complete the purchase, the crypto will appear in your Vave wallet.

Game Selection

On their landing page, Vave shows that they have over 3000 games on top of the existing live casino games from 104 game providers, but they still need to include bigger, known providers to have a chance in the market. They do have Evolution Gaming on the live casino side. However, what was really good to see was the casino’s section of Bonus Buys, which not many gambling platforms have.

What’s from the interface is the RTP of the games, which is not featured anywhere on their website, nor is there mention of the implied house edge the casino applies to their games.

I did see new games being added, or that’s what it shows, but if we compare the casino with bigger players like Bitcasino or B.C.GAME, Vave Casino needs to add better providers to users that prefer high-quality games. The games fall under the following categories.

Slots

It has over 416 slots games to choose from. The most popular titles are Jungle Beats, Dark Wolf, Lady Wolf Moon, Book of Tribes, and Wolf Saga. You can also try Fire in the Hole, Sugar Rush and Gates of Olympus in the hot slots games categories. All games have a demo version to try before wagering your crypto.

Bonus Buy

The bonus buy program gives you the opportunity to access the bonus features of a selected number of slots games. You have to pay a premium in Euro or US dollars to acess any of the games listed in the category. Here are some titles you should try: Juicy Crush, Book of Ancients, Elvis Frog, Magic Spins, 9 Coins, Panda’s Wealth, and Release the Kraken 2.

Vave Games

This section has 5 original games made in-house. These games fall into a popular category that can be found on many other sites called “Crash Games.” The titles here are Crash, Plinko, Dice, Mines, and Coin.

Provably Fair

Vave itself develops four games, and based on the type of game, they’re actually provably fair since they are: Plinko, Dice, Mines, and Coin. Bigger decentralized casinos develop the same games, and they’re always based on RNG. Only this time, there’s no mention of RNG or any form of provably fair.

Live Casino

The live dealer selection is focused on Blackjack with over 230 available tables, and the casino has Roulette, Game Shows like Dream Catcher, Baccarat, and Poker.

Restricted Countries

Some countries have strict anti-gambling laws to keep their citizens out of gaming sites. Others don’t have restrictions, but their laws put gaming sites in legal jeopardy, which is why most opt to restrict them. These countries are restricted by Vave Casino: Curacao, Belarus, Latvia, Israel, Cyprus, UK USA, and Lithuania.

Customer Support

Support chat is available 24/7 in 6 languages; however, I’ve noticed that the response rate is slower than in other sites we’ve reviewed. You also have access to FAQ questions if needed, but they need to provide more quality answers and not only general know-how. Also, support staff also gave inconclusive answers when we asked them questions about the RTP. If you don’t get the answer you were looking for, you can also reach out to their support staff via email.

Final Verdict

It is hard to give a final verdict for a casino that offers a simple experience but offers confusing elements that start from the multi-page layout to the inconsistency between the information in the terms and conditions and the actual casino.

Vave doesn’t have the notoriety of the bigger providers needed to attract big players or the clarity around deposits or withdrawals, especially since it says that it takes up to 3 days to process blockchain withdrawals.

One positive aspect is the anonymous gambling part; however, if you’re seeking details from the live support staff, you’d be better off not counting on that. In my view that Vave Casino should be rated with a 3.1/5 score.
