Ignition Casino: The Oxford Dictionary describes the word ‘Ignition’ ”As the process of starting the combustion of fuel in the cylinders of an internal combustion engine.” The internal combustion engine here is none other than Ignition Casino.

The site is a crowd favorite with players because of its extensive list of RealTime Gaming (RTG), Rival And Makitone Gaming games which offer a robust variety of video slots, table games, video poker, progressive jackpot slots and specialty games (bingo, keno and scratch cards).

In addition to its healthy game library players will find that its bonuses are lucrative, a fantastic incentive program that rewards regular depositors and in our opinion it’s one of the best Bitcoin casinos for U.S players out there. The games are mobile friendly (Android, iPad, iPhone or tablet) and they can be played on desktops (PC Windows and Apple Mac) too. It’s something of an anomaly but Ignition Casino only accepts players from the United States. To play here, patrons must be at least 21 years or older.

”Ignition Casino garnered a solid reputation since its been in business especially for those who seek to avoid slow-pay or non-paying USA online casinos.”

PLAY AT IGNITION CASINO

It’s no child’s play operating an online casino since there are a slew of factors involved. Then again when players win it often results in repeat business which is good for the site. On the other hand if players keep on losing it can be bad for business. Ignition Casino has found a middle ground so to speak, its promotions have been tailored in such a manner that players get something back even if they’ve lost. Not only does this keep players happy but it ensures that they keep on coming back!

The operator is fully licensed and regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission located in Canada’s Mohawk Territory. One of the striking features about the Commission is that it doesn’t take any nonsense. In 2009 Ultimate Bet stepped out of line by cheating players, as a result the Commission slapped it with a hefty fine of £1.5 million and the operator had to pay back $22 million to its players. The crux of the matter is when you sign up and play here ‘Big Brother’ (Kahnawake Gaming Commission) is always watching.

Ignition Casino Bonuses And Promotions

‘‘With full throttle action and adrenaline fueled game play, our casino and poker room is where the action’s at its hottest.” Ignition Casino

There are 2 distinct bonuses available to new players. The first bonus up for grabs is a 100% match bonus of up to $2,000 of which $1,000 can be used to play slots. The other $1,000 bonus can be used to play poker. If you deposit $100 your deposit will be matched with a bonus of $200.

Then there’s a cracking Bitcoin bonus of 200% up to a maximum of $2,000 divided into a slots bonus of $1,000 and a poker bonus of $1,000. As you can see there’s a bonus available to fiat currency (dollar) players and to Bitcoin players. The same terms apply to both bonuses, a cash out will only be allowed once the roll over requirement of 25x the deposit and the bonus sum is completed. Players who accept the Bitcoin bonus can redeem it with this code ”IGBITCOIN200”

The bonuses cannot be used to play the following games: Baccarat, Craps, Double Deck Blackjack, Single Deck Blackjack, Roulette and Sic Bo. The following games count 100% towards the WR (wagering requirement) all slots and scratch cards. While like table games (blackjack excluded) contribute 60%, video poker, blackjack and classic blackjack count 30%.

‘Poker Points’ will be earned as well but this depends on the size of their deposit. For example, a deposit of $100 will solicit 1,000 poker points. Keep in mind that each bonus can only be redeemed once. The terms and conditions of both bonuses are amicable and within the industry standard.

Rewards Program

Ignition Casino’s VIP package to active players could best be described as the ‘Real Deal’, why? It’s divided into a staggering 8 levels starting with ‘Steel’ up to ‘Diamond’ level. As you progress to the next level so will the perks you receive too. Each level awards you cash back bonus on your losses, special and reload bonuses, comps, Bitcoin bonuses, increased withdrawal limits and a monthly bonus draw.

Comps Awarded:

You will earn 1 comp for every $1 you stake on slots and 1 reward point will be given for every $4 wagered on other casino games.

Monthly Bonus Draws

Players who earn at least 10 ‘Reward Points’ will stand a chance of winning one of four $500 cash prizes or the generous $1,000 grand prize in a draw.

Mobile And Casino Games

Slots

Ignition veered away from the proverbial “one casino one software developer” outlook. Its current collection of games could best be described as buffet-gaming, in other words players can pick and choose any game they wish to play. The casino teamed up with software providers such as Betsoft, Rival, Genesis Gaming and Realtime Gaming. The bulk of the games are offered by the latter vendor but players won’t be disappointed by the games of the other vendors. The bulk of its gaming suite consists of slots (160) and divided into Rival, i-Slots, progressive jackpots, 3 and 5 reels and video slots.

The pick of the RTG and Rival slot machine crop are Panda Magic, Snowmania, Jumping Beans, High Fashion, Paydirt, Enchanted Garden and Samba Sunset. The reason why we chose these slots is because they have a high-hit rate, they offer free spins features, decent jackpots and pick me bonus games (https://casinowhizz.com/realtime-gaming-rtg-loose-slots/). The slot machines with high-end graphics play well on mobile phones, however, should you experience any problems simply reduce the graphics settings.

The table game variety is equally impressive, here you can play blackjack and roulette variants, sic bo, craps, baccarat, Vegas Three Card Rummy, Texas Hold’Em, American Roulette, Classic American Roulette, Tri Card Poker and many more.

Blackjack

Players can play 6 blackjack variants:

• Standard Blackjack – This version of the game is played with 6 decks, insurance is not available and the dealer hits on a soft 17.
• Double Deck Blackjack – 2 Decks are used (better than the 6 deck version) which is advantageous to the player because it increases their odds.
• European Blackjack – Before the dealer receives the second the player must complete all his moves. It’s popular than its American counterpart and the dealer stands on a soft 17.
• Perfect Pairs – A side bet can be placed which pays as much as 25 to 1 if the player’s cards are a pair.
• Single Deck Blackjack – In my opinion the best blackjack variant since it offers the best theoretical return. Blackjack pays 3 to 2 and the dealer hits on a soft 17 which improves the odds of the player by a hefty margin.
• Zappit Blackjack – Any unwanted cards can be discarded and replaced with new ones.

Last but certainly not least is the video poker games, popular games are Aces and Eights, All American, Jacks or Better, Deuecs Wild, Double Joker Poker, Tens or Better and Joker Poker. The list is not as extensive as we would have likes but adequate nonetheless. They offer return to player percentages of 98% and above but you must understand the basic strategy of each video poker game and its odds.

Ignition Casino Deposits & Withdrawals

”I have played with Ignition casino for a long time. It’s the fastest to pay when a withdraw is requested through Bitcoin! I have withdrawn winnings through bitcoin with Ignition several times and they have always sent money in less than 48 hours. Most other casinos take any where from 7 to 20 days just to review your withdrawal request.” Bill

Like most USA casinos the banking options at Ignition Casino are pretty impressive. You can fund your account with Bitcoin, Visa, Amex, Rapid Transfer, check, Bitcoin or bank transfer.

We’re impressed with the manner in which the casino sends out checks for cash outs, it normally arrives within a couple of days by FedEx. One complimentary check is granted to players per month, extra checks will be charged a fee. For Rapid Transfer there’s a fee of $12, Amex 9.9%, Visa 5.9% and MC 7.9%.

At the time of writing the minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts were:

Check by Courier – $100 is the smallest amount that can be cashed out and the maximum withdrawal is $3,000.
Bitcoin – $20 is the smallest amount and the maximum amount that can be withdrawn is $3,000. Bitcoin cash outs are cleared once every 3 days.

If you want to cash out your innings it can be done via the casino’s dashboard. Players can only make one withdrawal every 7 days. If you already made a withdrawal via courier you’ll have to wait a week before you can request another withdrawal. However, if you’re using Bitcoin during this period you can request another withdrawal.

Customer Support

The staff at Ignition Casino can be contacted through live chat, email ( [email protected]), online form or telephone (1-855-370-0600) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I find the staff to be friendly and helpful. Just make sure that you include your username and the query you’d like the staff to address.

An online form is available to players where they must state the nature of their query and leave their contact details. I tested it and was quite surprised when I received a reply within 2 hours. It’s not bad per se but I’d like to see the operator reply to any query within 20 minutes tops.

Support normally responds to all queries within a couple of hours. The site’s responsible gambling section covers all angles and offers links to various sites free of charge. There’s a self-exclusion option where problem gamblers can cut them off from the casino for a certain period to indefinite.

Trustworthiness, Security And Fair Gaming

In any casino operation encryption plays an important role, Ignition Casino protects your information using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. It means that it scrambles your personal details making it impossible to read should the operator be hacked into.

We scoured the site for any audit report but did not find one. The operator does state that its software is safe, the RNG (random number generator) of its games are tested which guarantees its patrons a fair change at winning. To put your mind at ease this is one of the safest U.S online casinos we’ve come across in years.

In summary. The paint on Ignition Casino’s virtual walls are still wet and there’s still loads of improvement. Despite this it still remains one of the better sites for U.S players. It boasts a nice collection of games by different vendors, a solid rewards program, decent promotional offers and satisfactory support.
