Why play at bgo?

bgo (be-go) casino offers players a huge variety of games in a fresh and innovative way - the casino is set up in distinct sections, each of which caters for a specific aspect of online gaming. bgo Casino is an excellent slots casino and table games room, bgo Live offers one of the clearest and freshest Live Dealer casinos around and bgo Bingo caters for those who love their dibbers and dabbers and are looking for a fix 24/7.

bgo offers new players two welcome bonus offers - 10 free spins on registration and 100 free spins on your first deposit.

The site is bright, vivid and clean, with each of the separate sections clearly colour co-ordinated, so you always know which 'room' you're in. Scroll down the page and a 'sticky' colour bar remains at the top of the screen. Click on it and you're taken back to the room selection. All very smooth and easy.

bgo is not tied in with one software supplier, it offers games from over 10 different companies, meaning over 200 games in the Casino and even more in Vegas. As is normal, these are mainly slots, but there are some excellent table games (see 'Games' tab) and a decent selection of Live Dealer games.

bgo banking is excellent, with extensive deposit and withdrawal options, limits of between £10 and £99,999 on ALL deposit options and instant withdrawl options available.

bgo has a high public profile, due to its advertising deals with Verne Troyer (aka 'The Boss') and Paris Hilton, but that 'gimmicky' approach shouldn't detract from the fact that this is an excellent online casino.

bgo clearly understand that the modern casino player wants to choose from the very best games available, and seeks to satisfy that demand by offering the best games from over 10 different suppliers including Playtech, Microgaming, Net Ent, IGT and Next Gen. Far too often, online casinos are tied in to just one supplier and present the same content, repackaged in different branding, so one Playtech casino is very similar to every other, every Microgaming casino has the same range of games.

Credit goes to bgo for breaking this trend and offering players a great choice of games. As stated in the introduction, there's no need to download any software, the games run right in your browser. And you can play most games for FREE, without even having to register.

To keep this review simple, we'll discuss the games in total, though Slots players will find the best range in the Vegas room (turquoise), Table games players in the Casino (purple).

Slots games

Slots players at bgo should head straight to the Vegas room, where you'll get over 200 games from a multitude of suppliers. With so many games available, you need an efficient method of finding the ones you want to play. bgo does this very well - rather than the usual 3-reel / 5-reel categories, bgo sort their games into themes, so you can choose Movies & TV, Myth & Legend and Classic Favourites in addition to the standard selections.

Stand-out games are Rainbow Riches, Cleopatra and Da Vinci Diamonds, along with the ever-popular Starburst. bgo are hot on Progressive Jackpots, too, currently offering over 30, including 88 Fortunes and Wolf Run.

Table games

In the Casino room, bgo offers a great selection of Table games, with enough variety to satisfy even the most specific of player.

They have 10 Blackjacks, including the Switch, Surrender, 21 Duel and Double Attack Blackjack variations.

If you prefer Roulette, you're even better off, as they offer 17 different versions - European, French and American, but also themed Roulettes (Age of Gods) and some exciting versions like Pinball, Video and 3D!

They also have Baccarat, Pontoon, 3 Card Brag, and 14 Video Poker games, though sadly none of our 'Asian' games, Sic Bo, Pai Gow or Keno. These are fairly common games these days, and it's a shame bgo don't offer them.

By separating the table games from the rest, it is easy to sift through the list, find the game you want and play. And by using more than one software provider, bgo keep ahead of the competition to ensure gaming is varied, exciting and up to date.

Live Dealer games

Live Dealer games at bgo casino

bgo offers a good range of Live Dealer games, powered by Playtech Europe - a great choice, shared by other big hitters like betfair and bet365. Playtech sends its live stream from their studio in Riga, Latvia. They've invested well in the technology, ensuring the feed is fast and clear with no lagging. bgo include Playtech's Live Roulette (2 games) Blackjack (2), Baccarat and Casino Hold Em.

There are 6 Baccarat tables to choose from (including No Commission) with table limits of between £0.50 and £5,000 (VIP) and is available 24/7 with unlimited seats. Each game takes 49 seconds on average, giving an excellent 73 games per hour.

bgo offer 11 Live Roulette games, but to give players something a little different, they also include Prestige Roulette. This is very similar to the late night Roulette you see on TV, where the dealers are slightly more laid-back and interactive with the players. It's entertaining, but if you want a more sophisticated Live Roulette game, you have plenty of choice from the other ten Live Roulette games.

With Blackjack, there are ten tables available 24/7, but tables are often full, so you may have to wait for a seat. Having said that, most tables offer a Bet Behind facility, so you can bet while you wait! Once playing, table limits range from £1 to £250.

In addition to the games mentioned above, bgo also offer Live versions of Three Hi-Lo and Casino Hold Em, again proving that their aim is to offer a selection over and above what's available elsewhere.

100 Free Spins

bgo offers two bonuses for new players - one on first registration, the second on making your first deposit. The registration bonus is 10 free spins on selected games.

You may withdraw your winnings and cash balance at any time without restriction, except where necessary to comply with any general regulatory obligations.

Whilst bonuses for new players are interesting, longer term players need more. As an incentive for loyal players, bgo also offers a feature it calls The Vault - a rewards scheme where when you play more, you get more.

As you play, you can watch your Boost Bar fill up. Each time it's full, you move up a Level and unlock 1 new Boost. The Boss will drop your Boost into your personal store, called The Vault. Open The Vault by clicking on the 'safe' icon at the top of your screen. Here, you can see all the Boosts you’ve unlocked and their reward value.

Deposit and withdrawal options

bgo Casino banking options

Banking is another area where bgo have put in extra effort in order to provide players with the best possible service. Understanding that players in different countries face different challenges, bgo have specifically identified easy deposit methods for each currency (EUR, GBP, NOK, SEK).

There are 10 deposit methods available, including Visa and Mastercard credit cards, ewallets like Neteller, Skrill and Ukash, and even Pay by Mobile. To make things easy, you can see which options are available to you when you log in to your account and click on 'Deposit'.

Deposit options are instant and allow deposits of between £10 and £99,999 - excellent news for high rolling players, who often find it hard to drop that kind of money online. For any deposit below £500 (or currency equivalent), an additional tax offset fee of 2.5% of the deposit amount will be charged across all payment methods except Boku (Pay by Mobile). A minimum fee of 50p will apply.

There is a fee of £2.50 for all withdrawals, with a minimum requirement of just £20. Although ewallets allow withdrawals within one day, credit card users may be a little frustrated by having to wait between 3 and 5 working days to receive their winnings.

Notwithstanding the withdrawals timescales (which are not that uncommon) the time and effort bgo have put into this essential area of their business means they earn a 4/5 rating for Banking.


Reputation and Trust

Maltese Lotteries and Gaming Authority

Trust is non-negotiable when playing at an online casino, and bgo have that principle at their core. No-one wants to play at a casino where you have little to no chance of winning. To prove that point perfectly, bgo have a 'RTP' (Return to Player) page showing exactly what % of money taken in is paid back to players - see the latest figures here: bgo RTP.

In the past, some 'rogue' online casinos had vague references of being 'licensed by the xyz' Gaming authority, or being operated by 'ABC ltd'. bgo leave you in no doubt as to their trustworthiness by showing the exact licence numbers of themselves and their operating companies, and providing physical addresses - should you want to visit!

bgo is licenced and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission and the British Gambling Commission - click here to see bgo's account.

bgo uses the latest in industry approved Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology (used by a large number of banking corporations) to ensure your information is kept safe, secure and fully encrypted. All player funds deposited are ring-fenced in a separate account which is isolated from other company accounts.

A nice feature at bgo, which demonstrates their responsible attitude, is that players are given the option of setting their own deposit limits to ensure that they stay within their means. Any help required with this issue can be found on the website.

Good customer support is essential for any online casino and this is an area where bgo have improved, but still have work to.

We were critical in the past of their limited live chat hours and no phone supprt, but bgo have partially addressed this, making live chat available to players from 8am until midnight 7 days a week, with the intention of making live support available 24/7 in the near future.

In the interim, player issues outside of these hours can be dealt with via written letter or e-mail.

Whilst this is an improvement, an online casino really should have Customer Support available during the hours when players are most likely to be playing! Imagine having an issue at 1am and having to wait until the following morning for assistance.

This lack of 24/7 cover means that unfortunately we can only give bgo's Customer Suppoer a 3 from 5 rating.


bgo Casino - summary

At Fortune Palace, we like casinos that offer something different to players. It is our belief that bgo casino do this very well via their unique multi-product approach. In addition to the three casino rooms described above, bgo also offer dedicated rooms for Games and Bingo, clearly demonstrating that they understand the needs of online gamblers in the 2000s.

They also prove this by offering rewards not just to new players, but also by rewarding the loyalty of long-term players with an inventive Loyaty 'hotel'.

They offer FREE banking with excellent limits and have a clear commitment to fairness and transparency.

it still needs to improve to put it in the top tier

When bgo first launched, we felt that their live support was too limited, but we're pleased to say that after various communications with them, they have added more hours to their live chat. We would like to thank bgo for their co-operation with this issue and hope that it increases players' enjoyment. Having said that, it still needs to improve to put it in the top tier of online casinos.

Despite that reservation, we are more than happy to recommend bgo casino to our regular punters, as it offers a uniquely enjoyable experience in a vibrant and 'fun' environment.
