Ignition Live Casino Review

In 2016 Ignition Casino has joined a family consisting of well-known brands such Slots.Lv and Café Casino which also target the US gaming community. The parent, Lynton Limited, is an experienced operator founded back in 1997. All gaming sites managed by this company were licensed under the jurisdiction of Kahnawake until 2016 but have since not been regulated by any licensing organization. Don’t be alarmed, though; each and every one of them has an excellent reputation in terms of security, fair play and payouts, and very few customer complaints. Ignition Casino is happy to welcome US players (except for those residing in the states of DE, MD, NJ and NV) and allow them to try their luck in the poker room and enjoy an assortment of top-quality RNG and live dealer games.

Ignition Casino is relatively new brand but, unlike some of the sites born at the same time and yet to prove their worth, it’s operated by a company with an excellent track record. If you compare its live game offering to other USA online casinos, it probably won’t score higher in terms of game variants but undoubtedly provides more tables than many of its competitors. Being Bitcoin-friendly is another mention-worthy advantage and players happy to use digital currencies will benefit in more ways than one. We also appreciate the fact that the operator’s support team works 24/7 and can provide instant answers via Live Chat.  

Sign-Up Bonuses

New members are offered a choice of a $1,000 Poker or Casino Welcome Bonus, and no matter which choose, the operator will double their first deposit. The deposit plus bonus amount is subject to a 25x play-through requirement which can be met by playing slots (100% contribution), video poker or blackjack (10%), roulette or baccarat (5%) and other table games (20%). Sadly, bets placed on live dealer games don’t count at all. Then there’s also a 200% Bitcoin Welcome Bonus (code IGBITCOIN200) worth up to $2,000. Same wagering requirement applies as above.

Native Live Dealer Tables

Like many other US-friendly online casinos, Ignition doesn’t feature live games hosted by dealers speaking any language other than English. If the latter happens to be your mother tongue, you won’t consider this to be a disadvantage. Still, you may be interested to know that the operator is “looking at the possibility of adding other languages in the future”.

Banking Overview

Though Ignition Casino offers players to pay via Bitcoin as well as credit cards, there are many reasons to choose digital currency over the alternative. Bitcoin payments are processed without any fees while the operator charges credit card depositors a fee of 5.9% (Visa, MasterCard) or even 9.9% (Amex). On top of that, the player’s bank may charge an international transaction fee of 3%. Bitcoin will enable you to deposit $10-$5,000 per transaction and credit cards $20-$1,500. Payouts can be requested via cryptocurrency and Check by Courier. One can ask for a Bitcoin withdrawal every 3 days and collect between $10 and $9,500 each time. The operator will allow only one Check payout per week and only one free withdrawal per 90 days; all subsequent payments will cost you $100. It takes 24-48 hours for payout requests to be reviewed and processed. If you pick Bitcoin, you’ll get your money within 72 hours; otherwise it may take 5-15 business days before funds make it to your address.

Mobile Platform

As long as you’ve got an iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows mobile device, you can hop in and out of your home without having to stop playing. It’s not to say that one should keep gambling 24/7 but isn’t it nice to know that all these fantastic live games are available whenever one feels like placing a bet or two. Ignition Casino doesn’t have a downloadable mobile app but its website is fully responsive and offers the same functionalities as when playing via desktops and laptops. Live dealer games powered by ViG are exceptionally well adapted to mobile play so you’re bound to enjoy them just as much.
