Our ‘How We Review Casinos‘ page provides the foundation for our casino reviews, including this BravoPlay review. The page describes our methodology and why our reviews are divided into six sections:
- BravoPlay’s licensing, responsible gambling, and security
- Bonuses and offers from BravoPlay
- Payment methods accepted by BravoPlay
- BravoPlay’s game selection
- The user experience at BravoPlay
- Popularity of BravoPlay
BravoPlay’s licensing, responsible gambling, and security
Our methodology for reviewing online casinos in Canada begins with player safety and places a premium on protecting players. My BravoPlay review looks at the casino’s licence, responsible gambling page, and security features.
Legal gambling age
The legal gambling age in Canada is 19 years old, although in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec, the legal gambling age is 18. Online casino operators must ensure minors do not gamble and, therefore, verify players’ age.
Gambling is regulated at the provincial level in Canada. Québec’s gambling, for example, is regulated by Loto Québec.
Visit our Licensing page for more information.
BravoPlay’s licences
The only mention of BravoPlay’s licence is when registering for an account. Otherwise, the casino does not share any information about.
Responsible gambling in BravoPlay
BravoPlay has done a pretty solid job with its Responsible Gambling efforts:
- Options to set limits for losses and wagers
- Ability to set cooling-off periods or self-exclusions
- Access to transaction history
- Suggestion for a self-assessment
- Suggestions for Help organizations
- Helpful safer gambling tips
- Suggestions for parental control tools
The page is quite good, and the responsible gambling tools available are helpful. A few things are missing, though, and other things are just executed poorly.
For example, why not make the suggestions for Help organizations and parental control actual links to the websites being suggested? Why not provide the actual link to the self-assessment test? Why advise players to set deposit limits, but not offer them as limits players can set?
Addiction risk: play responsibly
Casino games are intended to be fun, but if players do not exercise safe play practices, gambling can become addictive and lead to harmful consequences.
We therefore encourage players to look out for the following signs that might indicate problem gambling:
– Chasing losses
– Playing more than planned
– Wagering more than intended
– Hiding your playing from others
– Borrowing money to gamble
If you recognize any of these signs, consider contacting one of the following help organizations:
– ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600)
– The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA)
– Responsible Gambling Council
What makes BravoPlay safe
I like to ensure casinos are being transparent about how it protects players, and this is what I found at BravoPlay:
- PCI DSS compliant
- Compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, and AML Policy
BravoPlay says very little about its website security in its Privacy Policy, and esentially nothing about it anywhere else. While it appears to be a reliable website, I’d like to see that there is a Data Protection Officer, two-factor authentication settings, and that SSL encryption is being employed. BravoPlay doesn’t reveal its truth about any of these.
My rating of BravoPlay’s licensing, responsible gambling, and security
BravoPlay is secure and has some excellent responsible gambling tools, but the casino shares little about its licence and website security.
| What I checked | Score | Why this score? |
|---|---|---|
| Licences | 2/7 | BravoPly is almost completely silent about its licence, which is from a middle-tier regulator. |
| Responsible Gambling | 6/7 | It’s a good Responsible Gambling page at BravoPlay, but there are things that could make it better. |
| Security | 3/6 | BravoPlay is fairly tight-lipped when it comes to mentioning its website’s security. |
| What’s the secret? |
|---|
| If BravoPlay were as transparent about its licence and security as it is helpful with its RG tools, this 11/20 rating would receive a large boost. |
Bonuses and offers at BravoPlay
Here, I turn my BravoPlay review to the casino’s welcome bonus, regular bonuses, tournaments, and VIP program to assess BravoPlay’s overall bonus program and casino bonuses.
Bonus risks
Players should be aware that bonuses come with wagering requirements that must be met to gain the bonus money. Often, they require players to bet the bonus amount 30 or 40 or more times over. Over 80% of players lose money with casino bonuses.
BravoPlay’s welcome bonus
BravoPlay offers new players a collection of casino welcome bonuses.
The full welcome bonus is up to $5,000 and 150 free spins on Gates of Olympus in conjunction with a player’s first four deposits.
The minimum deposit and wagering requirements shift with the deposits, but the requirements must be met within 7 days, regardless of the deposit. Let’s take a look at how this welcome bonus from BravoPlay works:
| Deposit | Minimum Deposit | Match % | Match Amount | Free Spins | Wagering |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | $20 | 125% | Up to $1,000 | 100 | 30x |
| 2nd | $20 / $81 | 175% / 250% | Up to $1,000 | N/A | 35x |
| 3rd | $20 / $66 | 200% / 300% | Up to $3,000 | N/A | 40x |
| 4th | $55 | N/A | N/A | 100 | 30x |
It’s a pretty great offer, I have to say. Yes, the wagering requirements could improve for deposits two and three, as could the time to satisfy them (7 days isn’t a lot), but the match percentages are pretty incredible. “Huge” would not be hyperbole to use to describe the match percentages or even the offer itself.
Regular bonuses
BravoPlay offers a plethora of regular bonuses to players in Canada:
- Daily Cash Drop: Players can claim a bonus made specifically for them every day, depending on their activity (25x wagering requirements).
- Golden Hour: Three times a day for an hour at a time, players can claim a 15% reload bonus with 25x wagering requirements. The Golden Hour bonus can be claimed alongside other bonuses.
- Weekly Cashback: Players are eligible to claim up to 15% cashback on all slots if they have confirmed their account and made at least one deposit during the week. Cashback comes with 15x wagering requirements.
In addition to the above, BravoPlay also offers bonuses specific to making deposits with e-wallets, making deposits with cryptocurrencies, and connecting to WhatsApp.
Promotion and tournaments
3 tournaments were running during my BravoPlay review. Each tournament was a network tournament and featured prize pools ranging from €25,000 to €10,000,000.
BravoPlay’s VIP/loyalty program
The loyalty program at BravoPlay offers a multitude of VIP casino bonuses across 7 levels players climb by reaching monthly deposit totals. Here’s how it looks:
| Red | Regent | Fancy Blue | Centenary | Golden Jubilee | Eternal | Cullinan | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly deposits | $500 | $1,000 | $2,500 | $5,000 | $10,000 | $75,000 | $150,000 |
| Level-up bonus (5x wagering) | $50 | $75 | $150 | $350 | $550 | $950 | $1,550 |
| Birthday bonus | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Monthly free spins | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | 100 | 120 | 200 | 250 |
| Referral bonus | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 20% | 30% |
| Weekly cashback | Up to 7% | Up to 7% | Up to 9% | Up to 10% | Up to 10% | 13% | 15% |
| Daily rakeback | 1% | Up to 3% | Up to 2% | Up to 3% | Up to 3% | 5% | 7% |
| Weekly rakeback | 1% | ❌ | 1% | ❌ | 1% | 4% | 7% |
| Monthly rakeback | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | 1% | 1% | 5% | 7% |
My rating of bonuses available at BravoPlay
There’s a lot to like with BravoPlay’s bonus program, but it falls short of perfect.
| What I checked | Score | Why this score? |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome Bonus | 6/7 | BravoPlay could improve its wagering requirements a bit, but the casino’s welcome bonus is nothing short of “huge.” |
| Regular Offers | 2.5/4 | Daily free spins and reload bonus opportunities are great, but I wish BravoPlay’s offers were more rewarding. |
| VIP/Loyalty Program | 3.5/4 | BravoPlay has an excellent loyalty program, offering numerous benefits to players. The deposit requirements to climb the program are pretty demanding, though. |
| Always a hair off |
|---|
| BravoPlay has done a great job of keeping players lubricated with bonuses regularly, even if the offers could be better, and earns a 12/15 rating. |
Payment methods at BravoPlay in Canada
BravoPlay accepts a variety of casino payment methods in Canada, although not many for both depositing and withdrawing:
| Payment Method | Min Deposit | Max Withdrawal | Average Deposit Time | Average Withdrawal Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interac | $30 | N/A | Instant | N/A |
| Visa | $20 | $3,000 | Instant | 3-6 banking days |
| Mastercard | $20 | $3,000 | Instant | 3-6 banking days |
| Apple Pay | $20 | N/A | Instant | N/A |
| Neteller | $20 | $3,000 | Instant | 2-5 banking days |
| Neosurf | $20 | N/A | Instant | N/A |
| Bank transfer | N/A | $4,000 | N/A | 4-8 banking days |
| Skrill | N/A | $3,000 | N/A | 2-5 banking days |
| Paysafecard | N/A | $3,000 | N/A | 2-5 banking days |
| eZeeWallet | N/A | $3,000 | N/A | 2-5 banking days |
Financial risks
Gambling involves real money. It involves financial risk. Casinos do not open their doors without being favoured to win, which means most players lose over time.
This is a reminder to set limits before playing and only gamble what you can afford to lose.
Minimum deposit and withdrawal processing times
The minimum deposit amount at BravoPlay is $20, and the minimum withdrawal is $45. Those are fair minimums.
Withdrawals are processed by BravoPlay within 3 business days, although payouts can take longer to reach players’ accounts.
Cryptocurrency accepted at BravoPlay in Canada
BravoPlay accepts a reasonable number of cryptocurrencies in Canada:
The dangers of using cryptocurrency
Playing with cryptocurrencies comes with risks, as their values are highly volatile and fluctuate rapidly. The Government of Canada, the Bank of Canada, or other financial institutions do not back crypto. Crypto is not stable nor guaranteed, which leaves users vulnerable to losing large amounts of money.
We strongly recommend setting financial limits and investing only what you can afford to lose.
Important information to know when withdrawing from BravoPlay:
- Deposits must be wagered twice before being withdrawn.
- Players must complete BravoPlay’s Know Your Customer (KYC) process before a withdrawal will be approved. That process consists of the player sharing the following documents with the casino, which can be done in advance through the player’s account profile:
- Photo ID document
- Proof of address
- Payment method verification
- Selfie verification
Step-by-step guide on how to withdraw from BravoPlay
- Click your profile in the top right.
- Select the “Withdraw” tab.
- Enter the withdrawal amount.
- Choose your payment method.
- Input any additional information related to the chosen payment method.
- Click “Withdrawal.”
My rating of BravoPlay’s payment methods
Nothing about BravoPlay’s banking services is worth complaining about, but there is room for improvement.
| What I checked | Score | Why this score? |
|---|---|---|
| Payment Options | 5.5/7 | BravoPlay accepts a good selection of payment methods, although different methods are accepted for depositing and withdrawing. |
| Minimum Deposit & Payment Processing Times | 3/4 | The minimum amounts at BravoPlay are fine, but the processing could maybe be faster. |
| Cryptocurrency | 3/4 | BravoPlay accepts a reasonable number of cryptocurrencies in Canada. |
| All-around coverage |
|---|
| BravoPlay has done a good job of providing its players with all-around banking coverage, despite there being some shortcomings that result in an 11.5/15 rating. |
BravoPlay’s games selection
Now I turn my BravoPlay review to the casino’s selection of games. I’ll look at the online slot selection, live casino, and the providers working with BravoPlay.
Casino games warning
Players need to keep in mind that casino games are games of chance. While licensed games are tested by third parties for fairness, they are also weighted in favour of the casino. The house always has an edge. Most players, therefore, lose over time. It’s why we like to remind players that casino games are a form of entertainment, not a source of income.
Recommended slots you can play at BravoPlay
More than 6,000 online slots fill BravoPlay’s library with quality fun. The casino features several rooms for collections like megaways slots, lotteries, and crash games, which help players navigate the selection. I still wish the casino did more of this, adding categories for high volatility slots, cascading slots, and for themes, like fishing, Egypt, adventure, etc.
I found some of my favourite slots available at BravoPlay, though, so I recommend giving these a spin:
The live dealer tables at BravoPlay in Canada
I was surprised to see that BravoPlay does not have a live casino selection. While there are table games, including blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and poker, none of the tables are live dealer tables. This means that BravoPlay does not feature any game shows either.
Popular game providers BravoPlay works with
Nearly 70 game providers work with BravoPlay in Canada, including influential studios like Yggdrasil, Habanero, InOut, Hacksaw Gaming, 3 Oaks Gaming, Endorphina, Nolimit City, and Playson.
My rating of BravoPlay’s games selection
If you like online slots, BravoPlay offers plenty, but if you like live casino games, you’ll need to go elsewhere.
| What I checked | Score | Why this score? |
|---|---|---|
| Games Variety | 6/7 | BravoPlay has a large-ish selection of games that could use a bit more organizations. I didn’t find any exclusive games either. |
| Live Casino Experience | 0/4 | I was surprised to find that BravoPlay did not offer any live casino games. |
| Game Providers | 3/4 | Nearly 70 providers are working with BravoPlay to curate the casino’s library. |
| A lot of spinning, but nothing live |
|---|
| BravoPlay’s library is flush with slot games, but lacks live casino options, resulting in a 9/15 rating. |
User experience at BravoPlay
My BravoPlay review now looks at the user experience. I’ll inspect the casino’s customer support, website navigation, and performance on mobile devices.
BravoPlay’s customer support
BravoPlay has a dense FAQ page that is quite useful. If that fails you, then try the casino’s 24/7 live chat. I received support that was a bit slow, but it did sort out my issues. Alternatively, players can contact the casino’s support via email or its social media profiles.
| Contact | Average Answer Time | |
|---|---|---|
| [email protected] | 24 hours | |
| chat | 24/7 live chat on the website | 3-12 mins |
| https://www.instagram.com/bravoplayhub | 24-48 hours | |
| https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559004126479 | 24-48 hours | |
| Telegram | http://t.me/bravoaccount | 24-48 hours |
User navigation at BravoPlay
BravoPlay has a simple interface that is intuitive to use. The casino makes good use of the footer, although I would like to see it organize its library more thoroughly.
I noticed that BravoPlay’s footer includes a “Live Dealer” section, but the room is full of video tables, not live tables. That’s deceptive. When I approached the casino’s support, they avoided answering me properly (ok, they found 3 live tables by searching “live” in the search bar, but that is not enough for me to respect the casino in this regard – not a chance).
BravoPlay mobile experience
BravoPlay claims to have a mobile app, but the function really just installs a shortcut on your mobile browser.
Still, the casino is fully optimized for mobile use and performs well on phones and tablets.
My rating of BravoPlay’s user experience
BravoPlay’s customer support is slow, but the casino has many support channels to provide a decent user experience.
| What I checked | Score | Why this score? |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Support | 5/7 | BravoPlay has good support channels and a thorough FAQ page, but the live chat support is slow. |
| User Navigation | 2.5/4 | The website is designed just fine, but BravoPlay seems confused about what live games are, leaving a deceptive menu. The game library needs more organization too. |
| Mobile Experience | 3/4 | BravoPlay is a fully optimized website that can be installed as a shortcut on your mobile browser. |
| Well, that doesn’t work |
|---|
| The live support agents were slow, but it was also frustrating trying to discover BravoPlay’s live casino. Not all was bad, though, as the casino earned a 10.5/15 rating. |
Popularity of BravoPlay
As my BravoPlay review approaches its conclusion, I turn to the public sphere to mine a sense of the casino’s standing in the public eye.
| What I checked | Score | Why this score? |
|---|---|---|
| Player Reputation | 5/10 | BravoPlay is getting points because the public doesn’t have an opinion on the casino that I could find. It gets points for not having a bad opinion about the casino. |
| Market Visibility | 2.5/10 | I want to give BravoPlay zero points here, because they were not found on TrustPilot or on Reddit, but the casino does have a decent social media presence, so that has to count for something. |
| It needs more presence |
|---|
| Almost every casino I’ve reviewed, I’ve found reviews on TrustPilot, except for BravoPlay. That doesn’t sit well with me, even if the casino is present on social media. The casino earns a 7.5/20 rating, which is generous. |
Bravo, but not for everything
I am happy to stand and give BravoPlay a proper bravo when considering the casino’s bonus program.
Beginning with the welcome bonus, BravoPlay offers players numerous offers with fair wagering requirements. In fact, some of the regular bonuses have wagering requirements I would consider low, and it’s rare that I consider saying that.
The loyalty program, too, is friendly and gives players opportunities for even more bonuses with even lower wagering requirements.
The multitude of payment methods, including cryptocurrencies, that BravoPlay accepts is worth another bravo.
The more than 6,000 slots are worth another.
Of course, not everything is coming up bravo-worthy. The biggest blemish BravoPlay wears is its lack of live casino games (or its incredibly minute selection of live games that is very difficult to find).
The casino fell short in a few other ways, leaving my BravoPlay review to conclude with a 61/100 final rating.
