Ignition Casino

Ignition Casino caters to fans of digital currencies and is one of the rare gaming sites willing to welcome US players along with those residing in Australia. The Casino became part of the Lynton Limited family in 2016 and, same as its sibling’s Slots.LV, Café Casino, and Bovada operate with a license issued by the Curaçao eGaming Commission.

Ignition Casino promises to “get your adrenaline pumping as you dive right into the thrill of competition” with an offering that consists of three elements: a poker room, a selection of RNG casino games, and a Live Casino. The casino section provides a choice of pokies, table games, video poker, and specialty games supplied by Rival plus a few other popular developers, all instantly accessible online via desktops and mobile devices.

Recently added live dealer games powered by Visionary iGaming make the package complete. Ignition Casino uses SSL technology to encrypt private information sent via the internet and a pseudo-random Number Generator to ensure game outcomes are fair and can’t be foreseen.

Ignition Casino – My First Impressions

The Casino’s elegant, clean website uses red and orange details as well as high-quality pictures to brighten up a neutral grey background. A promotional banner positioned on top of the page advertises the welcome offer, and tabs placed immediately above allow visitors to access poker rooms, casino sections, or live dealer games. Scroll down and you’ll be presented with poker features such as anonymous tables, tournaments, bonuses, etc., followed by an overview of the most popular casino games, top table games, and progressive jackpots.

Moving towards the bottom of the page, a multi-colored banner invites players to browse promotions, learn about Rewards and the referral scheme, or view FAQs. Finally, there’s the usual line-up of tabs leading to Terms, About, Help, and Contact sections, and below them a filter that allows players to change language from English to Spanish or Chinese.

Ignition Casino Registration Process

The site uses a one-page registration form which takes less than a minute to fill in. Click on the red button positioned in the upper right corner and supply the required data:

1. Enter your first and last name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, and password, pick Australia from a drop-down country list, and enter your ZIP code
2. Click the box to confirm you’re of the minimum legal gambling age according to Australian laws
3. Submit the form by clicking on the tab labeled “Register”

Having done the above, you’ll be automatically logged in and can then proceed to the cashier or continue exploring what Ignition Casino has to offer.

General Ignition Australia Review

The website proudly advertising “the best online poker software in the business” enables Australian customers to play real money poker. Having downloaded free software, poker fans can claim Quick Seat for a game Texas Hold’em, Omaha, or Omaha Hi/Lo without having to surf the lobby and wait for a seat to open up. The Anonymous Tables feature prevents opponents from tracking them to figure out how they play and counter their strategies.

Poker and other table games can also be played within the Casino section along with close to 300 pokies, video pokers, and specialties, but also at Ignition’s Live Casino. Players can start their gaming adventure with up to $3,000 in bonus funds and will be earning redeemable loyalty points with each of their real money wagers. Choosing Bitcoin as a deposit option delivers multiple benefits which include free payments and better deposit/withdrawal limits. Getting stuck is not a major issue thanks to a group of competent individuals happy to assist and answer any time day or night.

Casino Bonus, Promotions, and Loyalty program

Loyal players will benefit from a rewards program based on a collection of Ignition Miles. You’ll earn them by placing real money bets and can cash them in for bonuses anytime you choose to. Earn rates depend on the game you choose to play: a single dollar wagered on pokies will earn you 5 Ignition Miles but only 1 if betting on table games or video poker. Tier Points, collected while you play, let you move up in loyalty ranks and consequently enjoy bigger benefits. For example, a redemption rate of 2,500 Miles for $1 and 6% daily cashback bonus is available at the starting Steel level, while at the Diamond level, one can convert Miles at the rate of 1,000 for $1 and claim 15% cashback. Furthermore, Chrome players (level 2) get to participate in weekly $2,500 poker freeroll tournaments, and Platinum members (level 6) receive exclusive birthday bonuses.

There are multiple other goodies on offer. New members get to choose between a $1,000 Poker and Casino Welcome Bonus, both offered as 100% match of the player’s initial deposit. If you opt for the Casino Bonus, you’ll have to wager the deposit plus the bonus amount 25 times prior to making a withdrawal. At the same time, one can also claim a 200% Bitcoin bonus up to $2,000 and thus increase the available gaming budget by as much as $3,000. Ignition Casino additionally features a 100% up to $100 weekly match bonus, a 25% bonus up to $1,000 offered with every Bitcoin deposit, and a refer-a-friend program with every successful referral earning the player up to $100 in bonus funds.

Ignition Casino Games

Ignition Casino built its gaming library with the help of Rival, Realtime Gaming, Genesis Gaming, Spinomenal and Wazdan, and it additionally provides a range of games available exclusively at sites operated by Lynton Limited.

Use the tab labeled “Casino” to access RNG games grouped in the following categories: slots, table games, blackjack games, video poker, specialty games and live dealer games. If you go for pokies, the page will display the most popular and new titles, followed by the entire list of all available options. A drop-down list helps players find i-Slots, Real Series titles, video slots, 3D slots, progressives, Rival games, and those playing with three or five reels. This elaborate filtering mechanism should make it easy to hone in on titles one is likely to enjoy the most.

Once you launch a pokie, the game will open next to an information sheet offering details on the mechanism, features and bonus rounds. As long as you’re logged in, real money play is the only option and the game won’t start until you have made a deposit. The practice play option is available but only while logged out of your player account.

A Night With Cleo, 777 Deluxe, Golden Gorilla and Diamond Dragon are currently presented as the most popular pokies. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy Rival’s unique i-Slots, unlike any others. Each features a storyline that gradually develops as you play on and more than a few come in sequels. The highly engaging bonus round perfectly fits the theme, as you’ll experience by playing Cosmic Quest, Reel Crime and As The Reels Turn series of games. Ignition Casino also provides a range of popular RTG pokies such as Aztec’s Treasure, Caesar’s Empire and Cleopatra´s Gold, as well as super-fun Food Fight.

Table games can be filtered by type – blackjack, baccarat, poker, and roulette, or searched by name. You’ll find a couple of variants of American and European Roulette, about a dozen single and double-deck blackjack games, standard baccarat, and a range of poker variants. Feel free to choose one or switch between Caribbean Hold’em, Tri Card Poker, Caribbean Stud, Let’em Ride, and Pai Gow. Several of these games feature a 5 or 6-figure progressive jackpot well worth playing for. That’s not all, though! The table games collection also includes Craps, Roll The Dice and Vegas Three Card Rummy.

There’s yet another option available to poker fans. A choice of video poker games enables them to play 1, 3, 10 or 52 hands Jacks Or Better and Joker Poker or try their luck with Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker, Loose Deuces, Double Jackpot Poker, and a few more game variants. Section storing specialty games features several Keno options, quite a few Bingo games, Sudoku, and several scratch cards. Last but not least, Ignition stores over 40 games with a progressive jackpot. The most generous one by far is Shopping Spree which currently offers to pay over 5,000K to a lucky bugger who may (why not?) turn out to be you.

Mobile Gaming

Mobile phones have become a gadget we rarely separate from and frequently use for a whole range of different purposes, gaming included. Online casinos have recognized this trend early on and responded by making their offering, or at least a good portion of it, accessible via smartphones and tablets. Ignition’s mobile site, same as those of its competitors, offers a somewhat smaller number of games than when playing via desktop, but it still provides a decent enough choice for when you’re out and about. It’s accessible via web browsers of iOS and Android phones, features the same attractive layout and user-friendly structure, and offers same functionalities which include the cashier and Live Chat.

Ignition Live Casino

Having used a tab labeled Live Dealer, players are presented with an overview of 20 available tables. They can join a game by clicking on one or first use tabs on top to display exclusively tables playing live blackjack, live roulette, baccarat or Super 6.

If you’re a roulette fan, take your pick between European and American game variants. Both allow players to select limits of AUD1-AUD300, AUD5-AUD1,500, and AUD10-AUD3,000. Blackjack Early Payout accepts an unlimited number of players simultaneously and bets ranging between AUD5 and AUD100, AUD25 and AUD1,000, or AUD100 and AUD2,500. You’ll find the same limits attached to two baccarat and two Super 6 tables.

With an expected return of 99.50%, Blackjack Early Payout is the highest-paying blackjack game you’ll find online. It uses automatic Basic Strategy software to offer players prompts on the best strategy for each hand (which they can choose to follow or use their gut instinct instead). Each time the player receives a new card, they’ll be offered an instant payout the size of which depends on the strength of the dealer’s up-card. A single player can play up to three hands at a time. Blackjack Early Payout features two side bets – The pairs bet which pays 11:1 when the player’s hole cards form a pair, and the Rummy bet which delivers 9:1 if their first three cards form a three-of-a-kind, a three-card straight, or a three-card flush.

Apart from being able to chat with the dealer, players can also tip them just as they would do in a land-based casino. Dealers will acknowledge every tip, thanking the tipper by name and performing a small celebration ritual.

Banking Fees and Timeframes

At Ignition Casino players can deposit $20-$1,500 via a credit card and between $10 and $5,000 if using Bitcoin. The latter is 100% free but the operator will apply transaction fees for deposits made with Visa/MasterCard (5.9%) and Amex (9.9%).

Withdrawals can normally be requested via cryptocurrency or Check by Courier and limits will vary accordingly – $100/transaction to $3,000/week for Check payouts and $20/transaction to $9,500/day for Bitcoin withdrawals. Once again, cryptocurrency payments are free while the Casino charges a withdrawal fee if cashing out via Visa Fast Funds or a debit card ($25 per withdrawal) and Check ($100 per withdrawal). Do note that players are entitled to one free non-crypto withdrawal per 90 days.

The operator will take 24-48 hours to review and process your cash-out request. Players using Bitcoin will thus get their money within 72 hours. One can cancel the withdrawal or lower the amount while the request is still in the processing phase.

Ignition Casino Customer Support

Relevant information can be obtained by browsing the Help section, filling out a form provided on the website, or by launching Live Chat. The team has done an incredibly good job with the FAQ list, populating it with tons of information related to the creation and management of an account, security and fair play, Live Casino and poker room, bonuses, payments, etc. In the unlikely event that some questions remain unanswered, you can get in touch with a dedicated Customer Service team available 24/7.

Ignition Casino Summary

Ignition Casino was launched primarily to cater to US residents penalized by local gambling regulations but is equally happy to welcome and serve Australian players. The choice of games is a bit more limited than elsewhere as the operator chose to partner up only with US-friendly providers, but the assortment is diverse enough to please Aussie players with different preferences. They’ll be able to claim generous welcome bonuses and benefit from a good range of other promotional deals later on. Bitcoin depositors will not only enjoy free payments but also better transaction limits and additional bonuses. Thankfully, the Ignition team knows that we all like to play at different times and has consequently made its support agents available around the clock.
