FreshBet

FreshBet seems to offer pretty much every gambling product on the market. But is that enough? Let's see some answers for the toughest questions.

With the demand of online casinos expanding, it's not surprising to see entrepreneurs out there opening up their own online casinos and sportsbooks.

Such is the case with Ryker B.V. It was late in 2021 that Ryker introduced its first online gambling property, that being a full-service gambling site called "FreshBet Casino." Both the casino and Ryker B.V. are licensed by and regulated in Curacao.

At this early point in the game, FreshBet remains a rather small provider of online casino games with a sportsbook in tow. While they remain small in terms of customers and gambling revenue, they seem to be doing everything the right way. They offer a great selection of casino games and accept both fiat currency options and cryptocurrency as acceptable banking methods.

As is always the case with a new casino under the ownership of a new online casino business owner, gamblers should use discretion and proceed with caution. Why? It takes a year or two for new online casinos to establish a reputation be it good or bad.

FreshBet Bonus and Free Spins

After taking a look at FreshBet Casino's bonus menu, it becomes clear that the owner/operator prefers to focus more on the sportsbook side of the business. That's evident because most of the current bonus offers are being directed to sports bettors.

For casino gamblers, there are only three offers currently listed on the bonus menu. The first one is a weekly cashback offer of 10% up to a weekly maximum of $500. The second offer is the requisite "refer-a-friend" offer. That leaves the FreshBet welcome offer.

The casino's welcome offer covers each new customer's first three deposits. In each case, the minimum acceptable deposit is $20. Here are the details related to the bonus offer for each of the three deposits:

• 1st Deposit: 100% deposit up to a maximum bonus of $500
• 2nd Deposit: 50% deposit up to a maximum bonus of $500
• 3rd Deposit: 100% deposit up to a maximum bonus of $500

Over all three deposits, new customers will have 30 days to use their bonus monies and fulfill a playthrough requirement of 30x the bonus amount. Should they fail to do that, they will forfeit all unused bonus monies and any winnings that they derived from any used portion. After fulfilling the playthrough requirement, customers are then permitted to withdraw their net winnings at their own discretion.

Note: This online casino does not currently offer access to a VIP program.

FreshBet Review

It seems that as the market gets flooded with new online casinos, the quality of the actual websites seems to be diminishing. Such is the case with the FreshBet casino platform. It's fair to say that the website developers opted to go with a generic format.

While the website is not much to look at, it does have all the requisite components. At the top of the home landing page, gamblers will see information related to some of the casino's bonus offers. In the middle of the page, gamblers will see information on featured games and get easy access to literally thousands of online casino games through a couple of dropdown menus. Suffice to say, the overall website is highly functional and very easy to navigate. All relevant administrative information is listed at the bottom of each page.

As was mentioned above, FreshBet offers a games library that includes thousands (5,000+) of games that have been integrated from dozens of the top online casino software developers in the world. It's also worth noting that management is very supportive of problem gambling initiatives, which is evident by the responsible gambling access they offer from the home landing page.

Verdict: It's hard to knock any new online casino owner that has shown the willingness to give the online gambling community a try. Over time, this online gambling site might evolve as it matures. As things sit right now, prospective customers will have to take the good with the bad. The good includes a great menu of games and banking options. The bad is a lack of jackpot games. For now, FreshBet is worthy of consideration at the lowest level (recreational gamblers) as long as customers are willing to minimize their bankrolls until the operator has had more time to mature.

Mobile

At this time, FreshBet Casino does not offer its gambling services via a dedicated mobile app. However, the website has been optimized via HTML5 technology, which makes it easily accessible for mobile device users through a standard web browser. Users of mobile devices that are compatible with the iOS (Apple) and Android operating systems should have no accessing the website.
