777Bay Casino Review

777Bay is an online casino that is owned and operated by the Mirage Corporation NV. Mirage owns a good selection of different online casinos that I have personally had pretty good experiences with. This is one of the operator’s newer sites, having opened its virtual doors in 2020. Like many of their casinos, it puts a focus on cryptocurrencies, offering players a range of coins and tokens to play with, as well as provably fair games, bonuses, and more. There is a lot to unpack here, so let’s not waste any more time on introductions and take a more detailed look at what 777Bay has in store.

Basics

777Bay has a fairly average design. It’s very easy to navigate, with the operator opting for a side menu as opposed to a banner across the top of the page. Personally, I prefer this as it makes things easier when it switches over to mobile devices. In terms of a theme, there is nothing discernible here. The casino has a random picture of a sophisticated and rather attractive couple placed in the middle of its homepage so it feels safe to assume that this was the kind of slant they were going for. That said, they haven’t been particularly successful in that respect and the site does feel a little thrown together. This is all superficial stuff though, with the user experience on the site being largely positive.

It’s simple to find what you are looking for here

It is simple to find what you are looking for here with the menus all being clearly labeled. There is plenty of transparency when it comes to the terms & conditions and the customer support is strong.

The site has been optimized to work on mobile devices and it looks great. The transition is seamless, with the previously mentioned side-menus coming in particularly handy. I tested the site out on both Chrome and Safari on mobiles and found I had no latency issues or trouble finding what I was after.

You can also breathe easy knowing you are safe here. The site is licensed and regulated by the government laws of Curacao. This is the most common license you will find for crypto-casinos, though, its ubiquity doesn’t remove its effectiveness. There is also a know your customer policy and several other safety and security features in place to make sure that you have a smooth ride when playing here.

Slots & Games

777Bay does a good job of keeping its customers entertained with a good range of slots and games. The operator works with a good selection of top developers including all of the regular names like Microgaming, NetEnt, Yggdrasil, and more. The casino does a good job of promoting new titles, with games like Thunderstruck: Wild Lightning being given the spotlight when I visited.

The catalog does provide plenty of variety, mixing the old with the new and keeping customers updated with new releases. There is also a section dedicated entirely to jackpot games for those who like to chase big wins. You can find all of the classic titles here including Mega Moolah and all of its many spin-offs. The slot selection is also really easy to navigate thanks to several filtering options and a big search bar.

The live casino section is also decent. The site works with a handful of different live dealer providers including Evolution, Asia Gaming, Betgames, and Ezugi. It’s always nice when a casino offers someone other than Evolution. While they are head and shoulders above the rest in terms of quality, it’s always nice to have some variety and many casinos don’t really offer that. From a gaming perspective, you can expect to find the usual here – live versions of blackjack, baccarat, and roulette, as well as some money wheel titles.

One thing I loved about this site was that is an entire section dedicated to cryptocurrency and provably fair games. The lack of these at casinos is something I have ranted about in many of my online casino reviews. The selection is nice and strong too, and as a crypto enthusiast, it’s nice to have these options available.

Bonuses & Promotions

When it comes to bonuses, 777Bay does a really good job of delivering. The welcome package for new customers allows them to claim bonuses for their first three deposits on the site. The first one allows you to claim 125% up to €1,500, which is a fairly sizable offer. On top of this, the site allows you to claim up to 125 free spins to be used along side this.

For the second deposit, players are able to claim a further 50% bonus deposit up to €1,500 and another 50 free spins. Finally, for the third deposit, players can get another 75% up to €1,500 and 75 further free spins. Needless to say, this is quite an impressive haul.

For each of these bonuses, players will need to deposit a minimum of €20, which is standard for most casinos. There are two things that caught my eye about these promotions – firstly, the selection of slots that the free spins can be used on. Most casinos will limit you to just one or two slots, and these are often promotional. Here, players are given a good list of different options that differs for each bonus. This includes titles like Starburst, Book of Atem, The Golden Owl of Athena, and several others.

The second thing that caught my eye is that the free spins come with zero wagering requirements. Obviously, this is a big selling point for the casino and is definitely something most players would be happy to take advantage of. The wagering requirements for the welcome bonus itself are not so generous though, with players needing to play through both the bonus and deposit amounts 30x before they can claim them.

Outside of this, the casino has some other good bonuses that players can take advantage of. Notably, there is crypto cashback offer that works as an alternative to the original first deposit bonus. For this, players can receive 25% of their cashback if they lose with their first deposit. The minimum that is required for this is a €30 deposit.

User Reviews & Customer Support

The casino was only established in 2020 so at the time of writing, which is August 2021, the selection of online reviews and customer feedback is still slim. Most customers are praising the game’s slot selection and there is plenty of positive feedback regarding the crypto options. As far as complaints go, there is nothing here that really seems substantial. There are some complaints about withdrawal times and some people have also noted that there is a lot of text on some of the pages. While this could seem quite nit-picky, it is a valid criticism, especially on the terms & conditions pages where I spent a good chunk of time trying to find information. This lack of readability was also something I noted in a recent review of Stelario Casino.

Something I often complain about is companies not responding to customer feedback and 777Bay are guilty of this. The casino doesn’t respond to any feedback, whether it’s positive or negative. While this doesn’t make or break a casino, it certainly wouldn’t do them any harm to show their customers that they’re listening.

The customer support here is something that is definitely worth praising. The casino responding to all of my queries promptly and was very friendly and polite. The team, as they are called, is available 24/7 and can be accessed via live chat or e-mail. There is also a reasonably detailed FAQ page that was quite useful.

Deposits & Withdrawals

The deposit methods at the casino were something that really stood out to me. As well as the usual array of methods like Visa/Mastercard, Neteller and the like, the focus on cryptocurrencies here was strong. The site allows players to deposit with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Ripple, and several other popular currencies. The fact it offers Dogecoin and Ripple shows that it attempts to keep up with crypto changes and offer what the market is demanding.

What’s more is that the site allows you to purchase and play through Binance. Sites like Stelario also allow players to purchase through a third party but Binance is one that I am comfortable to vouch for myself. The service is reputable, reliable, and you can always get good exchange rates.

One thing I would advise though is to check with the site whether you are going to be charged for using certain methods. The terms & conditions here state that the casino may charge a small fee depending on the methods you would use.

The minimum deposit at 777Bay will also depend on the method you use but for the most part you can play for €10. The withdrawal is €20 which is fairly standard for most online casinos these days.

FAQs

Final Thoughts

On the whole, there was actually a lot that I enjoyed about 777Bay. The casino’s game selection is strong. With over 2,000 options available, players aren’t likely to get bored anytime soon. The fact that there is a crypto-based casino section is also a selling point. Many casinos sell themselves as crypto casinos but don’t put any focus on that element so it’s nice to see a website that embraces this for once.

The welcome bonus here is generous and the lack of wagering requirements on any free spins bonus is definitely a big selling point. The fact that it also comes with a selection of slots to play from and not just one promotional title is also a bonus. Elsewhere, the customer experience element of the site is good. It is easy to navigate, transparent, and customer support is on top of things. I really can’t fault the casino too much in this respect.

As far as newer online casinos go, it does feel as though 777bay wants to make an effort to stand out from the rest. Its crypto options are very impressive and it doesn’t have any stand-out problems. This is definitely an operator that is worth keeping an eye on in the future.
