Mr Green Casino Review
Mr Green caused something of a kerfuffle when he crashed onto the online gambling scene in 2007. A smooth-looking guy in a green suit and matching bowler, he was the mascot of the Mr Green online casino, created by a trio of Swedish entrepreneurs – Frederik Sidfalk, Henrik Bergquist and Mikael Pawlo. Sidfalk and Pawlo had been two-thirds of the team who successfully launched the Betsson gambling brand in 2001.
Mr Green took a new approach to online casinos, with stylish graphics and a killer up-to-the-minute site freshly-built with all the latest website fashions firmly in mind. The rest of the internet wagering world quickly made strides to catch up, but so far in design terms at least, Mr Green remains ahead of the competition. In 2014 the casino was added the title of eGaming Review’s ‘Casino Brand of the Year’ to its sizeable list of industry awards.
Promotions and Bonuses
Mr Green is always happy to welcome new players to his casino playground, and starts newbies off with a double-whammy of a promotion – a 300 percent welcome bonus up to £350 coupled with ten FREE spins on some of the top online slots available at the site.
The 300 percent deposit bonus is split over the first four deposits you make at the casino:
- First deposit bonus: 100 percent up to £100
- Second deposit bonus: 50 percent up to £50
- Third deposit bonus: 25 percent up to £100
- Fourth deposit bonus: 125 percent up to £100
To obtain the “full fat” bonus of £350 you’ll need to deposit a total of £680.
As well as the welcome dosh you’ll also receive ten free spins on the slots of Mr Green’s choosing. At the time of writing these were three of the best online slots going: Fruit Shop, Scarface and Starburst.
The wagering requirements you’ll need to fulfil before you can cash out any bonus money are not inspiring. You need to wager at least 35 times your bonus, and you can only fulfil your requirements by playing scratch cards or slot games, both of which are hardly renowned for having brilliant RTPs.
Any money you win by using your ten free spins is subject to the same level of wagering requirements and rules before you can cash it out.
Once you’ve exhausted your welcome bonus, don’t be fooled into thinking Mr Green is simply going to turn his back on you. The site has a continual selection of decent bonus offers throughout the year for its members, including free spins, reload bonuses and cash prizes.
Mr Green also seems to feel that all players are created equally as the casino does not run a VIP scheme.
Games
The games at Mr Green aren’t that thrilling, but they aren’t a complete let down either. When it comes to slots, a lot of the offerings are very run of the mill, although several very decent titles are available, including Game of Thrones, Cosmic Fortune, the brilliant South Park: Reel Chaos and the ubiquitous Starbust. Mr Green even has a slot of his very own: “The Marvellous Mr Green”.
The table game selection is more impressive, with ten versions of roulette, six versions of blackjack, three versions of casino poker, a handful of video poker varieties plus baccarat (and punto banco) and jackpot keno.
There are a number of live casino options – roulette, blackjack, baccarat and three-card poker are all covered, with “exclusive to Mr Green” roulette and blackjack and “VIP” live roulette. You can also access NetEnt’s live casino from the Mr Green site.
Software
There are a whole host of software providers at Mr Green including a few of the biggest names in online casino software, such as Microgaming, the aforementioned NetEnt, Betsoft and IGT (WagerWorks).
ALL games at Mr Green are run in an internet browser and absolutely no download is required or offered. This might not please Windows users as installed software often runs better than browser-based programs, but Mac and Linux users may get the games to run with a degree of success.
Mr Green also has a mobile-optimised version of its casino which you can access simply by visiting the Mr Green site on your smartphone or tablet.
Banking and Customer Support
Mr Green believes in banking at speed and the casino’s withdrawal processing speeds are outstanding – 72 hours is the longest you should have to wait although for bigger wins there’s a 12-24 hour pending period is case you’re trying to pull as fast one. One moan though – a withdrawal limit of $/£/€10,000 a month.
All the main deposit options are available, i.e. credit and debit cards and the top alternative payment solutions such as Skrill, Neteller, Ukash and Entropay. Withdrawals can be made via Visa, Skrill, Neteller, Entropay and Bank Wire Transfer. You can play using euros, dollars and pounds, and (as Mr Green originated in Scandinavia) Norwegian and Swedish currencies.
Lots of countries do get the Mr Green shove due to licencing laws, including Australia, France and – as you’d expect – the USA. Mr Green’s site is available in seven different languages.
Live help at Mr Green is available between 6am and midnight (GMT) otherwise the casino can be reached by email.
Conclusion
There’s a reason why Mr Green turns many of its competitors green with envy, and it’s not just the number of awards that this online casino has won and continues to win. It’s the excellent site design, number of games available, funding options and excellent customer support as well.
The only minor annoyance is that the welcome bonus can only be “redeemed” via slots and scratch cards which virtually renders it worthless, but then the days when grinders could wear down hefty bonuses are now well and truly in the online casino history dustbin.
If you’re an experienced online casino fan, or are still “green around the gills” when it comes to internet wagering, then Mr Green will (green) suit you just fine.
