My Review of Aztec Riches Casino
by gjr1961
The Aztec Riches Casino website displays images of pyrimids, icons, and relics. All of this brings to mind the thought of hidden riches. Players are lured in to be the lucky one who will find the treasure that can be found without leaving the comforts of home.
Aztec Riches was launched in the year 2000. Since then, they have maintained a successful casino with a highly regarded reputation in the online gaming industry, for more than a decade. In 2006, they were purchased by the illustrious Casino Rewards, which now has a group of 18 casinos and 5 poker rooms. Microgaming provides the software, bringing spectacular graphics and enormous progressive jackpots. They have an outstanding, unique variety of more than 400 games to satisfy every players desire.
New players are welcomed with the opportunity to receive up to $850 free on their first 3 deposits. **They are offered on their first deposit: 50% free up to $50**, second deposit: 25% free up to $200, and their third deposit: 20% free up to $600.
I have had an account at the casino for many years and have enjoyed numerous hours of gameplay. On the most recent occasion,I had earned enough points in my Casino Rewards account to redeem $10. I chose to have the funds applied to my Aztec Riches casino account. After several hours of pleasure trying out a wide varity of slot games, I made a withdrawal request to my Quicktender account for $200. The request was honoured with absolutely no issues to slow it down.
The deposit methods accepted at the casino are: Visa, Mastercard, UseMyWallet (Quicktender), EZIpay, Entropay, Click2Pay, eCheck, Instadebit, NETeller, Ecocard, Moneybookers, Paysafecard, Ukash, Direct Bank Transfer, and Wire Transfer.
Customer Service is available 24/7 by Live Chat, email, and there are 7 telephone numbers to serve different countries. Also available is the option to send an email with a phone number included and receive a call "straight back". I have had the occasion to use both their Live Chat and their email services. Each time I was treated with respect and the responses were quick, professional, and friendly.
Upon becoming a member, players are automatically enrolled in the Casino Rewards loyalty program. 1 point is earned for each $10 played. All points earned from any account within their group are applied to 1 combined account. Members can then choose in which account they would like the redemption credited. Also available is 3 tiered friend referal program. Players will receive money for friends they refer, the friends their friends refer, and then the friends that those friends refer.
The only withdrawal option for players from the United States at this time is UseMyWallet (Quicktender). For others, there is also: OCT (Visa), EZIpay, Ecocard, Wire-DBT-Swift transfer, Neteller, Moneybookers, Click2Buy, ClickandBuy, courier checks, mailed checks, and CADEFT.
After 48 hours in a pending status, most payouts are processed within 1 - 2 working days. Wire Transfers take 3 - 5 working days, courier checks 3- 6 working days, and mailed checks up to 21 days.
I would recommend this casino to others. I prefer Microgaming software and the fact that Aztec Riches has been operating for so many years impresses me. Also, they are a part of the highly reputed Casino Rewards group. I have received excellent customer support from both consistantly for a number of years. This leads me to beleive it is a safe, fair and trustworthy place to deposit my money. Also, over a span of time, I have received quite a few personalized offers from both Aztec Riches and Casino Rewards.
The only area where I see needs improvement is in the withdrawal procedure. I think that a 48 hour pending period is a little long. Also, it would save quite a few people a bit of trouble if there were more than one option for the players from the USA to get paid.
The currencies that are offered are USD, GBP, Euro, and CAD.
Although English is their primary language, the casino is also offered in 14 other languages; including: French, German, Danish, Austrian, Italian, Spanish, Deutch, Swedish, Finnish, Noregian, Portuguese, Greek, Chinese, and Japanese.
At this time players from the United States are banned from opening new accounts. However, most players from the USA (like myself) who have existing accounts, are allowed to deposit and play.
Aztec Riches is a Casino Crush VIP enabled casino.
**Casinos sometimes change their 1st Deposit offer, therefore the 1st deposit in this review may NOT be currently available.**
