Vave Review 2024

Bonus offers

The incentive is one of the main reasons why people join an online casino and sportsbook so they need to be impressive. This is true of both the promotions here, but we have to say the casino incentive slightly edges it for us. You’ll get to decide for yourself when you register, as it is the first decision you make after initial registration.  And there is no need to enter a Vave incentive code.

The minimum deposit for both sports and casino incentives is $20. The specifics are covered in more depth in our full incentive review, but in a nutshell, both offer a 100% deposit match up to 1 BTC for your initial deposit. Although, as you might expect, that is where the similarity ends. The sports incentive is not awarded upfront, but after you have placed one or more qualifying bets. You are then given a free bet equal to your deposit to use in 7 days.

There is a little more to the casino incentive, mostly because it comes with a follow-up incentive for your second deposit. The first part is a 100% match up to 1 BTC with a hefty 40x playthrough, and the second is a 50% match up to 0.5 BTC with the same playthrough requirements. There are also free spins awarded (100 and 50 respectively) as part of a very attractive deal for those who wish to stay for the long term.

User Experience and Interface

Although their focus is clear, the user experience at this online casino ranks among the best we’ve encountered. The design draws inspiration not just from other well-crafted casinos and sportsbooks but also incorporates elements from outside the sector. New users will notice that their account details are conveniently located at the top, with the T&Cs accessible at the bottom, akin to many retail websites.

Seasoned users will appreciate the easy access to all essential deposit and withdrawal functions from the main account area. Navigating the site for betting is straightforward and follows a familiar process, making it user-friendly for beginners. Finding games in the casino is also simple, as they are organized by type and provider, allowing newcomers to quickly locate their preferred games.

Support options are readily available via the live chat feature in the corner or the FAQ link in the left-hand menu.

Payments

Another focus of this Vave review was the variety of payment options offered. As a crypto casino, Vave needed to meet our approval by providing resources for newcomers to cryptocurrency and offering options for those without Bitcoin or other digital currencies to get started. Both aspects are well-addressed, allowing users with traditional fiat methods to purchase cryptocurrency and claim bonuses.

Payments are typically processed quickly, usually within 10 minutes. Withdrawal options include fiat methods, some of which may take up to 3 days, but transactions to your e-wallet should be completed in under 10 minutes. If you experience any delays beyond this timeframe, customer support should be consulted for assistance.

Customer service

If you suspect any issues with your funds, you’ll need prompt assistance. In such cases, your best bet is the live chat feature. We were impressed not only by its speed but also by the fact that real people, not chatbots, are providing the answers.

Email support also performed well. Although replies to simple questions took a few hours, it seems ideal for addressing more complex inquiries. While there is no telephone support, the response times from these other options make it seem unnecessary.

For straightforward questions, you likely won’t need to go further. The FAQ section addresses most basic queries, so answers are usually just a few clicks away. Available in 18 different languages, this highlights Vave’s commitment to customer experience, earning another positive mark in our Vave review.

Licensing and security

Another aspect that received a positive review is their licensing, granted by Curacao and applicable in numerous regions globally. It’s important to verify whether Vave is legitimate in your location, as licensing doesn’t always align with local regulations.

Since Vave is a newcomer to the Canadian betting scene, there is no stock market listing or awards shown alongside the licensing information at the bottom of the screen. This is understandable at this early stage. We did expect to see age verification, which is implemented when you register.

Rewards and Loyalty Program

The next aspect we needed to examine was what’s available after you’ve used up your bonus for both sports and casino. As noted earlier in this Vave review, the operator doesn’t cater to bonus seekers, a fact further confirmed by our findings here.

The so-called VIP club functions much like a loyalty program, where you earn points as you wager, in increments of 20 USDT. You start at the bottom level upon enrollment, with 18 levels for casino and 7 for sports. We were concerned this might be complex, but instead, the levels primarily reflect the size of the additional bonus credited to your account as you advance. This bonus, awarded in cryptocurrency, must be wagered before withdrawal but offers a straightforward reward for players.

Since the initial thresholds are quite low, you won’t accumulate points indefinitely without rewards. Higher levels come with additional VIP perks, including specialized customer service and tailored rewards.

Sports betting

BETTING MARKETS

Most bettors stick to the popular major sports markets, and Vave delivers the depth you’d expect from any top platform in these areas. However, Vave also offers some niche markets, such as over 100 betting options for a women’s cricket competition in New Zealand, which was a pleasant surprise.

ODDS

We focused our odds checks on major markets and found them to be largely consistent with other platforms. There were no promotional odds evident, so this is one area where Vave doesn’t exceed its competitors. If you wish to compare odds, you can switch between 6 different formats in your user settings.

LIVE BETTING & STREAMING

Live betting at Vave is supported by live streaming for much of the eSports lineup and other live events like ATP and WTA tennis. We also noted European soccer matches, though not the ones typically featured on subscription TV. The range of markets matches those available for pre-match betting, with no noticeable delays in placing bets—though this may vary depending on your location and device.

LIMITS

No Vave reviews have mentioned issues with bettors being restricted, but those who need to manage their gambling can set their own limits. This can be arranged through customer support, where you can establish limits on spending and losses.

Casino

SOFTWARES

At any online casino, it’s always a pleasure to see renowned names like NetEnt and Pragmatic Play featured in the games you explore. These leading names are joined by a host of other top suppliers, including Red Tiger and Quickspin, along with some exclusive Vave originals. The games we tested loaded swiftly and without issues. You can easily find any game using the search function or by sorting by type or provider.

GAME PORTFOLIO

One possible critique is the absence of traditional RNG (non-live) table games from various suppliers in the game collection. This seems to be a deliberate choice, as the selection of nearly 350 slots offers a wide array of options. These include titles like Dark Wolf, Goddess of Egypt, and Book of DemiGods 3. In addition to these slots, you can also enjoy exclusive Vave games such as Vave Dice, Space XY, and Aviator.

LIVE CASINO

The live casino, however, is packed with choices. It features over a dozen variations of blackjack and roulette, along with game shows and baccarat, creating a live casino experience that will appeal to many players. Even those missing traditional table games will find plenty to engage them here.

LIMITS

Table limits vary depending on the game, and you have the option to set personal limits if desired.

Conclusion

We anticipated this review would center on the bonus offer and attracting new users. While we did find a compelling offer, the main emphasis appeared to be on retaining customers by providing an exceptional experience.

There are a few areas for improvement, like introducing an app and including some RNG table games. However, overall, both new and experienced players are likely to be very satisfied with what they discover here.
