tipwin Online Casino

  tipwin Casino review

As I am rather critical of providers with a licence from Germany, I decided to test such a provider again in November 2022. This time it was tipwin's turn. Tipwin is an online bookmaker that specialises in sports betting and has become very popular with its sports betting website. Among other things, tipwin is the sponsor of the German Bundesliga team Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

In particular, the return of Merkur and Gamomat slot machines is making players' hearts beat faster. In addition, deposit methods such as PayPal and Trustly have returned to online gaming.

Tipwin is registered on the gambling island of Malta, which I found a little unusual at first, but at second glance I immediately remembered that providers with a German licence can still operate from Malta.

There is no fancy theme or special design in the tipwin online casino, which I personally don't mind at all. The colours black and red dominate, just like on the tipwin website for sports betting. The menu is simple and even beginners can find their way around quickly.

I would like to tell you about my impressions of tipwin. After JackpotPiraten and BingBong, this is the third provider with a German licence that I have tested.

Personal experience

I was curious about the tipwin online casino because I had already placed some sports bets with tipwin in the past and also because this provider is licensed in Germany. Unfortunately, I was looking for a welcome bonus in vain. Well, at least there were no rules to pay attention to.

As you know, everything starts with registration. In the first screen I had to enter my email address, password, country and username. I was free to choose my username. In the second screen I was asked for more personal information. No more than at MGA or Curacao licensed casinos, which I found pleasant.

By the third mask I started to wonder. So I had to set a limit. I could choose between 10 euros, 100 euros, 500 euros or 1000 euros. I was not happy about this. Of course I chose the 1000 euro limit.

Imagine setting a limit for someone in a bar, a supermarket or when shopping online! It is disproportionate and wrong. Every player should be able to decide for themselves how much money they want to spend playing or shopping. However, I did not let myself be put off by the imposed limits, I still wanted to try out the tipwin online casino. After receiving a confirmation to my e-mail address, my experience could begin.

Immediately after my verification (which was very quick, by the way), I made a deposit of 100 euros via PayPal. Finally, PayPal for gambling on the internet again! Yay!

Merkur and Gamomat

I have to say, it's really cool to see these heavyweights of the games industry back online. Of course my gaming session had to start with Merkur. I was in the mood for the classic Triple Chance! Fruits and bells would lead me to victory.

Unfortunately, there is no demo mode on German-licensed sites, which I find very unfortunate and hard to understand. I also looked in vain for the autostart I love so much.

The game was about to start. I decided to play spins for one euro, the maximum bet in German online casinos. Unfortunately, after about 20 spins, my winnings account looked very poor, I lost 20 Euros and won only 6.50 Euros, I hit 2-3 low combinations. No wonder, as the RTP (Return to Player) at German-licensed online casinos is much lower than at the well-known MGA or Curacao casinos.

I also searched in vain for Book of Ra. When I asked for the fast and competent support, I was only told that it would probably be added to the game portfolio in the future.

Winnings at Jolly's Cap

The Merkur Sun laughed! After what felt like an eternity, I decided to play Jolly's Cap again. Many people will still know this game as Joker's Cap.

It is a Merkur slot with 5 reels, 3 lines and 10 paylines. You will also find a jackpot of 10,000 Euros in the game. The symbols used are the traditional K, Q, J and 10 in different colours. The slot itself is about a man who has lost his hat and has to find it before nightfall. The theme of the slot machine is a fairy tale or a knight, as the character it is actually about is the court jester Jolly.

Of course, I was playing with one euro, and I never play with less than that unless I have a bonus. After a few unsuccessful spins, I saw the brown raven appear 4 times on my screen! This brought me around 26 Euros, very nice! Unfortunately this combination did not come with any of the wild symbols, otherwise the win would have been even bigger. After my first win, I spun a few reels in Jolly's Cap, but a bigger win didn't come. All in all, I left Jolly's Cap with a plus of around 20 euros. I looked around a bit and even found sites like Yggdrasil and Big Time Gaming.

I decided to play the next Merkur slot.

A few rounds on Eye of Horus

Eye of Horus is a classic slot that was first released in 2009. It has 5 reels, 3 lines and 20 paylines. I played with the maximum bet of one euro and let the reels spin. Sometimes I won small amounts and sometimes I lost my bet. There was no real thrill, which was probably due to the relatively small amount and the 5 second spins. With a balance of 107.50 euros, I said goodbye to the slot machines and decided to test the payout speed of tipwin.

Attention spoiler! Within one working day, I was able to book the winnings to my PayPal account, which I had found very quickly.

As I already mentioned in the introduction, the makers of tipwin have decided to do without a special theme. Therefore there is neither a mascot nor a special character. The general look of the online casino shows that the designers originally came from sports betting, so the basic structure of tipwin has remained almost the same, which I think is more than successful. Once you have logged in, you will be taken straight to the main menu.

The menu is divided into the following sections:

• New Games
• Merkur Games
• Gamomat Games
• Yggdrasil Games
• All games

On the right hand side of the menu you can filter by slot type. For example, you can choose between Classic Slots, Fantasy or Book of Megaways. You can also create Favourites and view your previous sessions.

A total of 161 slot machines have made it into the tipwin online gaming centre. Compared to online casinos, this is certainly a very low number. On the other hand, the quality (Merkur and Gamomat) of the tipwin slot machines is really first class.

You can clearly see that tipwin hasn't been online with its arcade for very long, but in the future more slot games and providers will surely be added. At the top of the site you will find a slider that shows new promotions and on the far right, if you click on the "Promotions" button, you can read through the current bonus offers at your leisure. A good and simple solution.

As far as languages are concerned, tipwin concentrates exclusively on the German market. English is not to be found. I could imagine that this will change in the future.

An app is not offered at the moment, but thanks to the excellent mobile version, it will not be missed. I tested tipwin on both my iPhone and iPad and was very happy with the results on both devices.

What you need to know

As tipwin has a German licence, I would like to give you some information about online casinos with a German licence. You will also find some general information from the provider's terms and conditions in this section.

• Due to the German licence you can deposit a maximum of 1000 Euro per month. More is not possible.
• Each spin on the slot machine lasts 5 seconds. Faster spins are not allowed.
• You must be at least 18 years old to play. Please do not register if you are under the age of 18.
• Please provide accurate information when registering. False information will be detected during the verification process and may result in you being banned from playing.
• Please create only one account with tipwin. Creating multiple accounts is a violation of the terms and conditions and can also lead to exclusion.

The phrase "small but mighty" applies to few online casinos as well as tipwin. At the moment you will only find 161 slot games in the games category, but the slot games you do find are top class.

However, there are also other providers to choose from:

• Merkur
• Gamomat
• Yggdrasil
• Microgaming
• Big Time Gaming

These are the most popular Merkur games at tipwin

Merkur is undoubtedly one of the reasons to choose online casinos with a German licence. That's why I would like to introduce you to the most popular Merkur slot machines.

• Double Triple Chance - this is a classic slot machine with bells, fruits and old school elements.
• Jolly's Cap - Help Jolly the Jester get his lost cap back. In the past, Jolly's Cap was also known as Joker's Cap.
• Indian Ruby - Dive into the wilds of India with elephants and more.
• Gold Cup - the ultimate Merkur machine, just in time for the upcoming World Cup.
• Knight's Life - Enter the Middle Ages!

Gamomat Slots - also available at tipwin

Gamomat is a German game developer that is closely associated with the well-known Bally Wulff slot machines. Unfortunately, tipwin does not offer all Gamomat games, but some of the most popular ones are included.

• Book of Ramses - certainly the greatest Gamomat classic. It is set in ancient Egypt.
• Book of the Crazy Chicken - who doesn't remember the cult moor chickens? Now you can find them in a slot machine!
• Fancy Fruits - Gamomat can also make fruit machines, Fancy Fruits is the most popular.
• La Dolce Vita - Italian lifestyle right on your screen.
• Roman Legion - Fight your way through the legendary Roman Empire.

A welcome bonus has always been as certain as the Amen in church. Unfortunately, there is no welcome bonus at tipwin! But fortunately the provider is not completely without bonuses.

After successful confirmation of your e-mail address, you will receive 20 free spins on the slot game Alexandria Fire with a deposit of at least 20 euros. However, these bonus promotions are subject to change.

In the area of support and player protection, tipwin has positioned itself well, perhaps even too well. Due to German regulations, strict rules must be adhered to.

• No spin on the slot machine lasts less than 5 seconds.
• Each player has a monthly deposit limit of 1000 euros.
• The maximum bet per spin is 1 Euro.
• There are no VIP hosts or special VIP benefits.

In addition to the rules associated with the new licence, there are of course some rules that are the same as the MGA. Good examples are the verification requirement and the obligation to provide correct profile information.

Customer Support

It goes without saying that a reputable company will have good customer service. You can contact the friendly and knowledgeable staff via chat or email. There is no telephone support.

You can find chat directly from the main menu, just click on the chat button.

To contact support by email, the email address is customer-service@tipwin.com.

In my tests, I received a reply within 12 hours of sending my email, and the chat responded immediately. Chat is available 7 days a week, except at night. That's when the live chat staff get some well-deserved sleep.

Payment methods are also one of the great advantages of online casinos with a German licence.Providers such as PayPal have made a comeback in the gaming industry and I used them to make my deposit.

Among others you can find the following providers:

• Sofortüberweisung
• GiroPay
• Visa
• Mastercard
• PayPal
• paysafecard
• Skrill
• Neteller
• ecoPayz
• Trustly

The minimum deposit for all payment methods is €10 and the minimum withdrawal is €20.Unfortunately, I could not find any information about the maximum payout amount during my test.

Important information:The balance of tipwin-Sport and tipwin-Games is kept separate from each other and cannot be transferred between them at will. This is also due to regulation.

The conclusion about the tipwin online casino is similar to that of all other online casinos with a German licence. You will find a provider that offers excellent slot games and very convenient deposit methods. Unfortunately, when it comes to bonuses, gaming fun and chances of winning, the providers with a German licence are a long way behind their overseas counterparts.

I would like the legislator to reconsider rules such as the 1000 euro deposit limit or the 5 second spins. Otherwise, tipwin makes a good impression. You'll find a provider with a simple and clear menu and fun Merkur games that you won't find in any MGA casino.
