Canbet Casino Turns To Microgaming

Limited Time Offer (from May 2008): 20% Cashback On All Slots 

Australian based bookmaker Canbet has recently ditched it’s RTG-driven casino platform to migrate to the industry leader, Microgaming. The change sees Canbet launch both a software download version and a Flash casino, the former providing users with over 200 online slots and the latter some 100 or so. Both versions contain the very popular Microgaming slots, Thunderstruck, Mega Moolah progressive (standing at over £4.3 million as I write) and the newer slot, Hitman with it’s great graphics and sounds and three seperate bonus rounds.

But where Canbet differs to many other Microgaming casinos is in the speed of cashouts. Because they also operate a popular sportsbook and poker room, Canbet have their own backoffice banking system that overrides the traditional Microgaming banking system. The main advantage here for players is that there is no “reverse pending” peiod, meaning when you cash out, processing is done far more quickly. Canbet say that, for example, Neteller cashouts are processed in hours rather than days and cashouts to bank are done same day meaning the user only has to wait the time imposed by their local banking systems - in the UK that means 2 working nights. This is faster than many other casinos using Microgaming and perhaps only rivalled by other UK bookmakers and Wagerworks software-driven casinos. But Microgaming has far more slots than Wagerworks right now. Also worth noting is that it is very easy for players to share funds between the casino, poker and sportsbook accounts

Although based in Australia, Canbet do not accept Aussie players due to legislation down under, nor for similar reasons do they take players from the USA, but most other areas of the world are fine. With a new multi-language launch of the casino due imminently, and the integration of live dealer games already undertaken, Canbet is likely to get a firm foothold in the Asian markets of China, SE Asia and Japan during 2008. Already gaining a foothold in the UK because of the fast cashouts, I expect Canbet Casino to become a big name in casino-land during 2008. I met with the operators in Macau recently and it certainly sounds as if they have a lot of very serious developments upcoming.
