Golden Star Casino: 75% up to €100, 2nd Deposit Bonus

Certified Casino

After a successful outing with my first deposit bonus, I decided to go back to Golden Star casino to take advantage of their second deposit bonus which is a 75% up to €100. You need to enter code GS75 before making the deposit and make a minimum deposit of €20. The casino gives you 14 days to finish the wager and you need to wager the bonus funds 40 times the bonus amount. The best apart about the bonus terms of Golden Star casino is that they have a very small list of restricted games while being on bonus so it makes it a lot easier to clear the wager.

Since I managed to cash out €100 from my first deposit, I decided to deposit all my funds to claim the second deposit. I got a bonus of €75 and a wager of 3000 and 14 days to finish it. The maximum bet allowed while being on bonus money is €1 so that was never going to be a problem for a player like me since I am a low roller and barely cross 50 cents. I started my session on Netent slots like Starburst, warlords and Butterfly Staxx and made a decent profit of €30 while wagering 500. I then moved towards some Microgaming slots like Georgie Porgie, Immortal Romance, Emperor of The Sea and Starlight Kiss and added another €40 to my balance. It was all looking good when I moved towards PlayN’Go and lost around €100. Rise of Olympus, Tome of Madness, Wild Falls and every other PlayN’Go just ate my funds. Thankfully this session was long since it helped me with the wager even though it ate my balance. With around 50% wager complete I was back to my starting balance. I moved towards temple tumble which gave me a profit of €40 in my first bonus and then also helped me to wager 20% of my wagers with some good base game hits and decent bonuses.

To finish my last 30% of wagers I played Pragmatic Play, Playtech, Thunderkick and Elk slots. I managed to cash out €196 which I received in under 5 hours. It was a fun session but could have been even better if my session at PlayN’Go was good. This is a good bonus to try out and the best way to play this bonus is by taking full advantage of it the way I did. A profit of €96 is not bad in under 36 hours.

My first deposit at Golden Star Casino was a disaster! Nothing went right for me on that day. I had wanted to play my deposit and bonus money on Microgaming's game Supe It Up, but after several attempts at loading up the game, it just refused to start up. I'm not talking about the game itself not appearing on the screen, but I'm saying that all I could get was just a blank empty black page, without any loading up progress indicator even. It was like telling me, "don't play this game", because I simply couldn't understand or figure out why the game wouldn't begin to load up!

Well, that was perhaps a bad omen for me, who knows, but I decided to go ahead and make my second deposit the next day, bad omen or not. I made my deposit after clicking on the second deposit offer in the promotions section, but surprisingly, no bonus money was credited in. I checked the Bonus section but nothing was there either. What was happening? I really do not know. I got the first deposit bonus money with my first deposit, but why not for my second deposit? This same thing happened to me at Loki Casino too. Are these two casinos related? Again, I do not know, but I couldn't be bothered to find out either.

Still intent on playing my favourite game Supe It Up with my deposit money, I then clicked on the game and hoped it wouldn't be like the first time. Nope, it didn't! The game came to live, surprisingly, and I was happy that I could finally get to play on it. Perhaps it was undergoing maintenance that first time, but there wasn't any indication of that. Never mind, past is past. For now, I was happy enough that the game could be started up. However, that was the only good thing for me, because the game played very badly indeed. It was running cold. I couldn't get any decent payouts from any of the spins, and the third scatter symbol simply refused to appear, but the worse part was, most of the spins were just blanks! Spin after spin of non-paying spins. Nonetheless, I was already very familiar with the game, so I took it all in my stride. It may play very badly today, but it may play very well on another day. It just wasn't my day.

I took this bonus in Golden Star casino several days after I made my first deposit. It’s a decent 75% match deposit bonus up to $100 and the minimum deposit to claim is $20. I made a deposit of $30 and the bonus was added instantly to my balance. As always I started playing my favorite Amatic slots.

I started playing Diamond Cats on a $0.40 bet and the game was in a good mood. I had several decent wins during base play and I decided to raise my bet to $0.60. The gamble was worth it as I got a bonus round a few spins after. The wilds started coming on the screen and I was ecstatic when I saw another 3 scatters on the reels and a re-trigger. This happens very rarely in this game and when it does you usually have a big win of over 200-300 x bet. The wild were on a good place on the 3 central reels and even though I didn’t get a full set of wilds on the 3 central reels I still won around 250 euros. This was a great start and now the battle to wager the bonus was under way. The thing I don’t like in these casinos is the big wager of 50 x bonus, since Amatic slots can eat a lot of balance very fast without paying anything in return. I moved on to Casanova but he wasn’t in a good mood. The Books were a bit better but I didn’t have any big wins there either. At the end I almost lost my balance but Admiral Nelson was kind enough to give me a boost.

In the end I managed to withdraw 150 euros which was still a decent balance. I didn’t want to risk them in chasing bigger wins so I made a withdrawal. The money was on my Neteller the following day and I had enough gambling budget to try and win again.
