Hollywin Canada

Anyone played at HollyWin from Canada?

Looking for real experiences from Canadian players at HollyWin.
They offer Interac and a lot of crypto (BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC etc.),
but the welcome bonus has 40x wagering and Ontario is restricted.

Questions:
• How fast were your withdrawals, crypto vs Interac?
• Any KYC issues when cashing out?
• Is the weekly cashback actually worth it?

I wrote up what I found here, feedback welcome if anything is off:

I haven't encountered this casino here on the forum despite them offering cryptocurrencies. I can't even access it because of jurisdictional restrictions, but I noticed it has a low Safety Index score on Casino Guru, suggesting gamblers to "to steer clear of this casino". It has a much lower rating on Trustpilot, but has a decent one on AskGamblers.

If what I've read is right, just like with many online casinos, it also has this sneaky KYC verification required only upon withdrawal, not before you're allowed to deposit and play. For me, this isn't fair. There are a number of complaints of funds stuck because of endless rejections.

I can't access the website but i find some feedback about them.

and here's what i found.

DO NOT PLAY ON THIS SITE
I played on their website. Deposited some money without taking any wager or deposit bonus.

I won $20,000. Chatted with their support agent who verified my identity for account verification. And confirmed I would get the full amount.

The next day, all my pending withdrawals were canceled and my balance showed $1200.

It does not look good, though I've verified that it has a license from Curaçao.

Nope! as far as I know about this casino, they process crypto payment kinda quickly. However when it comes to cashing out via fiat or Interac, hassle is endless. It is an old habit of theirs to keep thing pending for days on end under pretext of banking processing. And whenever you try to withdraw any large amount, you will find that they have blocked payment, citing various excuses.

I checked reviews on casino.guru. I could see their evasiveness regarding KYC is nothing new. There won't be any issues when making deposit or withdrawing small amount. But as soon as you make any good profit, their true color will be revealed. They will ask for document many times over and keep your account on hold for months on end under guise of verification, all in hope that you’ll get so frustrated that you end up wagering your money away.

Honestly, even if they have good reviews, I still would not trust them because most of the casinos that I'm using are those that have announcement threads in the forum, that way, if we have complaints it will be easier to reach out to them especially if they are active. How much more with casinos that accept both fiat and crypto, and since Curaçao has become stricter with its regulations there have been reports that some casinos have moved to Anjouan, so I bet the chances of getting our accounts blocked are high if we cannot comply with their requirements.

IIRC, Canada has its own regulatory board for gambling which means offshore licenses are on the grey market. Canadian players that play on this casino will have no protection in case they encounter a problem on this casino.

Most do canadian casino with curacao license only offer their services to Canada like Hollywin. As I check their coverage, They don’t accept Asian country since they focus on Canada, Australia and part of EU.

I guess it's obvious that the majority of gamblers here are not aware of this casinos. And gamblers are already smart not to play on casinos that we don't know or at least didn't have that kind of promotion here specially crypto base.

And with that, even if they offer crypto, their wagering requirement is too high for average gamblers here. And we even have topics on wagering requirements that most of us are not fond of it.

No wonder, I can't access hollywin casino it turns out they are more restrictive than Asia, like the licenses they have for the Americas and Europe?
While he only gives his own reviews on his website, at Trustpilot we know this casino has a low rating, a lot of complaints means there are likely many players experiencing problems although everyone is different his experience.
Ah for me should not be interested in welcome bonus offers, there are still many casinos here that provide such offers.

Hollywin Canada, based on feedback from one of our colleagues, the casino is legal but it still doesn't seem trustworthy enough to try gambling, meaning there's still a high risk.

Then if I were to try it, I would prefer to use the years of operation here on this forum platform because it's really proven rather
than what the op mentioned which isn't.

Same with everyone else I guess and I think it's not a big risk especially if you're not really into putting a lot of money.

Regulation is important but what's more important to me is reputation, if they only had a thread here we could check their reputation but since they don't have one I'm not trusting them as well.

Most offshore casinos don't really market to a specific country, we just learn about them and visit their websites, but this one is actually marketing to Canadian players and their license is from Curaçao. I tried to verify their license in Ontario since they are targeting Canadian players, but I couldn't find their casino on the official list of regulated operators.

Canada regulator offers much better player protection compared to a regulator from a 3rd world country or an offshore license provider. You can use as an example the Arenaplus and Bingoplus case on PH with PAGCOR regulator always siding with the casino. If a user is seeking a much safer casino to play in, then I guess playing at their local casino(Canada) is much better option since they are protected properly.

Casino with an offshore license like Curacao is not legally allowed to operate in a Canadian province that has its own regulator like Ontario with AGCO. This type of license is in a gray area that only works in countries that have weak or no local regulatory board for gambling. This is why casinos usually restrict countries like this one to avoid legal problems.


This casino doesn’t have a disclosed certified ADR which is required by the Curacao license. It’s a red flag for me considering that you will have a hard time disputing them since there’s no specific certified ADR that you can escalate your issue.

@holydarkness, do you knew why casino still manage to maintain their Curacao license without disclosed ADR? I know that you are the most knowledgeable user when it comes to this subject.

[Ronsbit]

This is my first time of hearing about this casino here. Funny I can not be able to register with the casino because of some regional restriction issues although I can view the website and navigate through but can't register.
I also noticed something about the casino via trustpilot, their ratings is very poor together with the complaints from users of the platform with respect to their experience but OPs review via OP website is showing a good ratings and this kind of looks confusing.

[Orpichukwu]

…do you knew why casino still manage to maintain their Curacao license without disclosed ADR? I know that you are the most knowledgeable user when it comes to this subject.

One explanation for this could be that they are exploiting the 30-day grace period which was given to many casinos since January, and also adding that the Curaçao portal was once offline after the hack. Many casinos which have now updated their dispute resolution policy were using pending status, which I can't even find in Hollywin. Since Curacao has not revoked their licence, I believe it should have something to do with pending approval.

In between: are hollywinz.com and hollywin.com the same?

Anyone played at HollyWin from Canada?

Unfortunately, the HollyWin casino from Canada, is very new to us here, the only time I've seen it in this discussion.
Unfortunately the casino:

RESTRICTED REGION
We're sorry, but HollyWin cannot be accessed in your region

However HollyWin casino Canada has a License: Curaçao

For your further questions, perhaps some of the reviews below can give you clues, especially regarding these 3 questions.

Questions:
• How fast were your withdrawals, crypto vs Interac?
• Any KYC issues when cashing out?
• Is the weekly cashback actually worth it?

I hope this helps and that you don't choose the wrong online casino.

Is the weekly cashback actually worth it?

Actually, getting caught up in wagering requirement completely ruin value of cashback. They attach such condition to bonus and cashbacks that, in the end it become nearly impossible to actually make profit from them. Many gambler, lured by such bonus end up draining their account to zero. ultimately cashback is nothing more than marketing trap. Even with Ontario restricted, player in other part of Canada are still getting in through VPN or similar workaround. If any major dispute breaks out don't assume casino operating under Curaçao licence will go out of its way to fight for you.

I see you have affiliate links on your site, no wonder you’ve written this in such a sweet, persuasive tone! However if there isn’t any harsh criticism players are in for some trouble.

This really smells like trouble waiting to happen for those who even try to use VPN because withdrawal might just become the major setback, besides, the wagering requirements is just too much, why not something in the range of about 10x.
I have never really heard of such a platform before and now that I do, I even doubt how legit it might be despite the Curacao license boldly stamped on it.
