Amazon Slots Casino Ontario Review

I saw a lot of potential in Amazon Slots casino but some things did leave me feeling frustrated. In order to accurately compare Amazon Slots casino with other online gaming sites, it’s essential to factor in what you are looking for. 

If safety is the most important aspect for you, this is a site that ticks every box for Ontario players. But if you want all the bells and whistles that the largest online casinos are able to offer, it could fall short in some areas. 

For example, withdrawal fees could be removed; I don’t feel players should ever be penalised for cashing out their winnings. Payment options could be expanded to include more e-wallets and possibly, crypto. And the implementation of live chat before registration would massively improve the player experience. 

At the same time, the site is professional yet fun, and has a wide selection of game types along with consistent bonuses.

The sign-up process is conducted in a simple five-step process at Amazon Slots:

Many online casinos in Canada have a very strict Know Your customer (KYC) policy in place where you need to send multiple documents to verify your identity. Amazon Slots also follows KYC protocol, but their approach is more random. You may be selected for KYC, or you may simply be able to play without it.

Your odds of going through a KYC-style check will increase the first time you try to cash out. If you do need to verify your identity, you may need to provide:

These documents may also need to be notarised.

If you review Amazon Slots’ banking options you’ll see they only have Interac and MasterCard. This is much more limited than many other top online casinos. 

You can easily make a deposit in the cashier section, but you also have the choice to use their Quick Deposit and In-Game deposit features. These are handy if you have limited time to play games at Amazon Slots, but unfortunately it’s not all smooth sailing with payments at this site. I noticed that you cannot withdraw for free. There is a C$2.50 fee attached to any withdrawal.

You must withdraw using the same method with which you deposited, at least up to the value of said deposit. This is fairly standard but, along with the withdrawal fee and limited payment methods, there’s plenty of room for improvement when it comes to banking at Amazon Slots.

One of the first things you’ll experience as part of your Amazon Slots welcome bonus is the ever-present Mega Reel, where you can win up to 500 free spins. There are also plenty of bonuses under the ‘Promotions’ tab for you to enjoy as an existing member.

While 500 free spins might sound appealing, when you review Amazon Slots’ terms and conditions you’ll see that your casino bonus comes with 65x wagering requirements. This is on the higher end for a turnover requirement. Because of this, Amazon Slots bonuses are best treated as fun money to enjoy games at the site, and unless you’re a high roller, you’re unlikely to fulfil your playthrough and turn the bonus into real cash.

The majority of Amazon Slots bonuses require a minimum deposit of C$10 to be claimed. Additionally, any winnings are often capped at your lifetime deposit amount. So, if your deposit history at Amazon Slots totals C$500 and you win a C$1,000 bonus after meeting the wagering requirements, you’ll only receive half of those winnings, because C$500 would be your maximum amount.

There is also a loyalty scheme in the form of trophies, but this is geared around unlocking Mega Reel spins and so it suffers from the same limitations outlined above in my review of Amazon Slots.

In short, there are a lot of hurdles to overcome if you want to cash out bonuses at Amazon Slots. Review the terms and conditions before you base your gaming around one of their offers.

Tap on ‘All Games’ to review titles at Amazon Slots casino. Flick through tabs like ‘Hot Slots’ and ‘Newest’ to filter through certain types of slots or, if it’s not your first time, you can tap on ‘My Faves’ to bring up a list of games that you have enjoyed previously.

Casino games are supplied by around half a dozen different software providers, including recognisable names like Play’n GO and Pragmatic. I also noticed the NetEnt modern classic Starburst, which is one of the most popular slots around. I couldn’t see any specific tab for jackpot slots, but they do exist – you just need to look for them manually.

If you run out of funds you can make in-game deposits without having to close down your slot and tap through to the cashier. This is quick and convenient, especially when you’re playing Amazon Slots casino on mobile.

More than 65 games are housed under the ‘Table Games’ tab, although the majority of these are actually live casino titles like Mega Roulette Live and Ontario Blackjack.

There is not currently an Amazon Slots casino app, but you can easily play on mobile. Just enter the usual URL into your phone’s browser to bring up a mobile-optimised version of the site, with rearranged menus and different-sized buttons.

The response times I observed over the course of my Amazon Slots casino review were up there with most top online casinos. I didn’t notice any lag or long waits when opening up new slot games.

If you just quickly review Amazon Slots casino’s ‘Help’ section, you might see a mention of ‘24/7’ and assume they have live chat. This is not the case. The ‘24/7’ refers to your ability to look at their FAQ section whenever you want.

You can only contact the live chat team if you are a registered customer. Alternatively, drop customer support a message via email and allow a day or two for a response.

Amazon Slots casino is only available to players in Ontario, and so it makes sense that the site uses a licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. The registration number is provided in the footer of the website and, having checked it, I can confirm it’s currently valid.

The casino operates under The Six Gaming Ltd., an i-Gaming operator focusing on Canada. Although they are not the biggest operator, everything here is legitimate. They have a valid licence, operate KYC checks and have fair gaming policies in place. After testing the site and researching licensing and ownership, I can confirm that this is a 100% safe online casino.

Amazon Slots casino provides links to Ontario iGaming, ConnexOntario, and GAM STOP, indicating that they acknowledge their duties in helping you to gamble responsibly.

You can set daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits to keep things in check. You can also set a loss limit, or self-exclude entirely. All of this can be done by emailing the support team.

The site uses secure network topology with intrusion prevention and Firewalls, alongside encrypted communication, to help reduce the odds of your private information being hacked.
