REVIEW SUMMARY
With its logo featuring a flaming red dice – i.e one that’s literally on fire – Ignition Casino lives up to its name. The site forms an all-in-one Bitcoin casino where you can indulge your love of roulette, be it American or European. There are other games to be found here too, from blackjack to slots and poker to baccarat.
Slick, responsive design and mobile optimisation has made Ignition Casino the sort of site that’s a pleasure to browse. Looking will only get you so far though: to experience all the highs and lows of casino life, you’ll need to sign up and prepare to spin that roulette wheel.
PROMOTIONS
Sign up at Ignition Casino and they’ll welcome you into the fold with a €/$2,000 bonus. That’s essentially free cash that you can use to wager on anything you like – and yes, roulette is included. Will you blow it all on black or hedge your bets and try to steadily build up a bankroll? That’s for you to decide.
The bonus cash is dispensed in the form of a 100% match worth up to €/$1,000 to spend at the casino. This is subject to a 25x wagering requirement before it can be withdrawn.
Separately, there’s also a 100% bonus worth up to €/$1,000 to be spent on poker. To claim this, you’ll need to download and install the site’s poker software within 30 days of joining. As you play poker, you’ll earn points which in turn will bump you up the levels, from 1 all the way to 8, where 10,000 points and a total bonus of €/$1,000 awaits.
GAMES
The games at Ignition Casino are sorted into 6 categories: Slots, Table Games, Blackjack Games, Video Poker, Specialty Games and Poker. Assuming you’re eager to give the roulette wheel a spin, you’ll find a quartet of games to choose from in the Table Games section. These are as follows: American Roulette, Classic American Roulette, European Roulette and – yep – Classic European Roulette. If you’re playing the latter title, there’s only 1 zero, not 2, but in every other respect it’s the same as the American version.
There’s no live casino at Ignition, so you’ve no hope of playing roulette in that fashion. Instead, you’ll need to place your inside, outside, neighbour and special bets on the virtual roulette games that are available. Still, to the credit of Ignition Casino, its other games look pretty inviting and provide a plethora of alternative means of wagering and winning, whether playing Baccarat, Blackjack or Caribbean Hold ‘Em. There’s some good slots too; games such as Blazin’ Buffalo, Gladiator Wars and Gnome Sweet Home look like a lot of fun.
Poker
No review of Ignition Casino would be complete without mentioning the poker. It’s a huge part of the site, with the poker tournament play geared around the demands of the US market. Of course US players can’t officially play poker online since the government criminalised it, but thanks to sites like Ignition Casino it’s possible to play in complete privacy using Bitcoin.
In addition to the €/$1,000 poker bonus offered to new players, there are a few other reasons to install Ignition’s poker client. Weekly tournaments including sit-and-go play are hosted weekly, with serious cash up for grabs. There are also some nifty bonuses to watch out for including a Royal Flush Bonus, Bad Beat Bonus and the ability to swap your hard-earned poker points for admission to yet more tournaments.
GAME TYPES
At Ignition Casino, Roulette players will be let down by the lack of Roulette and Live Dealer Games, as only the standard American and European versions are available to play. The casino features other table games, speciality games, and over 160 slots to choose from. They are divided into the following categories: Rival, i-Slots, Progressives, Real Series, 3-5-reel slots and video slots. The casino also dedicates a section to all matters Poker.

SCREENSHOTS
BANKING
To make full use of Ignition Casino, you’ll need to deposit funds into your playing account of course. Once you’re logged in, you’ll find this option under Make a Deposit in your dashboard. You’ve got 3 choices when making a deposit: Bitcoin, credit card or Rapid Transfer. Visa Gift Card is one of the options included under credit card however, and it can be used as a more discreet means of paying by card if desired.
When it comes to withdrawing your winnings, you can do so by Bitcoin, Rapid Transfer or Check by Courier. Should you experience any problems when trying to withdraw, a customer support number is available. When you make a withdrawal request, there’ll be a waiting period of 48 hours for funds to be released. In total, allow 3 days for Bitcoin transactions and 5-10 working days for all other methods.
CURRENCIES
At Ignition Casino, players are a bit limited with the number of ways and currencies with which they can make deposits and withdrawals. The casino welcomes the American Dollar and Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a distributed peer-to-peer digital currency, that is, electronic cash that is stored in an e-wallet, which is safe and easy to use. Roulette players can also make deposits using Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards.

JACKPOTS
All slots with progressive jackpots are connected through a particular network. The shared jackpot develops by claiming a tiny percentage of every bet placed on each slot machine and then adds it to the pot. This jackpot keeps getting bigger and bigger until someone is lucky enough to trigger the progressive pot. Ignition Casino features progressive jackpot slots like Caesar’s Empire with a €/$5K prize, Five Times Wins Progressive also with a €/$5K cashout, and Money Magic with €/$20K in the pot.
SECURITY
Ignition Casino uses all reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of players’ personally identifiable information. The Kahnawake Gaming Commission fully licenses the casino. US players will be happy to know that they can play at this casino. Customer Support Agents can only be reached by phone or a contact form, meaning there is no live chat option.
VERDICT
Ignition Casino is an excellent site for players seeking close to total privacy. The payment options it offers, including Bitcoin and Visa Gift Card, allow players from countries such as the US to get in on the action. The site is well designed and just as easy to navigate on mobile as it is on desktop. The 100% casino bonus worth up to €/$1,000 is also pretty sweet.
Roulette players will likely feel a little short-changed however when it comes to the games themselves. Just 4 variants of roulette and no live games means there’s little to differentiate Ignition from any other casino out there, despite some nice touches. There’s definitely fun to be had and money to be made at Ignition Casino, but it would be fair to say that roulette isn’t its strongest suit.
