Review of Wild Fortune Casino
Having reviewed online casinos for over a decade, I'm actually surprised that nobody has used the Wild Fortune name in the past. We see lots of casinos with heinous names, but apparently operator Hollycorn N.V. was the first to snag this one, which is pretty decent, all things considered. Opened in 2021, Wild Fortune Casino provides games to punters in a limited number of jurisdictions via mobile devices and desktops alike through an attractive looking interface. Is the beauty only skin deep, or are we looking at a truly good place to put down some bets? Let's find out.
Software and game selection
Wildfortune runs on a platform from SoftSwiss, which is a third party casino provider that supplies both the games library and back-end systems to run the casino. The look of the site is clean, and I found it easy to navigate. The casino has both desktop and mobile support, and the site tries to encourage you to install a dedicated app on your device. However I would not bother with this step if I were you because as the "app" doesn't actually appear to be a separate application at all. It is instead just a bookmark that you pin to the desktop or home screen of your device that will launch the website in your browser.
I do have to take some time to praise the site's mobile support, as I found the experience to be just as good as the desktop mode. The clean look I mentioned above carries over here and I enjoyed how smooth everything runs on my iPhone. Regardless of how you choose to access the casino, the experience is good. I didn't have a problem finding the games I wanted to play, but it really helps if you use the filter function to break down the sheer number of games by category. A search bar is also present, which allows you to find a specific game you want to play quickly.
The game library at wildfortune.io is beyond massive. At time I was writing this review, there were 4629 games available for me to play, though the exact number you will see varies depending on your country of residence and the availability of games within. But I think it is safe to assume that the number will probably grow over time as new games are released by their designers. The vast majority of the games available to play are slots, where you'll find games from big-hitters like Netent, Nolimit City, Yggdrasil, Relax Gaming, BGaming, and many others. If you're looking for jackpots, there are dozens of games with their respective jackpot networks attached. The casino does also include their own "Grizzly Pine's Jackpot Mines" progressive, which has a Bronze tier, Silver tier, and Gold tier that can pay out with a minimum bet of just €1 per spin.
Venturing away from video slots, there are a number of standard table games like blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, and others. A number of variants are included, which will let you put down side bets for a chance to win larger prizes. Live dealer games are also available from the likes of Evolution, Atmosfera, and Peter Live. In addition to the slate of standard live dealer games like blackjack and roulette, you'll also find a number of game shows, including Dream Catcher, Cash or Crash, and Monopoly.
Banking and customer support
Using the SoftSwiss platform means that Wild Fortune has a bevy of cryptocurrencies that it supports. You can deposit and withdraw funds using the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Dogecoin, and USDT, among others. There is also some limited credit card support depending on where you live, and you can also use bank transfers for withdrawals.
Unfortunately I come to what has to be one of the biggest weak points of this casino: the policies that limit the amount you can withdraw in a timely manner. First up is the €1000 daily and/or transaction withdrawal limit. This extends to €5000 per week and €15,000 per month - remembering of course that you have to come back and withdraw €1000 per day to even reach these limits. But that is not all dear CL friends, no not at all. If you win more than €22,500 the casino reserves the right to may you out in monthly instalments. And furthermore if you win more than 10x the total amount you have historically deposited into the casino, they limit you to a monthly payout of only €5000. I have rarely never seen a clearer statement from a casino that they do not want to have to pay out large winners, and would prefer that high rollers play somewhere else. This is a curious business strategy but I guess we will see where it leads. A small ray of sunshine though is the fact that should you come away with a progressive jackpot win, the casino commits to paying it out in full without all these restrictions.
Customer support can be reached around the clock using the live chat feature. I always reach out to support to test their response time. In this case I asked a couple of questions about the bonus terms, and I was able to reach a representative in under 20 seconds.
One thing I do feel the need to note is the restricted list of countries for this betting site. The list of places you can't play from is longer than Bill Cosby's accusers, with more than 180 jurisdictions on the no-play list. Be sure to make sure you're not on the restricted list, as you will not be allowed to register, deposit, play, and (most importantly) withdraw winnings if you're restricted. While Wild Fortune's software should catch this, if I have learned one thing over many years of online gambling it is to never, ever rely on the casino to actually enforce their rules in the software itself.
Safety, licensing, and responsible gambling
Wild Fortune operates under a license from the jurisdiction of Curacao. Unfortunately, as regular readers here will know, a Curacao license means absolutely nothing to a prospective gambler. The reason for this is that Curacao operates as a license fee collection business instead of a casino regulator. Casinos love this arrangement because they get an official looking seal to stick on their website and the ability to claim that they are "licensed". Curacao loves it too because they collect an ongoing source of revenue for doing almost nothing. And that is where you come in my dear reader: unwary players are left with the false impression that the casinos are accountable to some sort of regulator. So don't fall for it: the bottom line is that there is no level of trust to be applied when it comes to holding a gaming license from this jurisdiction, and we don't rate a casino better for having this license.
There are a number of responsible gambling settings that you can set on the site. After registering an account, I was able to set myself up with deposit limits, wager limits, set a cool-off period, session limits, and self-exclude myself from the site. Self exclusion does require you to reach out to support, but seems to be a straightforward process.
Conclusion
Looking at Wild Fortune as a whole, there are definitely things I liked, along with some drawbacks that will affect you more or less depending on your budget. The site itself is clean and easily navigable, the gaming library is excellent, and I liked the site-exclusive progressive jackpots that can be won. On the downside, the lack of a license from a recognised regulator and the withdrawal restrictions really put a dampener on things. This casino is pretty clearly sending the message that it is for low-rolling players that don't expect to either deposit or win big.
Comments
I tried WildFortune Casino because I heard good things about its games and bonuses. Here's what I think.
The casino's website looks good and is easy to use. I could play games on my phone without any problems, which was great.
They have lots of different games to play, from slot machines to games with real dealers. The games come from big companies, so they are really good.
They give you extra money to play with when you join, but you have to play a lot to get this money. They also have special offers that make playing more fun.
If you have questions, Support are quite helpful. They are quick to help and know a lot."
It's easy to put deposit and withdraw, but sometimes you have to wait a bit to get your winnings. They don't charge extra fees, which is nice.
WildFortune Casino is top notch because of its fun welcome offers and helpful support.

I quite like this casino. I came across the site recently and tried them out with a deposit. The game selection is good and what I'm looking for in a casino, including my favorite games from popular game providers. I didn't contact customer support as I had no issues with deposit or gameplay. I like some of the promotions they offer and in my session I was lucky enough to make a small profit. I had to verify my account to withdraw winnings, but that took just a few hours. Money was in my account the same day. So far, nothing to complain about, will be coming back.
