Breakout Casino Review
Closed
Casinomeister's Verdict
I have known the operator for a long time, and he is well respected in the industry. Sadly this casino brand closed in 2018.
Breakout Casino has now shut down; this page serves to educate our readers on why we didn’t recommend our players to play there, and it will show you a very brief overview of what the online casino offered when it was live and in operation.
First Impression
Please note: Breakout Casino and all UKGC Casinos no longer accept credit cards.
This is a fairly new casino that is licensed by the UKGC, they have a nice selection of games – NetEnt, Pariplay, iSoftbet, Microgaming, Playson, and Evolution Gaming
Breakout Gaming payouts seem to be pretty quick. They also have a number of depositing methods as well.
They also have their own bitcoin currency: Breakout Coin. Breakout Coin (BRK) which is digital. Once you have opened an account in the casino you’ll have access to this. BRK is traded on the open market which means that it has a limited supply – so the more people that use Breakout Coin, the higher its value.
Opening a casino account is rather easy – I opened mine in minutes and deposited via Neteller. One caveat – they have no live chat – only email support. This may be an issue for some folks.
Please read carefully full Terms & Conditions of Breakout Casino
Don’t gamble if you are less than 18 years old. Gambling can cause addiction, so gamble responsibly – https://www.gambleaware.org/
Updated note from 3.18.2022 Breakout Casino was a rogue site – and we’re glad it’s no longer in operation. Our players were advised to steer well clear.

Breakout Casino Bonuses and Promotions
As Breakout Casino had such a poor reputation here at CM their bonuses and promotions weren’t really worth talking about even when they were still operating – let alone now, while they’re shut down!
Banking & Payment Methods
The online gambling site offered a wide variety of payment methods, and they accepted most major debit and credit cards, EWallets and some other country-specific banking options.
Withdrawal Speed
The withdrawal speeds at the online casino could be very slow; it was a frequent complaint from players.
Responsible gaming
The online casino had a poor reputation when it came to responsible gambling; they only did the bare minimum to comply with their online gambling license.
Customer support
One of the things that can really make a break casino – especially when it comes to their reputation – is the customer support facilities on offer, and when they were in operation, Breakout Casino did a really good job of making sure that players were looked after and that their questions, queries and complaints were taken care of efficiently and quickly.
They ran a 24/7 live chat support service which allows you to be connected with a member of the customer support team in just a few seconds directly from your Internet browser window, and we even managed to find players in other casino review websites sharing their praises about some of the different operators that they were connected with.
For those who are unable to use live chat – or, to be preferred not to – Breakout Casino also offered email support, although it is not clear whether their response times were any good or not.
KYC
It’s unclear whether the online casino carried out know your customer (kyc) checks or not.
Website Experience and Features
When writing this review, we took a close look at the overall functionality of the online casino when it was operating – and here’s what we found from some cached images of the site.
From the moment you land on the homepage, you’ll see a simple and user-friendly interface, and the sign-up process is simple, fast, and painless. In fact, it took us less than two minutes to create an account, and all you have to do then is verify your email address and you’re good to go!
During our research, we found the website to be quick, easy-to-use, and easy-to-navigate, with a quick navigation menu that makes navigating around the casino and finding the games you want to play simple and convenient.
While there is no dedicated smartphone app, the online casino does have a fully mobile-optimized website. This can be viewed on any mobile device without the need to install or update any software.
Simply navigate to the mobile-optimized website using the browser on your smartphone, and you’ll be redirected to a special mobile-optimized homepage where you may login or make an account.
Brand games
Providers
Breakout Casino offered a pretty large selection of games – coming from game developers like NetEnt, Microgaming, BTG and Betsoft. They offered everything from video slots and casino table games to live dealer games and video poker.
About the Team and History
Breakout Casino operated under a parent company called Radon B.V. who were Curacao-licensed and were known in the UK under the white-label brand ‘Pariplay’.
Complaints and Track Record
Complaints and Track Record
When they were operating, Breakout Casino had mixed reviews – but we think Dunover sums it up well with this post in the forums:
“Breakout Gaming is part of the Breakout Gaming Group, owned and operated by Breakout Playa Limitada, a Costa Rica registered company.
First alarm bell.
Players residing in the following countries may not open an account at Breakout Gaming: Afghanistan, Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Libya, Macau, Myanmar, Netherlands, N. Korea, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Spain, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, UK, USA. Note that this list is subject to change without prior notice.
Second alarm bell – the OP’s moniker states the UK – you should not be allowed to sign-up, they have NO UKGC or MGA license, only that rogue Cup-o-cocoa sub-license.
Withdrawals may take up to 3 working days to be reviewed and approved. Once the withdrawal is approved, it will take between 2 – 8 business days to be processed.
Third Alarm Bell. Fack off!! – up to 3 days just to LOOK at your w/d then 2 more days to process it!! :rolleyes:
Any withdrawal amounting to more than £/€/$1,000 variance may be split via credit/debit and bank wire e.g. player deposits £100 and wishes to withdraw £1,400, £100 (original deposit amount) will be withdrawn to credit/debit card and £1,300 via bank wire. Should this occur, there will be a £35 fee as per standard bank wire charges.
Fourth Alarm Bell – yeah, right!
Breakout Gaming will implement additional verification procedures for any payout that exceeds the equivalent of £250 and reserves the right to carry out such verification procedures in case of lower payouts.”
