Grand Rush

Overview

Totally outrageous. Wildly Original. Daringly different.

That’s how Grand Rush introduces itself to Aussies, the one and only audience this website was designed for. Established in 2006, this place is powered solely by Real Time Gaming, which can brag of a pretty solid choice of pokies but unfortunately, the same cannot be said for table games.

Promotions and bonuses come in abundance ...

... although some of them have really high wagering requirements very difficult to complete. When it comes to payment methods, it’s not a secret, Australian punters have a hard time pinned down by various restrictions imposed on gambling-related transactions, so do not expect wonders here.

However, all residents of Australia and New Zealand can count on a small yet decent selection of banking options (including Bitcoin) that provide for safe and secure withdrawals in the current situation.

By and large, the website looks great and we like the cheery ‘Bottom line? Grand Rush Online Casino is mighty, mighty fine“ but ... as for us, it’d be really nice to see clear information about the license this brand holds. Unfortunately, it’s not the case and we were not able to find any reference to the regulating authority or licensing agency at the website.

Appearance and Usability

As authentic as the Sydney Opera House and as big as the great Outback, Grand Rush lets you play your favorite slots literally anytime and anywhere thanks to their state-of-the-art gaming platform able to deliver premium graphics and intensive animation to all desktop and mobile devices.

The site is well-made and easy to navigate, Live Chat is not just semantics – friendly operators are ready to assist the moment you click the icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. Customer support is also available via toll-free phone and by e-mail.

Although handy FAQ pages are missing, you can take advantage of the comprehensive Terms and Conditions and detailed Banking section. For your own good, set aside enough time and read all the fine print very carefully, thus you will avoid unpleasant surprises.

Games

Assorted as liquorice and divided into several categories, all games can also be searched with the help of a dedicated responsive bar able to deliver what you’re asking for instantly. If you are not after a certain title but rather prefer to have a look at what’s on offer, you can apply various filters such as Free Spins or Max Ways for pokies or Insurance for table games.

Famous across the globe for the high quality of games, RTG produces a very diverse collection of slots that boast a wide variety of themes and pretty extensive betting ranges able to suit gambling styles of both low-rollers and active whales. As already mentioned, the table games offering is far from being mind-blowing but video poker is represented by a decent number of varieties.

Video Slots – Legends of Olympia, Alfa Squad, Rain Dance, T-Rex, The Party Boy, Vegas Road Trip, Captain Shockwave, Double Trouble, Big Cash Win, Polar Breeze, Cleopatra’s Coins, Fruit Serenity, Johnny Jungle, Gunslinger’s Gold, Savanna Safari, Missis Green’s Plant Emporium, Jumping Jaguar, Chakras, Arabian Nights, Diamond Dragon, Gems in Jewels, Rise of Spartans.

Video Poker – Jacks or Better, Aces & Faces, Deuces Wild Bonus, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Triple Double Bonus, Deuces & Joker, Bonus, Deuces Wild, Bonus Deluxe.

In terms of table games, you can count on only one yet advantageous single-zero European roulette and several blackjack variants including Atlantic City, Single Deck, European, and the Vegas Strip. In addition to that, there is a number of keno releases.

Promotions

Although a bunch of gripping offers is just at your fingertips, remember that “haste makes waste” and do not rush into making important decisions. The Sign-Up package consists of a hefty match bonus and free spins and looks really awesome but so do all other daily treats intended to fuel your bankroll and make having fun even more exciting.

Besides special promos for punters who …

… deposit via certain payment methods, Neosurf or iPayDirect, for instance, there is an extremely spicy Pokie Power run on a weekly basis to promote the hottest video slots. Moreover, all registered and depositing players can benefit from a truly unique Free Bonus Bonanza and get a mystery prize on the 13th of every month. What we see as a downside of this Grand Rush extravaganza, it’s high wagering requirements: generally, all bonuses come with a 40x playthrough while deposit-match goodies greater than 100% have a rollover of 60x.

The website has a five-tier loyalty scheme, where punters can earn comp points for placing real-money wagers and later use them for purchasing various gifts or taking part in special promotions. Undoubtedly, one of the major perks of this program is higher withdrawal limits: Gold Mine tier players are entitled to $5,000 per week paid in full.

Cashier

Keeping pace with the latest standards in the industry, this website aims to facilitate fast, safe, and hassle-free payment processing and takes advantage of a number of security measures advanced security technologies and transactional integrity safeguards.

If you think that the choice of deposit methods is rather narrow, what would you say about the list of withdrawal options that boils down to just two opportunities – credit cards and Wire Transfer? Bitcoin, inexplicably, is available only for funding your account but not for netting out eventual winnings.

Just a heads up, even though all withdrawal requests are processed daily, payments to player accounts only take place every Monday and Thursday. And one more thing, the minimum amount you can withdraw is $100, plus there is a service fee that can go up to $30 per transaction.

Conclusion

Pros: No max cashout for Match Bonuses not exceeding 100%. Multi-channel customer support incl. phone and Live Chat. Attractive privileges of loyalty scheme. Daily promotions. Bitcoin-friendly.

Cons: No info about the license. All bonus Spins have a maximum withdrawal of $100. High wagering requirements. Narrow choice of table games. Max winnings from 100%+ match bonuses are capped at $1,000.
