49er Casino Review - Overall
The 49er Casino is a sister casino to one of the most respected in the industry, Sands of the Caribbean. With that kind of pedigree it is no surprise that 49er Casino has also made it into our top 20 list. The fantastic promotions you see in Sands of the Caribbean can also be found in 49er Casino.
To make things even more appealing, 49er Casino have recently introduced the facility to withdraw your cash in pounds, which makes it even more appealing to the UK punter.
The 49er casino is a credit to the Sands of the Caribbean team. We highly recommend you try it out.
49er Casino - Customer Support
49er Casino (like the majority of other Cryptologic casinos) use Ecash and Players Help to handle their customer support. You can either email or phone them (free phone form the UK) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When we tested their responsiveness, we received a replies to our emails within 6 hours which is quite good (but not the fastest around).
One tip here, if you want to get your emails answered faster, send them to the following address [email protected] This goes directly through to the Sands Head Office and completely by-passes Cryptologic. In our experience, you can expect to get a reply from this address within 1 hour which is fantastic. If you can't wait that long then they have freephone numbers direct from the UK and a call back facility that can be requested while you are playing in the casino.

49er Casino - Promotions
Like Sands of the Caribbean, one of the many things that the 49er Casino does very well, is the provision of promotions to keep their players loyal.
The latest monthly match bonus is $75. You simply deposit $100 into you ecash account and then the $75 match is added instantly. There is no waiting 24 hours for your bonus cash to deposited into your account which is ideal. Something to be mindful of with this bonus cash is that it has to be turned about 40 times before it can be withdrawn (visit Best Bonuses to find out more). This is high by anyone's standards but still very achievable.
There are also monthly free entry draws with over $2000 in prizes to be won. All you have to do is wager $25 in the month at the casino and you earn free entry. Simple as that.
The Comp or Reward Progam is where 49er Casino really comes into its own. In our opinion this is the best Reward Program available from any online casino. There are three levels depending on the amounts you wager (not based on how much you win or lose). The first level is similar to most other casino programs in that you earn points for playing the games, which are converted to cash at the beginning of the next month. The second tier is basically free holidays and is designed to reward loyal players. The destinations get better the more you wager but the lowest level entry is $7,500 in wagers for a 4-day holiday to Vegas. This is not too high when you consider that to cash-in the bonus you have to wager $2460! The final tier is very impressive with gifts such as Tag watches, Stereos etc. This gift list is very extensive and can be seen when you go to the casino and follow the links to the Comp Program.

49er Casino - Payments
As you would expect, there are a variety of different ways you can deposit cash with 49er Casino.
One card they are lacking at the moment (like most international casinos) is the Debit Card. This unfortunately means that any winnings over your deposit value will be paid back by cheque which can take up to two weeks (10 working days).
One other payment method worth considering is Bank Wires. At the time of writing this 49er Casino were offering a 10% cash match bonus on all Bank Wires up to $500 in value.
