Black Diamond Casino

Bonus & Promotions

U.S. players are welcome at Black Diamond and they'll be happy to know that the casino offers a $3,000 Welcome Bonus on the first deposit.

There's also a VIP-program on 4 different levels, meaning that the high rollers are taken care of as well. Some perks of this program include getting free weekly bonuses, max bonuses on reloads and also getting cash back every week.

Software & Graphics

In September 2011 Black Diamond Casino moved away from Rival Software in favor for the TopGame platform and the software is - just as most sites on the TopGame platform - well designed and easy to use.

The download and installation process is very quick. It only took me a couple of minutes.

Game Variety

Black Diamond is powered by TopGame, and while the game variety is not as extensive as Microgaming for example, the games you come to expect like Blackjack, Roulette, Video Slots, Video Poker, Classic Slots and Keno are all there.

With approximately 80 games available, and the majority of them being slot machines, Black Diamond does not cause any mass-hysteria in the online gambling community, but in contrast to this the casino found other areas where it really stands out.

Reputation

An easy way to create big fuzz amongst online players is to offer a free bonus, and this exactly the path Black Diamond chose.

Personally, I love the free bonuses because even if they usually aren't that big you still get to try out the software and the games and you can actually expect to keep you winnings, unlike when you are playing in a play money-mode.

Support

According to the casino home page, Black Diamond Casino support service can be reached 24/7 via phone, email or fax and a live support chat within the casino software.

I really like the live chat function, and the fact that you can open it directly in the casino lobby.

No problem is too small and you can really turn to these guys about any questions that might arise while you are playing. I found live support both fast and helpful when contacting them.

Payment Options

Launched in 2009, Black Diamond must still be considered as a new casino but in this area it has some improvements to do.

Sure, VISA, AMEX and MasterCard are available as deposit methods, but you cannot make a withdrawal back to your credit card.

At the moment withdrawals can only be made by bank wire or check. I'm not sure if this is due to the tough restrictions put on the credit card institutions by the US government or because of the TopGame casino software, but hopefully we will see a lot more deposit/withdrawal solutions from the casino in the future.

Summary

The people at Black Diamond Casino have a lot of good stuff going, the exclusive $30 free sign-up bonus being one of them and the glitzy design another.

We would however like to see some improvements in terms of payment potions. That would make the casino more accessible, especially for the US players who can't use e-wallets like Neteller for example.

Some adjustments here and this new casino would come really close to a top score the next time.

All in all, Black Diamond Casino has the potential to really challenge the top names of the industry.

We like: The $30 free bonus and the $3,000 welcome bonus.

We don't like:  Not enough withdrawal options
