SmokAce Casino Review: Claim dozens of free spins every day

SmokAce outclasses many competitors with both quantity of games, and variety, featuring very few filler games by no-name studios. I immediately spotted some of Canada’s most popular online slots while browsing the games collection. Navigating is easy with quick tabs for new games, ongoing tournaments, and jackpot slots among others. I found the games were reliably quick to load and ran without noticeable lag. Overall, I think SmokAce is the gold standard for casino game collections.

I was stunned by the number of bonuses SmokAce offers, blowing away other bonus-centric online casinos like LuckyKoala. Most notably, the casino features a “daily bonus map” allowing you to redeem at least 30% deposit matching plus free spins in a variety of slots games. These promise reliable value, and when paired with evergreen bonuses like weekly reloads and cashback add up to a ton of free games courtesy of SmokAce. No matter your playstyle, you’ll find a bonus just for you.

SmokAce employs several crucial security measures to protect players’ personal data, including 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. The casino holds an active license from the Curaçao Gaming Control Board, one of the world’s top regulators for online casinos. I also saw a few best-practices that speak to the honesty of SmokAce Casino, like having their Terms & Conditions, bonus terms, and privacy policy clearly on display. Another example is the ability to set-up two-factor authentication to help secure your account.

As an advocate for responsible gambling, I like to see a casino put support tools front-and-centre. While this isn’t the case at SmokAce—most responsible gambling support is just suggestions buried in a block of text—you can email customer support and opt-in to self exclusion for a period of between six months and five years.

It’s immediately apparent that SmokAce offers very flexible banking with plenty of options, so players will always have their preferred payment method available. And the casino uses its SSL encryption plus a firewall to keep your banking data secure. I was happy to see a number of important quality-of-life features, like instant deposits, fast withdrawals, and no transaction fees.

My biggest pain points are that bank transfers are not available for withdrawals—although Interac is a viable alternative—and the large gap between available deposit and withdrawal methods means that you’ll likely have to use two different payment methods at SmokAce.

SmokAce Casino is totally mobile-optimized, so you can play from wherever you want from your smartphone or tablet. There isn’t a standalone SmokAce app, nor any rumours of one in the works, but you can play through your mobile browser just fine on both Android and iOS devices. While this can’t compare to a true casino app like that available from Jackpot City, the mobile site is more than satisfactory.

I tried SmokAce on my Android phone and had a fantastic experience. The mobile site keeps a menu bar visible at all times so you can easily navigate between your account, the games collection, or customer support. I did encounter some lag while loading and playing casino games, but it wasn’t so bad as to ruin my experience.

SmokAce offers well-rounded customer support, firstly through an FAQ section and a support email. I received a response to an email query within the hour. As well, a 24/7 live chat is available at the click-of-a-button from anywhere on the casino site via a pop-up in the bottom-right of the screen.

When I spoke to the live chat reps, they were perfectly polite and quickly responded to my questions in less than a minute. Unfortunately, the answers I received left something to be desired, giving broad responses instead of clear, actionable solutions. I also found the FAQ section to be rather bare, so I hope to see SmokAce polish its customer support in the future.

SmokAce works hard to stay out of the way and make exploring the casino a breeze. Registration was quick and intuitive. I personally adored the casino website—SmokAce has clearly put a lot of work into building a very user-friendly layout. The visual design is that of an Old Western saloon, with wood texture and cowboy paraphernalia scattered throughout. I wasn’t particularly taken with the aesthetic, but it wasn’t visually noisy or distracting, which I appreciated.
