Treasure Mile casino is a smaller online casino with a Curacao license (you can check the licence here), part of the Lotus Players Club Group of Online Casinos. I was a member of this casino group for about 6 years (specifically the flagship website, the Black Lotus casino), I’ve seen the group change hands and expand into a decent casino from its humble beginnings, in operation for 8+ years. (Sadly they no longer accept players from my country so my player account was closed.)
I spent years playing in Black Lotus casino and also in the Grand Eagle casino. The other casinos of this group are: Lucky Creek, Treasure Mile – this one, Mandarin Palace, Big Dollar, Lotus Asia – but I recommend registering at the Black Lotus website, it’s the flagship casino of the group that gets the most attention, has the most games, best bonuses and it is the most well maintained.
Treasure Mile casino has average games (it was much worse just a few years ago, they had really bad games and only like 50 slots, glad to see they improved, definitely going in a good direction in this regard). In all fairness, there is barely any difference between many of the casinos of this group: same games, same parent company, same customer support, same license, same issues, same flaws, only the design of the website seems to be different.
I trust this group. I trust them completely, I always got my winnings, all of it, no matter how much I win. However, the most I withdrew at once was $3000. I never one more than that. There are mandatory ID check of course (it’s mandatory, all casinos do it, international money laundering laws require all casinos to do this), but no unnecessary delays. However, I heard that it’s much more difficult and takes much longer to receive your winning if it’s over $5000, ut more on that in the “deposits and withdrawals” section of the review below.
If you don’t have time to read the full review and you are just looking for a short summary, just read this: The casino accepts players from the USA. Considering this is a US casino (US casinos always have worse and less games due to legal issues) it has an average selection of games, with Saucify, Rival, Betsoft, Genie games, 200+. However, I still don’t recommend it, Black Lotus casino (click here to read the review and the access the website) is the main casino of this group and it is significantly better, I recommend registering there over this one. Also, if you are from the US, I would not recommended any casino of this group, there are much better casinos for non-US players.
If you are not from the US I recommend this casino, you can read the full review here. Much better, more and better games, 1000+, but does not accept US players at all.
Review methodology: In each section I review one of the primary attributes of the casino, these are: list of countries not accepted, list of games, deposit and withdrawal process and methods, uniqueness. Each of these aspects then gets points ranging from +2, meaning exceptionally good to -2, exceptionally bad. Additionally at end of the review I go through what I consider to be less important secondary attributes, such as live support chat, VIP, loyalty program, mobile compatibility, other reviews, bonuses, promotions.
At the end I tally all the points and add and subtract them from 10. This will give the final score of the casino. I use a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being the best and 1 being the worst, no 0 or minus scores.
Treasure Mile online casino review
1., Who can play: The most important thing for a player in a new casino is whether you can actually play or not, so here is the list of all the countries not accepted at Treasure Mile Casino. So before you read any further let’s determine whether you can actually play at the casino at all.
/Clarification: The country of your residence, your official address, what’s on your ID card (or address card if it’s a separate thing in your country) is what you should be checking, not your current residence. So if you are from the UK and you currently temporarily reside in the US, you should put down your UK address. It’s important, because if you win, they will ask for your ID and/or address card to make sure you are who you said you are on the registration form, and they will check the address on your ID, if it’s not the same as what you put down during registration they will instantly perma-ban you. And all your winnings will be confiscated, no matter how much you won! Be careful! /
Treasure Mile Casino prohibited countries and territories
Treasure Mile Casino casino review - list of countries not accepted
Treasure Mile Casino does not accept players from:
- Australia
- Curacao
- France
- Germany
- Hungary
- Netherlands
- South Africa
- Switzerland
- United Kingdom?
- United States?
Everyone else can register and play at the casino.
It’s a short list. Ver few restricted countries. They get +1 points for accepting players from many different countries. I added a “?” at United Kingdom and United States. Clearly, you can register and play from the states, or the UK, it’s one of the selling points of the casino. They are always described as a US player accepting casino on every gambling blog. And if you check the registration form you can select both the UK and US as your country when trying to register. Clearly not true. That’s quite a big mistake in the terms & conditions (that’s where the list of the countries not accepted is) and I wouldn’t be surprised if it would cost them quite a lot in a lawsuit, down the line. But hopefully they will fix it in time, -2, it’s a big and potentially costly mistake for the company, really unprofessional.
Just like all the other casinos of this network Treasure Mile aggressively tries to push the registration form in your face, trying to force you to register, it’s unnecessarily agressive. I can’t check out the games, no demo mode, can’t read the details of promotions, almost everything on the website is hidden behind the registration form. -1 point
Accessibility, number of countries accepted: +1
Issues with terms and conditions: -2
Aggressively pushing registration: -1
2., Games: The second most important thing to players is the number, and also the quality of the games. Some casino game developers are just better than others, Net Ent, Microgaming, Bally to name three of the biggest, but the best software developers are only available to European casinos. However, Lucky Creek works with Saucify (a good software developer) Betsoft (average, below average games), Genii (below average and some bad games) and Rival (below average and bad games). It’s a mixed bag but there are some good games there, above average selection for a US casino enough to satisfy even returning players for months (and they keep adding more regularly). 169 games, mostly slots, table games, no poker, classic casino games, no live dealers. (Black Lotus, the main website of the company has 260 games, a 100 more.).

Games: -1
3., Deposit and withdrawal options: The third most important thing to a player are the deposit and withdrawal options. You obviously can’t win anything unless you bet money. And in this area Treasure Mile needs to improve too. To deposit money the following options are available:
- Credit cards
- Skrill
- Neteller
- Ecocard
- Bitcoin
Treasure Mile Casino accepts credit cards! Which is great for US players, because due to legal reasons credit card companies refuse to deal with most US casinos. This is one of the few exceptions. They also accept Bitcoin. More methods than most casino that accepts US players, most of them definitely don’t accept credit cards or Bitcoin.
However, these were only for depositing money, for withdrawing money the following methods are available:
- Skrill
- Ecocard
- Bitcoin
- Neteller
- Cheque
Just like every other US casino credit cards are available for withdrawal. It’s definitely an inconvenience that they don’t just send your winnings to your credit card, the same card you used to deposit, but that’s the law. Payment processors are independent third party legal entities and it’s really strictly regulated, international transactions especially. Luckily they still do Bitcoin, Neteller, cheque, wire transfer.
A big issue is that the minimum withdrawal amount is $150. I can understand a limit of $50, because of the extremely high cost of wire transfer in the US, but $150 seems excessive.
Still, they get -2 point deduction for limited options to withdraw funds and having a relatively high minimum withdrawal amount. (Use Bitcoin or wire transfer to get the money you won, I live in Europe, wire transfers are free, that’s what I used. I got my money in a few days. But if you live in the USA, Bitcoin or Neteller might be better to avoid the crushing, usually $50-30 fee for international wire transfers. It’s crazy how expensive wire transfer is in the US! Unbelievable! The casino doesn’t cover the wire transfer cost, they deduct it from your winnings.)
Limited options to withdraw money, high minimum withdrawal amount: -2
4., Uniqueness: And the last one I think we all are looking for in an online casino is innovation, unique and interesting new online gambling games and features. Anything that makes you “Wow, that’s amazing.”. Does Treasure Mile have the so called ‘wow-factor’? No. It’s an average casino. It accepts credit cards, that’s unique for a gambling website that accepts US players, but only for depositing money not for withdrawing so that’s not enough to be considered unique. It has Saucify, Betsoft, Rival games. But so do a lot of other gambling websites. No unique games, no live dealers, 80% of the games are just plain old 5 reel slots, many are 5+ years old and not mobile compatible. This is an average, actually slightly below average US online casino, but nothing special or unique.
Innovation, interesting, unique features/games: 0, none
Total score: Treasure Mile Casino gets 5.5/10, 3/5 stars, average , not recommended. Try the flagship casino, the main casino of the company, it has more and better games and it’s better overall, gets a much higher score, click here to check it out.
