The Golden Palace Casino launched in 1998, although the website states 2012 to be the date that it was founded. The operator has a history of changing owners and software. It was primarily powered by Playtech, and then switched to TopGame. Today, it runs on and is owned by ProgressPlay – a company that states its date of foundation to also be 2012.
The reviewed location is licensed and regulated by the government of Curacao, and has a controversial reputation for questionable business practices, multiple complaints and outrageous gimmicks. Among such are the face of the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich, bought by the Golden Palace on eBay for $28,000, as well as a haunted walking cane worth $65,000. The label also paid people to tattoo its advertising on their foreheads and backs.
The homepage offers a summary of promotions, games and news. There is no specially developed mobile app, but the design is responsive to all devices, from Android operating systems to iPads, iPhones, etc. There is also the Mobile Games pad for users with portable devices. Entertainment is also accessible via instant play.
Most of the incoming traffic comes from the United Kingdom, Canada and Ireland. The main language used for the content is English, but games are also available in French.
The registration form is standard. An invitation to join is the first thing every new visitor sees. Among several stages of the sign-up process are requirements to specify personal, contact, and banking information, as well as a unique password no more than six characters in length, consisting of letters and at least one number.
