Casino History
Lapalingo Casino opened in 2016 under Rabbit Entertainment Ltd, a company registered in Malta in 2014. It was particularly popular in Germany and served much of Europe, earning a reputation for game variety, plentiful payment options and notably fast payouts. Rabbit Entertainment Ltd also offered a casino platform featuring games, payment gateways and user management, as well as white-label services for operators wanting to use its platform.
Licenses, Security, and Fair Play
Lapalingo Casino obtained its gaming licence through its owner, Rabbit Entertainment Ltd, from the Malta Gaming Authority; the licence was issued in August 2018. The review describes the MGA as a respected regulator in Europe and internationally, focused on player interests and empowered to intervene when an online casino is suspected of dishonest or illegal activity.
The review says Lapalingo Casino used SSL encryption to protect transactions, a technology also employed by major financial institutions. It also states that player deposits were kept in accounts separate from operating funds.
Bonuses and Promotions
Promotions were a major feature of Lapalingo Casino’s offering, the review says, with deals for new and returning players. These included a welcome bonus, deposit bonuses and recurring tournaments on selected games.
Welcome Bonus
For new customers making their first deposit, Lapalingo Casino advertised a welcome deal of a 100% deposit match up to €500 plus 25 free spins. In other words, deposits of up to €500 would be matched, doubling the deposited amount.
Bonus funds were subject to wagering conditions that had to be met before withdrawal. The stated requirement was 35x the bonus amount, meaning the bonus had to be wagered 35 times. The review considered 35x relatively moderate compared with other online casinos.
The free spins were for the popular Starburst slot, and any winnings were also subject to the 35x wagering requirement. The review listed the following game contribution rates towards wagering:
- Slots: 100%
- Table Games: 20%
- Video Poker: 5%
- Progressive Slots: 0%
- Live Dealer Games: 20%
Other Bonuses and Promotion
The review describes a seasonal tournament at Lapalingo Casino featuring several Halloween-themed slots. Players with the biggest wins on those games could compete for a share of the €4,000 prize pool.
It also mentions a one-time 100% deposit match worth up to €250, with a 25x wagering requirement. The review anticipated additional deposit offers, but this was a prediction and does not confirm that any later promotion was offered.
Loyalty Program
At the time covered by the review, Lapalingo Casino had no loyalty or VIP programme. Support had reportedly said one was in development, but gave no details about its planned features. The review viewed the prospect of a future programme positively.
Payment Methods
Lapalingo Casino offered a variety of payment methods, including credit and debit cards and several e-wallets for deposits and withdrawals.
Transactions and wagers at Lapalingo Casino were in euros. Other currencies could be converted as part of a transaction.
Making a Deposit
The review says Lapalingo Casino accepted fee-free deposits through a broad selection of services: Visa/Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, EcoPayz, Sofort, TrustPay, Trustly and Paysafecard.
The stated minimum deposit was €10, although some providers might require a higher amount. The maximum was €5,000, and the review says deposits through the listed methods were credited immediately.
To deposit, customers signed in and opened ‘Cashier’. On the payment page, they could select a method, enter an amount and supply any additional requested details.
Making a Withdrawal / Cashing Out
The review lists fewer withdrawal options: Visa/Mastercard, Bank Transfer, Skrill, Neteller, EcoPayz and Trustly. Lapalingo Casino claimed withdrawals took 1 to 2 working days, with Bank Transfers possibly taking one extra working day.
Withdrawals of €10 or more were said to be free of Lapalingo Casino fees, subject to maximum limits. The stated limit was €10,000 per week, except for players who won a large progressive jackpot. The review equated this to a monthly cap of €40,000 and considered it reasonable.
Withdrawal requests used a process similar to deposits: customers signed in, opened ‘Cashier’ and chose a payment method to request a cashout.
Game Selection
The review commends Lapalingo Casino’s extensive catalogue, listing more than 1,000 games across slots, table games, video poker, scratchcards and live dealer titles. It also notes the sportsbook as an extra option.
The review says games came from numerous prominent software studios, giving players a broad selection of titles to explore.
The review found slots and live dealer games reasonably easy to browse, while other sections were harder to find. Menu categories included ‘Best Online Casino’, ‘Online Slots’, Live Casino’, ‘Sportsbook’, ‘Sportsbook – Live’ and ‘Casino Bonus.
In a section such as ‘Slots’, players could filter by ‘Categories’, browse ‘All Game Providers’ or search for a title. They could scroll through the results and select the option to load more games.
Casino game software providers
The review names NetEnt, Microgaming, Play’n GO, Evolution Gaming, NextGen and Big Time Gaming among Lapalingo Casino’s leading providers. Their catalogues supplied a wide range of online casino games, according to the review.
In addition to the larger studios, Lapalingo Casino’s game range included titles from various smaller developers. The review lists Merkur, Gamomat, Amatic, Thunderkick, Endorphina, Yggdrasil, Playson, Pragmatic Play, WMS, Wazdan, Pariplay, Oryx Gaming, LionLine and Bally Wulff.
Casino slots
According to the review, over 900 of Lapalingo Casino’s 1,000 games were slots. The catalogue included classic and video slots as well as progressive games with jackpots. The review credits both well-known brands and less familiar studios, describing the selection as more than just a large number of games.
Examples from Microgaming included Terminator 2, Jurassic Park and Kings of Cash; NetEnt’s titles included Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, Dead or Alive and Hotline. The review also highlights Play’n GO games Book of Dead and Reactoonz, along with Big Time Gaming’s Bonanza and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire at Lapalingo Casino.
According to the review, Lapalingo Casino’s progressive jackpot range included progressive jackpot slots such as Mega Moolah, Divine Fortune, Mega Fortune and King Cashalot.
Casino table games
The review says table games at Lapalingo Casino were difficult to find: players first had to open ‘Online Slots’, then choose ‘All Categories’ from the drop-down menu. That section also contained video poker, scratchcards and Keno.
Although they took extra steps to reach, Lapalingo Casino’s table games offered a broad selection, with 105 tables listed in the review. Roulette options included European, American and French formats, along with Key Bet Roulette, HiLo 13 European Roulette, Multi-Wheel Roulette and Roulette Master.
Blackjack also came in numerous versions, including Big 5 Blackjack Gold, Double Exposure Blackjack, Single Deck Blackjack, Mini Blackjack and Blackjack Classic. The review says players could choose from more than 40 Blackjack tables.
The review also lists a range of other tables at Lapalingo Casino, including Craps, Baccarat, Pai Gow, Casino Hold’em, Casino Stud Poker, Punto Banco, Pontoon and Three Card Poker.
Live Casino
Lapalingo Casino’s live dealer selection was small, despite featuring games from two prominent providers, Evolution Gaming and NetEnt. The review counted 8 tables altogether.
The listed tables included one live Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat table from each provider, as well as Evolution Gaming’s Dream Catcher. Rabbit World, a Roulette variant, made up the final table. The review found the selection disappointing and hoped the casino would add more.
Mobile Casino Review
Lapalingo Casino was described as an instant-play site designed for mobile browsing. The review praised the mobile layout, though it noted that lengthy pages and extensive scrolling might frustrate PC users, who had few click-through navigation options.
Lapalingo Casino’s responsive website adjusted its layout to a phone or tablet’s screen dimensions, aiming to provide a good mobile casino experience across those devices.
Customer Support
The review describes Lapalingo Casino’s support staff as responsive and helpful, but notes that contact was limited to an email form and live chat. Support was not listed as available 24/7; the stated hours were 9 am to 11 pm daily. The review also suggested adding phone support and expanding the relatively short FAQ section.

The review identifies Germany as Lapalingo Casino’s main market and says it was also attracting customers in other parts of Europe. It attributes that reach to the casino’s product and welcome offer, and says its reputation mattered to prospective players.
The review flags limited support options, a small live dealer catalogue and the lack of a loyalty programme at the time. It rated other areas positively and expected the casino to address these shortcomings; this was an expectation, not confirmation of subsequent changes.
