Launched in 2005, Hopa is an online scratch card casino. It is licensed and regulated by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta and is a wholly owned subsidiary of NG International Limited. Hopa takes your gaming seriously. They ensure the security of your information with 128-bit SSL data encryption technology and the latest firewall and they aim for fair gaming at all times. Today, Hopa is one of the largest online scratch card casinos available and this is due to their large selection of games, 24/7 customer service support and worthwhile bonuses. Hopa claims that every third scratch card at their site wins offering you more chances to cash out.

Software and Games

Hopa uses software from the Neogames Platform. The software is available in a downloadable version and, more recently, in a no-download flash version as well. Players can choose to play for real money or for fun. The fun mode is a useful way to trial the software, but if you play for fun you cannot cash out any winnings. There are more than 50 different scratch card games for players to choose from and Hopa regularly adds more cards to this number. These include fantasy scratch cards, sports scratch cards, casino scratch cards and slots. There is something for everyone at Hopa.

Bonuses and Promotions

New customers at Hopa are eligible for a no deposit bonus of $5. Just sign up to the casino, but before you make a deposit you can claim the $5 to use to trial the casino. Once you have decided to play at the casino for real money, make a deposit and you will be eligible to claim a 100% match deposit bonus up to $200 on your first deposit at the casino. Hopa offers special promotions and bonuses on a regular basis and during the month of March they are offering one free game per day to all of their players. If you refer a friend to the casino you will be eligible for $25 free once your friend makes a deposit at the site.

Hopa runs Club Pearl, a VIP loyalty program for their customers. Members of the VIP club are eligible for many added benefits including special bonuses and promotions, extra games, tournaments, raffles, faster withdrawal options, better depositing deals and a personal account manager.
