Wager Unit has been in operation since 2008, and is licensed in the territory of Curacao Netherlands Antilles. As online casinos go, it's rather unusual being that it doesn't use any of the major software platforms that we're familiar with, and really, it's more of a complete gaming portal than simply a casino.

It is a member of the Safari Casino Group, and uses its own in-house software to both power its games and handle its financial processing. Wager Unit is happy to accept players from around the world, including the United States of America.

Software

Interestingly, Wager Unit's software is an in-house brand, simply known as BTG Gaming, which is part of the Safari Casino Group. There is no download version of the software; everything you want to do is accessible off the Wager Unit website, and runs inside of your web browser.

The plus side of this is that it is cross-platform compatible. There is no system requirement to run the gaming software other than that you have an Internet connection (which you clearly do).

The environment of the online casino is presented as a 3-D virtual experience. You step into a rendered lobby full of players, and click on the areas of the casino that you want to visit. When you see a game you like, you click on it. It's as simple as that.

Bonuses and Promotions

Wager Unit offers the welcome bonus as well as many reload bonuses. The initial welcome package is a 20% match deposit with up to $200 free. Now, this may not seem as much as many other online casinos are offering, but you need to bear in mind that this is more than a casino.

It's also a sports book and a fully featured online poker room. Your account works in all three sections. Given that this is the case, you can't expect them to give you the sort of bonuses that you'd receive casinos where the only option is to blow it all on slots.

You can also claim a 50% bonus up to $200 on all deposits made through Western Union, if you prefer something larger.

Otherwise, whenever you make a deposit into your casino account, you can claim a 10% bonus using the coupon code reg10.

Games

Based on the fact that they code their own software, the games on offer at Wager Unit are unlike those you will find anywhere else. The same sort of categories apply, but the titles are completely unique.

In terms of table game action, you can expect to see Baccarat, Blackjack, both European and American forms of Roulette, and many different flavours of dealer driven poker games. Remember that if you would refer to play full on Texas Hold'em against live players, Wager Unit has a fully functioning poker room with as much action as you can handle.

There is also around 20 different video slot games that I have never encountered before. Of these, I have to recommend Yoshi's Sushi (what a concept!), Cherry Bomb and Road Trip. There's also a full set of decent video poker games.

Don't forget that you can also place sports bets at Wager Unit on pretty much all the major baseball and basket ball events, plus a host of other sports action.
