First things first, this version of Gold Treasure is perfectly legitimate. It’s vital to state this right at the start, as there have been multiple versions of Gold Treasure that have been shady, to say the least.

The casino is brand new, so we weren’t surprised that there aren’t that many games here. Despite this, though, Gold Treasure is still able to offer a range of Slots, Fish Games, and Scratch Cards. There also aren’t many notable software developers, but the casino is able to call upon the likes of Relax Gaming and Hacksaw Gaming.

To its credit, the casino does offer an excellent no deposit bonus of 100,000 Gold Coins + 3 Sweeps Coins to all new players, so you’ve got more than enough to explore the library as you see fit.

Of course, games and bonuses are not all that’s important. There are plenty of other factors to consider, which we will be analyzing in our review of Gold Treasure, in order to give you the full picture.

Licensing and Legal Compliance

As Gold Treasure is a sweeps casino, it doesn’t require a license to operate. The casino fully complies with all the necessary sweepstakes laws, which means players have no concerns over its legitimacy.

The casino also employs a standard minimum age rating of 18, and enforces this with mandatory KYC checks.

Unfortunately, the casino is quite heavily restricted in its availability, as players from Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming are unable to access the site.

Score: 15/20

Encryption and Security

Gold Treasure takes the security of its website and its players’ data seriously, as shown by the high-grade SSL encryption software it uses to protect the casino website.

This is used by many casinos as a standard protection measure, so it’s perfectly capable of protecting the casino from bad-faith actors.

Score: 20/20

Reputation & Customer Reviews

Gold Treasure might not have that many reviews on Trustpilot at 254, but it’s important to remember that the casino is new.

Furthermore, the reviews that are there largely praise Gold Treasure, resulting in an excellent average rating of 4.3 stars.

Score: 35/40

General Terms

The T&Cs regarding Sweeps Coins are standard, which is no surprise. All Sweeps Coins are worth $1 of real money, and must be wagered at least 1x to become redeemable.

Even better, the casino only requires 50 Sweeps Coins to make a redemption, which is much more accessible than the industry standard of 100 Sweeps Coins.

Score: 20/20

Final Trust & Safety Score: 90/100

Gold Treasure does offer bonuses, but the results are very much a mixed bag. We’re pleased with what they have to offer overall, but that doesn’t change the fact that many bonuses are missing.

Welcome Bonus

Gold Treasure’s no deposit bonus is simply excellent, as it rewards a whopping 100,000 Gold Coins and 3 Sweeps Coins. This is more than enough for players to explore the games library, and is generous in both free and premium currency amounts.

There are also two first purchase bonuses, with each one offering a 100% bonus on your deal. You can get 500,000 Gold Coins + 26 Sweeps Coins for $12.49, or 1,000,000 Gold Coins + 52 Sweeps Coins for $24.99, and honestly, we can’t pick our favorite here.

Score: 30/30

Ongoing Promotions

The welcome bonuses are excellent, but unfortunately this doesn’t extend to the existing player rewards. Your only options here are a progressive Daily Login bonus, a Referral bonus, and a Mail-In bonus.

The Daily Login bonus isn’t great for the first 6 days, as you can only claim 2 Sweeps Coins each time. However, this changes on day 7, where you can win up to 50 Sweeps Coins.

No, that’s not a typo. The reward really is that big.

The Referral bonus offers 400,000 Gold Coins + 20 Sweeps Coins, as long as the referred player purchases at least $14.99 worth of Gold Coins.

Unfortunately, though, we have to say the Mail-In bonus isn’t worth your time. There’s only 1 Sweeps Coin available here, and it’s going to take a long time to get the reward as well.

Score: 17/25

Loyalty Program

Unfortunately, there is no VIP Program at Gold Treasure at the time of writing.

Score: 0/25

Wagering Terms and Conditions

The wagering T&Cs at Gold Treasure are exactly as we expected, which is very welcome. All Sweeps Coins come with a standard 1x wagering requirement, and each token is worth 1 USD.

However, we were very pleasantly surprised to see that you can make a redemption with just 50 Sweeps Coins, which is far below the standard we’re used to. This really should be normal, but any sweeps casino that makes redemptions this accessible gets big praise from us.

Score: 20/20

Final Bonuses and Promotions Score: 67/100

Deposit Methods

Predictably, you don’t have many payment methods at all. Your only options are Visa, Mastercard, and Skrill. This amount could be larger, although the fact that an eWallet is available is a nice surprise.

Should you choose to make a purchase, there are 6 Gold Coins bundles to choose from, ranging from $2.99 to $99.99. Of these, only the $2.99 bundle doesn’t come with a Sweeps Coins bonus attached.

Score: 15/20

Withdrawal Methods

Redemptions at Gold Treasure are possible via both Skrill and Bank Transfer, and you only need 50 eligible Sweeps Coins to make a request.

Unfortunately, redemptions themselves can take up to 10 days. This is ridiculously long, and it takes away from what would otherwise be a largely painless banking experience.

Score: 18/25

Transaction Security and Fairness

Gold Treasure plays fair in terms of transactions, as the casino is compliant with all the necessary laws. What’s more, the 1x wagering requirement for all Sweeps Coins is in line with the industry standard, so it should be nothing new if you’ve ever played at a sweeps casino before.

As well as this, the casino employs high-quality SSL encryption software as standard, so players can rest assured that their financial information is kept safe. This is especially the case as all the deposit and redemption methods have their own individual security measures in place to offer extra protection and subsequent peace of mind.

Score: 25/25

Final Payment and Transaction Methods Score: 58/70

Website Design & Navigation

The Gold Treasure website isn’t anything special, as the casino has opted for a design that is largely similar overall to other sweeps casinos. More importantly, the layout is clean, which makes getting around easier. Shortcuts to key areas of the website are also made available, so you shouldn’t have many problems getting to where you need to.

That said, there is room for improvement in this area, as although there is a useful search bar, the casino could do with improving its filters for navigating the games library.

Score: 22/25

Mobile Gaming

Although the Gold Treasure website performs well on both mobile and desktop devices, there is currently no mobile app available.

This is disappointing, but it’s not a deal-breaking flaw. Many sweeps casinos don’t make an app available to their customers, especially when they are newly launched.

Score: 12/20

Customer Support

Gold Treasure’s customer support options are solid overall, but improvements certainly need to be made.

On the plus side, we’re very pleased by the presence of phone support, as this provides a human touch that is missing from many other sweeps casinos. The fact that you can get instant replies from the Live Chat is also welcome, as it makes it much easier to get your issues sorted out.

However, the fact that the email support runs on .io doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, and the absence of an FAQ page is also disappointing. That said, this does make me appreciate the rapid responses from Live Chat even more.

Score: 23/30

Responsible Gaming Measures

Gold Treasure has made sure to cover as many bases as possible with its approach to Responsible Gambling. The available tools start with common sense advice, which is appreciated as it can be all too easy to forget the basics when you’re in too deep.

After this, the casino allows players to set purchase limits, play time limits, and reality checks. All of these tools can be adjusted, so players are able to tailor their restrictions to their own needs.

Should these tools not be enough, players can request a temporary self-exclusion, with a variety of time spans available to choose from. Unfortunately though, players aren’t able to lock themselves out, which is annoying.

At the most extreme end, Gold Treasure supplies links to support organizations for problem gamblers. We really appreciate this, as it shows that the casino is aware that they may not be best placed to help all their customers, despite their best efforts.

Score: 21/25

Final User Experience and Customer Support: 88/100

Gold Treasure is worth trying out, but don’t expect to be blown away by any means. The welcome bonus is excellent, but there isn’t much you can do with it at this point in time, as the games library is quite small.

That said, we’re big fans of the progressive Daily Login bonus, especially as it climbs up to 50 Sweeps Coins with patience and luck.

The website definitely needs significant improvements, but it is a good option for some quick fun, as long as you’re in a permitted state.
