UpUp Casino
Overview
UpUp Casino is up and running, but there's something that needs saying plainly: nowhere in its own published materials does the site name an actual legal entity behind it, it only ever refers to itself as "UpUp Casino," "the Company," or "the Sponsor/Promoter." Word from management is that a formal corporate name is coming within weeks, but nothing had materialized by the time this was written.
Games
On the plus side, this is a surprisingly deep catalog for a site this new, pulled from over thirty studios and including several top-tier providers you don't often see at rival sweepstakes casinos. That strength is real and deserves its own mention, separate from the concern about who actually owns the place.
Getting your money out
Signing up triggers a no-deposit bonus, though UpUp never states the amount, and by most accounts it isn't consistent from player to player, one documented instance even shows someone getting less than they were originally told to expect. Withdrawals go back to whatever account funded Gold Coin purchases, or alternatively to a designated bank account, though we found no published list of payout methods, no stated processing timeline, and no named payment partner anywhere on the site. The redemption floor sits at $50. Sixteen states are off-limits, Indiana and Maine having joined that list not long ago, and Canadian residents can't participate at all. Playing requires being a US resident 21 or older.
What's good
- A surprisingly deep 30+ studio library that includes top-tier names
- A cashout floor of $50 that's on the lower end for this category
What's not
- Still no named legal entity despite an earlier promise of one "within weeks"
- Bonus size is kept secret and appears to shift depending on the player
- Payout methods and turnaround times go entirely unpublished
- 16 states are already excluded, and that number keeps growing
Frequently asked
Who legally operates UpUp Casino?
Honestly, it's not clear. The site's own materials only ever say "UpUp Casino," "the Company," or "the Sponsor/Promoter," never a real legal name, even though management claims formal identification is on the way.
How much is the welcome bonus?
UpUp doesn't say. What we do know from player reports is that the amount isn't fixed, and at least one player says they got less than what they'd initially been promised.
Is UpUp Casino available in my state?
Sixteen states can't access it, with Indiana and Maine among the more recent additions to that list. Canada is excluded entirely, and anyone playing from the US must be at least 21.
