KnuckleKings Casino Review

Licence and operator

KnuckleKings is owned and operated by 3-102-949193 SRL, registration number 3-102-949193, San José, Catedral District, 11th Street, No. 664, Costa Rica. The terms and conditions, last updated by the operator on 11 September 2026 and re-read on 4 October 2026, name this company in clause 1 and say it is licensed in the State of Anjouan under the Computer Gaming Licensing Act 007 of 2005. Clause 1 does not print an ALSI number. The footer on those terms, on the bonus terms, and on About prints licence ALSI-202608032-FI2, issued by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros. That footer number is the one this Vault chip prints. The certificate validator was not opened. A neighbouring house's Curaçao OGL is not copied here. You must be 18 or older.

Anjouan is an offshore licence. A named regulator and a footer licence number are clearer than a blank line, but this is not the level of player protection you get from the UK Gambling Commission or the Malta Gaming Authority, and there is no comparable complaints process. English is the binding text. Clause 21.7 sends licence-breach complaints to the operator first, then to Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. Governing law is the law of Anjouan (clause 25.6). No Media Entertainment name is in these pages. The footer lists a contact email (contact at knucklekings.com).

Who can play

Section 4.1.3 of the terms (last updated 11 September 2026, re-read 4 October 2026) lists the countries where you may not open or use an account. The main markets on the restricted list are Germany, Austria, France and its overseas territories, the Netherlands and its overseas territories, Spain, the United Kingdom, the USA and its territories, Australia and the Union of Comoros.

Also excluded on the prohibited list: Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Western Sahara, Burundi, the Central African Republic, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Libya, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Venezuela, Yemen, and any country under comprehensive international sanctions.

The terms also exclude every country on the FATF black and grey lists, as FATF updates them. On the FATF lists of 19 June 2026 that adds Angola, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Kenya, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Monaco, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Syria, Vietnam and the British Virgin Islands. FATF revises these lists several times a year, so the names are not a private list frozen here beyond that published statement.

Ukraine is not excluded as a whole: only the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions are. The minimum age is 18, or higher where local law requires it. Section 3.4 bans VPNs, proxies and any similar tool that hides your real location, so do not try to get around a country block.

Welcome package

The bonus terms (last updated by the operator on 18 September 2026 and re-read on 4 October 2026) describe a Welcome Package of four deposit bonuses, valid from 15 July 2026. Each needs a deposit of at least €20. No bonus code is needed: after a qualifying deposit, the bonus appears under My Bonuses and you activate it there. The scored chest is the first deposit only. The promotions index returned a page and did not render offer cards, so these figures are the bonus terms and the homepage hero, which showed 100% up to €500.

First deposit: 100% up to €500. The chest stays 100% up to €500. Second deposit: 75% up to €500. Third deposit: 50% up to €500. Fourth deposit: 25% up to €500. Those later stages are not this chest.

Worked example from the bonus terms: you deposit €100 and get a €100 bonus. Wagering is 35 times the bonus only, not the deposit, so you need to bet €3,500 in total. Unless a promotion says otherwise, the most you can withdraw from bonus winnings is 10 times the bonus, here €1,000; anything above that is removed when you withdraw. You have 30 days to finish the wagering. “The deposit is not wagered” only says the deposit is outside the 35× count. It does not say the deposit can be withdrawn while the bonus is active. Sticky.

While a bonus is active, the maximum bet is €5 per spin or round. Betting more can cost you the bonus and its winnings. At €5 a spin, €3,500 of wagering means at least 700 spins.

Not every game counts in full. Poker, roulette and video poker count 10% towards wagering; other eligible games count 100%. Some games can be excluded or have their own rate.

No free spins are published with this offer. The usual rules apply: one bonus per player, household and IP address, bonuses cannot be combined unless stated, and abuse can cost you the bonus and winnings.

How we score it: Root Score 7.4

Root Score is Bonusjungle's score for a welcome offer, calculated only from its published terms. For KnuckleKings the published Root Score stays 7.4. It is not recalculated on this pass, and no cut of at least 4 is applied. The published figure already uses the average match of the first three deposits, (100% + 75% + 50%) ÷ 3 = 75%, with the €500 heading, 35× on the bonus, and the 10× cap on bonus winnings. The fourth deposit (25%) is not part of that average. A 10× cap on bonus winnings is not a 5× deposit cashout. The monthly ceiling in the terms (€10,000, or €5,000 when the balance is at least 10× total deposits) is not that cut either.

Root Score does not measure game choice, payout speed, support quality or how long identity checks take. It also does not move with any commission we may earn. Sticky.

Payments, withdrawals and identity checks

Deposits, as listed on the payments page and the help FAQ, are not one settled table. The FAQ says crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin, Solana, Litecoin, Tron and Polygon) is instant with a €10 minimum, and Visa, Mastercard and SEPA start at €20. The payments table that rendered in HTML showed crypto minimums of €1 and a card “buy crypto” minimum of €10. No deposit fees are listed on the FAQ. Which figure the cashier enforces was not resolved, so the three figures stay separate.

Withdrawal times, according to the operator's help FAQ: crypto within 1–2 hours, Visa and Mastercard 3–5 business days, SEPA 1–3 business days. These are the operator's claims; we have not timed a withdrawal. You must complete identity verification (KYC) before your first withdrawal. The FAQ says this means a government photo ID, a selfie holding it and a recent utility bill or bank statement. That is the operator's rule, not a time measured here.

Limits that disagree, and are not merged: the terms set a minimum withdrawal of €10 per transaction (section 8.1). The help FAQ says €20 across methods. The payments table showed €1 on crypto. The maximum is €10,000 per month, or €5,000 per month if your balance is at least 10 times your total deposits (section 8.6). That monthly pair is a cashier ceiling, not a 5× deposit cap and not the 10× bonus-winnings cap. Withdrawals are free if you have wagered your deposit at least once; otherwise the operator can charge 8%, at least €4 (section 8.2). Money goes back to the method you deposited with (section 8.4).

Strengths and limits

Strengths, based on the published terms: a clear first-deposit heading of 100% up to €500; wagering on the bonus only, with a worked example in the operator's own terms; a named company, Act 007 of 2005 in clause 1, and footer licence ALSI-202608032-FI2; crypto plus cards and SEPA, with no listed deposit fees; a clear monthly withdrawal pair in the terms.

Limits: the 10× cap on bonus winnings limits what a bonus can pay out, and it is not an uncapped welcome; the €5 maximum bet makes €3,500 of wagering slow; 30 days is not long; Anjouan is an offshore licence and the certificate was not opened; the welcome is Sticky; VPNs are banned; many countries cannot play, including Germany and every FATF-listed country; no free spins; the withdrawal minimum is €10 in the terms, €20 in the FAQ, and €1 on a crypto row of the payments table; withdrawal times are the operator's figures, not ours.

Who it suits and who should skip it

It may suit adults in an accepted country who want a first-deposit match headed 100% up to €500, who accept 35× on the bonus, a €5 maximum bet, a 10× cap on bonus winnings, a Sticky mark, and an offshore Anjouan licence printed in the footer.

Skip it if you live in a country on the list above, if you would treat “the deposit is not wagered” as proof the deposit can leave while the bonus is active, if you want a UK- or Malta-style licence, if you would need a VPN to play, if you expect free spins, or if €3,500 of wagering within 30 days on a €100 bonus is more than you would comfortably bet. Gamble only with money you can afford to lose. 18+.
