These two online casinos are great to compare since they both advertise on TV, sponsor teams and offer players very similar things.

PlayOJO entered the scene with an almighty bang in 2017, it’s hard to believe they’ve only been around for two years. They’ve had an incredibly strong start with continuous TV and Radio promotions.

Leo Vegas Casino are the self-proclaimed ‘king of mobile’. To be fair, they have won a few industry awards to back this up, including two biggies:

• ‘Mobile Casino Product of the Year’ EGR Operator Awards 2018
• ‘Online Casino Operator of the Year’ International Gaming Awards 2017

At the time of their launch back in 2012, they really did come out with some new features were very mobile friendly.

We’ve always liked the name, it’s creative, well-thought out and unique, Leo Vegas has become on of the most recognisable online casino brands to date. The inspiration behind the name comes from Leo is Latin for lion, Vegas is the city of dreams.

They also launched Leo Vegas Sport back in 2017 to a very positive acclaim.

Theme

PlayOJO have a strong player focused and fairness concept behind them. They heavily promote the fact they’re a fair and transparent online casino, with no funny business, which seems to be true. They maintain a lighthearted, yet professional theme throughout their site and TV advertisements. I think everyone’s, spotted the lama and it does make you think of PlayOJO.

LeoVegas has lead with a strong lion theme from day one, from the promotions, logo and advertisements. They even have a lion mascot that shows up from time to time. We use to see more of the LeoVegas lion in the early days, but since the UK government tightened up gambling laws relating to images that may appeal to children, LeoVegas are now not allowed to show full images of the lion.

Background

Both LeVegas and PlayOJO are stand alone brands. This means they’re not associated, connected to or affiliated with any other online casino brands. Think of Bet365, the biggest online sportsbook in the world, they’re stand alone and have their own online casino product. That’s the same as these two online casino brands. Compared to say, Spin Station who have multiple sister brands such as, Temple Nile, Dream Vegas and Casimba.

The biggest positive to this is because both companies are fully focused, dedicated and put every resource into said online casino.

Slots & Games

These two online casinos offer a near identical selection of slots and casino games. You can expect to see Microgaming, Netent, NextGen, NYX Gaming and lots more. That means, both will have famous slots available like Games of Thrones, Mega Moolah and Starburst.

Welcome Bonus

New Players at PlayOJO will get 50 bonus spins on your first deposit with no deposit required. This is a brilliant way to explore they online casino before committing to a deposit.

Leo Vegas have a generous somewhat complex welcome bonus so I’m going to break it down as much as possible into layman terms. Since on site they only describe the welcome bonus in a big block of text, which we dislike.

Leo Vegas have a Casino, Live Casino and Sports Welcome offer, we’ll look at one at a time.

Leo Vegas Casino Welcome Bonus

Get a 20 Free Spins- No Deposit sign-up Bonus & up to £400 in Welcome Bonus Offers + 100 Spins.

Get 20 free (extra) spins upon sign up, no deposit required.

Get a 100% bonus on your first 4 deposits up to £100

On your first 4 deposits of £10-£49 you will get 10 extra spins

On first 4 deposits of £50 and above you will get 25 extra spins

To maximise the LeoVegas welcome bonus you will need to deposit 4 times within 14 days. You will also have to deposit £50 each time, equating to £200 so you can play with £400. Then you will then get the 25 extra spins per deposit equating to 100 extra spins.

Or if you choose to deposit a lower amount say £20 per deposit here’s how the welcome bonus will look, I’ve broken this one down further:

Deposit £20 play with £40 and get 10 extra spins

Deposit £20 play with £40 and get 10 extra spins

Deposit £20 play with £40 and get 10 extra spins

Deposit £20 play with £40 and get 10 extra spins

That amounts to a £80 deposit to play with £160 and 40 extra spins.

LeoVegas sure make you work hard for their bonus!

Promotions

Play OJO often delight their loyal players with OJO plus, The OJO Wheel and Club OJO.

Leo Vegas email their loyal players with weekly promotions and casino offers.

Withdrawal Times

This is always an important factor but often hidden away amidst the terms & conditions.

PlayOJO withdrawal time: 1 – 3 working days, taking into account bank holidays etc. But usual withdrawal time is 24 hours which is the best I have ever come across with an online casino. This also falls perfectly inline with their fair play ethos.

LeoVegas withdrawal time: 1 – 3 working days, but unlike PlayOJO it really is between 1-3 working days. If you’re making a withdrawal on a Friday, just keep in mind that it may not be complete until the following Monday. This is standard practise so Leo Vegas definitely are not doing anything out of the ordinary.

Overall

Both of these online casinos are a superb example of where the online casino industry is at presently. Both casinos are fun and light-hearted yet professional.

The stand out factors for us are:

• PlayOJO simply has the best withdrawal times and actions for an online casino.
• LeoVegas has more products such as the sportsbook, so you can do more in one place.
• The promotions are different between the two and PlayOJO have the same regular promotions. Whereas LeoVegas send out their promotions sporadically, surprising their players on a weekly basis.
