Operator review
El Royale Casino review
Licence: Anjouan (Union of Comoros) · trading since 2020
El Royale has been taking US players since 2020 and names two licensing bodies, Anjouan and Curacao. It is a casino-only site; its pitch is the size of its welcome package, which is also where the small print matters most.

The welcome offer, worked through
El Royale pays its welcome in steps across several deposits, and the per-deposit split is not part of the offer headline we hold, so we do not work it through here. What is published: 230% match up to $20,000 across the welcome package, code ROYALSHOW, with a 40x playthrough.
What counts for it
- A 230% deposit match, among the highest percentages in our US set
- One of the largest published welcome caps in our US set: $20,000
- 4 cryptocurrencies listed for deposits
- $10 is enough to trigger the welcome bonus
What to watch
- El Royale asks for 40x on bonus plus deposit, the top of the usual offshore range.
- The headline total at El Royale is spread over several deposits, not paid on the first.
- El Royale is casino-only: no sportsbook or poker room on the account.
- El Royale has a short record: trading since 2020.
