The essentials

Vave Casino and Sportsbook at a Glance

Vave launched in 2022 as a crypto casino and sportsbook on one balance. The casino lobby lists more than 6,500 slots and around 1,100 live dealer games from 52 studios, and the sportsbook covers 45 sports and virtual leagues, with a full esports section and horse racing. You play in crypto across 14 coins, and the balance can be shown in euros or dollars while you play.

Our view: Vave is a good fit if you want a very large slot lobby and a proper sportsbook in one place, and you like a welcome package that spreads across your first four deposits. The extras are generous too, with a Thursday reload, weekly cashback, two VIP programmes and monthly slot races.

Vave Player Reviews & Reputation

Vave has more than 170 reviews on Trustpilot and a small footprint on Reddit. Its regulars are loyal, and the same strengths come up again and again.

What players praise most:

  • Quick crypto payouts: one long-time Trustpilot reviewer says no withdrawal has ever been held and the slowest took about an hour, and several others describe payouts as fast and easy
  • VIP managers: players name their account managers and say they answer quickly and look after them
  • The sportsbook: reviewers single out the range of betting markets and the odds, which is less common praise for a casino-first site
  • Game choice: players mention slots they haven't seen on other sites
  • Live chat: described as helpful and quick to sort problems out

The mixed reviews are mostly about withdrawals that sit in review. Some players say a payout took five hours or more, and a few describe waits of several days after a big win while Vave checked the account. A Reddit player who was paid every time noticed that weekday withdrawals were approved faster than weekend ones. If you're planning a large cash-out, request it on a weekday, have your ID ready, and expect it can take longer than a small one.

Offer analysis

Vave Welcome Offer & Promotions (2026)

New players pick a casino or a sports welcome bonus with their first deposit. The casino route carries on with three more deposit bonuses, so the full package runs across your first four deposits.

Casino Welcome Package: Up to 4 BTC + 100 Free Spins

DepositBonusMaximum
1st150% + 100 free spins1.5 BTC
2nd100%1 BTC
3rd50%1 BTC
4th25%0.5 BTC
  • Minimum deposit: 20 USDT or the same in another coin, as one transaction
  • Free spins: 25 a day for 4 days, activated from Active Promotions in your account
  • Time limit: 30 days to wager each bonus
  • How it pays out: the bonus is released in instalments as you wager. You move each part to your balance with the Credit To Balance button
  • Maximum bet: Vave says there's no maximum bet while you clear these deposit bonuses (the free spins are separate)
  • Games: slots count in full; table games and live dealer games don't count, and a list of slots is excluded

Sports Welcome Bonus: 100% up to 1 BTC

  • Minimum deposit: 20 USDT or the same in another coin
  • Qualifying bets: settled singles and multis at odds of 1.7 or higher; repeat bets on the same event don't count again
  • Doesn't count: returned, cancelled, cashed-out and free bets, plus outrights and racing
  • Time limit: 30 days, with the bonus released in instalments as you wager

You choose one or the other on your first deposit. Only one bonus can run at a time, and deposit bonuses can't be stacked.

Casino or Sports: Which Welcome Bonus to Pick

If you mostly play slots, the casino package gives you more bonus over more deposits, and slots are the only games that count toward it. If you mainly bet on sports, take the sports bonus: only bets at odds of 1.7 or higher count, so it suits bettors who already play at those prices. If you mostly play live tables, you may be better off skipping the welcome bonus and using the weekly cashback and Thursday reload instead.

★TrueValue check

We score every welcome bonus by expected value — what it's actually worth after wagering, not the headline number. See methodology →

True Value breakdown

Vave doesn't print the wagering multiple in its public terms. It shows it in the bonus card once the bonus is active. Our calculation models the first-deposit casino bonus on a $100 deposit at 40x the bonus, a common level for crypto casino welcome packages.

150% First-Deposit Casino Bonus = $0 true value

  • Why?: the $150 bonus would need $6,000 of slot play at 40x, and the house edge on that much play is about $180, more than the bonus itself. At any multiple above about 33x, clearing costs more than the bonus is worth.

Overall: a big headline package that's best treated as extra playing time on slots rather than money you expect to withdraw. Because it pays out in instalments as you wager, you keep each part that's already been released. Check the multiple in the bonus card before you start, and skip the bonus if you mostly play live tables, since they don't count. The 100 free spins carry no cash value in our figure because Vave doesn't publish their spin value.

Reloads and Cashback

  • Thursday Reload: 100% up to 2,500 USDT on a deposit made on Thursday (UTC), once a week, for players with at least two deposits. 30 days to wager, released in instalments
  • Daily Deposit Bonus: 10% up to 100 USDT once a day on deposits of 100 USDT or more, from Casino VIP level 2. 15x wagering within 7 days
  • Weekly Cashback: 3% to 7% of your weekly casino net loss depending on your VIP level, from a 100 USDT net loss, up to 100 USDT a week. Credited on Mondays with 10x wagering
  • Football Cashback: 5% of your weekly net loss on football bets, from a 30 USDT net loss, up to 100 USDT. Credited on Mondays with 1x wagering at odds of 1.2 or higher within 7 days

Wheel of Fortune, Races and Tournaments

  • Wheel of Fortune: a Bronze spin when you register, a Silver spin for deposits of 100 USDT or more and a Gold spin for 500 USDT or more, from your second deposit, up to three of each a day. Vave publishes the prizes and the odds for every wheel, from VP points and free spins up to 3,000 USDT on the Gold wheel
  • Slot Race: 15,000 USDT and 15,000 free spins every month, with 1 point for every €1 bet on slots. Prizes carry 10x wagering within 14 days
  • Bettors Tournament: a weekly sports leaderboard with more than 2,250 USDT in free bets across Bronze, Silver and Gold tables. Points come from winning bets at odds of 1.2 or higher
  • Push notifications: 10 free spins once you subscribe, with 40x wagering on the winnings

Vave VIP Programmes

Vave runs two VIP programmes, one for casino players and one for sports bettors, and you join both with your first deposit.

  • Casino VIP: 18 levels. You earn 1 VP for every 30 USDT bet on slots. Level rewards start at 5 USDT + 10 free spins at level 2 and go up to 100,000 USDT at level 18. Rewards carry 10x wagering, and you can swap 200 VP for 1 USDT with 5x wagering
  • Sports VIP: 7 levels that reset every month. You earn 1 VP for every 10 USDT bet at total odds of 1.3 or higher, with bonus VP for each new level. At the start of the next month your VP turn into free bets at 200 VP to 1 USDT, valid for 5 days
  • VIP managers: Vave assigns VIP managers, and many Trustpilot reviewers mention theirs by name

Bonus Terms You Should Know

  • Winnings cap: winnings from deposit, cashback, VIP, tournament and weekly bonuses are capped at 10,000 USDT, and winnings from free spins without a deposit at 50 USDT
  • Maximum bet: 5 USDT with a casino bonus active, unless the bonus says otherwise (the welcome deposit bonuses say there's no maximum)
  • One at a time: only one bonus per person, device and IP address, and only one active bonus at once
  • Real money first: your own balance is played before the bonus balance
  • Cancelling: you can withdraw your deposit before you finish wagering, but the bonus and its winnings go
  • Activation: if a bonus you picked doesn't switch on, contact support before you play, because it can't be added afterwards

Account journey

How to Sign Up at Vave

Opening an account takes a minute, and you don't need to upload documents or even confirm your email to start. You must be at least 18, or the legal gambling age where you live if that's higher.

  1. 01Go to vave.com and click Sign Up in the top right corner.
  2. 02Enter a nickname, your email and a password (at least 8 characters, with an upper-case letter, a lower-case letter and a number).
  3. 03Add a promo code if you have one.
  4. 04Pick the casino or sports welcome bonus. The sign-up form preselects one, so check it's the one you want.
  5. 05Tick the box to accept the terms and privacy policy, then click Join.
  6. 06Choose a coin and make your first deposit from the Deposit button.

Use your real details from the start. Vave can ask you to prove your identity before it pays out, and false details are a reason to refuse a withdrawal.

One account per person is a firm rule. Vave allows one account per person, family, address, email, IP address and payment method, and duplicate accounts can lose their winnings and bonuses.

Where Vave Is Not Available

Vave's terms and its sign-up page exclude players living in these 16 countries:

  • Europe: Belarus, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Russia, Turkey, the United Kingdom
  • Americas and Caribbean: the United States, Curaçao
  • Asia and the Middle East: Israel, Japan

Players in Sweden can use the sportsbook, but the casino isn't open to them. Players in Canada can play everything except NYX (NextGen) games. Vave's terms say it can't guarantee a withdrawal or refund for a player who breaks the restricted-country rules, so only sign up if you live somewhere Vave accepts.

When Vave Asks for ID

You can sign up, deposit and play without verifying. Vave's help centre says most players never need to send documents, and that most withdrawals are approved automatically. It does keep the right to check your identity before any payout, and a withdrawal can be held while that check runs.

What a check can involve, according to Vave's terms:

  • a photo of an ID document showing your name, photo, date of birth and citizenship
  • a selfie holding the ID, sometimes with a sheet of paper showing the site name and today's date
  • a phone call or a live video call with the team

You have 14 days to finish a check once Vave asks. If it isn't done in that time, Vave can close the account and keep the winnings, so answer quickly. Player reviews describe these checks coming most often after a large win.

To get through first time:

  • register with your real name and date of birth, exactly as they appear on your ID
  • keep the phone number on your account up to date, because Vave may call it
  • send clear, unedited photos, because Vave checks ID images for editing

Vave Payments: Crypto & Card Options

Vave is crypto-only for balances, with 14 coins. You can show your balance in euros or dollars while you play, and if you don't own crypto yet, the cashier links to third-party services that sell it to you by card or bank transfer. Vave itself charges no deposit or withdrawal fees.

Minimum deposits differ by coin and move with the market. A deposit of 20 USDT or more is needed for the welcome bonuses.

Switching Coins

Each coin is its own balance. To play with a different coin, open the currency menu next to the language button and pick it; the lobby and sportsbook then use that balance. If you take a welcome bonus, finish its first stage before switching coins: Vave's terms say you can only change currency once the first deposit bonus stage is complete.

How to Deposit Crypto

  1. 01Log in, open the currency menu next to the language button and pick your coin.
  2. 02Click Deposit and choose that coin as the payment method.
  3. 03Copy the deposit address, or scan the QR code with your wallet app.
  4. 04Send the coin from your wallet or exchange.
  5. 05Wait for the network confirmations listed above. Vave says most deposits land within a few seconds to 2 hours, depending on the network.

If a deposit hasn't arrived after 2 hours, check the transaction on a blockchain explorer, then send the transaction details to live chat. Pick your bonus before you deposit: if a bonus you chose doesn't switch on, contact support before you play, because it can't be added later.

Buying Crypto by Card or Bank

Vave's cashier offers a Buy Crypto option for players without a wallet. Its help centre lists these routes:

  • Cards: Visa and Mastercard
  • Wallets: Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Bank: bank transfer and giropay
  • Services: Changelly and Onramper, and Vave's terms also mention MoonPay

These services work like an exchange. You enter the amount of euros or dollars, the service buys the coin, and it lands in your Vave balance. The service sets its own fees and can run its own ID check, and your bank may charge for the currency conversion. You'll still need a crypto wallet to withdraw.

How to Withdraw

  1. 01Click your profile icon and choose Withdrawal.
  2. 02Pick the coin. Winnings come out in the coin you played with, so a BTC balance is withdrawn in BTC.
  3. 03Paste your wallet address and enter the amount.
  4. 04Check the address carefully, then click Withdraw.

Vave says withdrawals are processed as soon as possible and most are approved automatically, with some payment options taking up to 3 days. Players report crypto payouts arriving anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. If you'd rather end up with euros or dollars, Vave's help centre points to Changelly and Onramper for turning crypto into cash.

The rules that apply to every withdrawal:

  • Play your deposit first: each deposit has to be wagered 3 times on casino games, or once on sports, before you can withdraw it
  • Bets must match deposits: Vave can refuse a withdrawal if your bets don't add up to your deposits at odds of at least 1.1
  • Very big wins: a win of 50,000 USDT or more can be paid in equal parts over up to 30 days
  • Limits: minimum and maximum amounts depend on the coin, and amounts above a payment system's limit are paid in instalments
  • Bank charges: a rare bank-transfer payout can carry intermediary bank charges of up to the equivalent of 16 USDT

Send a small first withdrawal to a new address to make sure it arrives, and keep an eye on any ID request, because a held withdrawal only moves once you answer it.

Product depth

Vave Casino Games & Providers

Vave's lobby lists more than 6,500 slots and about 1,100 live dealer games from 52 studios. You can browse by category or studio, and almost every slot has a demo mode: hover over the game and pick demo instead of real play.

Slots

Slots make up most of the library. The big studios are all here, including Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City, NetEnt, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, Relax Gaming, Yggdrasil, Playtech, BGaming, Betsoft, Endorphina and Spinomenal, plus a long tail of smaller studios such as Amatic, Belatra, Fugaso, Platipus and Gamzix.

The lobby is split into categories that make a big library easier to search:

  • New: more than 2,300 recent releases
  • Bonus Buy: around 870 slots where you can pay to go straight to the feature
  • Jackpot: around 500 jackpot slots
  • Hold & Win: around 280 hold-and-spin games
  • Megaways: more than 100 Megaways titles
  • Drops & Wins: about 50 games in Pragmatic Play's prize-drop network
  • Hits: quick-play instant games

The Popular tab was led by titles such as Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, Le Zeus, SixSixSix, Face Off, It's a Joker, Clucking Hell and a run of Hold & Win games when we looked, and the New tab adds fresh releases from the big studios every week.

One feature worth a look is the Hot and Cold Slots panel on the home page. It shows which slots have paid back the most and the least over the last 24 hours, so you can see what's been running hot. It's a record of recent results, not a prediction, and every spin is still random.

Jackpot slots are excluded from bonus play, and Vave keeps a list of individual slots that don't count toward bonus wagering, so check the General Bonus Terms before you pick a game for a bonus.

Vave Games

The Vave Games section holds 17 quick in-house style games: Crash, Dice, Advanced Dice, Mines, Plinko, Limbo, Keno, Wheel, Blitz, Diamonds, Coin, Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat, with several in two versions. Vave shows a 99% RTP for each of them. They're fast, simple games where you set the risk yourself, such as the number of mines on the grid or the multiplier you're aiming for in Limbo.

Live Casino and Table Games

The live casino is one of the biggest we've seen at a crypto site, with Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, Ezugi, Playtech and Imagine Live among the suppliers.

CategoryGames
BlackjackAbout 595 tables
RouletteAbout 237 tables
BaccaratAbout 164 tables
Game showsAbout 94
PokerAbout 24 tables

There are also Spanish- and Portuguese-language live tables. Live dealer and table games don't count toward bonus wagering or the casino VIP points, so play them with your own balance.

Fairness Checks

Vave says every game in its lobby comes from established studios that use random number generators, so each spin or hand is independent. It doesn't name a testing lab of its own. The studios supply the games and their RTP settings, and a slot's own help screen is the place to check its RTP before you play.

Vave Sportsbook & Esports

The sportsbook shares the casino balance and has its own welcome bonus, cashback, VIP programme and weekly tournament. Its menu currently lists 45 sports and virtual leagues, and football alone carries close to 2,000 upcoming events, with more than 100 outright markets. Pre-match and live betting are both available, and there's a separate racing section.

Esports

Esports has its own section, with markets on:

  • Shooters: Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch and CrossFire
  • MOBAs: Dota 2, League of Legends, Arena of Valor and King of Glory

Esports markets usually include match and map winners, handicaps and totals. Trustpilot reviewers who bet sports often mention the choice of markets as a reason they stay.

Bet Types and Features

  • Bet types: singles and multis, with a multibet of the day picked by Vave
  • Odds boosts: boosted odds on selected events
  • Cash-out: available on some bets, including partial cash-out
  • Copy Bets: you can see other players' bets and copy them
  • Leaderboards and Hall of Fame: the weekly Bettors Tournament tables and past big wins
  • Results: a results page for settled events

Bettors Tournament

The weekly Bettors Tournament runs from Monday 09:00 to Sunday 12:00 UTC, and you're entered automatically. Every winning bet at odds of 1.2 or higher scores points on one of three leaderboards (Bronze, Silver or Gold), worked out as 100 × (winnings ÷ stake − 1). A 1,000 stake that returns 5,200 scores 420 points, so bigger odds count for more than bigger stakes. The top 10 on each board win free bets, valid for 3 days, and winnings from those free bets are paid as cash.

Maximum stakes depend on the event and the market, and Vave can set limits for individual accounts. Winnings are capped at 100,000 USDT per bet, 250,000 USDT per day and 500,000 USDT per week, which only matters for very large bettors. Racing has its own cap of €20,000 per race unless agreed otherwise.

Trust & safety

Is Vave Safe? Licence, Security & Support

Vave Licence and Operator

Vave's own pages don't name the company behind the site or print a licence number. The Dutch gambling regulator's published decision of June 2026 identifies the operator as Chestoption Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada, a company based in Costa Rica. Vave's help centre says the site holds a Curaçao licence, but there's no seal on the site to check it against, and we couldn't confirm the entry on the Curaçao register ourselves. Vave has been running since 2022.

In June 2026 the Dutch regulator fined the operator €3.08 million for accepting players from the Netherlands without a Dutch licence; the Netherlands is on Vave's restricted list.

A few practical points:

  • Complaints start with support. Write to complaints@vave.com, or use live chat or the contact form. Vave's terms say a complaint should be raised within 10 days of the problem, and that if management can't settle it you can go to an independent body or the licensing regulator.
  • Disputes go by the server records. If your screen and the game server disagree, the server log decides the result, so screenshots and bet IDs help when you raise a problem.
  • Account rules decide what happens to your balance. Duplicate accounts, false details and bonus abuse can cost you winnings. Closing an account with money still in it costs a €12.50 fee if the balance has to be sent by bank transfer, so withdraw in crypto before you close.
  • Dormant accounts: after 12 months without a login, Vave can charge 10 USDT a month until the balance reaches zero.

Vave Account Security

Vave says it uses SSL encryption on the site and keeps player crypto in cold wallets. Your account is protected by your password, so use a strong one you don't use anywhere else, and don't share withdrawal codes or phone-change codes with anyone. If you think someone else has got into your account, tell support straight away: Vave will consider a refund request within 30 days when another person used the account.

A few more habits worth keeping:

  • Use vave.com. Vave's official social accounts are on X, Telegram, Discord and Instagram, and its blog is blog.vave.com.
  • Check the address before every withdrawal, because crypto sent to the wrong address can't be pulled back.

Vave Customer Support

Support runs 24/7 through live chat, and by email at support@vave.com. Complaints have their own address, complaints@vave.com, and the contact form promises a reply within 24 hours. There's also a help centre with short answers on deposits, withdrawals, bonuses and account questions, in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Turkish.

Player reviews often praise live chat for quick answers, and VIP players regularly name the managers who look after them. When you contact support about a payment, give the coin, the amount, the time and the transaction hash so they can trace it quickly.

Raising a Payment or Bet Problem

Most problems are sorted fastest in live chat. If a withdrawal or deposit is stuck, give the coin, amount, time and transaction hash. If you disagree with a result, give the bet or game details and a screenshot. Vave's terms ask for a written complaint within 10 days of the problem, and claims about Cyber-Live game bets within 72 hours of the game ending. If chat can't fix it, write to complaints@vave.com so the case is escalated.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Vave's limits are set through support rather than in your account settings. Write to live chat or support@vave.com and ask for any of these:

  • Deposit limit: per day, week or month
  • Loss limit: per day, week or month, counted on your deposits rather than your winnings
  • Wager limit: per day, week or month
  • Cooling-off: 1 week, 1 month, 3 months or 6 months. You can't deposit or take promotions, but you can still withdraw
  • Self-exclusion: 6 months, 9 months or 1 year, with the account closed for that time. You can also ask support to block your account permanently
  • Support organisations listed: Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare and Gambling Therapy, plus filtering software such as Net Nanny and GamBlock for parents

Since nothing is self-serve, ask for a limit before you need it, and keep the confirmation email.

Vave Mobile Experience

Vave runs in your phone's browser with a bottom menu built for small screens, and it can be added to your home screen. It also has a Mobile app page with a download link for Android. The iPhone app page says it's coming soon, so on iOS you play through Safari or another browser for now.

Who Vave Suits Best

Vave is a strong pick for players who want a very large crypto slot lobby and a full sportsbook on one balance, with plenty of ongoing promotions. The live casino is huge, the sportsbook covers far more than football, and regulars get weekly cashback, a Thursday reload and two VIP programmes.

To get the most from it, pick your welcome bonus before your first deposit, check the wagering multiple in the bonus card, and send your ID quickly if Vave asks for it before a big withdrawal.

A great pick if you:

  • want thousands of slots and around 1,100 live tables in one lobby
  • bet on football, tennis, basketball or esports alongside casino play
  • like reloads, cashback and VIP levels that keep paying after the welcome offer
  • play mainly in crypto and are happy to buy it by card when you need to

If you live in one of the 16 countries listed in the sign-up section, Vave isn't open to you.

Overall score: 7.8/10. Vave pairs one of the biggest slot and live casino lobbies we've reviewed with a wide sportsbook and a busy promotions calendar. The welcome wagering multiple isn't published up front, payouts can slow down when an account goes to review, and the licence details are thin on the site, which keeps it in the middle of our scale.

Common questions

Vave FAQ

Is Vave legit and safe?

Vave has run since 2022 and has a loyal base of players who praise its payouts and VIP managers. Its help centre says it holds a Curaçao licence, though the site doesn't show a licence number, and the operator is Chestoption Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada in Costa Rica. The site uses SSL encryption and says player crypto is kept in cold wallets.

What is the Vave welcome bonus?

You choose with your first deposit of 20 USDT or more. The casino package is 150% up to 1.5 BTC + 100 free spins, then 100% up to 1 BTC, 50% up to 1 BTC and 25% up to 0.5 BTC on your next three deposits. The sports bonus is 100% up to 1 BTC.

What is the True Value of the Vave casino welcome bonus?

$0 on a $100 deposit in our model. Vave doesn't publish the wagering multiple before you claim, so we modelled 40x the bonus, and at that level the cost of clearing it on slots is higher than the bonus. Check the multiple in the bonus card and treat the bonus as extra playing time.

How does the Vave bonus pay out?

In instalments. As you wager, parts of the bonus are released, and you move each part to your real balance with the Credit To Balance button. You have 30 days to wager each welcome bonus, and only slots count toward it.

Is there a maximum bet with a Vave bonus?

Not on the welcome deposit bonuses, whose terms say there's no maximum bet. Most other casino bonuses have a 5 USDT maximum bet, and winnings from any deposit bonus are capped at 10,000 USDT.

Do I need to verify my identity on Vave?

Not to sign up, deposit or play. Vave can ask for ID before a payout, which can mean a photo of your ID, a selfie with it, a phone call or a video call. You have 14 days to finish a check, so answer quickly if you get a request.

Which cryptocurrencies does Vave accept?

14 coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin, BNB, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, Toncoin, Cardano, Tron, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. You can show your balance in euros or dollars while you play.

Can I deposit on Vave with a card?

Yes, through the Buy Crypto option. Third-party services such as Changelly and Onramper sell you crypto with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer, and it lands in your Vave balance. You'll need your own crypto wallet to withdraw.

How long do Vave withdrawals take?

Vave says withdrawals are processed as soon as possible, with some options taking up to 3 days, and most are approved automatically. Players report crypto payouts arriving within minutes to several hours, and longer when a big win goes to review.

What do I need to do before I can withdraw from Vave?

Wager each deposit 3 times on casino games or once on sports, and make sure your bets add up to your deposits at odds of at least 1.1. Winnings are withdrawn in the coin you played with, and very large wins can be paid in parts over up to 30 days.

Does Vave have a sportsbook?

Yes. It covers 45 sports and virtual leagues, close to 2,000 upcoming football events, esports such as Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2 and League of Legends, and horse racing. Features include odds boosts, cash-out and Copy Bets.

Does Vave have a VIP programme?

Two. The Casino VIP has 18 levels with rewards from 5 USDT + 10 free spins up to 100,000 USDT, earned by playing slots. The Sports VIP has 7 levels that reset each month, with points turned into free bets.

Does Vave have an app?

There's an Android app on Vave's Mobile app page, and the iPhone app is listed as coming soon. The site also works in any mobile browser and can be added to your home screen.

Which countries can't use Vave?

Belarus, Belgium, Curaçao, Cyprus, Estonia, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Russia, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. In Sweden only the sportsbook is open.

What responsible gambling tools does Vave offer?

Deposit, loss and wager limits, cooling-off from 1 week to 6 months, and self-exclusion for 6 months to a year. They're set through live chat or support@vave.com rather than in your account settings.
