Vave review: a crypto casino with a Costa Rica business licence
2017 Founding year · On our list since 30 Sep 2024 · Established casino
Vave states 2017 as its founding year and a Costa Rica licence. Costa Rica has no online gaming regulator, so there is no gaming authority behind the casino.
It is a crypto casino, with deposits through Binance in our data and a welcome offer quoted in Bitcoin. The site is in eighteen languages, and the lobby leans on Pragmatic Play, BGaming, Evoplay and many smaller slot studios.

Should you try Vave?

Licence on the regulator's register
A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.

Welcome offer
What 1 BTC is worth
At offers of this size the total is usually spread over several deposits. Set the bonus part you would actually receive, then the wagering from the casino's terms: wagering is not in our offer data for this casino yet.
The offer is stated in BTC. What that is worth in money moves with the coin's price, so the examples are worked in USD; the maths is the same in any currency.
Vave offer worksheet
WorksheetSet the bonus part you would claim. The default is a first-deposit example, not the casino's terms.
You must bet $8,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs $320 on average, so the bonus is worth about -$120.
