Planet 7 vs Cafe Casino

Planet 7 vs Cafe: the short answer

If you value terms you can read before you deposit, Cafe Casino is the more transparent of the two. Its welcome page spells out the match, the wagering, the seven-day window and the caps on spin winnings. If you want a large RealTime Gaming slot library and are comfortable relying on reported terms, Planet 7 Casino is the brand we list, and its offer via our link is the larger headline.

Both are offshore casinos. Cafe Casino cites licenses from Curaçao and Anjouan; Planet 7 cites none on its own site, and reviewers report Costa Rica or no license at all. No US state licenses either one, which means no state regulator to complain to if a payout stalls. Our comparison hub has more head-to-heads like this one.

We earn a commission from Planet 7 through our link, and we list partners in a commercial order. Cafe Casino isn't a partner, so we show no offer for it and don't link its site.

Side-by-side table: Planet 7 vs Cafe Casino

The table sets the published and reported facts next to each other. Where a row says "third-party", the figure comes from review sites rather than the casino, so it may be out of date.

Who runs Planet 7 and Cafe Casino?

Cafe Casino's welcome-bonus page names Arbol Media B.V., a Curaçao company (No. 145739), and Arachis Media (No. 11547) in Mutsamudu, Anjouan. It cites Curaçao Gaming Authority license OGL/2024/670/0711 and an Anjouan Gaming Board license without a number. You can read what those licenses mean on our Curaçao license guide and Anjouan license guide.

Planet 7 publishes neither. AskGamblers (opens in a new tab) lists BTK Ltd Casinos and a Costa Rica license with no number. LCB names Ace Revenue Group and says there's no license, while Casino Guru's review (opens in a new tab) also says it "does not have a gambling license". That spread is why our Costa Rica license explainer matters here: a Costa Rica registration isn't a gambling license in the usual sense.

Welcome bonus terms at Planet 7 and Cafe

Planet 7's headline via our link is $2,750 Welcome Bonus + 45 Free Spins. The public terms reviewers describe are different. LCB lists the WELCOME200 code at 200% with 30x wagering on deposit plus bonus, slots only, and a $1,000 max cashout. It adds that Banana Jones and Fish Catch can't be played with coupon funds. Blockonomi gives the same code with a $30 minimum deposit but calls the wagering "one time", which is unclear. Because the sources don't match our link's headline, the terms shown at sign-up are what count. See the Planet 7 welcome bonus page for the full picture.

Cafe Casino's own page, running since December 8, 2025, offers two routes. A crypto first deposit gets 300% up to $2,000 plus 150 spins in three batches of 50. A card deposit gets 200% up to $1,500 plus 75 spins. Both need $20, carry 40x on the bonus and spin winnings, and must be cleared within seven days. Our Cafe Casino bonus breakdown covers the details.

Bonus math in dollars for both casinos

Wagering turns a bonus into a cost. Expected loss is total stake times house edge, so a slot with a 96.25% RTP (third-party figure for RTG's Sweet 16) has a 3.75% edge. The figures below are averages, not predictions, and real sessions swing widely.

1. Planet 7, reported WELCOME200 on a $100 deposit: $200 bonus, so $300 in play. 30x of $300 is $9,000 in wagers.
2. At a 3.75% edge, $9,000 of wagers costs about $337.50 on average, more than the $200 bonus. Any win is also capped at $1,000 cashout.
3. Cafe Casino crypto on a $100 deposit: $300 bonus. 40x of the bonus is $12,000 in wagers, about $450 in expected loss at the same edge, all inside seven days.
4. Cafe Casino card on a $100 deposit: $200 bonus, 40x is $8,000 in wagers, about $300 in expected loss.
5. Compare the expected loss with the bonus size. When it's higher, the bonus is mainly extra playing time, not extra value.

Cafe's seven-day window adds pressure: $12,000 of wagers in a week is about $1,700 a day. That's a reason to pick the smaller card bonus or skip a bonus entirely. Our wagering requirements guide and max cashout explainer show how to run these numbers yourself.

Free spins at Planet 7 and Cafe Casino

Free spins are never free of conditions. Cafe Casino caps spin winnings at $100 a day and $300 in total, then applies 40x to those winnings. So 150 spins can't produce more than $300 of bonus money, which then needs $12,000 of play to release.

Planet 7's 45 spins via our link don't come with published game or expiry details in our record. Reviewers also report a $25 free chip (code 25FREECHIP; Blockonomi's table says MY25FREE) with a $100 max withdrawal and 30x on slots. Codes change often, so check the Planet 7 bonus codes page and the cashier before relying on one. The free spins winnings guide explains how spin caps work.

Withdrawals and banking: Planet 7 vs Cafe

Cafe Casino's blog says crypto withdrawals arrive within 15 minutes of approval, checks in 4 to 7 business days and bank wires in 5 to 10 business days. It accepts BTC, BSV, BCH, ETH, USDT, LTC and Bitcoin Lightning. Its minimum withdrawal isn't published in our record.

Planet 7's picture is slower and less certain. AskGamblers reports a 5 to 7 day pending period, 7 to 9 days for bank transfers and no weekend cashouts. LCB flags "delayed payments" and says payouts usually take more than a month. The weekly cap is $2,500 according to LCB and Casino Guru, but AskGamblers shows EUR 2,500 per day, and Casino Guru separately says the daily limit is below $500. Minimum withdrawal is $50 per LCB or $100 per Blockonomi. Read our Planet 7 withdrawals page and the Cafe Casino withdrawals page for more.

Card deposits at offshore casinos are often declined because issuers block gambling code MCC 7995; our card declines page explains why. With a $2,500 weekly cap, a $10,000 win would take at least four weeks to collect, which our weekly withdrawal limits guide covers.

Games: Planet 7's RTG lobby vs Cafe Casino

Planet 7 is an RTG casino. Casino Guru lists RealTime Gaming and SpinLogic Gaming, LCB counts 347 RTG slots and Blockonomi reports 195+ slots and 14 video poker variants. Titles reported in its lobby include Cash Bandits 2, Cash Bandits 3, Paydirt!, Sweet 16, Pirate Isle 3D, Suit 'Em Up Blackjack, Deuces Wild and Jacks or Better. There's no live dealer, according to LCB. Our Planet 7 slots page goes deeper.

Cafe Casino's software providers aren't published in our record, so we can't list its studios or titles. Check the casino's lobby, and treat any game list you see elsewhere as unverified.

Which states do Planet 7 and Cafe exclude?

Cafe Casino's FAQ lists five excluded states: Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey and New York. Planet 7 publishes no restricted-state list, so we can't say which states it accepts. An excluded list is not a statement that playing is lawful anywhere else. Your own state's law decides that, and our state-by-state guide is the place to check.

In Michigan, the Gaming Control Board's April 9, 2025 letters named Planet 7 among 13 unlicensed operators and told them to stop serving the state. We don't show offers on Michigan pages for that reason.

Is Planet 7 or Cafe Casino legit? Complaints and regulators

The Michigan Gaming Control Board's April 9, 2025 release (opens in a new tab) names Planet 7 Casino among 13 unlicensed offshore operators. Review sites add more: LCB gives it a "Warning" status citing slow payments and poor support; AskGamblers lists its status as terminated, with 1,598 complaints of which 1,468 were resolved; Casino Guru counts 64 direct complaints and flags four unfair clauses and a low withdrawal limit. Our Is Planet 7 legit page sets these out.

No regulator action naming Cafe Casino is on our record, and its complaint history isn't in our facts. That's an absence of data, not a clean bill of health. Our Is Cafe Casino legit page and cease-and-desist letters guide explain what to look for.

Planet 7, Cafe Casino and US law

Only seven states license real-money online casinos: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Neither of these brands holds any of those licenses. Federal law, through UIGEA's payment ban (opens in a new tab), targets businesses that accept payments for unlawful internet gambling; it doesn't make placing a bet a federal crime for the player. State law decides the player's position, and it varies, so read our offshore casino legality guide.

Winnings are taxable federal income wherever you play, and the 2026 W-2G threshold for slot wins is $2,000. Offshore casinos may not send you a form, but the income is still reportable; see do I pay tax on casino winnings.

Planet 7 or Cafe: verdict by player type

• You want published terms: Cafe Casino's own pages list its license, bonus rules and payout times; Planet 7 relies on third-party reports.
• You play RTG slots: Planet 7 is reported to carry a large RTG library; Cafe's providers aren't published.
• You want low wagering pressure: neither is light. Planet 7's reported 30x has no stated deadline; Cafe's 40x must clear in seven days.
• You cash out often in crypto: Cafe publishes fast crypto payouts; reviewers report slow processing and a weekly cap at Planet 7.
• You live in Michigan, Maryland or New Jersey: check the law first; Michigan's regulator has named Planet 7, and Cafe excludes Maryland and New Jersey.
