Our verdict
7melons is the online arm of Grand Casino Kursaal Bern AG, running since September 2020 under a Swiss ESBK concession extension. That structure is the strongest thing about it: Switzerland only allows an online casino to exist as an extension of a land-based concession, so there is a named cantonal casino company answerable for the site rather than an offshore licensee. Sources cite the authorisation two different ways - extension 2023-A-04-E and concession 516-005/03-01 - and we publish both rather than guess. The offer has two terms that are genuinely better than most, and we want to say so plainly because we spent this morning finding the opposite elsewhere: there is NO cap on what bonus winnings can become real money, and no deadline for clearing the deposit bonus. The restrictions are where it bites, and our earlier version had them wrong in the reader's disfavour. We published '30x slots / 90x table games'. Blackjack is 300x. Roulette, baccarat and jackpot games contribute nothing whatsoever toward clearing a bonus, and live and table games contribute 10%. In practice, slots at 30x are the only realistic route through, and if you intended to play tables with this bonus, you effectively cannot. We could not read the operator's own conditions page - it returns 403 to us - so those figures are corroborated between two independent Swiss sources rather than verified at source.
How we rated it
Trust & licensing (27%)8.5
Operated by Grand Casino Kursaal Bern AG under a Swiss ESBK concession extension. Switzerland permits online play only alongside a licensed land-based casino and caps the market, so a named cantonal operator with a physical venue stands behind this site - among the strongest licensing positions we publish.
Casino (36%)7.8
Around 2,800 slots plus live and table games, online since September 2020 - a substantial library for a single-market Swiss site.
Bonuses & value (18%)7.5
Two unusually good terms: no win limit on bonus winnings, and no deadline on clearing the deposit bonus - both rare, and the opposite of what we found at Princess Casino. Marked down from 8.0 anyway because the game restrictions are severe and we had them wrong: blackjack carries 300x, not the 90x we published, while roulette, baccarat and jackpot games contribute nothing at all toward clearing it. Slots at 30x are the only sensible route.
Customer support (18%)6.8
The previous 7.0 rested on no search. We found no complaint dossier and no substantial independent evidence on payouts either way; this reflects thin evidence rather than a demonstrated record.
