Does anyone still play at non-crypto casinos?

[spindoctor99]

Unfortunately being in Australia we don't have access to the old school casino's that I use to like and was curious as to whether people still play at non crypto casino's.

I was a big fan of casino's like Video Slots, Guts, Rizk and Thrills etc but it does seem that the crypto ones have completely taken over. I don't recall watching any streamer now use a non crypto casino... unless I watch Bandit video's from 10 years ago.

 

[dunover]

It's true that with international licensing tightening in many countries that old-school sites don't have the reach of old, have lost markets like Aus and soon-to-be NZ, Canada have tightened etc. and the UK is dead in the water to some extent.

So yes, many have gone over to unlicensed crypto which has benefits if it's a good 'un, dangers as they are seldom regulated by an overseer with teeth.

Personally I have still yet to experience crypto, when my last old school account goes I have to make a decision - quit altogether (I almost have now so most likely) or stay in the game (no pun) via crypto sites.

Is NZ getting rid of online casino's too?

No, but they are introducing licensing along UK lines so the free-for-all will end soon.

Canada is probably one of the most open countries still. Mainly just Ontario that lost alot of sites and appears on alot of blacklisted territory lists.

I was really nervous about the whole thing too before I took the plunge. But. Once I did I really see no benefit at all on the UK reg sites. Imagine all the games you want on the highest rtp with genuinly generous rewards. Rewards that are better than anything you will see on UK reg sites. Also imagine getting paid instantly large amounts with no checks or docs or SOW bs. Imagine all the games with full autospin functionality. Imagine being able to spend your winnings on a mainstream visa debit card within 30 seconds of a big win. Imagine 100s of cashouts, with no issues, ever.

I do feel sorry for the UK providers now, basically still trading through players fear or ignorance of the benefits of the Crypto casinos. That slim piece of pie is only going to get smaller and smaller. Ones without a highstreet presence I would give no more than five years tops.

In a hypothetical world, where would you recommend a UK residing individual to play at if they were looking for a safe, reputable crypto casino?

Hypothetically speaking, a UK 'enjoyer' could do worse than set his/her VPN to Macedonia and head over to Vave. Or Gamdom, Wolfbet, Metawin, BetPanda.

I take it the numbers and the letters places now KYC all new registrations?

Another hypothetical if you dont mind.
Hypothetically how would a complete novice crypto user get started on depositing to one of these sites if they hypothetically moved to Macedonia for an extended holiday?

 

[interlog]

Another hypothetical if you dont mind.
Hypothetically how would a complete novice crypto user get started on depositing to one of these sites if they hypothetically moved to Macedonia for an extended holiday?

Step 1: Get a VPN client and set to country you're on holiday in
Step 2: Set up an account with, for example, Kraken
Step 3: Set up a casino account and create a deposit address, for example in USDT
Step 4: Purchase USDT on Kraken and transfer to casino
Step 5: Start playing
Step 6: If in profit, withdraw money from casino to Kraken

on Crypto try Gamdom casino many games on 98% RTP and you can join with your google account no name need it , I play there for long time never had problem, I play on many Crypto casino Gamdom is 10/10 for now

I don't know about the letters but the numbers certainly want a full non-UK address on signup so I didn't go there.

 

[Molster18]

I’ve never used a crypto casino tbh I wouldn’t even know why I would?

 

[andysbetting1187]

I have never reall7 bothered with crypto casinos - they don't suit my style of gambling. I am prone to increase my stakes to which those outside of "fake streaming" would see as ridiculous and it would be very dangerous for me to be on any unregulated crypto site - plus I can't be arsed trying to figure out crypto transactions out (and don't really want to).

I am happy with ABC for my go to casino - currently on a timeout as travelling a lot with work and i like to secure my accounts when travelling (I also enjoyed playing at lottomart but had to part ways with them). For my bigger sessions, I have actually moved back to bricks and mortar casinos - its a bit of a pain travelling to them, but at least I know im getting instantly paid out in cash if I win etc.

 

[YouTubeSlots]

I'm a u.k player. And I love playing on the crypto sites. Just purely makes playing slots fun again. Brings back autoplay, turbo spins, slam stop spins etc.

Aswell as huge library's of games not always seen in the U.k market. Instant deposits most of the time and near enough instant withdrawals. Highly recommend to any U.K player

I didn't have a clue how bitcoin worked or what a crypto casino even looked like. Now there the main casinos I play at.

I would highly recommend Vave Casino, B.C Game, and Casino Punkz also
Metawin. All I have used deposited and withdrawn from, no kyc or any other bollox.

i will be trying gamdom next!

Metawin. I havent tried any others yet. I havent withdrawn any huge amounts just in the hundreds so i couldnt tell you about them denying any large withdrawals etc.

 

[SpinUk]

Metawin seems quite tight on bonuses “wager $500 get $10” etc. Put me off playing there.

 

[YouTubeSlots]

Some sites are better then others in terms of game selection and cashback etc i would say B.C Game and Vave are the best in those regards out of the sites i have tried so far.

BC is not bad but no cash back or level up reward, my last level up on Gamdom I got $120 free wager, plus u get free wager, daily weekly and monthly reward, and every friday I get free spins lucky deep from 20c to 60 cent per spin, BC bonus every $1000 wager you unclock $2

Casino Punkz looks great but has crap RTPs on many providers including Hacksaw and NLC.

In fact I've seen several different casinos and brands with the same (white label?) framework and they are always lowered RTP.

Unfortunately even on crypto casinos one still has to be alert to game nerfing...

I only just found casino punkz and wasnt aware they had lower rtps on some games. I appreciate the heads up though i will stick to vave and b.c game. Until i see what gamdom is all about!

no other Casino can match up with Gamdom RTP, they keep adding new slots even higher RTP

 

[satchnz]

I am quite a fan of Gamdom. It’s been my #1 go to for a while.

Here’s my record there. I joined there just over 2 years ago. This is on $50 deposits and $0.20 spins.

They are all mostly tight. Vave is the worst with a wheel you can spin and win up to 1 Bitcoin, that ALWAYS gives 25 x 20p FS on Bgaming slots. On the other hand they are mostly max RTP and have an amazing slot selection.

 

[Avernite]

No, but they are introducing licensing along UK lines so the free-for-all will end soon.

Doubt it. The minister in charge of gambling is a simp for businesses and deregulation with the added ability of being absolutely useless.

Two major landbased casinos here have MGA licensed sites with practically zero reaction from the government.

Most likely getting kickbacks that don't benefit public. The more silent a government is...

 

[BillyGoldblum]

I saw somewhere that the Australian government sent a letter to a well known casino warning them to stop letting Aussies play on them. I cant remember the casino group but its well known one anyways. Ridiculous.

I rarely play crypto. Too expensive and always have to play in another currency.

 

[slaman29]

These days if the crypto casino you're using is expensive for crypto, I would ditch them. Need to scout around or consider 'stablecoin' crypto like USDT or USDC. Crypto actually should be cheap to use, and usually cheaper fees and not volatile in value if that's what you looking for.

 

[slot_zombie]

It's like 1p to transact on USDT Solana network so cost isn't really a factor.

In Aus, the federal minister in charge of gambling got done for accepting politicial donations from bookmakers. The ban on online casino's is a dogs breakfast and by banning them all its done is enabled dodgy casino's to flourish. Its counter productive.

Part of the problem is that; pokies (slots) is big business here and the government makes big bucks from taxes on those. It was making no money from online casino's so I suspect it was all because of that.. rather than responsible gambling etc.

The Australian government can't do anything about casino's accepting customers. It could probably fine them but I doubt they could actually enforce it. The fine would be tiny in comparison to how much money they make from Australian customers anyway.

Its 4% to buy crypto. Then when you cashout another fee.

Ok the subject of Gamdom I've just had a notification in my account that they have moved their gaming licence from Curacao to Anjouan

As far as I know, crypto casinos are becoming a trend for a simple reason: the majority of them have no KYC requirements for withdrawals, which is a feature all players who prefer anonymity appreciate.

Well there are those of us who are quite happy to hand over their ID, but don’t want an online casino doing their budget planning for them. A group of us also enjoy more max RTP options. Others want their auto spins, quick spins, and bonus buys back (if from a jurisdiction that disallows these things).

So there are many reasons some of us choose crypto.

 

[CongoGB]

If UK gambling gets done for extra taxes in the November budget, then I can see UK facing casinos becoming even more ridiculous, and loads of people going over to Crypto.

 

[mulven]

I think Curacao licences come with KYC requirements nowadays so all the crypto sites that do No KYC had to jump ship.

Anjouan are a bad licence but there are still good sites use it, an example being Entertainment Software Group (roaring21, casino max etc).

[spindoctor99]

I went to make a withdrawal the other day from 500 casino. Was a small amount, $100 USD in BTC and they tried charging me $46 USD in withdrawal fees. I queried it and they claimed it was due it being in peak time (3am in the states so hardly peak time) and that they couldn't help it. If I transferred it from my wallet it would probably cost $0.50 so these fees are ridiculous. Needless to say I didn't withdraw it and waited.

 

[nisosbar]

Yes. That is the biggest reason why crypto casinos are flourishing.

Some players have been burned by past experiences with dishonest providers. So why continue exposing yourself to risk and vulnerability ... when you don't have to?

The better crypto casinos pay INSTANTLY, offer bonuses with ZERO TERMS (i.e., instantly withdrawable), do not KYC ... Not seeing a downside.

But of course, there will always be those who argue, "But wait! Stop! Don't you WANT an authority figure to impose taxes and regulations, limit games offered, slow down payments pending verification of alskjflsjfs status??? If not, you must have lost your mind!!!"

LOL - no offense to anyone here who is like that, but as far as I'm concerned, that type of gaming can KMA.

Late reply here, but the fees are dynamic so if they're too high, try waiting it out and retrying a few minutes later.

I withdrew BTC multiple times and their fees are a few bucks on average, but can dip below one if the time is right.

I too have yet to try out a crypto site. And tbh, I don't think I ever will.

If it ever gets to the stage where my online gambling choices were crypto or quitting gambling altogether, then the latter will prevail.

Thankfully, for the time being, I have plenty of non-crypto sites to play at.
