Bit Coin Casinos Review

[cheetahwind]

Sounds like an awful amount of work just to use Bit Coins by the way there suggesting. I'm only guessing they just don't like cloud based wallets is all?

I mean you buy the bit coin, then wait 1 to 4 hours to transfer your coins to another wallet. Then transfers those coins to the casino? Seems like an awful alot of waiting and transferring for something that that extra step shouldn't be needed.

Honestly I'm not sure what there beef is with places like Coinbase are, but unless if they really feel that your coin is going to be hacked. I really think the extra step isn't necessary at all.

I haven't used Bit Coin much at all honestly, up until the last 2 months. Experimenting with online casinos, because the only other time I dabbled in Bit Coin was to buy some really, really, really good Anti-Virus software that only took Bit Coin as payment. So far really honestly in the 3 casinos I have played at, they've all taken a direct transfer from Coinbase with asking that I jump thru the extra hoops.

I get as stated in a previous post a major cloud based wallet called Mt Gox was hacked and drained. Mainly because the guy was careless and also didn't have the funds in his bank accounts to back up the coins. Yet places like Coinbase really got on the ball, and hired outsides auditors and security consultants to make sure your coin is safe.

Oh well, just sounds like someone at the casino just doesn't trust cloud wallets is all.

That's exactly why I like Circle is the instant funding concept.

So BitCasino.io gave me a nice present this afternoon. I got a free entry into there poker tournament. I'll report back here later on tonight on how well the software functioned and all.

Anyone have any luck with Bit Coin ATMs?

 

[cheetahwind]

So I had a rather nice weekend with BitCasino.io.

I first ended up winning of a free tournament entry that I had gotten. Which was worth 0.6 BTC. I ended up playing with that for a bit, and played it down to 0.5 BTC. Then decided to cash out.

That withdrawal was processed into my account within 5 minutes.

Then I played at few other casinos this weekend.

I tried out Sticky Bet, which I didn't end up liking too well. Honestly I sort of thought the casinos selection of games was lacking, plus with no live support it wasn't on the top of my list. Considering I hate waiting on e-mail responses. None the less I did end up making a small deposit. They had a nice wagering requirement monitor. I really ended up liking called Book of Pyramids. Then again it was about the only slot that paid out during this session.

I also tried out Evolution Casino. This casino I couldn't wrap my head around at all. They offered a first deposit match bonus. Which I thought I would have qualified for yet after I made the deposit. My bonus didn't show up? I would have e-mailed, but once again I don't care for e-mail only support. They also have a limited selection of games, so probably another Bit Coin casino I think the long run I'll pass on.

Bit Stars was the only other Bit Coin casino so far I could find that was comparable to BitCasinio.io. They had a nice selection of games, including some titles I had never heard of before. They advertised Microgaming games on the front page on top of the unfamiliar, but imagine that. Once I got logged in and the software figured I was from the US. Microgaming was instantly blocked from me being able to play them.

Yet I did end up playing a fireworks type of slot, that I found rather entertaining and allowed quite a nice bit of play time. I also ended up playing a Sushi Bar game that also had some nice play time. No big wins, but both slots were rather entertaining.

So then I redeposited some money into BitCasino.io. Which then I played Pearls of India game, which has a tumbling reels like feature, with a multiplier that gets higher for each tumble that happens in a spin. At one point I ended up netting a nice 600 mBTC pay day off of that. Then I tried my luck at Enchanted Crystals which was also ready to pay out. I ended up cashing out of here with 1 full bit coin.

Now am just waiting on the required confirmations then I'll try a cash out from Circle to see if there any faster than Coinbase. So I had a rather good weekend experimenting and seeing how some of these Bit Casinos work. I for sure will probably be trying Bit Stars again soon, just to see if I could get that fireworks slot to give me something nice.

While I've been on this roll over the last 24 hours, I have 1 more review to add.

So I tried mBit casino out since I'm way ahead now on the whole Bit Coin aspect. I've cashed out so far 3 whole Bit Coins this weekend. So I had some ummm reckless money I wanted to toy with.

So I deposited 50 mBTC into mBit casino. I ended up playing Live Dealer blackjack for a bit. I started out playing 10 mBTC a hand. Then ended up progressing up and down. I ended up leaving out of the Live Dealer blackjack pit with 400 mBTC. Then I decided to head over to try Aztec Treasures a Bet Soft type slot. I played 1.5 mBTC a spin. Which netted me a nice 600 mBTC pay day on spin. Then netted me another 200 mBTC pay day on another spin. Which amounts to amount $275 in cash, off of a $.50 bet.

So after playing a while longer, trying to get up to a full bit coin. I decided to cash out 0.60 mBTC, which was valued at $270.00 at the time.

So like I stated in another post, I am literally on fire today.

Now to be honest mBit casino, pretty much seemed like a complete duplicate of BitCasino.io. Except for the live chat doesn't seem online very often. They pretty much rely on e-mail support. Which they supposedly strive to answer all e-mails in 2 hours or less.

Which I have had one good experience so far with e-mail support, claiming a free chip from them. Then another experience that left a slightly sour taste in my mouth over some confusion over a match bonus. So my honestly feeling about this casino is sort of luke warm. If there live chat was online more often they could rank up there with my loved BitCasino.io.

So I can now confirm that I believe I'll be using Circle way more often than Coinbase for my Bit Coin transactions. Mainly because I can instantly purchase a bit coin with my debit card. Then I can withdraw to my bank account, which I did, and to my surprise the money is my account this morning.

I did however try a small amount to my debit card, to which my surprise hasn't come thru yet. I did call my bank and ask on why it's taken a debit card refund longer to process than an ACH. She couldn't tell me why, other than I could file a claim if the refund didn't process to my card by end of day today.

Which surprises me because Circle advertised a 1 to 2 business day turn around. So I figured surely by this morning I would have seen something. On either note, I've already e-mailed Circle looking for advice. I'll advise folks once I get more information on the debit card refund option. Which trust me the amount of the refund is no where near what I have put into Bit Coin so far. It's probably only about a 1/3 of the money I've put into it. So the bank can't pull the you haven't made that much in purchases bit.

I made my first bitcoin purchase last night with coinbase for $100. It will not hit my account until Monday. Seems like a long time to me. Especially since the funds cleared my bank today.

I'll let you all know how the play and hopeful cash out goes

wow that is a long time considering circle is instant

 

[Googobucs]

I think it's because it's my first transaction. It looks like 30 days after your first transaction that you get some instant transactions.
You can add a credit card to your account and increase you instant availability as well, but I'm not sure that I will do that. I prefer to wade slowly into the unknown waters

 

[cheetahwind]

Well were now going on the 3rd business day from when my withdrawal was requested via my bank card. Still no credit to be seen.

So I think for future reference I'll be just doing the free bank to bank transfers. Mainly because paying $1.66 and having it take so far 2 days longer than a bank to bank transfer. Is sort of a turn off for me. So just a word of advise, unless if the only option you have because you deposit with prepaids only. I would avoid the credit/debit card refund option.

Otherwise I'm still happy with Circle. It's not like they've ignored my impatient e-mails about my money. Just a bit upsetting is all.

Interesting news article today. Madeira Beach wants to become the worlds first official Bitcoin city. I don't imagine they will have casino's any time soon but you can buy a lotto ticket

Interesting thought to ponder:

Several of the Bitcoin casinos mentioned in this thread and a few that weren't offer anyone in the world anonymous access to play NetEnt games for Bitcoin. We should be suggesting to every one of these sites that they offer Dead Or Alive if they want to instantly become the #1 Bitcoin casino overnight.

Hear that? That's the sound of thousands of US online slot players' heads exploding at the thought.

It's also the sound of all of the RTG slot players closing their casino app to go try this game everyone else in the world is constantly talking about.

Lol maybe Treasure Island will follow

 

[cheetahwind]

I really could see Bit Coin exploding into a real life marketplace, like being suggested.

Yet on another more embarrassing topic. I finally got word from my bank that I overlooked the debit card refund on my statement. Apparently it did post within the 2 business days advertised. It just got mixed up with the other Circle bank to bank withdrawals.

So I am happy to report all is well, and everything with Circle is on the up and up.

Yet going back to the other topic. I really could Bit Coin really being accepted wide spread mainly because it's cheaper to accept and has way less headaches really.

 

[spoton]

I just checked some of the games on BitCasino.io yesterday, and found some weird typos in the paytables of some of the novomatic games + Gonzos Quest. They have also removed copyright notices from atleast Gonzos, and the same with the traditional Netent loading screen. Something smells a bit fishy to me. Pirated games maybey?

 

[cheetahwind]

Well the odd thing is everything I've researched leads to alot of the same back end systems the main software providers use.

So I'm not sure why for a Bit Coin casino, they've stripped some of the Aristrocat stuff away. Along with the NetEnt.

Like I went and looked at the source code, found the site that hosted it. Which lead me to another site that had everything Net Ent in tact. Along with the Aristocrat games.

So I'm not sure why these gaming providers are providing stripped versions of the original. They seem to play the same, just not sure why they've decided to strip certain things.

Maybe in the case the US or any other gaming restrictive country steps in and announces a shut down. The original game manufacturer can claim no ties to the actual site?

On either note, if your wondering about Fairness. So far the games seem random and not like set to take my money in the long run.

I guess some form of certification in the future would be nice, if not even right now, but on either note so far the outcomes of everything I've tried has been rather positive.

 

[spoton]

Well if you could confirm what you're saying with some proof that would be nice for all of us I guess. Sorry for being the skeptic here, but I find it hard to believe that NetEnt and Novomatic would provide special versions of their game to a few sites, especially with hard coded errors.

That being said, I might be wrong ofcourse..

 

[homerbert]

games at bitcasino.io not official, i.e. stolen, like i said in begin of this thread. We have dozens of novomatic slots copies in russian online casinos , all sh*t since they can do any RTP they want.
Netent did not intergrated with bitcoins. Novomatic same. So?

 

[john39]

There's a company called xapo That seems to offer a debit card to access bit coin in us funds however to just get the card is $15

[Casinomeister]

I've checked these games and they seem very suspect. Plus there are no software provider logos on the main index page. Red flags IMO. I'll give a heads up to Netent and any other gaming providers to see if they can verify the validity of these games.

In the meantime, I would hold off playing at any of these casinos. When it seems to good to be true - it usually is.

 

[SlotMonster]

The only one bitcoin casino I would suggest is bitstars net, as they are doing all the right things to become one of the best: great support, many games (including quickfire and betsoft and even more providers to come) and fast payouts. I know the owner of the casino (and they are our clients, but that's NOT the reason why I'm suggesting them) and can stand up for my words.

 

[Casinomeister]

Netent have already come back to me - it's not their software. They are investigating this at the moment.

does doing all the right things include coming up with an original design for the casino?, because my first impression when i stumbled upon it was that it looked uncannily like guts casino,

 

[bigjohn]

So far, from what I've read, this whole bit-coin business stinks of opportunistic scam.

I understand new ideas take a while to become accepted but this just looks like a way to by-pass every possible regulation. Sure, the US laws regarding on-line gaming are archaic and hypocritical and head-in-the-sandish (head-in-the-sandish?) and you can't really blame people for trying to circumvent them but there doesn't seem to be any safety with this currency and the lack of respect concerning intellectual property rights shown by these casinos should raise red flags for everybody. I can easily picture one day, playing in one of these casinos, maybe with a nice balance and all of a sudden the plug being pulled.

When it got too difficult for me to play on-line I saved my money and went to the B&M casinos once a month or so.

I realize not everyone can do that but, to me, this does not seem like the way forward.

 

[homerbert]

I think bitcoins have same really great future tbh. Withdrawals to bitcoins are lightning fast, always, not depending of your location. It is anonymous - no headache with verification, etc.
But there is couple of problems already, including such donkeys like bitcasino who use stolen software and just ruin reputation of other honest bitcoin casinos who are quite good.
Still does not touch this bitcoins, but probably give it a go in near future, everything looks fine with it.
