Nordica Casino (was Two New Micros [Really])

[Pinababy69]

Promising news so far The only thing I hate about Nordica, and the only reason why I didn't sign up last weekend when I was looking to play, is that my favorite games are not available in flash mode! Does anyone know if they are always just going to be flash, or will they have a download version at some point?

Hey Jenn, I was told that they have no plans for the download version at this time, or in the near future.

I actually like the flash games, but then...90% of my play is done on Thor, SB and Kathmandu. If they'd add Kat to the flash, I'd be a happy camper.

 

[jenn1381]

If they added Kathmandu and Avalon and maybe hitmen or something like that I'd be happy with it. I think elementals is available in flash mode (?) and that's one that I do low-roll a lot. I don't know, I guess I just like to have choice. Most of the time I stick to my usual few, but the odd time I get a little "crazy" and play something completely new and different.. lol.

I have still not received my first withdrawal after 4 weeks from Casino Nordica.
I made a visa deposit and I was told recently that they can not make withdrawals back to visa card. Then they got my Neteller account and now I was told they can also not make withdrawals to Neteller!

Players should be aware of this BEFORE they decide to deposit and they should update their deposit page with this information.

I still trust in the casino, but they are obvious having serious problems.

Great experience with Casino Nordica.
I deposited twice and lost. They gave me twice a 5 dollar no deposit bonus, the second time I was able to win 180 out of 5$ thanks to the Japanese of What on Earth slot
I cashed out 140$ and, after the 24h reverse withdrawal, it was in my NETeller account in few hours . Quick and good customer service.
Thank you!

Well, it can't be both , is this casino lying to one of these? I doubt that Zoozie is lying about being told they could not credit to Neteller; is siilix lying, a shill perhaps? - I doubt it
Is this just a hopeless casino?

 

[happygobrokey]

also not paid

myself and another who has pm'ed me here, both are canadian and thus no neteller. we both won in the 1k range at nordica, he finished wr, i did not. we are both withdrawing to bank transfer since perhaps 2-3 weeks now. i have emails of confirmation of withdrawal amount etc but no real time frame for payment. as i understand, the other fellow has received no email responses from them. someone said they had to send in ID documents? i have not been asked for any that i recall. i hope this does not equate to another three weeks of stall time. indeed it might be that their customer base has ballooned and many bonus hunters are hitting it up for its clearplay structure and easy winnings if you bet big and get up quick. and if they had a large number of winners each cashing out more than 3x their deposit, they could very well be in the red right now since it seems to be a very small operation, this could be a case of hem-haw'ing and damage control...

incidentally, i never bet more than $25 at any one time (and then only near the end, began betting $5 and $10 at roulette and vp, moved on to $12.50 vp and $20/$25 bj) and worked up slowly, getting many favourable doubles, this feature is much more forigivng in mg flash than anywhere else i find, as in with the free spins promos as well i can often double up and get a max win on these freeplays. the thing i hate about the flash-only casinos is i forget to go to them! i have to navigate the web or open a bookmark in explorer just to get there and it never occurs to me. casinos cherry and euro bonus-banned me ages ago, and they were about the only instant-play staples i used. last month i lost a ridiculous amount chasing blue square's sign-up, and never even got there at the end of it. i should go recoup that 75 quid if it's still active. anyways, we shall see what develops...

Happy, to you and the other Canuck...have they not offered you Moneybookers as a withdrawal option? I asked about this a few weeks ago, and was told that it is an option for Canadians (for deposit and withdrawal). However, it has still not shown up in my banking interface. I queried them on this, and was told by support to uninstall the software?? Ummmm...it's a flash casino. What do I uninstall? I tried clearing cookies and temp internet files, and typed in the URL direct instead of clicking the icon, but it made no difference....there is no Moneybookers option. I haven't pursued it because I haven't deposited as yet.

I'm not liking the sounds of this though.

 

[happygobrokey]

i think the gears are in motion on both of our withdrawals, and as you say i too was unable to find moneybookers within the site as an option. they have been quick responding to me, and i've just wrote them asking for an update on the situation. hopefully it all should smooth out, i reckon they seriously could be facing a large influx of new winning players and managing the funds is delicate currently. in time it should balance out, or else they'll have to modify their bonus to be mandatory playthrough or something.

This was the approach taken at Casino Action when they went to EZBonus. It caused a bit of confusion for players who "knew" that the EZBonus model allows the cash to be withdrawn at any time.
Perhaps flash casinos really DO pay better than download, as has often been suggested before, and they have more winners than they had allowed for.
It is possible to create a desktop launch icon for MG Flash casinos, most now offer this as an option. This allows it to sit on the desktop along with al the other casino icons, making it harder to forget it. If you do this, it installs a shortcut to a program file folder which contains the actual URL launch link (quite unnecessary really). This would be the only thing to "uninstall", but it would have no bearing on the appearance, or not, of a withdrawal option.

Zoozie was told they can't pay to Neteller, and he is NOT Canadian - so what's up?

 

[happygobrokey]

can danes use neteller? the casino is danish and maybe this hampers them from using it to pay with?

nothing at this casino indicate playthrough is mandatory, and they said my withdrawal was cleared, so for certain casino nordica allows early cashout. hopefully they will get back to me sometime today (wednesday) about my withdrawal. and the casino confirmed to the other canadian player i mentioned that his cheque is in the mail as of today. so it's looking good so far... (knocks on table)

Welcome

Welcome aboard,

I suspect, however, that many of these posters have already contacted casino support, and have failed to make much progress.
There is certainly one clear issue, as I pointed out, how can one player be told that withdrawals cannot be made to Neteller, yet another poster gives you kudos for refunding to Neteller within hours!

New casinos are particularly vulnerable to having these types of problems ruin their business model for a long time. There are so many rogue operators who try to get on board that when problems start getting reported on the forums players assume the worst, which is often that the new operator is underfunded and cannot cope if not just a rogue in it for a quick profit.

As for Danes having a problem using Neteller, I have not heard this before, It has been Canadians and Turks that have lost the meaningful use of their Neteller accounts. Many players dislike cheques due to the long time it seems to take casinos to pay by this method, direct bank transfer might be a problem if players didn't want their banks to know they gambled online, but otherwise should be a good payment method.

If online gambling is illegal in Denmark, why is a Danish online casino allowed to operate? I am often puzzled by casinos that ban players only fromtheir own country, almost as if they don't want their own countrymen to suffer, but it's OK to take the money from the rest of the world.
Lasseters are in this odd position, whereby the Australian government in their territory seek to protect their own countrymen from the sin and suffering of online gambling, but tell the rest of the world they are the most tightly regulated and reputable online casino in the business and a great place to put our money.
It makes me worry that there is some unwritten rule that casinos cannot allow players from their own country, and that this might become an issue when some online casinos begin operating from the UK in September.

I can't agree to this, because i'd never won anything on a Flash Microgaming Casino.
No Bonus Round or something else, but certainly you can also call it pain

I am still waiting for my money (1 month now). However I do know the people behind the casino so I am not worried and CS is first class. But they can not treat customers like this for long, because then they will have no customers to treat...

[happygobrokey]

so their methods are slow! have they been stalling you? most americans are having to deal with cheque payouts and month-long waits regularly. not saying this should be the norm but given that i had a failed bank transfer and once we discussed doing it by cheque they got it done really quick, i thought. sorry it's dragging on for some. this thread kinda died so i wasn't sure what was up with anyone else who tried them. i hope it all works out for everyone.

OMG Zoozie!! You still don't have your money? What supposedly is the problem? I hope that they are at the very least keeping you in the loop?

I'm not too impressed with this, a month is just way too long.

I got my money today - snail mail with a check. I never really doubted they would pay up. But I am surprised they still claim you can not withdraw back to your Neteller. I will not deposit there again before withdrawal can be done
to neteller though. It is a shame since CS was fast, excellent and always very polite. Also I could play in Danish Kroner which means playing 9-lines in Thunderstruck lowest domination would cost 0.09 D.Kr which is 0.015$. Really a nice microlimit casino for me.

CasinoNordica announced today that they are closing 2nd July. That must be an MG record! The Poker room is staying open apparently.

Yes, it was a great surprise for me

Weird - was this an affiliate's notice, Simmo? There's nothing up on the site yet and as far as I know there have been no notifications from Microgaming?

Their Poker is on the Merge Poker network btw....and they have (had?) mobile from MGS, too.
