Drake Casino

Considering my options living in these United Sates. They have a decent game selection. I would like to see them add Quora like most similar platforms have. Other than that there are only 2 other providers I will even play at and they are both proprietary (3dice & Slotland) leaving them very limited in availability.

I really don't understand how these guys have such a high rating. Never cashed at any of the 3 sites (drake,gosip,vip). Some of the only rival/saucify sites I haven't cashed at. Most multiple times to a point I can't receive bonuses at 90% of them for cashouts overshadowing deposits. I've even had slotslv (when they were one) and ducky luck both put me on some list of global skilled players.

That's not even what I dislike the most. They're browser platform is annoying in how after leaving a slot. It always loads only 10-15 slots at a time. Continuously having to load & load again to get back to where you just were. Then the bonuses.

First off it is lame how you can't claim until after your deposit. I wouldn't care but several times I have seen a bonus under "available bonuses" in the cashier. Only to have them disappear after my deposit goes through. Probably better off considering they have 50-60x WR on all bonuses. However as I aforementioned I haven't experienced any form of luck here. Clean deposit or not.

On top of all that they have these new "free spins" which rub me the most. Probably why your reading this. They call them "play now pay later free spins". ROTFL...It's just a crumby spins deposit bonus. Sure you can spin but the winnings from said spins won't be attributed to your balance until you make a deposit.
Why call them free spins. We all know better. Not fooling anyone. Just makes me feel like you think I'm a mark. Which might have some validity. However not your average midway sucker. Although even they know the difference between free and deposit required.

It bothers me that when you look for a review of Drake, the first things you see are all negative. I just started playing online a few months ago, and I went on a saga of trying all reputable (and maybe some not) options for US players. And I gave them ALL a very fair shot, read all of their Ts & Cs, etc. I've found only a few that I think are good but I don't want to mention others here. Of those few, I've only cashed out with 2. Drake and Bovada. Bovada was when I first started and it was quick and super easy; but I think that's because casinos like new money. Drake was definitely more difficult and longer, but you're going to deal with red tape on all of them.
I like Drake because its one of very few that provides a safe and fair playing environment. For proof, check background things like cookies, etc when playing on Drake vs others. They don't have 15 bots monitoring your play to make adjustments and increase profits. I'm probably a small player to ppl here - I tend to deposit $50 or $100 USD and play $1/spin in the casino and I at least want to feel like I have a fair chance at winning. On most, I spin out in 10 minutes. On Drake you get some good, fun playtime in and you so seem to win more often. I just feel like they did it "right."
The $300 min cash out seems pretty reasonable to me. Why bother below that - especially when they're wiring money all over the world. My rule is $1K min to prompt a cash out and that's why I did at Drake.

Only had the 1 withdraw and that is the only reason I dropped the 1 star. It was a little more painful that it probably needed to be. The winnings were from a Bitcoin deposit but they treated it as a credit card transaction because my early deposits were CCs. So they did make me just through those hoops no matter how many times I told them I use BTC now. They pointed to some obscure rule in their Ts and Cs and it also took a week and a half, but in fairness it was my 1st. And all good - I eventually got it and of course they make it easy to redeposit some if you want to play in the meantime - people on the phone are nice.

Overall, service was good, pay out was fast, and there is a good variety of games. I'm writing this after the site was blacklisted. I got paid $500 as of today. 1/17/20. So I'm not sure what the certificate problem is but it didn't affect me.

At times the free bonus structure can be confusing. Free spins are awarded but require a deposit to claim the winnings and standard bonus rules apply. Play through is a little high but not insane.

The best I've played at since internet gaming started. Customer service is spectacular payouts are promptly handled. Lots of bonus offers. I've played at a ton of online sites, can't think of any better.

Sometimes it's hard to deposit.
Free spin bonus offers should tell you how much the wager is for spins prior to accepting them, if they're a low amount it's better to take your daily bonus instead.

- Payouts are done fairly fast within a week, after your account is verified.
- Very nice birthday gifts, very welcomed.
- Customer service is pretty solid.
- Fairly large selection of BetSoft games, however I would love for them to include more in the near future.
- Overall, I can recommend this Casino, they are trustworthy.

- The "Drake Club" is a little bit unfair, since after withdrawing your winnings, you are downgraded to a very low level, to a point that you are no longer even qualified for some promotions.
- A lot of the games are broken when tried to played "for fun". I have tried to explain it to CSR about it several times, but I was told it is something on my end, which after trying it on several devices and different networks, I can assure you it was not.
- Larger selection of Free Spin Games would be a huge plus, however I can see that they are starting to mix it up a little, so that is a plus.
- The Tournament games should open in the new, dedicated window. They have terrible scaling with your browser window, so if you are trying to say watch a video on one half of the monitor and play on the other you will have a terrible time doing so.

Hi SemiSerious,

Thank you for the review!

We welcome both positive and critical reviews as we believe that this is the best way to improve on issues that matter to the people that are most important to us...... Our customers :)

Regarding Drake Club, all new players start out at the Platinum level. At this point though, your game play largely determines what level you are set to next. We take into account the volume and real dollar amount of the bonuses you accept, deposits you make, withdrawals you take and wagers you submit and this determines your level until one of those things changes in some way. This can change over time and each player will experience this differently. Long term play is rewarded with up to 100% on every deposit and many more perks to go with that. The more you play the more goodies you qualify for.

We will look into changing up the games for free spins more frequently. We will also be releasing new games bi-monthly (approximately) that will be featured for upcoming free spin bonuses.

Our tech team is working on better scaling for the tourney window. I do not yet have a time frame for that but I assure you that this is on our radar.

Once again, your combination of critical and positive words is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Kyle

Nothing - please see negative comments based on my experience below. They are a siste site to drake casino which does not offer wagering to UK customers but still take your money.

Poor customer service
Rude customer service
Re-open you account and send you promotional material if you self exclude
Stay away and join a reputable casino!

After I made my first small bitcoin deposit I turned it into $300 rather quickly, I chose to withdraw via bitcoin also and they paid me within 2 days.

Impressive! Especially in comparison to many other casinos that take 72+ hours to process bitcoin payouts. I would highly recommend Drake Casino, they definitely made a loyal player out if me.

The withdraw minimum of $300 is a bit high for bitcoin, hopefully they consider lowering it in the future.

Thank you for the great feedback. Bitcoin has grown in popularity and is a great option for fast deposits and withdrawals. I will pass forward your comments about the minimum limit.
Best,

Great game selection and a site that has never crashed on me.

I've deposited 14k and played 23 different games all resulting with the most horrific returns imaginable. The same slots are consistently tighter here. I've never had a win streak and my rtp% remains at 86% for all games. After not playing there for a few months I tried yesterday and about $600 in deposits were met with a return of less than 50%. If I were you I would play elsewhere.

Payouts are fast and live chat is very responsive. Bonuses are commonly available.

Obvious something is not right with the casino as jackpots on games like Good Girl Bad Girl on the Good side have never hit in 6 months yet they hit EVERY day on the other sites.

The other platform they have I have played a ton and the payout is about 25% on those slots.

I think they may be possibly going under so I am not playing there anymore. Nothing worse than finally winning on a site and then they go under. This is exactly what I think will happen with this group given they have a horrible game selection compared to the other sites and one of worst payout percentages I have ever seen online as well.

When you type in Google Drake casino first, which will show you the "Play 3D Slots and Mobile Games ...", this is the biggest feature of this casino, which was established in 2012. The casino is licensed by the government of Curacao, and used a more present and one less represented the casino software. The less known is Arrow's edge, but that does not mean that the quality of its software at a much lower level of Betsoft, which is the other software that Drake Casino used. Guessed, Arrow's Edge has nothing to do with the mega popular series Arrow but equally inspiring in its field.

I would like to add that the above Arrow's Edge software is used more and Gossip Casino. The games at this casino I mostly played good old Betsoft, specifically Mamma Mia and Viking Age slot. I see that in a lot of forums Drake Casino got a slightly lower grade, probably due to a little "poorer" design slots from Arrow's Edge offers, but it all falls into oblivion when you me, from personal experience say that they have a very good bonus promotions that often like that processed loyal players, what i am. Drake Casino is not something beautiful at first glance, but once you enter deeper and see what the possibilities are, then you and the relatively low scores of self-appointed critics will not be worth anything.

Customer support is not bad, although it is a long waiting for a reply by mail, at least in my case. But their live chat works perfectly, and I want to say to people who work on this type of contact: Way to go, guys! Payment I committed only one in this casino, I received a welcome bonus but the money from the account is vaporized for barely an hour. So I did not get a chance to try out more games in addition to the above-mentioned. The impression is that Drake Casino is not the most beautiful on the Internet, but the graphics and all deficiencies shifted and focused solely on trust and fair play. In my view they are definitely succeeded in that, when I withdraw money then I write about it somewhat, then to play Drake Casino and be successful.
