Thunderbolt Casino

Thunderbolt casino is one of the latest added casinos to askgamblers and when I saw it on New casino list, it was the first time I heard about them. First I have to say I think they have a great name and logo looks great too. They are powered by RTG software and nowadays RTG casinos often have very bad reputation, but I do like some of their games so I was interested in this particular casino.

When I tried to look for some information about this casino, I accidentally found a no deposit bonus code. I registered, verified my email and tried the code in the cashier and it worked, I was given 500ZAR and had to wager 6000ZAR. Since they are South African orientated casino, they have ZAR currency and 500 ZAR is about 33 euros. I played only Aladdin Wishes slot which in my opinion is one of the best games when fulfilling a wagering. I started with 2ZAR bets and soon increased them to 5ZAR per spin. I played for about two hours or so and at some point my balance even reached 2200ZAR amount. I played on instant play so it was good that nothing lagged.

Since I was playing on autoplay, at the end of wagering I noticed something strange, right when I had cleared wager, my balance dropped from 2000ZAR to 100ZAR which was the maximum cashout from this free bonus. I used turbo play option so when I stopped autoplay, my balance was already under 100 ZAR. I decreased bets and played for a few minutes, got bonus round and was back to 100ZAR balance. To successfully withdraw, I would need to verify my account by sending signed verification form, as well as ID copy and utility bill. Also I would need to make a deposit and minimum withdrawal to skrill was 300ZAR. After thinking about this a little I decided it was not worth it to do this all just for 6€ which are the value of 100ZAR.

Overall they seem like a decent Real Time Gaming casino and I would give them 6/10.

I know for sure I wouldn't deposit there, and the reasons for that are the fact they don't offer live chat and for me it is a very big minus, all great casinos invest in live chat services and they should do that too. Also, the currency confuses me, I am not familiar with it and it is not comfortable for me. And at last, such small amount for maximum cashout from a no deposit bonus seems like a waste of time, and I was very confused when my balance was deducted to maximum cashout, while I was playing autoplay, usually that happens when you request a withdrawal.

Thunderbolt Casino is one of the newest casinos with Real Time Gaming software which I came across this casino maybe several months ago. While I was browsing the net I saw this casino and thought they are really new, but seeing here on AskGamblers site that they are established in 2014 so 1 year on the online casino market. Well they have Curacao licence which I do not trust that much, but having on mind that mostly half or maybe more RTG casinos have same licence which some of them very reputable and trusted ones, so maybe this guys will be in that group of casinos.

Then when I saw it for the first time they didn't offer anything free, they were running only deposit offers, the average ones staring from 100% match and offered in ZAR money currency which I didn't understand, but using money converter I found out what and how much they offered.

After maybe 3 months ago I found the same casino offering about 25$ free chip for new players only, so me having few favorite games from this provider I decided to open my account and take advantage of their no deposit welcome offer. Opened my account, first download the casino, insert the code and was ready to start playing.

As always having few favorite games, first I started to play Count Spectacular, I find this game very interesting and thinking that the free spins feature is much more easy to trigger then other slots and if I am on the lucky streak the free spins can be re triggered very often. Well I played my free chip, but nothing happened, I played for a while had good time but didn't manage to do anything with that free chip. Since then I keep getting nice deposit offers, but must say for the time being not interested in them, so will wait to see what other players has to say and want to find out about their payout time frame. So far so good, they seem like decent casino, good luck!

Only RTG casino that I fully trust, great support and excellent player retention always have great promos, and often mail me no deposit vouchers and I'm not too active there.
