Review (part 1/3)
I'm part of Group A, which includes testing the 100% welcome offer with a $30 deposit.
Because
I prefer to use Tor, I was given more freedom to test other things, like the Live Casino section.
Tor and account creationNot many sites are Tor friendly, and I'm used to sites that don't work well on Tor.
I was given this
Registration link, which lead to a black page on
coinslotty.com/exclusive-offer/crypto-casino-welcome-offer. I'm using the Standard (=least secure) Tor settings, which means scripts aren't blocked.
When I tried again, the page loaded. I needed to get a new Tor circuit a few times because they were from restricted countries. Eventually, it worked:

I registered with a long password. The website called it
GREAT, without complaining about the weird characters in it.
When registering, there was a Currency field. I chose BTC, but also noticed "DOG" as an option. I think that needs an "E". Under it, there's an empty field:

Since I have to accept the Privacy Policy and Term, I scrolled through them and listed the things I noticed.
Privacy Policyby accepting any contest prize or winnings from us, you consent to the use of your name and/or nickname for advertising and promotional purposes
If I'd use my real name on an online casino, I wouldn't want to see my real name in any advertising from that casino! Using a nickname I get, but a real name should always remain private.
Terms and Conditions1.5 The main language of the Casino website is English, and any translation errors are interpreted in favor of the Casino.
Shouldn't this say that the English text is leading? Now it sounds like the English may contain translation errors.
online gambling. 2.3 The Casino
Add an Enter.
2.8 Age Verification Procedure for cryptocurrencies. In order to be able to play in cryptocurrencies, Player must provide the Casino with the proof that they are at least 18 years old or above (valid ID, Passport or Driving License or any other valid document).
I'm confused:
CoinSlotty.com's thread on Bitcointalk has "KYC from 2 BTC" in the title, but the Terms say all players must provide proof of age.
3.2 Using VPN to bypass provider’s block is strictly prohibited and may lead to confiscation of winnings.
What if I use Tor for privacy instead of for bypassing a provider's block?
There is no

uninterrupted play.8.3 The Company
Add an Enter.
8.8 You acknowledge that the Casino shall be the final decision-maker of whether you have violated the Casino’s Terms and Conditions in a manner that results in your suspension or permanent barring from participation in the Website.
If this happens, what happens to the player's balance? I'm asking this because I've seen many topics in the past where casino Terms were very user-unfriendly.
10. If the Player is suspected of ~ the Company reserves the right to terminate such a Player Account and suspend and/or cancel all payouts to the player. ~ the Player will not be notified or informed about the reasons for such actions.
This seems like one of those rules that will destroy your reputation when applied. When someone is found guilty, sure. But it doesn't seem right to cancel payouts based on a suspicion without even telling the player why.
10.5 To prevent any fraudulent activities concerning cryptocurrency transactions, we lay down the following rule: in case the transaction is marked as replaceable - Opt-in Replace-by-Fee (RBF), the Casino reserves the right to close such accounts immediately and withhold any wins.
WHY?! RBF is a normal part of a Bitcoin transaction, and the default behaviour of many wallets. It's much, much better if you don't accept unconfirmed transactions, so the user can bump the fee when his deposit takes too long to confirm.
Ultimately, all Bitcoin transactions are replaceable as long as they're unconfirmed.
11.1 The Website offers Coinspaid as payment method only.
~
11.4 Kindly note that due to the nature of cryptocurrencies, deposit limits cannot be applied to the deposits made through CoinsPaid payment system. If you want to limit your gambling in the casino, please, use any other available option.
In 11.4 you're referring to other options that, according to 11.1, don't exist.
12.9.1 is the same as
12.1, and
12.9.2 is almost the same as
14.4.
After reading all this, I clicked SIGN UP, and got
IS INVALID. I tried again, with the same result.
After switching to VPN instead of Tor, a popup told me to check my email. I could verify my email through Tor, but ended up with a black screen again. For now, I'll give up on Tor.
DepositTo my surprise, my deposit showed up before it had any confirmations. Even after reading the Terms, I still didn't expect that:

However, my Bonuses history shows nothing, even though "Use bonuses" was enabled while making the deposit.
I made a bet with Dice, to see if the bonus would show up after a bet:

The first thing I noticed is how slow the game is, while Firefox consumes an entire CPU core (my old PC isn't quite old). But the bonus didn't show up.
This offers me a chance to talk to Support. The Support chat asked me to enter my name and email address, even though the site knows that already since I'm logged in.
Renata kindly told me it's because bonuses are not available for users from Sweden, and indeed, I read that in the Terms but didn't think about it because I used Tor. When I switched to VPN, it used Mullvad's default, which is, indeed, Sweden.
After switching to Denmark, Support told me this:
First of all, please, add your personal details (name, address etc.) to your account
The reason I joined this Review was because of the "KYC from 2 BTC", so I assumed I didn't have to share my personal address.
I'm not asking you to upload any documents, just to fill in your profile details 🙂
And this brings me back to this topic: I'm stuck here. I don't really want to make up an address in Denmark, but I definitely don't want to fill in my real data. I like my privacy (hence Tor)

@Trofo: now what?

I'd like to continue my review, but I can't test the 100% deposit bonus if I didn't get it.
