My summaryThank you for the opportunity MegaPari. I spent a lot of time browsing the website prior to registering, and then prior to writing the review, and I must say that a lot of time has gone into this casino. It is evident because of the load of content (not bad content, or irrelevant, just lots!) The best suggestion I can give is to improve the UI, make graphics from a lot of text, use more graphics for navigation and condense the amount of content to make it easier for the user to enjoy consuming. The only problem with megapari right now, is there is too much text to be able to go through everything with enjoyment. Otherwise, the platform is great. I had fun having a quick play after finally registering and trying it out for the review
Registration selected: E-mail. It's great that there are so many options (social media connection, phone number) but personally, I think that e-mail is the best for privacy.
Bonus option picked: Cancel to make your choice later. The reason why is explained in the review.
Deposit method used: Litecoin (LTC)
Deposit experience: Smooth. Address generated, deposit came in after a few confirmations. I browsed the website while I waited. After it came in, I got a message notifying my deposit was in. Hit refresh, there it was. Nice and easy
Your experience in the sportsbook section: It's hard to simplify a sportsbook, though it's straight-forward enough. I think one thing that could be worked on to improve the interface, as using icons rather than hyperlink text. At least on desktop, it makes things a bit more of an experimentation to navigate rather than knowing were to go. Overall though, it works as intended and it's fine. I navigated to the England v Australia game to take a look into how it works. It looks fine, but the amount of open markets are probably something that can be improved on. Same with the titles of markets. "1x2" and "double chance" mean nothing to someone who is just looking to bet.
It also says there are "8" of something under this menu, but there are only 3 markets. If it means there are 8 markets (but really 8 betting options) I think that this should be adjusted.
Opinion about the betslip: No suggestions of change here. Extra options where needed, clean summary otherwise. Not much to say about it! Good job here.
Experience in Casino + Games section: First suggestion, and it's a common suggestion across casinos I have reviewed. Don't mix slot games with other games. Make a separate menu and put them somewhere else. Why flood out all of the unique games of megapari with slots, when you could make them separate? Overall, it's a nice view..that's my only problem with it. The filtering works great, and might be the counter-argument to my problem, though I think it's just better to separate them (as mp has with live casion, poker, megagames etc).
I decided to pick the "megagames" area, where I picked plinko. The graphics and interface in this area are different. For some reason though when I went to pick a game, it took me back to the entrance area. It was the same for all selections. So I had to go back to the standard area...which was fine because it lead to Baccarat which was fun!
Other than this, the casino has an extensive amount of games from a number of providers, including megaparis own "megagames" section which seems like their point of difference. It was a shame that I couldn't try the games in the mega section (due to my browser maybe?) though it's good to see there is some unique element to it.
Withdrawal method used, and withdrawal experience:After winning (yay) I went to withdraw. I made the request via TRX, the process was just as easy as withdrawing. It took about 5 minutes to request, have withdrawal approved and receive it in the wallet.
Suggestion here: Add transaction hash for crypto transactions + exchange rates for transparency.
Opinion about existing promotions:I don't participate in promotions when I (rarely) use a casino. The reason why I don't is because of the extensive amount of terms and clauses that ultimately lead to the loss of balance in trying to reach the requirements. MegaPari unfortunately, is no except. I am all for promotions that give you a simple wager requirement to achieve a bonus, but all of these terms and conditions to read before getting to the action? I can't be bothered.
The promotions are fine and quite standard. If MegaPari want people to take advantage of them though, cut down the amount of clauses, terms and requirements to read. This deterred me from trying them aside from my habit not to anyway.
Overall experience with the platform: I think the main thing MegaPari have to improve on is their UI. It seems very basic and non-interactive in comparison to other platforms, and a revamp might be a good idea. This is at the exception of their casino section, which I think are fine as-is!
Overall summary of my experienceDeposit: Quick, seemless to make the deposit and came in right after a confirmation or two (LTC).
Sportsbook: Didn't place a bet, but, it was clean with some areas of improvement (explained in review)
Casino: Aside from some area to improve on its organization, it is the best part of the site. The megagames look great, but needs some optimization to support more browsers. Otherwise, nice job! Happy with my experience here as I made my 10 EUR, 20 EUR
Withdrawal: Requesting was easy, approval was instantaneous, receipt was within a few minutes (all via TRX!).
Any suggestions to improve user experience, the most liked section, a lucky moment felt gambling:Overall, focus on the UI and wording. The functionality has basically no problem, which is great because if functionality was a problem then it would be much worse. UI is a good problem to have...and it isn't too much of a problem. It just needs cleaning.
Compiled suggestions from the review:[
- Separate slots from other games in the Casino
- Focus on improving compatibility of games in "Mega" area. For some reason I kept getting redirected to the entrance when I tried these.
- Clean up the sportsbook area (betslip is fine). Small things like describing markets better, changing the market menus to amount of markets, not amount of options within each market (that's confusing until you realize that it's based on amount of options) etc. will make it cleaner, easier to understand for general users checking the sportsbook out.
- Add TXIDs to the Transaction history. I understand the TXID is displayed in the Withdrawal area, however it might be handy for the user ot have this information in one place.
Most liked section:Casino. Wide variety of games, providers and unique Megagames section. With more focus on compatibility, this area will be great. also biased like this the most because of my lucky moment
:
Lucky moment: Hitting tie on baccarat, taking me to 2x balance (20 EUR from 10 EUR!)
