In a recent investigative effort, LCB.org has conducted an in-depth test of OnlineCasinoGames Casino, a US-friendly and crypto-ready gaming site operating without a license. The investigation aimed to provide safer insights into the operations of unlicensed online casinos, focusing on the registration process, ID verification, deposit, gameplay, and notably, the withdrawal experience.
The investigation began on April 17, 2024, with the tester, identified as “perobet,” registering at OnlineCasinoGames Casino. The registration involved a straightforward three-step process: entering basic information, providing address details, and verifying the email address. This seamless setup allowed the tester to quickly gain access to the platform.
ID Verification Challenges
To preempt any potential issues, the tester sought to verify his identity before engaging in gameplay. Initially, the tester submitted proof of identity and address via email on April 17, 2024. Despite providing the required documents, the casino informed the tester that verification was not yet necessary. However, after additional documentation requests on April 22, 2024, including a selfie and updated proof of address, the tester complied and completed the verification process.
Bitcoin Deposit
On April 18, 2024, the tester deposited USD 180 in Bitcoin (0.00284442 BTC). The transaction was subject to miners’ fees and BTC value fluctuations, resulting in a credited amount of USD 171.59. The deposit process was relatively smooth, with the amount appearing in the tester’s casino account within 15 minutes.
Gameplay Experience
With funds available, the tester explored a variety of games on the platform. Titles such as “Beary Wild,” “Planet of the Roos,” “T-Rex Wild Attack,” and “Great Golden Lion” were part of the gaming session. Significant wins included USD 39.25 from “Megasaur” and USD 245.70 from “Spirit of the Inca.” Following these rewarding experiences , the tester decided to proceed with a withdrawal request.
Withdrawal Process and Delays
The primary focus of the investigation was the withdrawal process. The tester’s first withdrawal request of USD 375.27 in Bitcoin was made on April 18, 2024. Despite the casino’s claim of a two-business-day processing time, the request was declined on April 22, 2024. Upon inquiry, the tester was informed that additional verification was required.
After submitting the necessary documents, the tester made a second withdrawal request on April 24, 2024. This request was eventually approved and processed on May 2, 2024, with the tester receiving USD 380.38 (0.00642 BTC). The multi-day delay for a Bitcoin transaction, which typically promises faster processing times, was a notable deviation from expectations.
