As soon as you open the casino you see quite a simplistic design with the main colors being black, white and every so often a pop of blue or red.
It is definitely a game centric casino and the promotions almost play second fiddle. They are definitely showcasing their large selection of games. When you click on Casino you will see a standard banner scrolling with a few promotions, but then you scroll through pages and pages of games which are available to play on. While looking through the home page you can see games that Pribet recommends, Worldwide Sporting events, Top Games, New Games and recent winners. There is also a Jackpot ticker, which updates in real time. Just below that are the Jackpot game offerings and game providers. Some Live Casino game suggestions and then the registration page. I find this set up quite interesting, since you can register from this long read through, as well as the Register button in the top right hand corner.
Account Setup
Creating an account with Pribet casino is not difficult as much as it is tricky. They ask for personal information such as gender, contact number and birthdate, which means it is not an anonymous casino and will most likely ask for KYC at a later stage, but we will discuss this further in the article. Oddly enough, when you register through the home page, and when you register through the Register button at the top right hand corner you get two different registration pages. Below is the blue button:
Below is on the webpage:
When I tried to register with the homepage, the form didn’t complete the registration. It just spooled until I refreshed the page.
There was also no verification email received using this method, whereas on the “Register” button at the top right corner, my verification email was received - in the spam folder. Keep an eye for that. Also, side note, as soon you have successfully logged in, you are prompted to make a deposit.
Promotions
Pribet runs separate promotions for their Sportsbook and Casino, as most casinos like this do. They are bonus code dependent, so please ensure you check the codes before making the deposit and heading to play.
Welcome bonus
-
Casino: The casino welcome package consists of a 4 tiered bonus structure.
The free spins are on specific games per bonus, and each bonus combination has its own code to claim with the deposit, and under the terms and conditions of the promotion it does explicitly say “Members cannot receive the bonus if they failed to enter the bonus code with their deposit.” so please keep an eye on that if you are looking to claim the welcome package.
-
Sports: This is a once off bonus 100% up to 100 €/$/£ on your first deposit ever made at Pribet. The playthrough is 16 times the bonus amount received, the minimum deposit amount is €10 (or the equivalent) and the maximum withdrawal is 10 times the bonus amount received. Lastly, there are some additional country restrictions on this bonus (Burkina Faso, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine)
Reload bonuses
Pribet have 2 reload bonuses available:
They also offer Game provider specific and seasonal promotions which change regularly. The standard terms and conditions do apply to these casino specific promotions, so maximum withdrawal of 10 times the bonus amount received, and minimum deposit required is €20. Privet does not have a VIP or loyalty program, which is rather disappointing.
Games
Pribet utilise the service of 74 game providers on the Casino side, 8 Live Dealer providers, 2 TV games providers and, 2 Virtual Sports providers, giving you a really large variety of game types and styles to choose from. Their Sportsbook offering is pretty standard, with the game selections on the left-hand side of the screen and all the current events running are prioritised at the top on the left. Your bet slip is on the right under your balance. They have sectioned out the Live Betting and eSports portion of the Sportsbook giving those interested in those specific bet forms direct access instead of having to scroll all the way down on the left-hand side. When you wander into a game by a provider that is not allowed in your country the game just goes blank, no error message or warning at all. This is quite frustrating if you are sitting and staring at an unresponsive screen for a while before realising what is actually happening.
Coins and Payments
In order to process a deposit at Pribet all you need to do is click on the “Deposit” button at the top right hand corner of the casino. Pribet offers: Visa. MasterCard, Maestro Card, Skrill, NETeller, EVoucher, MuchBetter,MiFinity, SwiffyEFT, Crypto, AstroPay and Binance Pay.
We are specifically interested in the Cryptos they offer which are USDT, BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, XLM, XRP, LINK and USDC.
Once you have selected the currency you wish to deposit in (CAD, USD, EUR or JPY) you are then guided to the crypto currency you want to deposit in:
You are then guided to a QR code or address which you can insert into your wallet. There is a warning stating that due to the volatility of Crypto currencies, you will need to enter the exact amount as stated in your Cashier page.
My payment took roughly 3 minutes to arrive into my account, and one handy feature that Pribet has in the Cashier is that there is a countdown timer and you are informed here when the deposit is successful.
Another feature to note is the constant reminder to activate a bonus code while in the Cashier. I appreciate this feature, not that I accept promotions, but for those that do, this helps remember to claim the code and avoid missing out on the promotions available.
I was not able to process a withdrawal, poor luck this round, but after some investigation I have found that there is full KYC required even before you can consider processing a withdrawal.
Once you have uploaded your ID, you are required to verify your address. I stopped at the ID part since I had no good reason to upload my documents. The average withdrawal time for Pribet depends on your withdrawal method, but below you will be able to see further: Standard withdrawal pending time is roughly 72 hours depending on your depositing method:
This really is a lot longer than most casinos out there these days, and considering you will have to submit KYC during this time frame, could be a major turn off to most regular players.
Customer Support
Pribet offers 24/7 Live Chat as well as an email address for support.Their live support are quick to respond and are quite helpful, I did find the agent I spoke to a bit abrupt with trying to end the chat and move onto the next one. The consultant was quick to ask for a rating before I had even completed my questions, which is not a good look for agents.
Geos and Languages
Pribet is available in English, Italian, German, Norwegian, French, Finnish, Portuguese, Greek and Hungarian.
The following countries are prohibited to play at Pribet: Bulgaria, France and its Territories, Israel, The Netherlands and its Territories, the United States, and its Territories. Further to this, there are certain countries not allowed to utilize Sportsbook promotions: Burkina Faso, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine.
Platform Compatibility
The casino is offered on PC, Mac and Mobile. The mobile version of the casino is not too different to the web version, but you can feel and see it is directed to mobile users. The fonts are slightly different and adapt better on the mobile than they would on the web page version. It is as well designed as the web page version and reacts really well when flipping between landscape and portrait views.
Website Response Time
While navigating through the pages and games the response time was okay, not too sluggish but not very quick. Running the site through our trusted performance tester Pribet received an error stating it took too long to load for review, which does not reflect well. One or two of the games caused my fan to clock overtime, but that is not so much a casino problem as a provider problem in this instance.
Security and Community reputation
The community reputation for Pribet is downright terrible. Bitcointalk.org has no comments as yet, since it is so new, however, TrustPilot, Casino Guru and AskGamblers all give a really dismal rating. The main issues highlighted are the strict withdrawal rules, avoiding withdrawals and lack of responsible gambling.
Alternatives
If you are looking for a place to go where all countries are allowed and the rules aren’t so strict, head over to:
-
CryptoLeo: This casino offers a great amount of games for you to choose from, using a few of the most popular crypto currencies around.
-
Crashino: This unlicensed casino but it does promote anonymous gaming and a wide variety of games to choose from
Conclusion
Even though the community is not a fan, and the site might not load as quickly as others, it was rather enjoyable. Withdrawing is near impossible, but once you overcome the KYC requirements and get the nod of approval from the team, you are good to go. As with all our reviews, we do suggest proceeding with caution and considering there isn’t much room for VIP bonuses and loyalty rewards, we don’t foresee anyone making this casino home, rather a palate cleanser for when you feel like something a little different.
