Fat Panda Casino

Fat Panda Casino is a basic example of what an online casino is, and it can be used as a template. But other than that we cannot see anything worth your while here.

BONUSES

Fat Panda Casino offers only two bonuses, which is to say no variety at all. At the moment, the casino is really not worth investing in if you happen to be a bonus enthusiast, and there are many players that are exactly that; they depend on the boosts that bonuses offer. But even for casual players, two bonuses is not enough.

First Deposit Bonus of 100% up to €500 Plus 200 Free Spins: The minimum deposit you need to invest to activate the bonus is just €20, while the maximum deposit allowed it €1000. The bonus is active for 7 days, during which you will have to complete the wagering requirement where the maximum bet per spin should be no higher than €5. Speaking of, it's 42 times the deposit and bonus. It's also important to mention that the free spins are playable only on Jumbo Joker by Betsoft.

Reload Deposit Bonus of 50% up to €1000: Invest at least €20 up to €500, and activate the bonus. Make sure to complete the 42x wagering in 7 days if you wish to successfully withdrawal any profit. The maximum bet per spin is €5. Not completing the wagering requirements prior to issuing a withdrawal request will force the casino to debit all profit and bonus money from a user's account.

Tournaments: At the moment of writing this there were no active tournaments to speak of (despite there being a promotional campaign on the main page, it still did not budge as there was no way to view it). Usually, these are exciting events where players can chose to participate in various  games against other players, where the top winners get either a share of a big prize pool or individual rewards.

VIP: The VIP program has 100 levels, a huge number of levels meaning that the client really has to commit here. To reach a new level the client need experience points gained by following the formula: the current bet times the coefficient of the current VIP level. However, the casino has a points retention policy where it can reduce a client's level by one, at a time, The user must score a given amount of retention points per level in order to avoid being moved down. The user has 30 days per level to complete the retention process, otherwise he is moved down a level. As for the loyalty points, there is apparently some sort of store, that we saw no trace of anywhere, where the client can exchange these for bonuses.  Each new level bring a higher ration for a bonus. However, the VIP program is only talked about in the legal documents, and has no section in the website. We assume that the store and VIP section will be made available to users only after they open an account successfully.

LICENSE

Fat Panda Casino is operated by a company called SG International N.V., registered in Curacao with an Antillephone gaming license. SG International LP, is the payment service processor, registered in Scotland.

As is expected, the most important part of the Curacao license, as well as any other type of license, is the provision of safety and security measures. The casino is fully responsible in providing a safe gambling platform where all user personal data and money are kept encrypted and away from harm.

Apart from that, we can think of one other crucial regulatory requirement: that of fairness of gameplay. We are referring to the casino factor, the arbitrary element to any game of chance. Online casinos are especially scrutinized since digital games can be tinkered with. However, a Curacao license does not tolerate this; it guarantees that all games at Fat Panda Casino are based on luck alone, with no biased behaviors whatsoever.

To take care of its users is a critical side to the casino, especially those that are suffering from gambling addiction behavior. On its part Fat Panda Casino can impose certain limits or can persuade users to self exclude themselves, but its biggest responsibility here is to redirect clients to third party gambling addiction treatment clinics.

There's also a focus on providing a solid customer support system, where all users' needs are met, within specific times frames that is (certain queries and issues cannot be resolved immediately). But also, a great customer support team is a responsible representative of the casino as a whole, and thus it has the power to shape the image of the entire platform. So any deviations from friendliness or lack of support are unacceptable.

But there are the requirements set by the license. Why do so many casinos rush to become Curacao licensees? It's all about the freedom allowed here, within the reasonable boundaries of course. In the online casino industry, freedom translates to the ability and right to offer as many casino games and providers as you can, and having the choice to decide what your casino will focus on. It's too bad that Fat Panda Casino has not taken full advantage of this degree of freedom, as others have before it.

If we are to talk about any down sides to Fat Panda Casino, in terms of its license, it would be the stigma that Curacao still gets at times for being an offshore jurisdiction. It's clear that this country is not a scammers paradise, because, at the very least, there are 4 licensing types for online casinos there, of which Antillephone is one (and arguably the best one). And of course, the authorities have proven time and time again that they are more than capable of dealing with online casinos in the most professional manner outside of mainland EU.

Languages: English, Russian, German, Finnish, Polish, Portuguese

Restricted countries: Korea, North, United States

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

Currencies: Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD)

The payment conditions are average, as the casino doe snot leave much room for users with e-wallets or cryptocurrencies, not that we promote the usage of the latter. At least we have a minimum deposit revealed, despite it being buried in the legal docs.

There are no fees applied by the casino on any of the payment procedures. However, there are always system fees that come attached with the payment provider, and these are unavoidable. They are outside the casino's jurisdiction. Also, readers should be aware that there may be currency conversion fees when depositing an amount in a non supported currency.

After a period of 13 consecutive months of inactivity the casino will issue the dormant account clause. After that period the account will officially be deemed inactive, and there is a supposed fee that applies. However, Fat Panda Casino has not revealed the casino dormant fee. Instead of telling us what it is in the legal docs, it redirects us to a page that we could not find. So this commission remains pretty much a mystery. However, historically it has never been anything more than a symbolic amount.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

With an average look and a subpar organization, the gaming collection is nothing to get excited about, and it actually feels out of place at times, despite it being, objectively, standard throughout.

Let's begin with the slots, for these are the imperative part of any online casino. We are glad that to confirm that Fat Panda Casino offers a good collection of popular, common, and more unknown slots, with an emphasis on more of the common type slots, so that the collection retains a modern feel to it. There is a good range of themes on offer here so that the user can have a field day, however what lacks here is a good filtering system. Nevertheless, enjoy the likes of Merlin's Tower, Wild Phoenix, Bamboo Bear,  Candy Crush, Golden Dragon Inferno, Winds of Wealth, Chilli Pop, Stamped, The Tipsy Tourist, and more, as well as Jackpot slots that allow you to try your luck at some truly impressive big wins.

On the other side of things we have the live casino section, which turned out to be shallow and not what we were expecting. The only games that the casino offered were Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat and various versions of these three main types. Then there were some Tombola, Keno, and Spin the Wheel games. For some reason there were live games included in the table games sections: Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, and War of the Elements. It may seem lime a lot, but these were individual games, and so live games are not the strong suit of Fat Panda Casino.

Lastly, we have the table games, which are non-live games that you pay against the computer. With Fat Panda Casino there were more of these that the live ones, which to us means that the casino has made these a highlight. With the likes of  Blackjack, Solitaire, Roulette, Dice games, Dragon Tiger, Sic Bo, Craps, Poker, and more, Fat Panda Casino's table games' presence is solid.

And that is all there is to the games here. Overall not much to see, for the collection is average and feels outdated as if made for an audience of the previous generation. New comers or even those punters that have acquired a more contemporary taste will not like what they see here.

CONCLUSION

It's not easy to recommend Fat Panda Casino to our readers, not because it is a bad casino, not by a long shot, but becasue it is quite dull and overall prosaic, as if though created to serve the purpose of an example, the average online casino and what it looks like.
