Lucky Duck

Lucky Duck is an offshore casino with no license that is completely anonymous. In other words, this is the last casino you would want to find yourself working with. The conditions at Lucky Duck were also pretty bad – we have rarely encountered a casino that offers so few games and bonuses that are that unattractive. Moreover, we got far too little information on many vital elements of this casino's offer.

What we would recommend that you do if you want to stay safe and get access to conditions that can at least be classified as decent is turn to a big, regulated casino. Such enterprises have a lot more to offer and are, without a shadow of a doubt, a far better choice.

Lucky Duck Bonuses

Unlike almost all casinos, Lucky Duck does not offer any deposit bonuses. The casino did have a few promotional offers but none of them seemed very attractive.

The wagering requirements for withdrawing all bonuses are very low – just 10 times the bonus. Considering that most casinos would ask you to wager the collective amount of the bonus plus your deposits around 30-40 times, this is actually quite great. Moreover, receiving a bonus is actually quite easy once you have completed a few simple actions – and you would not actually have to deposit anything. However, the size of the bonuses you will be receiving is so small, it will probably not make any difference to you, or contribute to your playing experience in any way. All the bonuses are credited in Philippine pesos (₱).

Lucky Duck offers four so-called VKontakte Bonuses. You will get a bonus of ₱5 (or about $0.09) for joining the casino's VKontakte group. The same cash amount is granted for subscribing to the casino's newsletter. Sharing your achievements by writing a post will earn you ₱10. If you repost a pinned post, you will get the biggest bonus of this kind – ₱25 ($0.45).

Lucky Duck also has a Telegram community and grants two bonuses to players that choose to follow the casino on this network. Subscribing to a Telegram bot and joining the casino's Telegram community earns you ₱5 each.

There might be another plus side to following Lucky Duck more closely. The casino states that clients that are in the Telegram community or in the VKontakte group can expect to receive regular promotional codes and take advantage of additional bonuses. However, no specific information about those bonuses was provided – we were not able to find anything about minimum deposits, wagering requirements, or cash-out limits in the casino's Terms and Conditions or anywhere else on the website.

Finally, Lucky Duck offers players the chance to spin a Bonus Wheel up to 10 times – but only once a day – and get a cash price of up to ₱1.

Lucky Duck License

Lucky Duck is as anonymous as they come. This casino is not only completely unregulated but also has not provided any sort of company information. No company name or contact information was provided. All we were able to learn from the website was that the casino is supposedly based in Curacao.

Licensed Curacao casinos always provide a digital seal at the footer of their websites that would lead you to the website of their regulator and to their license. This was not the case with Lucky Duck – and since we did not even know what the company behind the casino is called, we were not able to get any additional information by ourselves. We also tried to contact the casino via their live chat and see if we could learn something but they never answered.

Working with unregulated casinos is extremely risky and we would definitely not recommend that you do that. You would not have any guarantees that such companies would treat you in a fair and transparent manner or that they have any sort of privacy protection or anti-fraud measures in place. The chances of the casino shutting down your account unexpectedly – without returning your deposits or winning – making sudden, unfavorable changes to its Terms and Conditions, or straight up stealing personal information are far, far bigger than with big, regulated casinos that have proven their reliability.

Online gambling websites regulated in Malta or the UK are considered to be the most reliable because they had to meet many requirements and conditions to ensure the safety of clients.

The primary authority responsible for regulating gambling activities in Malta is the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) while the regulator responsible for overseeing such business in the UK is the Gambling Commission. License holders are required to implement measures to protect players, including age verification, responsible gambling tools, and anti-money laundering procedures. Regular audits and financial reporting are a must. Online casinos also have to also meet certain technical requirements and implement things such as SSL encryption, secure payment processing, and fair game outcomes. Gambling websites have to promote safer gambling, offer measures like self-exclusion options, and include information about gambling addiction. Working with Maltese and UK casinos is generally very safe – but also comes with many restrictions.

Some clients choose to avoid such restrictions by turning to licensed offshore casinos instead. In recent years, the country has turned into an online gambling regulatory hub is Curacao. Local casinos are still obligated to protect customers and their privacy in certain ways but the restrictions are far fewer than with UK and Maltese casinos. The regulatory regime in Curacao is not necessarily straightforward since the local government does not license online gambling enterprises directly. Instead, it has granted master licenses to four independent companies called master license operators that are then responsible for supervising online casinos and handling client complaints. Although not all Curacao casinos are very reliable, there are many that are – and that offer great conditions to players.

Whatever sort of casino you choose – Maltese, UK, or offshore – we only recommend that you work with licensed enterprises. Such establishments are usually way more trustworthy and the fact that they are supervised ensures that you would get a higher level of service.

Restricted countries: Netherlands, Show All, Curaçao, France, Iran, Korea, North, Sint Maarten (Dutch part), Syria, United States

Lucky Duck mostly seems to be directed at clients from Russia. Even though the website did have an English-language version, big chunks of information – including the Terms and Conditions – were only available in Russian.

Languages: English, Russian

Lucky Duck Deposit and withdrawal

Currencies: US Dollar (USD), Russian Ruble (RUB)

The information Lucky Duck provided about possible payment methods was limited to a few logos at the footer of the website. The casino did not even mention what the minimum amount of money clients will have to deposit is. We were only allowed to open an account with a Russian e-mail address, Yandex, or VKonakte – more international options like Gmail did not actually function. Most casinos will only ask you to provide a phone number and/or e-mail as well as a little personal information before you could start playing.

Supposedly, you would be able to use popular payment options like credit/debit card, crypto, PerfectMoney, and QIWI to deposit. The casino also offered a few less wildly known solutions like YooMoney, MIR, FKWallet, Piastrix Wallet, and Skins. No information was provided about deposit processing times or additional fees.

Lucky Duck stated that processing withdrawals can take anywhere between 1 minute – which is quite unbelievable – and 3 business days. The monthly withdrawal limit is capped at ₱1 000 000 – or around $18 000 – which is quite liberal.

There are no dormant account fees but if you have not used your account in 12 months, it will be closed. If you have any money still left in it, it will supposedly be returned to you.

Lucky Duck Games and game suppliers

Lucky Duck did not provide any information about the game suppliers it works with – but considering the number and type of games the casino offered, that is hardly surprising.

Game providers: Other

Online casinos usually have a well-prepared selection of games clients can choose from and you will usually find the following categories of games in most gaming libraries – slots, table games, live games, and often enough sports betting. Lucky Duck had a completely different idea.

The casino only offered a few games – a crash game, Plinko, Miner, Keno, and Coinflip, as well as two more random games – Cookies and Nuts. Considering that most big casinos can offer around 2000-3000 games, this is very disappointing – we have never before encountered a casino that only offers 7 games.

When it comes to game selection, Lucky Duck is a complete waste of time – but that is hardly surprising considering the overall feeling we got from this casino.

Conclusion

Lucky Duck is definitely not a casino that is worth your time – in fact, this is one of the worst casinos we have recently encountered. This is an anonymous, unregulated enterprise that does not guarantee player safety in any way. Moreover, the casino has very little to offer – only 7 games in total and a few quite pathetic bonuses. We would recommend that you check out some reliable, regulated casinos instead of wasting time and money on this one.
