Pokie Surf Casino

It does not take an industry insider or even an expert casino player to notice that Pokie Surf Casino does not feel all too professional. To start off, the page was an odd and confusing thing, with the home page in particular being what we refer to as a fallacy in web design: the footer was right in the middle of the page, and bellow it were scores of texts that detail different slot types, bonuses, and other tutorial-like content that feels unrelated to what an online casino is, and feels like a reviewer page more than anything. Menawhile, certain pages of the website exist only in name: there are links that lead the user to subpages that only have a title but no associated content. And that's just the beginning, for what Pokie Surf Casino actually offers is only a smidge of what we expect a contemporary casino to offer.

BONUSES

Aside from 4 seperate welcome bonuses, the casino offers nothing more in terms of bonuses, and thus we start off on a low note.

1st Welcome Deposit Bonus of 150% up to AUD$1000 Plus 100 Free Spins: Invest at least AUD$20 to activate the bonus, and complete the 40x wagering if you want to be able to withdraw. As for the free spins, the casino will grant them in 5 days, 20 per day.

2nd Welcome Deposit Bonus of 100%  up to AUD$2000: This is the second deposit bonus. Invest AUD$20 and wager 4o times to complete the bonus cycle.

3rd Welcome Deposit Bonus of 100% up to AUD$1000: The third welcome bonus, and the same conditions as the ones above: the minimum deposit is AUD$20, while the wagering requirements are 40x.

4htWelcoem Deposit Bonus of 150% up to AUD$1000: The last of the welcome deposits, this one has, you guessed it, a minimum deposit requirement of AUD$20, and a wagering one at 40x.

As for any tournaments, the page for these is said to be under construction, while a VIP program does not exist. So, what we have here is an underwhelming bonuses program. Well, we are definitely not off to a great start, we can tell you that much. Better to have somethin rather than nothing, but even in the case of Pokie Surf Casino it's not enough to be taken seriously.

LICENSE

As we suspected Pokie Surf Casino turned out to be unregulated, as there was no regulatory seal, and no real mention of it being regulated by any of the dozens of authorities with the power and legitimacy to regulate online gambling platforms. To us it felt that Pokie Surf Casino never actually meant to be regulated, because if it did it would definitely not look the way it looks now, not to mention the way it plays out. It simply does not posses the zeal of a legitimized online casino.

There is a big “but” here that has to be explored. One of the biggest things to note is that unregulated online casinos are rarely a scam or even a risk, unlike forex brokers for example or other services. Unregulated in the gambling business does not equate to being illegitimate, but only working without a license, which is not to say mot being frowned upon. Yes, it's important to have a license in order to guarantee to users the legitimacy, safety, and fairness of your platform, and many users will not go close to unregulated gambling platforms. But to suggest that Pokie Surf Casino and other unregulated casinos will steal your money, thereby defrauding you, is not a straight way of thinking.

That's not to say that we haven't reviewed casino that were scams, but there are very rare and you can notice by their total disregard for client comfort, safety, and fairness. But Pokie Surf Casino does not strike us as a scam. It's simply not a well thought off casino and that's pretty much it.

But, even if Pokie Surf Casino is perfectly safe and secure, we still cannot recommend this platform. It's way too uninspiring and limited, offering nothing to attract and retain clients, and in all honesty (as you shall see) we wonder how it was able to survive thus far. And then obviously there the fact that unregulated casino have more freedom to act upon their own volition without having to pass through rigorous regulations and barriers. In terms of how this can affect users, it can pretty much lead the casino to amend shady clauses, introduce fees, change preexisting commissions, etc. We may have said that Pokie Surf Casino is not a fraud but that does not mean that it cannot try to take as much of the user's cash at it can without getting into too much trouble.

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

Currencies: Australian Dollar (AUD)

There was no payment page, which is another red flag for the casino, and a nuisance for us and users because it forces players to look for the required payment details in the legal docs. This can really cause users to completely give up on the casino as a whole because many, better, casinos out there have all the payment conditions laid out on simple and informative sub pages. In the legal docs we find the payment methods, or at least mentions of them: cards, undisclosed e-wallets, and wire transfers. The casino points to a “Deposit page” that does not really exist in reality, therefore Pokie Surf Casino directly lies here. But the worst part is that there was no minimum deposit, a serious omission.

Please note that if the total bet amount of a user is less than the amount of the initial deposit, the casino will charge a full 30% commissions. This is done upon the next client withdrawal, and to us seems like a good excuse to take out money.

There is a separate deposit rollover requirement of 1x that has to be completed with each new deposit. This is a standard requirement, but in the case of Pokie Surf Casino it may seem like extra weight especially in the context of the upper clause. This rollover is not associated at all with the bonuses, so it's a separate requirement altogether. The casino has not revealed what it will do if said conditon has not been met. Usually it's either a withdrawal fee or a cancellation of the withdrawal.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

The gaming hub looks and plays out poorly, and the organization of tit has also failed. Games are divided into their main type, but that's as deep as the system gets. And much of this spreads to the content itself, which turned out to be underwhelming,

Pokie Surf Casino offers an average video slot collection that may not hit the spot for many users. The likes of Hit More Gold, Buffalo Power, Black Wolf, 15 Dragon Pearls, Starburst, Gonzo's Quest, Sun of Egypt 3, Blood Suckers, Wild Wild West, Sakura Fortune, Wanted Dead or Alive, Fire Joker, Batman Begin, Sun of Fortune, Legend of Cleopatra, Jungle Jim El Dorado, Fu Cai Shen, Sugar Parade, and more are made available, but as you may have noticed there is a clear lack of other games. The collection is not the best but it will do, but we don't think it can retain all that many users.

Then the casino offers these instant games, of which there are 8 in total, and that's just unnecessary. If you want to offer alternatives, offer at least 50 so that users have at least the illusion of choice. With only 8 in total it does not really make all that much sense to even bother. Some of the games are Pllinko, Rocketman, Fishing God, Aviator, Jet X, and a couple of others.

The exact same comment can easily apply to the table games collection of which there is a total of 14 games. Now, how do you expect o attract and retain an audience with only 14 table games of which there are Baccarat, Roulette, Keno, Mega Money, World Football, Jacks or Better, and a couple of others that don't really seem like table games. It's a poor collection if we've ever seen one and not really worth your money. Not to mention that table games are rarely what attract users to any online casino.

And that's it. If you were expecting something more, well there's nothing to add. It ends abruptly. Obviously Pokie Surf Casino offers close to nothing that can compete with 90% of casinos, and even for an Australian casino it's poor. We do not really see it attracting a wide audience.

CONCLUSION

We understand that the situation in Australia is different for online casinos, but that is no excuse for Pokie Surf Casino to be this bad and underwhelming. Seriously, we users are encouraged to check our lists of Australian casinos to see for themselves what impressive gambling platforms offer their services there- these offer so much content, that Pokie Surf Casino cannot even dream to think to compete. Best go to these for your next venture into gambling; Pokie Surf Casino is not really worth your time and money.
