BetFlip Casino Review

What does one do at a casino, when you really boil it down? You place bets and try to flip your chips into cash! Recognizing the inherent simplicity in this process, the owners of BetFlip Casino decided to name their site for what it is, perhaps hoping that its players will recognize their awareness and appreciate it.

Don’t get us wrong – we think it’s very clever, and we’re always up for reviewing casinos with more cheeky names and themes. However, we also prioritize many other things, including games, features, bonuses, payment options, safety and more – this is what will ultimately determine whether we give it a passing grade or not.

So, will BetFlip Casino get you to start doing flips out of joy, or will it instead make you flip out?

Bonuses

Welcome Bonus – 111% Bonus up to €3,000/1 BTC

We at casinoaustraliaonline.net have reviewed hundreds of casinos – probably thousands by now, it’s hard to keep track! We’ve seen bonuses in all shapes and sizes – 50%, 100%, 150%, even 500%. But we have to say that we’ve never seen a 111% match bonus. What a way to leave a first impression, right?

In all seriousness, in practical terms, this 111% match bonus isn’t too different from a 100% match. The real highlight is the maximum bonus you can get – up to €3,000 on your first deposit, or up to 1 Bitcoin if you’re depositing in crypto. That’s quite a lot, and while it won’t really mean much to more casual players, high rollers should be very happy with this first deposit.

In order to get the bonus, you’ll have to deposit a minimum of €20, or the equivalent of $20 in crypto. Once you’ve got it, you’ll have 30 days to play around with it, and to wager it x35 times if you want to withdraw it. Overall, while the bonus isn’t that special, it’s also not bad, especially if you’re someone who likes to put down a lot on their first deposit.

Additional Welcome Bonuses

Aside from the first deposit bonus, BetFlip Casino will reward you with four additional bonuses as part of the welcome bonus. That’s right – you’ll be getting a little something the first 5 times you deposit at the casino. And while the remaining 4 bonuses aren’t nearly as good as the first, they’re still better than nothing, and a nice little welcome to the casino.

All of these bonuses come with a maximum of €3,000, but the bonus percentage will be slightly different. The second deposit bonus will grant you a 25% match, the third – 30%, the fourth – 44%, and the fifth – another 20%. Admittedly, it’s rather disappointing to only get a meager 20% after you’ve deposited 5 whole times at the same casino, but again, it’s better than nothing.

All of these bonuses have the same requirements as the first, in that you’ll have a month to play around with them, and will need to wager them x35 times in order to withdraw them. Granted, with smaller bonuses, you might have more success in withdrawing these than the first deposit bonus, but it’s overall a rather small consolation.

Reload Promotions

Once you’ve gone through all 5 of the welcome bonuses and are getting hungry for more, your only choice would be to rely on the regular bonuses available at BetFlip Casino, the ones that can be claimed multiple times with no limits or expirations. These reload bonuses aren’t usually as good as the first deposit bonus, but they’ll certainly be better than the rest of the welcome offer!

As of the time of writing, BetFlip Casino offers its players two different reload promos. The first, the “Weekend Reload Bonus”, will grant you a 100% match up to €1,500 if you deposit at least €10 on a weekend, and we can safely say that it’s rather frustrating to see an offer this good locked behind 5 other deposits (since you’ll only be able to claim it after you get through the entire welcome package).

The other reload bonus will grant you a 20% cashback on all of your live casino losses for the week, up to €5,000. If those 20% accumulate to at least €20, you’ll be able to write the support team and ask them to give you a cashback. Keep in mind that only real money losses will be counted, losses from bonus funds will not be considered for the cashback, which makes sense.

Games

The bonus section of BetFlip Casino was kind of hit or miss, but the same can’t be said about their games selection, which is hits all the way through! Granted, we didn’t expect much when we first set foot in that section, but our limited expectations were promptly blown away when we saw the thousands upon thousands of games waiting for us there.

Nearly anything you could possibly want to place bets on is not only present at BetFlip Casino is available, and executed flawlessly. As the name suggests, the main attraction here is sports betting, but don’t let that fool you into thinking the casino section can’t hold its weight! Here you’ll find thousands of pokies, a wide assortment of high-quality live rooms and even crypto games and skill-based titles!

Granted, there are a few very minor omissions, like bingo or lottery tickets. But let’s be honest here: if you’re reading this, you probably don’t care about those. What you care about is pokies and cards, and there’s plenty of fun to be had with both at BetFlip Casino

Pokies

Counting just the pokies available in Australia (mercifully, BetFlip Casino will filter out the ones that aren’t so that you don’t feel taunted), the casino will present you with more than 4,000 different games from dozens upon dozens of providers. If you thought “Avengers: Endgame” was the most ambitious crossover, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

Large companies like Pragmatic Play, IGTech and Yggdrasil have teamed up with much smaller, yet still decent ones like OneTouch, Quickspin and MrSlotty, all so you can have the widest possible selection of games. On the popular page alone you’ll find titles like “Big Bass Bonanza”, “Gates of Olympus”, “Aztec Magic”, “Johnny Cash”, “Legend of Cleopatra” and so much more.

The layout of BetFlip Casino’s pokies section is also worth a special mention, since it makes finding your next favorite pokie so much easier. You can browse all games, filter them down to the most popular one, or by developer or feature (for example, whether they have a jackpot or not). And if you have something particular in mind, you can always look for it by name. Honestly, what else could we even ask for at this point?

Live casino

Our overall impressions of BetFlip Casino’s live dealer section were solid – although not without a few small nitpicks here and there. To start off with the positives, the selection of both games and providers is quite wide, with around 170 different rooms from 8 different developers available to Australian audiences.

Said developers are no slouches, either – we’re talking household names like Pragmatic Live, Atmosfera and LuckyStreak, talented teams who have offered some really decent games. Whether you’re interested in more traditional titles like roulette, blackjack and baccarat, or in more obscure offerings like Sic Bo and Teen Patti, you’ll ultimately be rather satisfied – even if we feel that the rooms for more famous titles are disproportionately more than the less popular ones.

One thing that’s certainly worth noting is the presence of “live game shows” provided by Pragmatic Live. These titles, such as Mega Wheel or Sweet Bonanza, aren’t too many and won’t blow anyone away, but they’re a nice little distraction for when blackjack gets to be a little much. Who among us hasn’t felt like spinning a giant wheel of prizes every once in a while?

Deposits & Withdrawals

One of the most important things about any casino is its payment options – after all, you as a player want the process of buying and exchanging your chips to be simple, right? Well, at BetFlip things aren’t always as simple as one might hope.

To start off, it’s important to note that this is very much a crypto casino – even if it doesn’t advertise itself as one. Most of its available deposit methods are for crypto, and when you’re ready to withdraw, you’ll only have crypto coins to pick out of (alongside bank transfer, but no one likes that method due to being slow and often carrying fees).

Furthermore, it’s important to note that while you only need €10 to place a deposit, you’ll need a staggering €150 in your winnings account in order to initiate a withdrawal. Yikes! That’s about 5 times as much as most other casinos require, and if you made a small deposit, you’ll be playing for a long, long time before you’ll see any kind of return of investment!

Withdrawal time

BetFlip Casino is, frankly, a little weird when it comes to its withdrawals, since most of the available deposit methods can’t actually be used to withdraw your winnings. Indeed – if you deposited using your bank card, or by about half of the crypto coins, you won’t actually be able to withdraw. Besides bank transfer, the only currencies that you can withdraw in are BTC, TRX, BCH, ETH and XRP. Quite the menu, huh?

Well, the good news is that most of these coins are quite fast. This means that, whichever one you choose, chances are you’ll be enjoying those hard-earned winnings within a few minutes of the casino dispatching them. If, on the other hand, you’re old-fashioned and prefer to use bank transfer, you’re going to be waiting for about 10, maybe 15 business days.

VIP Program

As far as we can tell, BetFlip Casino doesn’t currently offer its players any kind of loyalty or VIP program. This decision most likely stems from the fact that the casino already provides players with reload promotions, including a cashback feature. Under normal circumstances, these kinds of features would have been locked behind a VIP level, but here they’re available to everyone.

On one hand, it’s good that you don’t need to grind for something simple, but on the other, some players may find it frustrating to not have this sense of progression that VIP programs offer. Ultimately, where you stand will depend on your own preferences rather than on any kind of objective metric.

Tournaments

While BetFlip Casino’s VIP feature appears to be missing in action, its tournaments feature is more like killed in action. On its rather proudly displayed tournaments page, you’ll find a grand total of 3 tourneys (at least, that’s how many there were at the time of writing) – all 3 long completed. There was no active tournament to participate in, with the last one having ended many months ago.

While it’s certainly frustrating to find an online casino that doesn’t offer its players any kind of tournament options whatsoever, it’s somehow even more frustrating to find one that has an inactive one. We suppose that, if you have e-mail notifications turned on, BetFlip Casino will e-mail you once they have a tourney going. We wouldn’t hold our breaths, though.

Verification

In order to comply with international money laundering regulations, BetFlip Casino (as well as any other online casino, really) has to verify the identity of its players before dispensing any winnings. The reason for that is simple: if you’re someone who really shouldn’t be laundering money (like a criminal or a politician, as if there’s a difference), the casino will not let you withdraw. If you’re cool, then there’s nothing to worry about.

So, what documents are those? It’s pretty simple – you’ll need a proof of ID (like a driver’s license or passport) and a proof of address (like a recent utility bill). Those two will be demanded from everyone, no matter what. Additional documents may also be requested from some, such as photos of your credit card if that’s how you deposited.

Once you attempt your first withdrawal, the verification process will kick in, and the support team will lead you through it. Just be patient, have the documents on hand, and you’ll be good to go before too long!

Is BetFlip Casino Legit & safe?

When it comes to online casinos (and, well, the Internet in general), it’s very important to stay safe. Scams are abundant, and, well, there’s only so many Nigerian princes we can send money to before we learn our lesson! In the land of online casinos, the best way to tell apart a real casino from a fake one is by looking at its license and reputation. So, how does BetFlip Casino fare?

On the license front… Things aren’t looking good. We were unable to find any information about the casino on their website, and we’ve seen players accuse them of having a fake license – which means that it’s very possible that at one point in the recent past they lied about being licensed, and then removed it. Speculation aside, it’s fact that the casino is now completely unmonitored, and will face no consequences from any authority if caught scamming players.

But what about reputation? As you can imagine, it’s not exactly stellar, and we were finding it rather difficult to find even a single user review that was at least somewhat positive. Maybe your experience will be completely different… But, then again, maybe not!

Customer support

Finally, we get to one of the most important aspects of online casinos – the support page! And, despite a few obvious shortcomings that we couldn’t help but notice (such as the page being titled “SUPPORT_PAGE_TITLE_DESCRIPTION” – great attention to detail, guys), overall, our impressions of it were positive.

You don’t actually need to head to the support area in order to reach out to a representative – you can do so at any point by selecting the small icon in the bottom right corner. This isn’t an ideal solution, because in our experience, it took quite a while for us to actually connect to someone, and when we did, they weren’t the most knowledgeable. But it might be a good option for simpler questions that you need an answer to (relatively) quickly.

Anyone else would do well to just send an e-mail, cross their fingers and hope for the best. You can do so by submitting a ticket through the site, or just by shooting them a message via your e-mail client (for example, Outlook or Gmail). Whatever the case, ideally you’ll hear back from them within a day, but be aware that some delays may happen.

Mobile casino

Under normal circumstances, we’re quite easy to please when it comes to mobile versions. Does it work? Is it functional? Great! But BetFlip Casino’s mobile site just wasn’t really up to snuff at all, and we feel reluctant to recommend it to casino gamers who prefer to play games on the couch or outside rather than hunched over their computers.

For one, the mobile version is quite slow, to the point where even simpler operations take far too long than they need to. Simply switching from one page to another takes several seconds when other mobile casinos do it instantly. And keep in mind, this was tested using fairly fast phones on a (decent by Aussie standards) Wi-Fi network. Now imagine having to contend with this slowness while using 5G – we shudder at the thought!

Furthermore, the design of the mobile version isn’t too different from the desktop one, with a lot of small text and images that simply don’t look well on a vertical display. It’s clear that the developers wanted a version that could look well on both desktop and mobile (instead of just making two separate designs), and as a result settled on something that looked good on neither.
