Flip Casino

Flip Casino Review

Crypto casinos are a dime a dozen – ever since people realized that you can completely bypass traditional payment institutions (and all the restrictions they apply), everyone and their mother has made an online casino that accepts Bitcoin. The concept is hardly new, which is why our standards for this type of site are particularly high. Will Flip Casino reach, or perhaps surpass them?

To find out, we spent days evaluating every aspect of this casino, testing and examining its bonuses, games, extra features, crypto payment options, and, of course, its safety and legitimacy. This last part was in particular importance to us, given just how easy it is to scam someone out of crypto. As such, we went to great lengths to confirm whether Flip is legitimate or not.

So, is Flip Casino good enough to ‘flip’ our stance on crypto casinos, or will its flaws make us ‘flip’ out?

Bonuses

Right off the bat, Flip Casino left an incredibly poor impression on us due to one simple fact: it has no bonuses to offer whatsoever. Yep, you read that correctly: no welcome bonus, no reload promotion, no VIP program, not even a referral bonus if you bring a friend along. Absolutely nothing. We’ve almost never come across a casino without even the slightest hint of a bonus offering.

Usually, online casinos will give you bonuses for two reasons. The first one is to get you in the door – that’s what welcome bonuses are for (“deposit today and get a 200% match” and the like). The second is to keep you playing after you’ve already signed up (usually with reload promotions you can claim many times).

So what happens when an online casino offers neither a welcome bonus nor any reload options? You have no real incentive to sign up, or to keep depositing afterwards even if by some chance you did sign up. “But wait,” you may be saying, “I can think of a really good incentive – the games, obviously!” And that’s a genuinely fantastic point, the reason why people play at online casinos isn’t the bonuses, but the games. So, how does Flip Casino fare in that regard?

Games

Flip Casino has one of the most disappointing games sections we’ve ever encountered in our many years as professional casino reviewers. Do you want to play pokies? Too bad. Were you looking forward to playing live casino titles? Sucks to be you. Table games? No way, hombre. Skill-based minigames? In your dreams. At least over/under, which is the bare minimum we’ve encountered at other crypto casinos? Nope!

Which begs the question of what exactly CAN you do at Flip Casino? Well, have you ever wanted to bet outrageous sums of money on coin flips, or Rock Paper Scissors, or a spinning wheel? If so, then this just might be the casino site of your dreams. However, if you’re anything like us, you might just be scratching your head and wondering why anyone would want to play this.

Generally, people play casino games for two reasons (outside of winning money, of course). One is the spectacle of it (like pokies or roulette), and the other is the skill of it (like poker and blackjack). Betting on a coin flip covers neither reason, and, in general, it’s something that might not even keep a toddler entertained, let alone an adult.

Deposits & Withdrawals

So, to sum up, Flip Casino has no bonuses and an atrocious selection of games. At least its payment options are good, though… Right? Hah, no, of course not! We aren’t quite sure what its creators were thinking here, but at least everything is consistent because there are barely any deposit methods supported at this site.

Granted, Flip is a crypto casino, so by default it’s expected that it would offer little to no flat currency options – we can’t fault it for lacking something we never thought it would have. However, we did expect it to have multiple crypto deposit options, and it just… Doesn’t! You can deposit using only Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Doge, which is such an odd choice for currencies.

Under normal circumstances, we would have expected a crypto site to offer at least a dozen different alt coins, especially some bigger names like Litecoin, Ripple and Tether. There is no reason not to, so… Why doesn’t Flip Casino do it? It reeks of laziness.

Withdrawal time

If there is one positive to using crypto over traditional payment options, it’s that crypto withdrawals are rather fast. Unlike with flat currencies, you’re not dependent on banks or even institutions, just on the speed of the blockchain, which means that you’d have your winnings within minutes of your withdrawal request being approved. Even Bitcoin, which is notoriously slow, would take no more than an hour.

With that said, it’s worth noting that this information is purely theoretical. We have no data on how long it would take the casino to dispatch your winnings after your withdrawal request has been approved, nor on whether it even will. Sadly, Flip Casino is not what you’d consider trustworthy (something we’ll delve into a bit later), and as such we at casinoaustraliaonline.net can make no guarantees that you will actualy receive your money in the aforementioned time frame.

VIP Program

If you’ve been reading our review from the very beginning, then you already know that Flip Casino doesn’t even have any bonuses, let alone a dedicated VIP program. And if you jumped straight down, anxious to learn all about how you can earn so many great perks and bonuses by increasing your level… Well, surprise!

Ordinarily, VIP programs are an important part of online casinos, since they’re what keeps loyal players feeling rewarded for sticking with the site. After all, there’s a plethora of casinos out there, and not much stopping your limited number of players from jumping ship, which is why you have to take great care of them. Alas, Flip Casino don’t seem awfully concerned with that.

Tournaments

As you may already know, Flip Casino doesn’t have any pokies – and, as such, pokie tournaments are impossible. Now, to be completely fair, we’ve seen many casinos that will still offer players the chance to engage in tournaments that are outside the scope of pokies, such as for live casino or sports betting.

If Flip Casino wanted to, they could have easily made it possible to play tournaments for their games. But that wasn’t a priority for them: at most, you can compare your winnings on a constantly updated table which may or may not reflect objective reality.

Verification

There is no verification process performed at Flip Casino. And trust us, that’s a bad thing.

At most (read: nearly all) online casinos, you’ll have to verify your identity by providing a few basic documents before you can withdraw any winnings, or once your deposits reach a certain threshold, whichever comes irst. This is done in the interest of preventing criminal activity, like fraud or money laundering. Like, imagine if someone stole your data and then went into gambling debt without you even knowing!

Verification is supposed to prevent that, even though it may be a bit annoying to get through. A casino that does not require verification is not better than one that does – instead, it simply attracts illicit activity, and proves that it has a staff which prioritizes profits over player safety.

Is Flip Casino Legit & safe?

No. Truthfully, we’re very certain that Flip Casino isn’t legitimate. There are so many red flags that you could knit a life-sized replica of Clifford the Dog by stitching them together.

For starters, the casino is unlicensed, and has an unknown owner. As you can imagine, it’s extremely shady for an online casino to be hiding its parent company for players because… Well, why would they be doing that? There’s no reason to, other than to dodge accountability for illicit actions. This same lack of accountability is also why they’ve avoided getting licensed.

On top of that, the site also accepts only crypto payments (it also accepts CashApp outside of Australia, but that doesn’t really impact the point we’re making). Crypto transactions are final and non-refundible, not to mention anonymous. If you pay someone with bank transfer or an e-wallet and they scam you, you can often get your money back, which isn’t the case with crypto. Again, worth considering why Flip Casino ONLY exclusively deals in the one type of payments that can not be refunded.

Customer support

If you’re experiencing any issues with Flip Casino (which you might be), you’ll have two choices when contacting Flip Casino. The one we recommend is e-mail, since you’re a lot more likely to receive a response there. Granted, we can neither guarantee that you WILL receive a response nor that it’ll be helpful, but it’s something.

If you’re the type of person who thinks e-mail is older than dinosaurs and would prefer to just engage in some live chat, your only way to do that is via Telegram, as Flip Casino doesn’t have an integrated client, currently. Instead, you’ll have to rely on their Telegram, which is certainly an interesting choice. However, from what we’ve seen, Telegram replies can be hit or miss for this casino.

Mobile casino

Now, we haven’t exactly been what you’d call lenient when it comes to Flip Casino, but if there’s one thing we could potentially praise about it, that’s its mobile version. Admittedly, though, it’d be some very faint praise, since the best we can say about it is that it’s functional. Once you open the casino’s website through your mobile browser, you’ll gain relatively quick access to the six games the casino has, as well as any deposit and withdrawal options. It works.

However, it’s also not awfully difficult to make a functional mobile site for a site that… Doesn’t really have a lot of functions. You can barely interact with it as is, so we can’t really say it’s some grand achievement that they were able to make it work on a phone. Still, it’s telling that this is also the only part of the entire casino that we had no complaints about.
