Stay away - pathetic RTP
Stay away, unbelievably bad RTP. Just as bad as that other purple and yellow provider. 18 grand down over the last week with no decent wins to show. Borderline **** if you ask me. Time to close the account

cheated and disappointed
*** is the most absolutely WORST online casino. it's virtually impossible to win any meaningful amount of money. I picked one particular game and played it for 3 days straight with multiple deposits and ... nothing, not even any decent wins to keep me in the game. I had to keep depositing to stay in. my honest opinion based off my experience is that there are many casinos to sign up to that will give better results. *** is for suckers.

Don't use
This was the one site where you would win, now suddenly it is so hard to win! The games lag and you lose money because of it. I asked them to look at my profile and make sure that due to the lagging I have not lost money. Yet I got the automated response. I know they claim that everything is according to the standards and and and.. but I just don't understand why it has changed so much.

stay away this place is a money scheme
*** is just a money making scheme the same as those people that wants you to invest in their **** the payout is terrible and I suppose that they will now comment our payouts is optimized to pay when ever the machine thinks its time well spending over R10k and not even a free spin or so I I would advise people to not support this site and rather report them to the *** to be reviewed as i strongly believe there is other people who has lost even more without even getting a free spin or a bonus

they lie and never keep they promise
This sports betting platform is a total ****. Their site claims you can edit a bet before the match ends, but when I tried to edit my system bet at halftime, the system froze and wouldn't allow me to. They promised to refund my 100 Rand as a free bet, but it's been 30 days and I still haven't received anything in my account. On top of that, the slots feel completely rigged, and if you deposit money, they force you to wager 100% of it before you can make a withdrawal. Don't use this website—they will just take your money. If I could, I would share the *** and screenshots proving how unfair the system is. Trust me, I have the videos, ***, and firsthand experience. Stay away from them!
