Pirateplay Review

How We Reviewed Pirateplay

Here at CryptoSpinners, we pride ourselves on reviewing every casino objectively and thoroughly. That’s why we put each one through its paces while taking note of the following:

1. Licence, safety & fairness
   Of course, licensing is a tough point for all crypto casinos, but we want to see something. We also check out the fairness of the games and security of the site.
   
2. Evaluation of offers & bonuses
   What promotional deals does the casino offer, and how good are they when everything is taken into account?
   
3. Process to open a new account
   We want to see a quick and easy sign-up process that respects privacy.
   
4. Cryptocurrencies supported
   To be taken seriously as a crypto casino, a decent number of popular cryptos need to be supported.
   
5. Assessment of the games and providers selection
   Sure, it’s easy to cram a casino full of games, but quality also matters. Which providers does the casino offer?
   
6. How to withdraw
   Some casinos make it easy to deposit, but a nightmare to withdraw. We want to see a smooth and quick withdrawal process. 
   
7. Investigation of the customer support
   Does the casino offer multiple convenient ways to get in touch, like live chat, email, phone, and social media? And, how helpful are the staff?

8. Responsible gaming tools available to players
   All good crypto casinos take the welfare of their customers seriously and provide easy to use responsible gambling tools and advice. We want to see this.
   
9. Awards won
   We know, industry awards can be a bit shallow and don’t always mean that much, but it’s nice to see some trophies on the shelf.
   
10. Overall gaming experience
    All things considered, how do we feel this casino compares to other crypto casinos?

Pirateplay Licences, Safety and Fairness

Pirateplay has the Following Licence

• Curaçao (#8048/JAZ2020-013 – Antillephone)

What Makes Pirateplay Safe?

Pirateplay provides full ownership information, so we know the company isn’t trying to hide anything. It is operated by Dama N.V, which is based in the Dutch Caribbean territory of Curaçao. It employs SSL encryption technology to ensure the website is secure and your data is safe. 

When it comes to licensing, it’s no secret that Curaçao licences are less than ideal. But, in reality, it’s almost impossible for crypto casinos to get licences anywhere else because of outdated regulations. Hopefully, this will change in the future, but for now, Pirateplay has got the best licence it can be expected to have.

Pirateplay Welcome Offers and Bonuses

Welcome Offer: EUR 500 Bonus up to 100% with First Deposit + 100 Cash Spins + Guaranteed Lootboxes with First 3 Deposits

Pirateplay have really gone their own way regarding their welcome offer – which involves receiving a 100% deposit bonus up to 500 EUR (min. 20 EUR / 20 USDT / 0.0008 BTC / 0.01 ETH / 0.06 BNB / 0.1 BCH / 0.2 LTC / 200 DOGEn / 400 TRX deposit, 25x wagering requirements) with your first deposit plus 100 Cash Spins AND free lootboxes with your first three deposits.

But, is this good or average? Well, in all fairness, it’s difficult to tell because it really depends which lootbox you get. 

The following lootboxes are available:

• Spins
  • Free Spins: $0.05 – $0.90 per spin
  • Super Spins: $1 – $3 per spin
  • Super Spins+: $4 – $9 per spin
  • Dream Spins: $10 – $50 per spin
• Cash
  • Cash: $5 – $49
  • Cash+: $50 – $249
  • Pot of Gold: $250 – $1,500
• Jackpot
  • Emerald Jackpot: $100 (unlocks at level 2 – EMERALD)
  • Sapphire Jackpot: $1,000 (unlocks at level 3 – SAPPHIRE)
  • Silver Jackpot: $5,000 (unlocks at level 4 – SILVER)
• Gold Jackpot
  • Worth $5,000 and can be won at any VIP level
• Instant Level Up
  • Bumps you up to the next level ‘directly’

All lootbox rewards are wager-free, which is great. But, as we mentioned, whether or not this qualifies as a good welcome bonus or an average one, very much depends on potluck – and we have no way of knowing what the chances are of landing each type of lootbox.

Pirateplay Cashback

Depending on your player level, you’ll get wager-free cashback  when you play for real money on slots. The amount you get depends on your VIP level (keep reading for more information about VIP levels). 

• Level 1- BLACK: 8% Cashback
• Level 2 – EMERALD: 8% Cashback
• Level 3 – SAPPHIRE: 10% Cashback
• Level 4 – SILVER: 10% Cashback
• Level 5 – GOLD: 12% Cashback

There’s also a rather ambiguous statement saying live casino players can qualify for wager-free loyalty bonuses too. But, apparently, the casino gets to decide these at its sole discretion. Mysterious.

Pirateplay No Deposit Bonus

Unfortunately, at the time of reviewing, Pirateplay did not offer a no deposit bonus.

Pirateplay Rakeback Bonus

Unfortunately, at the time of reviewing, Pirateplay did not offer a rakeback bonus.

Other Pirateplay Promotions and Tournaments

At the time of writing this review, Pirateplay was participating in a global network promotion from Pragmatic Play. It consisted of a compelling weekly tournament featuring an impressive $125,000 prize pool. This was split across 1,200 cash prizes, and was a simple highest single win adjusted to bet amount format. A real-time leaderboard is provided in-game. 

Additionally, there were daily prize drops, which can be triggered randomly on any spin. The daily prize pool totals $9,000 and is split across 500 prizes. These Drop & Wins are an opt-in affair, and you must bet a minimum of $0.50 on qualifying games to take part. Unusually, multiple prizes can be won on the same day. Nice.

Pirateplay Loyalty Club and VIP program

As mentioned earlier, the VIP program takes centre stage (or should we say ‘deck’) at Pirateplay. Named ‘The Pirate Voyage’, it sees players progress through 5 levels, based on how much they have bet in total.

Each time you level up, you’ll also be awarded a new lootbox. 

How to Register a New Account with Pirateplay

Opening your Pirateplay.com casino is super easy. 

1. Sign-up: Click on the white ‘Sign Up’ button found in the top right corner. 
2. Enter your email address, and select a password. 
3. You are good to go.

Cryptocurrencies Supported by Pirateplay

Pirateplay currently supports a decent range of popular cryptocurrencies. 

How to Deposit Crypto at Pirateplay

Depositing crypto at Pirateplay is very straightforward. Simply go to your account and select ‘deposit’. Then select the crypto you want to deposit. Copy the appropriate casino wallet address, then go to your own wallet and make a transfer to that address. Depending on which crypto you are using, the deposit can be almost instant (BCH, LTC, TRX), or take up to half an hour (BTC or ETH).

Games Available at Pirateplay Casino

We love bonuses and offers, but at the heart of any online casino is a great selection of games, and here Pirateplay scores highly for several reasons. Firstly, there’s a huge choice, secondly, there are some top providers, and thirdly, the games are organised brilliantly.

Probably Fair Crypto Games at Pirateplay

As you’d expect from a good crypto casino, Pirateplay offers a range of blockchain-based crypto games, including smash hit crash games like Aviator, along with titles including Special Ops, Pride Fight,Spaceman, and Pinko XY. Because these games are played on-chain, they are provably fair, with players able to personally check the hashes from each round.

Slots at Pirateplay

At the time of writing, Pirateplay offered somewhere approaching 5,000 games, most of which were slots. Now, that’s pretty impressive but could cause problems when it comes to browsing and finding the perfect game. But, no worries, the Pirateplay team have thought of that and created an easy-to-use filter system. 

Browse and sort slots by various criteria including:

• New Slots
• Bonus Features (Bonus Buy, Big Multipliers, Pick & Win Bonuses, Re-spins etc.)
• Wild Features (Sticky Wilds, Multiplying Wilds, Special Wilds, Walking Wilds etc.)
• Game Features (Falling Symbols, Cash Symbols, Sticky Symbols, Megaways etc.)
• Various Themes

So, whether you’re looking for recent hit slots like Piggy Riches Megaways, or Money Train 2, or all-time classics like Starburst and Book of Dead, it’s easy at Pirateplay.

Pirateplay Live Casino

Considering how many slots Pirateplay carry, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the live casino section is pretty extensive too. In fact, there are over 290 live blackjack tables to choose from alone! You’ll also be spoiled for choice when it comes to live roulette, live baccarat, and poker.

Game Shows at Pirateplay

In the live casino section, you’ll also find a good selection of live game shows – the fastest-growing trend in the online casino industry. You can star in hits like Mega Wheel, Sweet Bonanza Candyland, Boom City, Crazy Time, Monopoly Big Baller, and more.

Game Studios and Providers

Pirateplay offer games from a vast range of providers, ranging from the biggest names in the industry like NetEnt and Yggdrasil, to interesting smaller studios like ELK and Electric Elephant.

Withdrawing Your Crypto from Pirateplay

You can easily withdraw up to EUR 7,500 worth of crypto per week, or EUR 15,000 per month, from your Pirateplay account. Crypto withdrawals are very fast, though it will depend on which specific crypto you are using.

Step by Step Guide to Withdrawing Crypto from Pirateplay

1. Go to your wallet
2. Select the crypto and how much you want to withdraw
3. Enter your destination wallet address
4. Confirm the transaction

Important Information About Withdrawing

• Always use copy and paste, and double check crypto wallet addresses.
• Remember that some crypto transactions can suffer significant delays due to network congestion (for example, Ether (ETH) and Ethereum-based tokens). 

Non-Crypto Withdrawals

Pirateplay Mobile App

Pirateplay does not offer a mobile app at this time, though the site works fine on most mobile devices using a regular browser.

Player Support at Pirateplay Casino

Like most good online casinos these days, Pirateplay offers support via email and live chat. Our experience with support was positive, with helpful, professional staff able to easily answer queries.

Languages:

Pirateplay is available in English, German, Italian, and Norwegian.

Pirateplay and Responsible Gaming

While the vast majority of players are fully in control of their gaming, we should always remember that prevention is better than a cure when it comes to problem gambling. So, we want to see casinos provide convenient self-service tools and access to useful information. 

Fortunately, Pirateplay seems to agree with us. You can set various Personal Limits, including on session durations, or temporarily exclude yourself, using the tools found in the Play Safe section of the site. However, if you want to set a deposit limit, you will need to get in touch with the customer service team via email. Additionally, you can also contact support to request self-exclusion for a specific or indefinite duration. 

Pirateplay also provides links to organisations including Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. To help parents prevent minors from accessing gambling content, the site also provides links to CyberPatrol, GamBlock, Solid Oak Software, and Net Nanny.

Awards and Recognitions

At the time of writing, Pirateplay did not display any awards or recognitions.

Overall Impressions of Pirateplay

If we’re totally honest, we weren’t expecting much from Pirateplay – probably because the name has more than a slight dodgy feel to it! But, we were pleasantly surprised, with the casino hitting the mark on pretty much everything. 

Functionally, it’s great, with easy sign-up and payments, and useful filters and categories. In terms of games content, the choice and variety of both slots and live casino is excellent and, of course, there’s the all-important probably fair blockchain-based games. Topping it all off is a novel approach to bonuses in the form of lootboxes. 

So, all things considered, we highly recommend you board the Pirateplay ship today. Shiver my timbers, argggh!
