Casino Extreme Evaluation

 

In its early days, Casino Extreme, a long-running casino that has been in business since the turn of the century, had a bad reputation for imposing abusive terms and conditions on its patrons. As a consequence, we did not investigate this casino until it recently changed ownership. With promises of prompt payouts and fair treatment of players, I was excited to try this casino to see whether things had genuinely improved.

Software and game selection

Casino Extreme uses Realtime Gaming (RTG) software for all of its games, which will be recognizable to those of you from the United States in particular. On their first visit, players are greeted by an enticing website and given the choice of downloading the casino, playing on the internet platform, or accessing Casino Extreme via their smartphone or tablet. During registration, details were set up and confirmed in a matter of seconds.

Hundreds of video slots, table games, video poker, scratch cards, and keno games are standard fare for an RTG casino. The quality of these games ranges from incredibly good to bad, but with so many possibilities, you’re likely to discover one you enjoy. I started playing the Spirit of the Inca and Triton’s Treasures slots, as well as some blackjack.

Mobile gambling is more limited, as is expected for an RTG casino, with only a few games available. Still, the games ran smoothly on my iPhone, and I encountered no connectivity or halting issues when trying the casino in my car while waiting for my kids to finish school. Although it is convenient, if you want the full experience, play on your desktop computer.

Banking and customer support

The banking system at Casino Extreme offers a variety of deposit and withdrawal options, such as major eWallets, credit cards, and bank transfers. I learned that the only realistic options for those of you in the United States were to use a prepaid Visa card or Bitcoin.

Withdrawals, on the other hand, are a different matter since you may get your money out in a variety of ways. Even better, this is the fastest-paying RTG casino I’ve come across. Withdrawals made using Bitcoin or eWallets are processed instantly, and aside from the standard marketing hyperbole, they appear to live up to this claim. I received a Bitcoin transfer within 15 minutes of requesting it during my test play at the casino. According to some participants, payments to e-Wallets can take as little as a few minutes, while bank transfers might take as little as two days.

If we were to criticize Casino Extreme in the banking aspect, it would be that withdrawals are limited to $4,000 each week. When compared to other RTG casinos that welcome US players, this is a mid-range restriction, but it doesn’t mean I approve of the practice. Small withdrawal limits frustrate me since they make it more difficult for real winners to get their winnings. This restriction, however, does not apply to progressive jackpot payouts, so if you hit a large win on one of RTG’s pooled jackpots, you will not be left trickling-paid for years.

Customer service at Casino Extreme, on the other hand, is superb, with staff available by online text chat, email, and phone. I’ve never had a problem where the person was unavailable, and I was always able to connect with a representative within 15 seconds of accessing the help box.

Gaming fairness, security, and ethics

In terms of security, Gaming Extreme employs SSL encryption technology to protect its website and casino software at all times. This is an excellent feature since it effectively renders whatever is communicated between your computer and the casino’s servers unreadable to anyone save the casino server.

Casino Extreme is typical fare for RTG casinos when it comes to fairness and responsible gambling. Curacao eGaming licenses it, however, there is no mention of the fairness of RTG’s games anywhere, and the casino does not reveal any sort of audits or return-to-player information for any of its games.

Although ineffectively, the casino addresses the subject of responsible gaming. You can set deposit limits on your account on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, but you must do it through customer service rather than self-serviceable account management. This also implies that the casino lacks the more intricate controls that modern casinos in licensed jurisdictions have, such as the ability to set time limits or wager limits on your play. As previously said, they are no different in this sense than any other RTG casino, however, it is obvious that they could all do better.

Conclusion

Casino Extreme has evolved much since the last time I reviewed it some years ago, and it has become an excellent option, particularly for American players. I enjoy the near-instant payouts for Bitcoin and eWallet withdrawals, as well as the support department’s availability at all times. However, there are still adjustments that might be done, such as raising withdrawal limits and strengthening responsible gaming regulations, to set this casino head and shoulders above its RTG-based competitors.
