Thunderpick Casino Review

How’s it going, mate? This is your boy Derrick, coming at you with another online casino review.

We’re going to take a look at a pure crypto-betting platform known as Thunderpick. Thunderpick hosts esports betting, sports betting, virtual sports betting, and casino games. Even though there’s a clear emphasis on esports betting, there is still more than enough content here for most casino players.

Join your boy Derrick as I dive deep into this online gambling platform in this Thunderpick review.

Casino Review Details

Thunderpick came out in 2017 as an esports betting platform. After finding success with esports bettors, they started branching out to include other gambling activities. They later added sports betting and virtual sports and finally, they got their Curacao license and now host casino games too. Normally, when betting sites cater to more types of players, they neglect some of them but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Thunderpick.

The website itself looks amazing. Even though it’s pushing its sixth year, Thunderpick looks like it just came out. The UI, colors, and navigation are on par with the top modern online casinos.

Registration is easy and quick, depositing works like a charm, and even withdrawing isn’t too difficult. When it comes to the actual casino, there are about 2,000 games available but they have some of the best software providers in the industry.

Bonuses, however, are lacking. Thunderpick does have two types of welcome bonuses, but that’s about it when it comes to deposit bonuses. The rest of the promotions stem from tournaments and gift cards (we’ll get to that later).

Where Thunderpick shines the most is how they handle their players. Not only do they offer live chat support that’s available 24/7 but they also have an open chatroom for all their players.

Here, players can share tips on what the best games are, brag about their achievements, post gifs or just casually chat. It’s amazing how a simple feature like this can go a long way when it comes to building a healthy community.

Let’s look at each of these in greater detail.

Country Restrictions

First of all, Aussies are more than welcome to start playing at the casino. That being said, the following countries aren’t as lucky:

• The United States of America and its territories, United Kingdom, France and its territories, Netherlands and its territories (and countries that form the Kingdom of Netherlands, including Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, Saba, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten), Belize, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Antigua & Barbuda, Comoros, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Isle of Man, Malta, Mauritius, Denmark, Georgia, Poland, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Spain, and Uruguay.

If you visit the Promotions page of this website, you’ll find plenty of bonuses available. However, upon closer inspection, very few of these can be used for casino games. It is to be expected. After all, Thunderpick esports betting does come first.

Casino players do get a pick between two welcome bonuses, which is nice. There is also a chance that each month (or sooner than that) players can win a gift card. There are also plenty of tournaments with one in particular that really stands out.

Welcome Bonus

Each player gets a pick between two welcome bonuses. The first one is a more traditional casino bonus with a 100% match bonus, but the wagering requirement is a little steep. The other one is an interesting 5% first deposit bonus. With this bonus, players only get a 5% match bonus but they only need to wager it two times, which is just amazing. Take your pick:

Welcome Bonus 100%

• Minimum deposit €20
• Wagering requirement: 30x(bonus+deposit)
• Maximum bonus amount: €550

Welcome Bonus 5%

• Minimum deposit €1
• Wagering requirement: 2x(bonus)
• Bonus code: WELCOME
• Maximum bonus amount: €550

Monthly Gift Card

Each month, Thunderpick chooses 200 lucky players and sends them out gift cards via email. These gift cards can contain free bets for sports and esports betting and even some bonus money for casino games.

To get these cards, players need to be active and play lots of casino games. VIP players, obviously, have a higher chance of finding a gift card in their inbox but even non-VIPs can get lucky.

Gift Card Giveaways

If you want more chances to earn gift cards, you can enter one of the many gift card giveaways. Simply visit the giveaway page, link your account and you’ll automatically enter the lucky draw. Just like with the monthly gift cards, more active players and VIP members have a higher chance of winning.

Thunder Race

As previously mentioned, Thunderpick hosts a lot of tournaments. These tournaments come and go as they please but there is an always-going tournament called Thunder Race. Thunder Race works just like any other tournament; the casino picks a certain game type (usually pokies) and all the players compete who can rack up the highest winning score.

What’s innovative about the Thunder Race is how, instead of an actual scoreboard, all the players are represented as racecars and the tournament length is the race track. Surprisingly, this simple animation is a great way to get players invested and excited about the tournament. Even if you aren’t entering, it’s fun to look at the race track and see which player has racked up the most points and how many points other players need to, literally, catch up to him/her.

VIP Program

Thunderpick has a VIP program but it works on invite only. Players simply need to be active, spend a lot of money, and engage with the community until they receive an invitation. Upon joining the VIP, players get a higher chance of winning a gift card, faster withdrawals, lower fees, higher betting limits, and a VIP manager. Pretty much, standard stuff when it comes to a VIP program, mate.

If you like free spins on those pokies, you’re going to be disappointed because there aren’t any free spin offers here. Perhaps in the future, Thunderpick may add a reload bonus or host a tournament that awards free spins but, as of now, pokie fans will have to get their free spins elsewhere.

This is a clear case of quality over quantity. Thunderpick hosts about 2,000 casino games (which isn’t a lot when you compare them to the competition) but they have some of the best software providers out there.

They also make it really easy to find the games you want to play by giving a separate category for each type of game (except for jackpots). Here are all the game types available:

• Spin, Crash, Live Casino, Slots, Blackjack, Poker, Video Poker Games, Cards, Roulette, Lottery, Craps, Baccarat, Bingo, Game Shows, and Casual.

And if you like to pick your pokies/table games based on software providers, here’s the full list of all available ones:

• Thunderprick (exclusive games), Pragmatic Play, Nolimity City, Evolution Gaming, Push Gaming, Play ‘n Go, Yggdrasil, Relax Gaming, Elk Studios, BGaming, Platypus, Amatic Industries, BigTimeGaming, Blueprint Gaming, Booongo, EGT Interactive, Endorphina, EvoPlay, GameArt, MrSlotty Casino, Playson, Quickspin, Spinomenal, Swintt, and Wazdan.

Pokies

Can’t have a nice casino without some pokies, can we? Of course not! Thanks to a decent selection of software providers, you can choose some of the best pokies available out there. Out of the 2,000 games, most of them are pokies and most of them can be played in demo mode until you are comfortable enough to play them for real.

Table Games

Unlike most casinos that just put all their table games into one category, Thunderpick actually has a separate category for each game type. So if you want to play blackjack, you simply visit the Blackjack category and take your pick from all the available blackjack games.

Unfortunately, they also threw live casino games into the mix here, so you’ll have to do just a little bit of filtering yourself. With that said, there are still plenty of classic table games (both single-player and live casino).

Jackpot Games

The only game type that, for some reason, doesn’t have its own category. Jackpot games need to be found in the sea of pokies. Fortunately, if you know your software providers, you can simply use the provider filters and ease your search. And even though Thunderpick likes to display their latest tournament winners, they don’t do the same with jackpot winners.

Live Casino Games

Not all live casino games are available in all regions but Aussies get to enjoy them all. The live dealer games library has everything you need, including Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play Live, and a few other software providers. You get to enjoy the best that live casinos have to offer at Thunderpick and your boy Derrick couldn’t be happier, mate!

Thunderpick is a modern crypto casino and therefore it only makes sense that they have a well-optimized mobile casino. The UI has been optimized to fit on a smaller screen, the games load fast and the chat option, surprisingly, works really well. I was really worried that a lot of things would be lost on the mobile version of the casino, but thankfully, everything works fine.

Heck, your boy Derrick was even able to make a deposit all through the phone browser and it actually worked a bit faster than it did on the PC. It was probably just my bank, but who cares! Overall, no complaints about the mobile casino.

Thunderpick is a pure crypto gambling platform. Players are expected to have a crypto wallet ready and transfer funds to their Thunderpick account or simply link them together. With that said, players who don’t have a crypto wallet can buy cryptocurrency directly from Thunderpick using a credit card.

Note that Thunderpick does have its own exchange rates which have high fees. When it comes to withdrawing money, players must have a crypto account ready.

Deposit Methods

The following cryptocurrencies can be used for making deposits at Thunderpick Casino:

• Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tron, Thunderpick Gift Cards, Tether, Ripple.
• Players may purchase cryptocurrency directly from the website using Credit Cards like Visa and Mastercard.
• Minimum deposit amount: $1.18
• Maximum deposit amount: No limit

Withdrawal Methods

Players may withdraw funds from their casino accounts using the following cryptocurrencies:

• Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tron, Thunderpick Gift Cards, Tether, Ripple.
• Minimum withdrawal amount: $10,72
• Maximum withdrawal amount: $53,611,25 (LTC)

Accepted Currencies

Thunderpick Casino accepts the following cryptocurrencies: BCH, BTC, DOGE, ETH, LTC, TRX, USDT, and XRP.

One of my favorite things about Thunderpick casino is the chat option for players. During this Thunderpick Review, this chat actually helped me out more than the actual live chat support. The community is friendly and active and they are really willing to help.

If players need some account-related assistance, they can contact live chat customer support which is available 24/7. Your boy Derrick connected them several times and each time I only had to wait for a few seconds before they responded. Just like the community, the customer support representatives were professional and friendly.

Customer support can also be reached via email but, sadly, there is no direct phone support. I’m really pleased with customer support.

KYC

Normally, crypto casinos have very few KYCs but Thunderpick is a little different in that regard. Depending on the type of wallet you use, the casino may request that you submit some documents before making your first withdrawal. In other words, if you are using CoinBase or Binance (or other well-known crypto wallets), you’ll probably have fewer KYC checks than if you were using a lesser-known crypto wallet.

Here are some of the documents that you might need for the KYC:

• Identification Card
• Passport
• Bank Statement
• Proof of residence
• Utility Bill
• Phone/Skype call

Available Languages

Thunderpick is available in the following languages: English, German, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, French, and Turkish.

Despite being primarily an esports betting platform, Thunderpick is still a fantastic crypto casino. With lots of games to play, a great community, and plenty of tournaments to go around, this is one gambling website that is really worth the visit.

If anything in my review caught your attention, give Thunderpick casino a try. You won’t be disappointed, mate! As always, We Got You, Bro!
