Company and Info
A group of cryptocurrencies enthusiasts, who specialise in the programming and system engineering created Crypto Games Casino in 2014. They stumbled upon Bitcoin some years earlier and were impressed with what they saw and that led to them launching Crypto Games Casino.
The company specialise in five different games which allow customers worldwide to place bets in many different cryptocurrencies. Originally, the casino was launched to only accept Dogecoin, then 3 months after launch they introduced more currencies to play with along with the introduction of dice games.
Over a year later in September 2015, blackjack was added to their list of games and October 2015 was when lottery was launched. Finally, in the summer of 2016 they launched their fifth game, which was roulette and video poker was launched on December 2016.
Support options are provided by email and forum posts. If you need help or have a query, you can send an email to support@crypto-games.net or head to the ‘Official Bitcoin Thread’ where you can leave a message. There is also an option to chat via the chat bar to the lower of the screen, which flashes and can get quite annoying.
Crypto Gaming Choice
You don’t have a great deal of games to choose from, there are just six games to choose from:
To get your chosen game to load, you simply click the game you wish to play and click ‘play now’. We were sat a while wondering how the games load, because we assumed you just clicked the game you wanted. Your chosen game will load to the centre of your screen and there will be additional tabs above that will show you how to play and beneath the game are your currency conversions.
There is a jackpot that can be won by playing the slot machine game, all you need to do is spin in a win with the five symbols that represent your currency and that jackpot is yours. You can see the previous winners via the Jackpot tab on the table beneath the slot machine, it lists who won, what they won and how they won.
Bitcoin Mobile Casino
Surprisingly, you can access the five casino games on a mobile or tablet device. There is no need to go searching for apps or software, because the games will load via the browser on your device. A reliable internet connection is a must, to allow the games to load effortlessly without buffering.
All that’s required for you to do when you land at the mobile casino is to log in or register. Registration is a simple process and once completed you will get access to the full range of games, customer support options plus deposits and withdrawals.
Casino Design
We have come across many Bitcoin casinos and the vast majority have websites that seem to have been thrown together – but that’s not the case with Crypto Games Casino. The colour scheme is bold black throughout and arriving at the casino you will receive a message on how Crypto Games Casino is the best and provably fair cryptocurrency online casino site.
Navigation is simple as there are quick links to the games and that’s it. To the lower of the page is where you will find links to company information, FAQ, news and more. You can view the currencies accepted, the total bets for that currency, total wagered and amount won too. When the game you have chosen loads, it will fit to the centre of your screen, the graphics are not the best we’ve come across, but that doesn’t affect the excitement of the game.
Currencies and Funding
Players have the ability to deposit into their account using the following payment methods:
- Bitcoin
- PlayMoney
- Dogecoin
- LiteCoin
- GridCoin
- Ethereum
- Dash
- Monero
- PeerCoin
Deposits are simple, you head to your account and fund it to start playing.
Withdrawals are processed almost immediately, so there’s no hanging around waiting for to receive what you have won.
Casino Promotions

Monthly Bitcoin Wagering Contest
Starts 1st day of every month (0:00 UTC) and ends the last day of the month (23:59 UTC). The three users who wager the most on all games every month will receive the following rewards:
- First Place - 0.35 BTC
- 2nd Place - 0.15 BTC
- 3rd Place - 0.075 BTC
Top 10 players who wager the most (in the past month) in the following will also get rewards;
- Bitcoin - 1500 Bitcoin lottery tickets
- Dogecoin - 1500 Dogecoin lottery tickets
- Ethereum - Ethereum lottery tickets
Now and again, when Crypto Games Casino reaches a milestone, it will hold a giveaway. An example of this was when they reached 600 million bets received, they gave away lottery tickets into a Dogecoin draw.
What is a Dogecoin draw? You can access this via the lottery games section of the casino and you simply buy the amount of tickets you wish, to be entered into the draw to win. The amount you win is tallied up and awarded to three players; 1st place takes 80% of the pool, 2nd place takes 14% of the pool and 3rd place receive 4.5% of the pool. The remaining 1.5% is retained by the house.
Casino Verdict
Crypto Games Casino don’t offer the biggest or best range of casino games, what they do offer is a unique feel to an online casino. There is just one slot machine to play and that is a retro style fruit machine. You simply choose your payment method and play that machine that corresponds with your chosen payment type.
Beneath your reels are 6 different tables; rewards, all bets, your bets, jackpots, stats and top players. The table will update regularly as people play the slot machine. You can see who placed a bet, the amount they placed, the time it was placed, what currency used, their profit or loss and even the result of that spin with the result displayed as it would be on the reels.
Sadly, the chat bar to the lower of the screen does get a bit annoying, there is no way of turning it off. Yes, you can minimise it to hide the chat, but it flashes constantly and gets right in your eye line.
Another disappointment was the lack of promotions – in our opinions, casino lovers look for that extra incentive when playing at online casino sites.
Recently, the casino added a brand new features that enabled customers to exchange from one coin to another – thanks to the exchange feature. There is no need to leave the site to use this feature, you head to the withdrawals section and click the exchange options from those listed. There are no hidden extra fees, what you pay is sown to you prior to completing your exchange.
We found the casino to be very different and it stands out from all the other online casino sites that accept Bitcoin and the like as currency.
