Pros and Cons of Crypto Pokies

First thing’s first: what are the benefits that come with playing crypto pokies?

• Privacy and Anonymity - One of the biggest perks of crypto is the privacy and anonymity it grants you when gaming online. Rather than dishing out all of your personal details, cryptocurrencies allow you to create a crypto wallet, cloaking your actual identity.
• Transparency - On top of safeguarding your identity, crypto transactions also offer a high level of transparency. While they won’t disclose your personal information, every crypto transaction that is processed gets documented onto a public ledger, maintaining anonymity.
• Quick Transaction Times - We bet we can all agree that pending transactions are one of the biggest headaches when it comes to gaming online. But, with crypto, you can kiss that headache goodbye. Crypto transactions are processed almost instantly, so punters won’t have to worry about those pesky waiting times.
• Mobile Optimised - In this day and age, tech advancements are no joke. Today, punters can enjoy all the same high-quality, crispy graphics and innovative features right in the palm of their hand and while on the go - all thanks to mobile optimization.

All of this sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? So, on that note, here are a few disadvantages:

• Volatility - One of the main things to consider when playing crypto pokies is how volatile cryptocurrencies can be. The value of digital currencies can fluctuate significantly within short time periods, which inherently affects the value of real money winnings, adding to the layer of risks that come with gaming with crypto. Always be sure to evaluate how your chosen cryptocurrency performs in the market.
• Legal Risks - Crypto in the gaming industry is a fairly new concept - and one that some countries have not yet regulated, resulting in a grey area for both players and casino operators. This level of uncertainty can pose a risk for online gaming sites as they may find themselves shut down unexpectedly. Similarly, players might find themselves unable to access their funds or winnings.
• Technical Knowledge - Of course, you can’t actually play with crypto if you don’t know how crypto works. Knowledge of digital wallets, blockchain technology, and even market volatility, as we mentioned earlier, are all pieces of information that is required when playing crypto pokies. This information can be, understandably, complex for some users, so if this is the case for you, then it would be wiser to consider more traditional forms of payment.

Crypto Games at our Australian Crypto Casino

So, you want to play crypto games, huh? Well, then, you came to just the right place. At Rooli, we pride ourselves on our extensive game collection, from thousands of slot machines to hundreds of live tables and so much more! Now, we don’t want to give too many spoilers (where would be the fun in that?), BUT we can’t have you exploring the great Rooli Casino without a map to guide you:

Online Slots

Slot machines are one of the main pillars of online casino games and have become wildly diverse. Gone are the days of old-timey fruit machines (though you’ll still see more than a few of these running around); the pokies of today sport all kinds of mechanics, features, and bonus rounds. Take a look:

• Fruit Pokies: Any player who has dipped their toes in the online gaming world knows what a fruit slot is - they are what started all of this, after all. These games are distinguishable by their iconic fruity theme, filled to the brim with juicy symbols and even juicier payouts. Traditionally, fruit slots are composed of three reels and three rows, but nowadays, these games come equipped with some pretty nifty mechanics.
• Video Pokies: ‘Fruit’ is not the only theme game providers have explored. On the contrary, at Rooli Casino, players can unearth long-lost treasures in ancient Egyptian-themed pokies, face off against mighty gods in Norse mythology-themed games, or even travel to great kingdoms in Asian-themed slots.
• Megaways Pokies: Megaways slots is where things really get interesting. Regular video slots are composed of a traditional reel and row layout with a set number of pay lines - this is not the case with Megaways games. In fact, this mechanic does away with rows and reels and introduces a grid where symbols cascade down to form winning payways. Each time a punter hits ‘Spin,’ the number of symbols that can land on the grid is randomized, and the number of winning payways would depend on the number of symbols that land. Most Megways slots offer up to 117,000 ways to win, but you’ll spot some offering way more than that.

Live & Table Games

Not feelin’ up to spinning a few pokies? Then why not give our Live Casino a burl? Our live tables are decked out in the latest and greatest technologies and features to give you the most immersive experience possible. Why travel for the fun when we could bring the fun to you?

• Crypto Roulette - Dive into our awesome roulette tables and discover traditional titles like European Roulette and American Roulette. You can also kick things up a notch and find out just how far this timeless game has come. Fiery gameplay? Check out Mega Roulette Fire Blaze. Electrifying multipliers? XXXtreme Lightning Roulette is screaming your name.
• Crypto Blackjack - Speaking of timeless games, you HAVE to visit our blackjack lobby. Watch out for the big ‘21’ as you give classic blackjack a whirl, or turn up the heat with our personal favorites: Speed Blackjack, Free Bet Blackjack, and Lightning Blackjack.
• Crypto Baccarat - XXXtreme Lightning Baccarat, Baccarat Controlled, Golden Wealth Baccarat, and Prosperity Tree Baccarat will all be on your radar when diving into our baccarat lobby. Of course, there’s way more where these epic titles came from, but they are definitely the highlights.

The great thing about playing with us is that punters don’t necessarily have to play these great classics live. Live gaming is awesome for those seeking that real casino look and feel, but if you’re not quite ready or would rather practice a little first, you can always give First Person roulette, blackjack, and baccarat a try.

Jackpot Games

Jackpots put the cherry on top of the cake when it comes to winning. Split into fixed or progressive jackpots, these types of games drop a massive prize on top of all the regular payouts you are able to trigger in a game. Fixed jackpots award a fixed sum of cash, whereas progressive pots accumulate in size over time. They do this by taking a portion out of your wager every time you spin the reels and add it to the pot.

Progressive pots are also often network pots, meaning they span over multiple casinos where each spin contributes to the prize. Before you imagine just how large these pots can grow, why not see them for yourself? Word on the street is Coin Win Hold the Spin, and Wild Wild Steel are pretty impressive…

Crash Games

Crash games are probably the most unique category of games on this list. They involve watching a multiplier increase in value in the form of a rocketship, and the trick is to cash out before the rocketship crashes. They’re simple to grasp and easy to play, so you won’t have to worry about memorizing any complex rules.

Game Providers at our Aussie Crypto Casino

We gave you a peek into our games; now, what about the very providers that created them? Here’s a list of some of the most popular game providers in Australia that headline Rooli Casino:

• RedGenn - Founded in 2015, RedGenn quickly made a name for itself with its captivating gameplay and impressive features that have made players’ heads turn with every spin. This provider caters to all kinds of punters, offering a wide range of differently-themed games, including bangers like 3 Hot Chillies and Sun of Egypt 3.
• BGaming - While the minds behind the great BGaming first came together in 2012, this provider didn’t make its official debut until 2018 - and what a year that was. Since then, BGaming has curated a portfolio of over 200 products, including pokies, lotteries, video poker, and more. Some popular titles include Bonanza Billion and Elvis Frog in Vegas: Hold and Win.
• Wazdan - The story of Wazdan began back in 2010, and now, over 250 games later, Wazdan has taken the industry by storm. Show-stoppers like Mighty Wild: Panther and Magic Spins made massive waves upon their release, so don’t be afraid to give this provider a whirl.
• NetGame - NetGame Entertainment entered the scene in 2012 and quickly made a name for itself thanks to games like Golden Tree and Fortune Skulls. As a company, NetGame strives to offer punters an exhilarating and unforgettable experience, taking inspiration from real brick-and-mortar casinos.
• IGTech - A proclaimed global leader in gaming, IGTech dominated the industry with enhanced gameplay, engaging features, and all-around brilliant graphics. To get the full IGTech experience, we highly recommend pokies like Wolf Treasure and Caishen's Fortune.

Tip - You must pass the standard KYC (know your customer) verification procedure to become eligible for withdrawals. While we process transactions much faster than an average casino site, we advise you to begin the verification process and submit the relevant docs quickly to avoid waiting for your transactions to be approved.

Crypto Casino Bonuses & Promotions

As you surf through our game collection, you’ll quickly realize our crypto slots are quite formidable. But your Rooli gaming experience doesn’t end there. No, it won’t be complete without throwing a few promotions into the mix, and luckily for you, we have curated a few bonuses specifically for our Aussie crypto players:

Bitcoin Casino Welcome Package

Your crypto rewards come rolling in from the moment you sign up to our Casino. If you head to our ‘Promotions’ page, you’ll find a nice and hefty Crypto Welcome Package waiting for you. This was designed to welcome you to the Rooli experience and set you up for the adventure you’d be about to embark on.

Of course, claiming our Crypto Welcome Package is totally optional, and you can easily skip past this and get straight down to it, but we don’t recommend it. Our package awards both bonus funds and free spins on your first FOUR deposits, giving you the ability to play for a longer time and even experiment with a few games you’ve never tried before. Our Crypto Welcome Package is especially useful for new punters still dabbling in crypto pokies.

Losing is all part of the online casino experience, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make it a little bit easier. Give our games a trial run without fully risking your bankroll and depleting it completely.

Exclusive Promotions for Crypto Players

Whether you’ve claimed our Welcome Package or chose to dive right in, you HAVE to take a look at our exclusive promotions. We’ve got out-of-this-world offers running every. single. day. And you can bet that we’ve got a Crypto bonus lined up.

Check out our Frequent Crypto Flyer promo, and then keep an eye out for even more offers coming your way - we’ve always got something up our sleeve.

That being said, before claiming anything, be sure to give the Terms and Conditions a solid run-through. The T&Cs list everything you need to know about an offer, including how to claim it, when to claim it, and whether you’re eligible to claim it at all. There’s nothing worse than claiming an offer and then finding out you’re unable to cash out your winnings. Read through everything carefully, paying special attention to wagering requirements, jurisdictional limitations, expiration dates, and maximum cash-out limits.

Depositing & Withdrawing

Now that we’ve given you the insider scoop on our crypto games, the only thing left to do is deposit. As we discussed earlier, depositing and withdrawing with cryptocurrency is fast and secure. Once you have a registered and verified Rooli account, all you have to do is hit the ‘Deposit’ button, select the cryptocurrency you would like to deposit with and follow all the steps onscreen - and you’re good to go.

Note that while you can explore some of our games in the demo mode, you won’t be able to collect any actual winnings as you play, so charge up your account with some crypto funds and set off!

Cryptocurrencies Accepted at Our Aussie Crypto Casino

Can’t decide which cryptocurrency to deposit with? Here’s a list of cryptocurrencies accepted at Rooli:

• Bitcoin (BTC) – Built on blockchain tech, Bitcoin is the leading crypto for online gaming. It allows punters to transfer money globally with low fees and securely, thanks to its decentralized digital cash system.
• Bitcoin Cash (BCH) – Known for its fast and affordable transactions, Bitcoin Cash stems from Bitcoin with the goal of improving scalability, offering larger block sizes of 8MB.
• Ethereum (ETH) – Ethereum is the second-largest crypto after Bitcoin, but it is more than just a cryptocurrency. It is actually a software platform based on blockchain with its own cryptocurrency, Ether, and used to run smart contacts and decentralized applications.
• Litecoin (LTC) – Created in 2011, this crypto is a popular alternative for Bitcoin pokie players. Similarly to Bitcoin, Litecoin uses the Scrypt algorithm instead of SHA-256, but it offers 2.5 minute-faster block generation, allowing for swifter confirmations.
• USD Tether (USDT) – This crypto is known as a stablecoin for secure betting as the value of 1 USDT token is equal to $1 USD and offers reduced volatility with exposure to crypto markets. If stability is what you’re after, Tether is the coin for you, especially if you prefer to be tied to a fiat currency.
• Dogecoin (DOGE) - Dogecoin is one of the more affordable cryptos on this list. While it was originally created as a humorous cryptocurrency, it has been embraced by many businesses around the world.
• Tron (TRON) - Tron aims to accelerate Internet decentralization through DA applications and blockchain technology. As of 2021, it has overtaken Tether and Ethereum as the largest circulating global supply of stablecoins.
