Thunderpick Review

Hello Gamblineers!

Today I’m reviewing a big site of the online casino and betting community, Melbet.

They offer a huge selection of games, sports, eSports, …, basically if it exists in the world of online gambling, they have it. Of course, along with that they offer a wide variety of supported cryptocurrencies for all of you looking for altcoin options, they have fast withdrawals and, get this, 13 different bonuses. That is both for casino and sports betting but still. So after this review, click on the Play link above and see for yourself.

Let’s go!

A fast site, loaded in about 2-3 seconds. Nothing more to say here so let’s sign up.

They have 4 sign up methods which I think is awesome because you can choose a method that you like best. For me that’s e-mail. There’s a four step sign up process. They require your country, first and last name, e-mail and phone number. This is much more than you can see at the newer Bitcoin casinos as far as the KYC process goes but Melbet is primarily a betting site, which does play a role.

A little under 2 minutes which is not super fast but not a big deal either considering I took my sweet time typing everything in. I got prompted to deposit the same moment as I finished signing up so verification of my e-mail isn’t mandatory in order to play but I’m going to do it anyway.

As you can see their landing page is for sports betting, so I have to head up here to go to casino games. I have to sign in again now that I confirmed my e-mail. Let’s see how to deposit.

They really have one of the largest collection of payment options I’ve ever seen and my choice is Bitcoin, of course. I’m using my Electrum e-wallet as always.

It seems to be taking some time for my deposit to come through so let’s see if I can find the wagering requirements before I start playing.

I quickly went through the terms and conditions and I didn’t find any mention of wagering requirements there, which means I must wager my deposit only once. Otherwise, they would be required to write that down.

Their landing page, or lobby if you prefer, has multiple menu items where you can access pretty much everything on their website. Their sports collection is quite large but let’s stick to casino today and see their game collection.

The casino sub-menu is a bit confusing because they arrange all games under slots and have a separate entry for bingo for some reason. Also all live games are under live casino and live slots lead to an empty page. They should update this.

Anyway, after some promotions you can find all software providers to narrow your selection. They offer games from basically every known provider.

You can choose game category on the left and also change the casino lobby appearance. I’ll keep it dark because casinos belong to the dark side of the force.

As you scroll down, new games load automatically and frankly I’m afraid to know if I can handle scrolling all the way back up if I loaded them all.

You can use the search bar on the left to look up your favorite game as I’m about to do. Today I fancy some Legend of Atlantis.

Oh, almost forgot, where’s my deposit? There it is. It took 9 minutes for my deposit to show which is unusually long, I’ll see if their support can tell me why later.

Let’s play! I don’t know about you but my brain always wants the ladies on the slot reels to line up instead of this bearded guy for example even if he is worth more. Funny.

I’ll fast-forward my playing.

Everything works fine and I’ll stop here for the purpose of this review and I’ll play some more later.
To see all their payment options, you can head to payments on the top of their page. They have it categorized very neatly and offer a lot of options as you already saw with the deposits. Even among cryptocurrencies, their assortment is one of the largest.

Their payment providers are all listed in the casino lobby as I showed you before and now we only have some last few details to find.

You can find Terms and conditions and payment options at the bottom of every page.

Their terms are very organised and easy to go through which is the way it should be everywhere. Especially for bigger sites. Most of their terms are about sports, obviously, and the only thing worth mentioning here is that they only restrict countries for Netent gaming provider. You can find the list here under section 2 or you can look for them below this video on the Gamblineers site.

To find bonus terms you have to look at the bonus you’re interested in. Each bonus has everything explained neatly so you don’t have to jump between pages to get all the fine print.

They offer many contact options, a bunch of e-mail addresses of their departments of work, a phone number, a contact form and live chat. Let’s test their support and see if we can find out why my deposit took so long to get to my account.

I got a generic answer in a little over 4 minutes, which didn’t really answer my question.

I tried to find their license on their website but couldn’t, which seemed a bit odd to me, so I contacted them, and they actually sent me a copy of their license certificate by e-mail and assured me that they will add the info in their footer.

The last thing left to do is withdraw my winnings. So let’s head to my account and withdraw funds. I want Bitcoins, of course. The withdrawal process is very straight forward.

This next shot is from 2 days later because I’m a very laid back gambler and it took me 2 days to remember that It might be a good idea to see if I actually got my withdrawal. My account transaction says yes and according to my e-wallet I received the withdrawal in 7 minutes. I’m very satisfied about that.

And Melbet kept their word and posted their casino licence, which you can now find in their footer. They have a curacao gaming licence.

Now it’s time for you to try Melbet out for your self by clicking on the play button above. If you have any additional questions, requests, or comments about Melbet, feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the review.
