Yup that's why these casinos sucks, not allowing USA Players to play when most of us are americans Grin    You guys must be doing bad if you had gotten into bitcoin to up sales.

The smell of shill...it burns...! Seriously, you are attacking this casino for absolutely no reason. The idea looks great.

I like your affiliate stats and functionalities. but no USA players can't be a good idea. Dunno if it's worth advertising.

I will show different bitcoin casino banners for visitors from US IP, so it's not an issue. I have a few affiliate methods coming. It would be nice to se banners with bitcoins in them.

How do you accomplish this? Are you using wordpress?

No, but you can do it with WordPress, the free MaxMind service and some plugin to execute php code in widgets/posts. But it might not be possible to do on some of these wordpress hosting services.

Enter the arcade world of the Jokerizer at Vera&John
http://cdn2crc.plaingaming.net/files/dynimage/770x190/files/upload/content/b06c6af7e05f0cf96cc7f1dfae3e4e45.png
The Joker is King in this classic-meets-3D fast-paced slot. Mystery Wins, Jokerizer Mode and prizes up to 6,000 coins in a single spin are waiting to be served up in this HOT slot!

This five reel slot features ten fixed paylines, five of which pay from left to right while the other five pay from right to left.

This slot marries classic fruit machine symbols to 3D animated spins, so you can expect to see orange 7s, bells, cherries and other typical fruit machine icons. The slot reels are semi-transparent so the arcade backdrop is easily seen, especially while the reels are spinning.

Winning symbols on each winning payline light up and the exact amount won is shown on that payline, to help you celebrate a win each time it comes in.

The Joker is the Scatter and landing three or more anywhere on the screen in the base game will award you with a Mystery Win. The Mystery Win is always at least 1,000 coins guaranteed.

The Jokerizer Mode is what makes this slot so unique. When you win, the total winnings are loaded into a separate balance shown at the top of your screen. This gives you the option to play your next spins in Jokerizer Mode or to just collect your winnings.

In Jokerizer Mode, the spin button adjusts to show the image of the Joker and each Jokerizer spin costs 20 coins which will be deducted from your Jokerizer balance, leaving your original casino balance unaffected. So you want to know what else makes this feature so special? Well…this feature gives you an even higher chance of winning then in the base game as you’ll only need to land two Jokers as opposed to three in order to win Mystery prizes between 20 and 6,000 coins!! If your Jokers are lined up horizontally or diagonally the Mystery Win is always 6,000 coins – BOOM!

All winnings from Jokerizer spins are loaded back into the Jokerizer balance and you can choose to end the Jokerizer Mode and collect those winnings at any time. The Jokerizer Mode will also end when you win a Mystery Win of 1,000 coins or more.

If you prefer to pump up the spinning speed of your reels, you can adjust the speed setting from tortoise slow to hare fast – slot setting to suit every spinning style!

Feeling hungry for a win? Play Wonky Wabbits now at Vera&John!
http://cdn2crc.plaingaming.net/files/dynimage/770x190/files/upload/content/867f8192a90ccb2a7cd83d4f724329da.png
With a Wild duplication feature, Stacked Wilds and a wins in both ways this is probably the only time you’ll ever welcome a hungry rabbit into your veggie patch...

The setting for this five reel slot is a lush green farm and with 15 fixed paylines that pay in both ways, you’ve got twice the number of winning opportunities. The reels are filled with brightly coloured patch-work vegetable symbols, as well as those high paying card symbols in the same fun design. We all know that rabbits love carrots, so naturally they are the highest paying veg. To add extra cheer and excitement to the game, symbols pop out in 3D and animate on wins.

The star of this slot is the wobbly-eyed, wacky white rabbit who likes to reward you with additional Wilds when he gets hungry. The Wild duplication feature activates when a Wild appears on your screen in any position. The ravenous little rabbit will move from that Wild and burrow under your reels to appear again on a symbol where the best possible win will occur. He’ll eat that symbol and turn it into a Wild -that’s munching good fun and more ways to win!

Scrumptious Stacked Wilds can also appear on reels two and four. This means that after Wild duplication has occurred, you could get up to 14 Wilds on your screen at one time - the potential for big wins is huge! More Wilds mean more hungry rabbits and bigger wins.

The quirky music and authentic slot sound effects will make you feel like you’re tending to your own veggie patch and add to the slot’s amusement factor.

Head down to the vegetable garden in Wonky Wabbits and chew on some veggie-tastic Wild wins!

Deposited €20 (+€20 bonus), went down to €10 and I'm now up at €104.38 and it says "You do not have any cash available to withdraw."
This is bonus account thing is really annoying  Angry How much do I have to wager to release my winnings?

The first deposit bonus has a 40 times wagering requirement before it's released and available for withdrawal. In your case you have to have made bets for a total of €800 and the bonus is yours to withdraw (higher amount if you are playing games other than slot games). Our bonuses are explained on our bonus explanation page.

What exactly do you mean by licence Huh And if you do have some of that kind is it on your website or published anywhere on the forum i guess we can see it you ensure you are strongly legit   Undecided Huh

I have investigated their license here, as it seems they are not very clear on this themselves.

What sucks about these casinos is that you still have to do age verifcation and all that bull crap sign up crap,  Rather stay with bitcoin casinos, they are only copying us now, cause they want piece of the pie, why give them our business, when they didnt want it long ago.

I registered, didn't do any location/age/identity verification, did 3 deposits and one withdraw (all in bitcoins).

They didn't ask me to verify anything either when I withdrew some BTC.

I think the bonus thing is basically just for show (as is it in all online casinos).  I made a withdrawal and got a popup saying I had to lose all my bonus money if I chose to withdraw.  I had played for some hours and still only released like 1% of the bonus so I assume it's pretty much impossible to release it anyway.  I figured I just ignore the bonus number and consider it "play money".

I don't think that they mind Bitcoin as I see clear advantages for casinos to take them (no fees, quick settlement, no chargebacks).  Probably the regulation for online casinos have created slow giants,  and I see no reason to not accept them like any other old-fashioned retailer that starts to accept Bitcoin.

I can confirm that I could withdraw 0.7 BTC from this casino. I was lucky and won almost 2 BTC from an initial deposit of 0.026, but lost half of it before withdrawing. I got the payment sent out to me the next day.

Looks like it would convert due to the fact it is so professionally done, nice graphics, licensed, great software
But Ill have to test it out... Im worried about
- users have to fill out more personal info than other Bitcoin Casinos
- no US players allowed

But I feel good abut Vera and John; only time will tell

Thanks, love the feedback!

- no US players allowed
Yeah, the non-US thing is what it is, we decided to follow regulations and do it this way.
That said, millions of euros every day are placed as bets at the games - through European customers.

- Users have to fill out more personal info than other Bitcoin Casinos
Agreed - This is fantastic about the bitcoin casinos. We're not a bitcoin casino per definition. We are an online casino accepting bitcoin. It has its pros and cons.

What is the advantage of a licensed casino over provably fair casino?

Good question. We think the provably fair concept is awesome. However, imagine having 8 different software providers providing you established games that have been all focused and developed for fiat currency. To add one provably fair to one single game would be simple. However, there's 400+ different games at 8 different large-scale companies who are providing us with the games, many of which can be played at traditional land based casinos. (IGT, Bally to name a few)

It's a hot topic and we're looking into it, but it'll take a while before anything can be realized. It's just not about changing a few lines of code. It's about persuading many different technology partners to accept and understand the benefits of provably fair.

The benefits?
We're established and been around for many years. We have a huge selection of games. We got a fantastic mobile site and 10 different languages of which a majority has native language support. We're licensed and regulated. Millions of Euros pass through the games we host every day.

We have now started accepting bitcoin as a first step. It's not perfectly executed and we love provably fair, but give us some time. It's a new phenomena and we are still just testing the grounds with bitcoin. All large corporations are like big trains; it takes time to build new railroads in new directions.

Advantage? I wouldn't say we are better than anyone else, verajohn.com is what it is. And we like pink balloons.


Or can you tell us what is the casinos edge?

The casino edge is different on each game, the highest one is at 98%, the lowest at 93%. You need to check each game for the number.
We also have a large selection of bonuses and rewards for all players at Vera&John.

Wow mobile interface .
how are processed the withdrawal&deposit ? instantly?

Hey thanks for the feedback.

The deposits are instant.

About the withdrawals, our European Union casino licence in Malta prohibits us to directly process withdrawals due to anti-money laundering rules and regulations fraud and other issues, so we do need to manually review each withdrawal. We have a large team maintaining this specific topic, on weekends it normally takes 4-10 hours normal days about 4 hours. Officially we say within 24 hours just to not make anyone sad.

I forgot to add: All withdrawals, regardless of the method you use, are treated the same. This includes bitcoin. Once approved, the withdrawal is instant - well, instant - the time it takes for any bitcoin transaction to get confirmed.
