Keep watching our informative video review of RTG-powered Cool Cat Casino to find out what exactly happened while examining this platform!
Registration
Our tester’s journey began on August 7, 2024 When he completed the registration process via Inclave. As a final step of the process, he was supposed to verify his mobile phone number by entering a code he was provided.
Deposit
After a hassle-free registration he deposited USD 200, which, expressed in Bitcoin, was 0.00362923 BTC. To deposit, players can use Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and USD coins.
What we’d like to draw your attention to is that there are discrepancies between the cashier and payments page.
According to the deposit page in the cashier, no verification is required for deposits below USD 200. Processing time for all deposit methods is up to 15 minutes, and the minimum deposit amount is USD 10.
On the other hand, the minimum deposit sum on the general payments page shows that the minimum deposit amount is USD 30. Processing time varies between instant and up to 5 minutes. Some methods may incur a fee.
Gameplay & Customer Support
Having completed two initial steps of the investigation the tester went on to check out Cool Cat Casino’s well-equipped catalog. His first choice was Mighty Drums, followed by Beary Wild, after which he decided to reach out to the support department to find out what the minimum withdrawal for Bitcoin and wagering requirements on deposits without a bonus.
When he typed in the question, he noticed that he was 17th in the queue, which indicated that he’d have to wait for the response for a while. To entertain a consumer while waiting, the customer support department automatically sends mini-games through chat.
No response arrived during the day, so he decided to try luck a day later, but the same thing happened. This time, mini games aside, he was also prompted to a questionnaire regarding the quality of support, and favorite games.
13 minutes went by and the human agent finally responded, letting the tester know that the minimum withdrawal amount is USD 100. He also added that the deposit without a bonus needs to be wagered once.
After finally receiving the responses 24 hours later, the tester decided to play more games. He launched Planet of the ‘Roos, Jackpot Saloon, and Football Fortunes. The next in line was Trigger Happy which brought him a win of USD 45.54. After that, he played Mermaid’s Pearls and Empress Wu.
KYC & Customer Support
Even though the deposit page in the cashier states that no ID verification is needed for deposits below USD 200 that doesn’t mean the procedure is not required at all. On August 13, 2024, upon trying to make a withdrawal request, our tester was informed that he needed to complete KYC before submitting a request. The terms also confirm that.
To ensure the highest level of protection of players’ data, Cool Cat Casino uses HooYu for ID verification. The tester submitted the front and the back pages of his ID and selfie with a document.
Two days later, he noticed that the selfie was validated, whereas the photo ID, in this case, driver’s license, was still under review. Ten minutes later, he was informed that his driver’s license had expired and was asked to submit another document. Players should know that documents expiring in the next two months will not be accepted.
Thirteen days went by and his identity was still unverified. The notification on “My Documents” displayed the status “Missing Documents”. He tried to complete the process one more time on August 30, 2024, but no luck this time either.
The tester contacted the support department once again, pointing out that the system wouldn’t accept his documents. He was asked to send documents via mail, and he did so. The tester also inquired whether the relevant department could update the birthdate, as he accidentally entered it in the wrong format.
A couple of more days went by, once again without any success, so he reached out to the support department on September 5, 2024. This time, the notification in the chat box indicated that he was second in the queue, which was supposed to mean prompt response. But no, it meant another batch of mini-games and questions.
After almost half an hour of waiting in total, he was informed that the front of the ID with all four corners visible was still missing.
Pointing out that he already submitted the required document, the tester sent a mail to confirm it. Despite that, he was informed that he needed to resubmit it, due to the newest updates. The agent also added that documents are needed in better quality.
Two weeks later and 17 minutes of waiting for human agent to respond on live chat, the tester explained all the mess regarding ID verification one more time. After more waiting, he was once again asked whether he submitted the docs using the right address, and he confirmed it. He also copy-pasted the auto-response which aimed to confirm that documents were received.
Finally, after a couple of more minutes went by, the tester was informed that the documents were verified, meaning he was finally able to submit the cashout request.
Withdrawal
After the entire mess with ID verification was cleared away the tester finally placed a withdrawal request a day later, on September 20, 2024. He wanted to cash out USD 100 via BTC. As soon as the request was submitted, he received a confirmation that the casino received it.
As far as the notification stated (video 20.09. @ 1:47), the request should be sent for approval in 8 business days. Many days went by, so the tester reached out to the live chat department on October 18, 2024, to find out what was the reason for such delay.
This time, the response arrived fast, letting the tester know that a large volume of requests was the reason for the slow processing. The agent asked the tester to provide his crypto address to speed up processing. As far as the agent noted, the update on the processing should arrive in up to a maximum of 72 hours.
Three days later, on October 21, 2024, the tester was informed that the money was on the way and should be credited in 7-10 working days. That, of course, didn’t happen in the promised timeframe, so he contacted the support department on November 7, 2024.
The tester was asked whether the documents for ID verification were sent to the right address, and once again promised that the process would be completed within 24 hours. Two months after submitting the cashout request, the tester finally received USD 99.67/ 0.00102152 BTC on November 21, 2024.
To withdraw, players can use Bank Transfer, Bitcoin, Coindraw, and Check Transfer. The minimum withdrawal amount ranges from USD 20 to USD 100. Depending on the method selected, the fee can amount to 5% or USD 40. Processing time is between 7 to 10 days for all methods except for Coindraw, which requires 0 to 7 days to be processed.
Mind the rule that says that a player can request a maximum number of pending withdrawals equal to four times their current weekly limit. The weekly withdrawal limit is capped at USD 2,500, but it can be increased for customers on higher loyalty levels. If a payment is separated into installments, each will have a separate approval time.
Conclusion
Should ID verification take more than a month? NO! Should a player wait 24 hours for the live chat department to respond? Again NO! Should Bitcoin withdrawal take two months to be completed? Once again NO!
