Bet247 is an AUD online casino offering players a full range of Realtime Gaming pokies, random jackpots, progressives, cards, and table games.

New games are added to the RTG line-up at least once each month and players can download the casino suite to their desktop to get even more legacy RTG games not yet found in the instant play library.

RTG = Aussie slots! The first full feature video pokies with random jackpots that can be won on a one penny bet were made in Australia and it was only in 2017 or 2018 that they began using other labs for the games. More on RTGAsia in the Software and Games section below.

We can't tell you much about the operator of this site, and they don't display their Curacao license. With a mixed prohibition market like Australia, that's not too surprising. They most certainly have a license or they wouldn't be able to use the software.

The owners may not wish to be identified publically, and that is almost always the case with any private firm operating in a gray or otherwise unregulated market. As with all gaming sites operating outside of robust regulatory frameworks like those imposed and upheld in the UK and Malta, players often must gamble twice to play.

To go out on a limb, and I get paid the same whether I torch an operator to the ground or sing their praises, I would definitely play here if I were in Australia.

Software and Games

One of the first things players may notice when they arrive at the site is how clean and simple the layout is. Click on any pokie to bring up a demo version of the game. They all play exactly the same, use the same game engines, random number generators, maths, return to player percentages, etc., as the "play for real" versions.

Play a wide selection of popular games on mobile.

Play on iOS or Android, mobile web tablet, data or wifi, Mac, or PC. The games are "device agnostic", they simply "don't know" or care which device you use to play them!. Some iOS browsers don't support Flash-based games, that's on Tim Cook, though, right?

If you are new to Apple products and want to know how to get the most of yourgaming experience please visit our iPad page. There are links to detailed iPhone gaming information there as well.

If you prefer to access the entire library of more than 300 RTG casino games (counting video poker hand variants), and you play from a Windows PC, you may want to download the client to your desktop. The shell is small and won't clutter your PC as each game loads individually after installation.

While RTG are constantly working in the background to convert all of the popular legacy titles like Achilles, Caesar's Empire, Cleopatra's Gold and others to the mobile play format - some games like Triton's Treasure and a few other titles featuring expanding wilds and other lucrative features, can only be found in the download casino client (as of launch time).

Game Selection

The bulk of the games offering here is pokies, specifically, Real Series Random Jackpot games. Look for three-reel, five-reel, and even a few six-reel games like Ritchie Valens La Bamba, The Big Bopper, Lucky 6, and Super 6.

It might be a mistake to pass over the three-reel selection. There's only one "old school" game in the suite - Sevens & Stripes. The balance are modern video pokies with three reels - some have random jackpots, others have Win-Win features, and one has 27 Ways to Win.

• Scuba Fishing
• Double Ya Luck!
• The Three Stooges II
• Santastic!
• Sevens and Stripes
• Jumping Beans

The five-reel games see most of the action. Take a look at the random jackpot amount to know which games are getting the most play. Most of them are seeded with a $1,000 local progressive that triggers randomly. Some of the newer games (RTGAsia) are seeded at $5,000 to start the progression over after they have been won. No more than 1.5% of RTP is contributed to the jackpots.

Timeless classics and new classics

Aladdin's Wishes, Fruit Frenzy, and even Food Fight are found along with newer hits like Football Frenzy, Asgard, and Orc vs Elf. Most of the Asian-themed games are fairly recent releases in when you consider RTG has been producing or delivering games since the 1990s.

Funny how slot development seems to have left the country with the new gambling laws, but the quality of the games has only increased with new feature mechanics and modern bonus rounds. Some of us might still fall back on Achilles nearly every time we play - but Gods of Nature, Plentiful Treasures, Wu Zetian and a host of newer games all deserve a try. Try San Guo Zheng Ba, Tian Di Yuan Su, and Shanghai Lights if you haven't played Realtime Gaming for awhile.

Some of the newer games are quite high on the volatility scale, and a few of those allow players to choose the number of lines to bet, and raise bet per line, to really put the risk versus reward pedal to the ground!

Network Progressives

If you recall the halcyon days of online gambling and ever played at an RTG site, you might remember Aztec's Treasures. The game was released in a couple of modified versions a few years back.

Aztec's Millions is one of the variants. The jackpot is fed by players in the game at all sites that carry it. The pot was hovering around $3m at last glance.

Spirit of the Inca has five network progressives in a single game and each must 'pop' by certain dollar value. Each pot has its own "boiling point".

• Mini - Must trigger by $100,000
• Minor - $150,000
• Major - $200,000
• Maxi - $250,000
• Grand - $300,000

Increasing your bet puts you in contention for successively higher jackpots. Free spins include potential enhancements such as win multipliers and wild reels. Wild Incas expand in the base game and feature.

Megasaur is based on the older T-Rex title but features a jackpot approaching $1m, along with a feature guarantee and grouped wilds, one wild acts as a multiplier. During free games, the red and green Megasaurs also eat other dinos turning them wild.

Specialty

Fish Catch - You have to play it to believe it - but - we strongly suggest you play in practice mode or never leave the 0.25 bets until you get it figured out! You may think you have won a lot more than you have won before the cost of your ammunition is deducted from winnings! This game comes from a partner studio or the new RTG labs.

Bonuses and Promotions

Look for exclusive offers elsewhere on this page. New players can usually enjoy several chances at a big welcome offer with this operator.

While subsequent match play might not seem as lucrative as the percentages you would receive somewhere else, there are two things to keep in mind...

#1 They want you to win right out of the gate. Yes, they want to show you that they are, indeed, the place to play.

#2 There just might be something a little off-kilter about a place that continues to offer huge bonuses after they have introduced themselves to you properly. Is the return to player percentage at rock bottom? Do they even pay when you win? Are there various terms and conditions set up to catch you out?

The terms here are fair, even if the playthrough may be a little high.

But is it?

That depends on how much you plan to cash out when playing games that have a built-in max payout of 50,000x bet per line.

I've personally hit that limit many times and I want no max cashout on just about any coupon I claim in order to double or even increase my chances at a random jackpot or max payout when I increase my bet per line and lower the number of lines on a game with multiple expanding wild symbols. Your mileage may vary.

Banking and Customer Service

There is more to a great site than really fun and potentially profitable games. Let's face it... we all lose more often than we win or the gaming sites wouldn't be in business! You need to be able to get your money in and out easily, experience a fair game, and be treated like a valuable customer 24/7/365.

Of course, deposit and withdrawal methods can change from time to time, especially in a market like this. You may need to deposit with Visa or Mastercard if you don't use Bitcoin - and you may need to withdraw to your bank.

Please the "Banking" section on site for current methods and times.

Deposits are instant, except the occasional BTC deposit that can take up to 10 minutes to confirm due to congestion of blockchain processing.

Live chat and email responses are always available if you have a question. Minimum deposits and withdrawals and other important information are included in the website FAQ.

Pitfalls

• Seems to be a restricted offering with US and Canada among others not able to register or play
• No license on display
• No operator information available to the public
• No live dealer games

The Final Word

There are quite a few newer operators serving the Australian market. Most of them stay incognito since the government has decided that they must be licensed, yet no state or territory offers licenses to sites serving the market.

It can be difficult for players to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Based on multiple indicators I personally believe this is a trustworthy site and I would play there in a heartbeat.
