PlayCroco Casino offers online gambling in Australia and elsewhere. Check out the game selection, generous bonus offers, deposit and withdrawal methods, payout times, and more.

This site is deadset designed to give players in Australia a "home casino". 

While it may be a new name, the operators are not new to internet gaming provenance. In fact, they are one of the most experienced operators out there. If a name like English Harbor doesn't ring a bell...

it wouldn't unless you are a geezer like me 

... then maybe their more modern sister-sites such as Liberty Slots and Lincoln Casino will. (Not Twin Rivers in Lincoln, Rhode Island USA).

Look for a great selection of Realtime Gaming pokies like progressive 3-reels and video slots, serious table and card games such as blackjack, roulette, and poker for real money stakes and payouts, along with a few specialty titles to ensure variety.

Operator Reputation

From early 1997 until a change in ownership in 2006, there were some odd situations where players had to fight to be paid due to perceived terms violations. After the change, the original venue continued to operate for another five years under new management with no notable complaints.

Out of nowhere, after Black Friday, the group's sites were all shuttered in mid-2011 and didn't reopen until a change in the software company; either through reorganization or simply rebranding. The group's inaugural offering was Liberty Slots, followed by Lincoln.

We're not at all surprised that we don't see a licensing jurisdiction link on the page, however, all of the company's properties are indeed licensed internationally. The former EH properties were licensed in Antigua & Barbuda, but the only current licensee there today is another concern. Our money is on Curacao. Either way, all Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) requirements of the jurisdiction are in force or the other properties would have been shut down ages ago. 

We find no unsolved player complaints over the last decade, except for unaddressable forum rumbles about licensing and a few complaints about weekly withdrawal limits and other terms we should all know before playing. There's nothing out of the ordinary here, but inexperienced players can be caught unawares of wagering requirements on bonuses and max bet limitations when playing with a bonus.

Software and Games

The site operates using the RTG platform. No download or app install is needed. Simply visit the site, register an account, choose your bonus (if you wish), make a deposit and you are good to go.

All games are played in your web browser on mobile, tablet, laptop, or desktop with any operating system. iOS, Android, PC, Mac... anything will do as long as you have a browser and can connect to the internet.

It's kind of exciting to see the operators offer the RTG suite of gambling games along with excellent bonuses and terms. The vast majority of Realtime Gaming pokies were actually developed and created in Australia. Since the new gambling amendments became law we're not sure where the game labs are now, but they could still be located in Sydney.

The Newest Games

Most of the fresh releases are pokies with the occasional arcade title or table game showing up. RTG has been releasing several new titles each month.

No matter where these new games are made, they are avant-garde pokies. A lot of the newer titles have multi-tier bonus rounds with the luck of the first increasing the potential of the second or subsequent features.

The mix of maths models goes across the full spectrum from easy spinners to hard nuts to crack. If you like arcade-style novelty games, reactors, or any of that sort of thing - they have you covered.

If you are a risk junky you can take an already highly volatile game like Shanghai Lights, reduce line count and boost your stake per line, and hope to pick up extra features for your second set of extra spins.

You might wonder...

What does this guy mean, "extra features" and "second set of spins"?

Landing scatters in the first bonus round will add up to six enhancements to the second set of spins! Look for features like full stacks of the highest paying symbols, wild reels 5, 4, 3, and 2; wild multipliers, and scatter pay multipliers up to 5x. You can also trigger additional bonus rounds and start the multi-feature over again and again.

Three Kingdoms War has similar mechanics with a slight twist, but still allows deeper engagement, high risk and reward, and outright thrilling gameplay.

Other Pokies

Almost all of the new games offer innovative, cutting edge features. But don't forget about the legendary Aussie Slots like Achilles, Caesars Empire, Cleopatra's Gold, and the like. As with the majority of titles, these all have a local random (not symbol-driven) progressive jackpot available. You don't need to bet extra to trigger it, and it can be won after any paid spin - even one line, one cent.

Yeah...

But do they have blackjack and table games?

I reckon they offer about 15 regular card and table games in the mobile and browser instant play lobby. About half of those are blackjack and blackjack variants. Additional games include:

• Progressive Caribbean, Hold'em, 3-card, & Pai Gow poker
• Baccarat
• Three card rummy

Video Poker

Look for about 60 VP variants when you take the hand counts into consideration.

• One Deck and 1 hand
• Three Decks and 3 hands
• Ten Decks and 10 hands
• Fifty-two Decks and 52 hands per game

Drilling down, there are 14 different payables ranging from Jacks or Better to Jokers, and Sevens Wild. Don't expect too much in the graphics department in this suite. The payables are "as good as it gets", but the graphics are definitely straight out of the 1990s or early 2000s. 

Specialty Games

I've always found it odd that RTG always places table games like roulette and craps in the specialties section, but that's okay - as long as you know where to find them!

One game category that many people won't miss can only be found on the download version and this site only offers instant play as of review time. That category is scratch cards. However, there is one animated sort of scratch card title here called Treasure Tree. And although instant-play doesn't offer bingo, you will find a keno game and most of the arcade-style games as they are released. 

Games such as keno, Treasure Tree, and Banana Jones may not appeal to all players - especially those who prefer strategy, low volatility, and high return to player percentages. However, they do offer an opportunity for another form of entertainment. They also provide the possibility of boosting a bankroll right away or winning a "Hail Mary" round to get you back into your favorite game after a streak of poor luck.

Bonuses and Promotions

Right out of the gate, this site had one of the most engaging customer attraction and retention programs out there. Most offers include a follow-up, and plenty of extra spins and other incentives are awarded for continued playtime.

The match percentages are decent, wagering requirements are much better than those offered by some operators, and bonus money is cashable. Low-rollers will especially appreciate the last item as many sites claw back bonus funds upon cash out. Not here!

Special note: No maximum cashout limits on most bonuses.

Max bet limits are totally acceptable and game restrictions for each sort of bonus are clearly stated and industry-standard.

The offers and terms place this site in the top ten RTG sites from trusted operators. In fact, about 7 or 8 of the other top sites in this respect are run by just two operators. That makes this option very attractive to bonus players.

We haven't been playing here long enough to know if some of the policies of their other venues have transferred over. Too much winning at Lincoln and Liberty can result in a significant reduction in bonus offers. Please feel free to leave a review on this page if that occurs to you here.

The welcome offers and stated ongoing incentives look very attractive regardless.

Banking and Customer Service

Customer care and payment processing are two of the most important considerations for the average player. Bonus lovers might be more willing to wait for their winnings and won't mind a venue with stuffy service. Most players demand more.

While your location may dictate which payment methods are available to you, we find several options for Australia, Canada, and the USA. Players in all accepted countries will have at least one or two ways to get their winnings cashed out, whether via bank transfer, Bitcoin, or another method.

The minimum withdrawal is higher than some places but the maximum weekly withdrawal limit is 3x the average at others operating on the same platform. First withdrawal and requests after a change in user information (a new card, new address, etc.) may take up to five days before processing.

Withdrawals are done in a "timely fashion". Please see detailed data in the box on this page for specific time frames for your jurisdiction.

Customer care is available around the clock:

• Chat - 24/7
• Email - 24/7
• Phone (was unavailable for us late Sunday afternoon)

Pitfalls

• VIP level-ups not clearly defined
• Pending/Reverse withdrawal times not clearly defined
• Limited withdrawal methods

The Final Word

PlayCroco would appear to be an excellent choice for players in underserved jurisdictions, especially those with draconian, confusing, or monopolistic regulations or no player protections for offshore gambling at all.

This site may be a great match for you if the following criteria meet your needs:

• Trusted operators
• Great game selection
• Attractive bonuses and terms
• Multiple area-specific payment methods
• Attentive customer service
