Two-Up Casino is an online pokie gaming site that pays homage to the legendary raucous Aussie coin game played in pubs everywhere on Anzac Day, and at Crown properties in Perth and Melbourne year round. While you won't find the game itself here, you will find the entire suite of Realtime Gaming (RTG) slots, video pokers, table games and scratchies.

To learn more about the rules, odds, and different bets available for the game as played in casinos, please see The Wizard of Odds Two Up page.

While ownership of Oz-facing sites is usually withheld for obvious reasons, and there are not any online casinos licensed for play in any of the states, there doesn't seem to be anything in the new gaming and poker amendments that prohibit players from giving it a go.

The domain was registered in late 2017 and the site may have launched then or in early 2018. Whether operated separately or simply associated with them, we can tell you that BoVegas (not to be confused with Bodog or Bovada) is involved here somehow and their reputation leaves much to be desired regarding no pay, slow pay, and possible connections to other less than savory casinos.

Since we don't have enough definitive information about the operators, who could be a well-funded new crew with sterling business ethics, or not, we'll review the software, games, terms, and a few other elements of the operation.

Software and Games

Players in Australia and most other countries can access fast and fair blackjack, Real Series video slots with random jackpots, and fixed odds games like animated scratch cards on any device connected to the internet. The games load fast and are easy to play even over a cellular network. Tablets, iOS, Android, or Windows phones and tablets, laptops and desktops can all deliver the instant play versions of the games.

If you play from a sit-down location and use a PC, you can download the desktop client with even more games. All new games (which are released about once a month) and most of the highly played games can be played instantly, but if you want some of the older, original RTG titles like Golden Glove, Hidden Riches, or Outta This World you'll need the desktop client for now. All online sites are still in the process of converting the obsolete Flash formatted games to the future-proof HTML5 language, so they should all migrate to instant play/mobile in time.

To choose a pokie you can sort alphabetically by name, by the number of win lines, or by the jackpot amount. Looking at the Name list, Achilles is still the first slot most people will see. This Real Series random jackpot game was one of the first "Aussie slots" developed for RTG by Dynamite Games Pty Ltd in Sydney back in 2002. Games Lab now claims development of titles like Aztec Riches and Rainmaker.

Achilles is still one of RTG's most popular games simply because it's fun to play, has two-separate free spin features with up to 25 free games that can be retriggered indefinitely, and has a top scatter pay of 500x total stake and a 30,000x line bet win during one of the features. Also, because it receives so much play, the random jackpots fall often and can be won on as little as a penny bet.

There's a menu on the left where you can choose New Games, Pokies, Card Games such as blackjack, Caribbean Stud Poker, Pai Gow, and Three Card Rummy. The video poker suite has everything from single hand, full pay, Jacks or Better to Loose Deuces with 52 decks and hands per play.

Bonuses and Promotions

They offer generous welcome, special games, and monthly match bonuses with standard playthrough requirements and no max cashouts. Weekly cashback is really a 'free chip' with wagering requirements but no max cash out. The operation works on a "player class" system, so what you see is not always what you get. The requirements for achieving and maintaining "class" are nebulous at best and written simply as "Player class is generally determined by depositing or the gaming activity of the player," in the officially written terms.

Banking and Customer Service

Credit and debit cards, as well as Bitcoin, are accepted for deposits. Players may need to verify their accounts after the first deposit and won't be able to withdraw without verification. Approval time is stated as up to 4 days.

The minimum withdrawal level is fairly high but based on the proverbial "player class" with another caveat for 'payment method selected'. The maximum weekly withdrawal is also very low. Debit, credit, BTC, and bank wire payouts are said to be processed within 3-7 business days.

No matter how much you win or how long it takes them to mete it out they reserve the right to cancel your payout if you don't play or deposit in any 30-day period, and "Weekly or monthly withdrawal amounts may vary."

Live chat, email, and telephone support is provided.

Pitfalls

Terms are not always clear, especially in regard to 'player class'. Possible connection, through ownership or management to BoVegas which has reportedly been tied to a nefarious enterprise or three. Must continue depositing or betting while awaiting a payout. No license displayed. No dispute resolution.

The Final Word

Cool name, cool game. While RTG casinos come in every stripe and shape with some led by the creme de la creme of operators offering enough transparency to know what to expect and fair terms you can rely on, we can't say that this site would appear on the same list as elite operators. As long as you know what you're in for and understand the pitfalls, there's no Australian law we're aware of that says you can't play.
