Wild Tornado Casino offers a whirlwind of gaming opportunities to online gamblers. The site was launched in 2017 for mobile and desktop play by Direx NV on an Antillephone Curacao gaming license.

Direx NV is the "operating arm" of SoftSwiss, the leader in Bitcoin compatible online gambling. Some of the sites operated by them include BitStarz, Das Ist, and Oshi to name a few.

Like any operator in the business, you will find a few complaints, grumbles, grouses, and dings. The good news here is that there are representatives on the major forums to help people solve any problems that arise, and we find no unsettled complaints going all the way back to the site's debut.

Some players who have used VPN or other location or identity masking technologies to play from restricted areas (USA, UK, France, etc.) have not been happy when they weren't paid because of rules violations.

Multi-account fraud, when proven, has caused some careless or cheating players payment problems, and some players have had a difficult time with document verification when they didn't follow the procedure.

There are no slow pay, no pay, predatory terms, or any claims of unfair practices to be found.

We find this to be a site that can be trusted to honor a bet laid with a winning bet being paid.Software and Games

The site operates on the SoftSwiss platform. Direx NV handles all of the backend business so the experience is like driving a finely tuned automobile.

The site is built for mobile and scales perfectly for laptop or desktop big screens.

Multiple currencies as well as virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are supported. The site is 100% secure using SSL-encryption.

If you count all of the variations of English, the site is available in 15 different languages.

Tech Tip: Voice search is supported on the site so you don't have to type in part of the title or scour the list of more than 3,000 games by the provider.

Navigation is more a breeze than a squall but you can blow through the site tour very quickly with well-thought-out menus guiding the way.

Game categories are clearly shown and they've taken the time to curate some great game collections ranging from Hollywood to Ancient Egypt, Psychedelic slots, and more.

There's also a separate section for BTC games. All of these titles are provably fair. This means that you can check the hash to determine the RNG (random number generator created) results are as they should have been.

This blockchain-based feature takes any doubt away from those who don't trust a multi-billion dollar industry under the watchful eye of stringent regulators to provide a fair game. We find it a novelty and wouldn't gamble if there were any doubt about bmm test labs, eCOGRA, TST, GLI, and others.

Game providers

Your location may determine the game library available to you. When visiting from one of our desks we found 37 game providers not counting all of the Quickfire partners. On another visit, from a restricted jurisdiction, we counted "only" 10 different developers including the Vivogaming live dealer suite.

BTC games

The user interface and game wallets on some of the games are configured for cryptocurrency betting. Some of the providers you'll find in this section are...

• BGaming
• Booming Games
• Endorphina
• Betsoft (BSG)

Other developers who have reinvented this important element of some of their games include Pragmatic Play and Play'N GO. In addition to slots, you'll find provably fair, bitcoin-banked RNG games like table poker, blackjack, baccarat, and roulette.

Jackpot games

We didn't immediately notice a section dedicated exclusively to jackpots, but all of the progressive games have a flag on them with the current progressive prize amount shown.

If you want to drill down to anything at the granular level you will find the answer. Ours were found by clicking the link in the footer to "Site Map".

One more click and we found the motherload of Platipus, Belatra, Betsoft, and GameART progressives.

RNG table games

With countless slots to choose from, table and card players are not left out of the wide selection of games. There may not be thousands of choices, but there is a great variety to choose from.

If you count on lady luck and sound bankroll management to rule the day, we suggest roulette, baccarat, or craps on the random number generator tables if you want to control the pace of the game.

Strategy games like blackjack and Pai Gow poker are good choices for those who want to work a little harder to cut the house edge as low as possible and wait for that hot streak.

Live dealers

Vivogaming provides the live dealer streams here. You can jump right in to a live game of baccarat, blackjack, or roulette. There's also a portal to the entire Vivo lobby with even more games to choose from.

Players in some areas may also find an Ezugi Gaming lobby. This is the best choice for players who prefer to configure their own gaming space with lots of customizable options like camera angles and lighting.

Chatting with the dealer is augmented with player to player chat, there are plenty of widgets to play with, and even a few mini-games.

Bonuses and Promotions

Of course, you'll find a bounteous welcome package and you can see the current offer elsewhere on this page along with the basic terms.

Ongoing incentives are dynamic and change in response to customer demands, but right now we're seeing extra spins at least once per week, spins/bonuses/cashback other days of the week, tournaments with generous prize pools and a weekly reload bonus.

Top Tip: Watch out for the max bet allowed when playing with a match bonus, it's just 1.00 EUR / 1.00 USD or 1.50 CAD.

Loyalty program

The scheme here is called the VIP Guild and players get to pick their own guild membership. Each guild offers a focus on different perks.

• Tornado - Prefer cashback? Join this one.
• Lightning - Do Free Spins lift your kite? This is the guild for you.
• Storm - Comp points are multiplied for members of this club.

The feature element of each fellowship is just the starting place. You will receive different rewards as you make progress up the league ladder. However, you can also simply change your affiliation and join a new one if you don't mind starting off on the bottom rung.

All weekly promotions are open to members of all guilds and progress starts with your first wager.

Banking and Customer Service

The site operates in many different currencies. If you deposit in different cryptocurrencies each will be held in a separate wallet. If you are playing any of the BTC games you can switch between any cryptos you have a balance of.

Payout pending time is *up to* 24 hours. Cryptos and eWallets are paid instantly after that and cards/bank wires will be settled in your outside account within 3-5 days depending on the method.

While there are many withdrawal options, none of them are available for amounts under €50. Bank wires, InstaDebit, and iDebit withdrawals start at €500 as a minimum.

Customer care

There's no phone support but live chat is instant and emails are responded to in a matter of minutes in our experience. The chat support is knowledgable and can help with a range of issues for those who prefer not to consult the FAQ.

Tip: Most of the replies you get from the live chat are cordial and have a personal touch, but we were looking at the FAQ for consistency and got the same answers from the person that we saw in print.

The FAQ is updated with current information whenever things like welcome offer terms or even the game free spins are provided on change. However, the FAQ is not time-stamped as the Terms and Conditions are noting the effective date and the time last updated.

Tip: Since they do stamp the page whenever a change is made it never hurts to pop onto the T&C just long enough to read the time stamp once you're familiar with the rules!

Responsible gambling

Personal limits including cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are available on the responsible gambling page. Look in the footer for a link along with contact information. Simply go to your account and enter the "Personal Limits" section to set your parameters.

Links to outside resources for help with problems are also provided.

Pitfalls

• Low max bet when playing with a bonus ($/€1)
• No telephone support
• Relatively low max cashout per day/week/month ($4,000 - $7,500 - $15,000)
• High minimum withdrawal for bank wires ($500)

The Final Word

Once you have played at any SoftSwiss platformed gambling site, navigating the nuances and differences becomes second nature. If you have never tried one of these "Bitcoin-powered" sites it's easy enough to simply deposit your local currency, play in that fiat, and cash out the same.

The Help section and Bitcoin Guide are a great place to start if or when you decide to take the plunge and transact in digital currencies.

The site has all the games you'd ever want to play and they're easy to find. Players are paid within a day but we'd prefer to see instant payouts.

The wagering requirements are not obscene, depending on the match value of your bonus at 40xb so you should be able to cash out often enough to stay happy here.

Some players won't like the €50 minimum cashout for eWallets and Bitcoin and we don't like the €1 maximum slot bet when playing with any match bonus.

All told, Wild Tornado is a good site with a good reputation, plenty of games, frequent bonuses, and daily payouts.
