National Casino Dossier

What to look at in National Casino's own terms:

1. Payouts. From EUR or USD 10, wire transfers from EUR, USD or AUD 500; at most EUR 4,000 a day, EUR 16,000 a week and EUR 50,000 a month (T&C section 11). Visa lists Australia among unsupported countries for payouts, and the Mastercard list leaves it out.
2. Fees. Intermediary banks may charge up to EUR 16 on a bank transfer, and closing an account that still holds money costs EUR 12.5 for the manual transfer (T&C section 11).
3. Wagering. Every bonus, no-deposit and free spins included, needs 40 times on pokies only; jackpot games and a list of several hundred pokies are excluded (bonus terms 1k, 2a, 2b). A no-deposit bonus must be activated within 3 days and wagered within 7 (bonus terms 3i).
4. Max bet. AUD 8 a bet while a bonus is active, bought features and doubling included (bonus terms 1e, 3j).
5. No-deposit cap. AUD 75, paid only to a fully verified account after a deposit (bonus terms 1b).
6. Deposit bet 3 times. "All deposits need to be wagered x3 before withdrawal" (T&C section 4); otherwise "the Casino reserves the right to charge you the costs of transaction processing" (T&C section 9).
7. Idle account. After 12 months without logging in, "the Casino reserves the right to charge a monthly administrative fee" of EUR 10 (about AUD 16, our arithmetic), or the whole balance if it is smaller (T&C section 14).
8. Selfie and call. Winnings are not processed until a manager has phoned; a selfie with ID and a sheet showing the casino's name and the date, proof of wealth or a Skype video call may be asked (T&C sections 9, 10, 11). Not done within two weeks: "the account will be permanently closed and the winnings confiscated".
