Casino Deep Dive
The same year the casino was launched, they introduced their 25% daily cashback promotion for all players. By the end of the year, they launched yet another awesome promotion - the weekend promotion. The following year, the range of exciting specials grew even further featuring the Comp points program - a loyalty program through collecting cashable points- and the Game of the Month promotion - awarding players with even more comp points for certain games.
In 2016, the casino got a whole new facelift. They have revamped the website and it got a sleek and beautiful new look. They added a bunch of new features including the Hot and Cold Games and promotion filtering. The website also got a very cute mascot, Thando the Chameleon, who made his way to Cape Town from the Outeniqua Mountains and makes his appearance across the site every so often.
Thunderbolt Casino is operated by well-respected Curacao based Audeo N.V. Thunderbolt also holds its gaming license from Curacao.
Games and Software
When you visit the games page of Thunderbolt Casino the categories that will be offered are New, Progressive, Slots, Speciality, Table Games, Video Poker and Mobile. As mentioned before, if you are playing from a mobile device you will only see slot games in the selection.
If you are playing from a PC or laptop you can either download the casino gaming software or go for the instant play version through your browser. Both options should work equally fine.
Thunderbolt Casino’s sole game provider is Real Time Gaming or RTG, a well-known name in the casino software industry. You can access over 200 RTG casino games on Thunderbolt’s site which come with superb graphics and feature exciting and fun animation and sound.
Thunderbolt is also very generous when it comes to free games as they offer unlimited free play to their customers and even encourage them to test out every game they want to play later for real money.
Perhaps the biggest downside of Thunderbolt is the lack of live casino games. Real Time Gaming entered into a partnership with a Live Dealer studio in 2015, so using RTG as a sole provider shouldn’t be the reason for not offering live games. Live dealer games are becoming more and more popular worldwide so we hope to see Thunderbolt joining the list of casinos that provide these exciting and thrilling games in the future.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods
When it comes to the safety of its players, Thunderbolt Casino does its best to ensure financial data safety. They have implemented several measures to make depositing secure. Withdrawals are processed only after verification documents have been processed (which is standard procedure at any legit casino). You will need to prepare and submit a copy of your ID, recent utility bill and proof of ownership of the cards you use to fund your player account.
At Thunderbolt Casino the only accepted currency is ZAR which might be inconvenient to international players as they will have to be converting their money into the South African currency and make calculations to figure out how stakes and winnings compare in their own currency.
The casino offers a decent range of payment options and if in any doubt, you can check out their detailed instructions on how to deposit with each method.
Punters can deposit by Bitcoin, the most popular e-wallets: Neteller, Skrill and Ecopayz, through traditional Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards or straight from their South African bank accounts through SID and EFTPay.
These methods also work for withdrawals with the exception of Mastercard cards. The minimum deposit amounts vary with the lowest being ZAR20 via Neteller and Skrill and the minimum withdrawal limits start at ZAR500 in all methods.
