Indio Review

Trustworthiness 7/10

Only one of the 6 reviewers who work for ThePOGG.com on a regular basis hold an account with Grand Reef casino and their account has been open less than 6 months. The report positive experiences with Grand Reef casino.

Under the previous owners, in the mid 2000s there was a rash of issues involving Indio and African Palace slow paying customers, seizure of funds using vague ‘spirit of the bonus’ terms and various other unethical practices to stall payment and bully players into keeping quiet. Alongside this a very concerning documentary regarding the legal status of African Palace’s operations in South Africa was aired on South African television in 2010. For further information see - http://www.casinomeister.com/rogue/africanpalace-indiocasino.php.

These issue seem to have been resolved since Commission 356 took over this group and African Palace and subsequently withdrawn from the South African market.

As far as we are aware Indio casino has no unresolved complaints with any of the major dispute mediation portals.

Given that it's now 2013, it would appear that these issues are a thing of the past. We have received assurances that Commission 365 are willing to engage with any player complaints that arise and as long as all issues are handled appropriately for all venues within this group we will increase Indio casinos Trustworthiness rating by 1 point every 6 months.

Licencing and Contact information 3/10

Indio casino are licensed by the Curacao Egaming ( http://www.curacao-egaming.com/index-4.html). From a player’s perspective Curacao are wildly seen to be a weak regulatory authority. While they appear to enforce strict regulation on their casinos behind the scenes, their handling of player disputes leaves a lot to be desired. – see our Curacao Egaming Information Page.
