Desert Nights Casino Review

OVERVIEW | 3.14/10

Deserts Nights casino use RealTime Gaming software but are part of the Deck Media group that offer a variety of different software platforms.

TRUSTWORTHINESS | 0/10

Desert Nights are part of the Deck Media group who are associated with Fair Go Casino.

Fair Go Casino have seized a high 5 figure win from a player based on bonus terms that were not applicable to the player. When playing with a bonus the player exceeded the maximum allowed bet. Rather than confiscating the balance the operator chose to contact the player and tell them they would overlook the violation in this instance. The player had completed the wagering requirements and chose to play on with their balance. Their balance rose to over $90k. The operator refused to pay this win citing that when they chose to overlook the previous violation, the funds were considered to be a No Deposit Bonus, but did not inform the player of this at any point.

In our opinion the operator has simply looked for justification after a large win not to pay the player, and failing to find any legitimate reason as looked to apply bonus terms despite there being no grounds to view the play as subject to bonus terms. As such Fair Go Casino and all associated properties have been moved to Blacklisted status.

In the first half of 2015 Slotocash sent a payment to a US card provider that resulted in the player's card getting locked. The player was then left with a locked card and no funds as the casino declined to provide any assistance in resolving the matter.

In the first half of 2015 Black Diamond casino appear to have confiscated winnings from a player based on unethically vague terms and conditions.

Slots RTP

Desert Nights casino do not publish the house edge (RTP) information for any of their slots games.

Comp Points

The DesertNights comp point program awards 1 point for every $10 wagered and you can convert points at a rate of 100 comp points to $1. This is the same as the standard Playtech comp point program.

Accrual rates improve as you move up the VIP ladder.

Closing Thoughts

Where an operator invents a bonus contract to apply to a very large win when the player had no reasonable possibility of being aware of the rules. In our opinion this is nothing short of free rolling a player where the operator would have kept the money had the player lost, but when they hit a big win refuses to pay.

Associated By Company

The below operators are run by the same company as this operator. This means that, for well regulated operators, self-exclusions or bonus bans may carry over to these properties. For poorly licensed, or unlicensed operators, it is good to know which other sites are being run by the same company, so you can avoid companies that have mistreated you in the past.

Other Associations

We believe the below operators to be associated with this operator in some fashion that is not immediately transparent. More information about these connections is usually available in the Trustworthiness section of the review.
