Who is this Casino for?
Players who want to be valued and properly treated when they achieve VIP level. For newcomers it is also a good choice no matter if you come from a crypto background or if you are a gambler at heart, the UX is very user friendly, after one game session you will navigate comfortably.
What Could Be Improved?
It's practically unavailable anywhere…It’s unbelievably frustrating to try different countries in your VPN, refresh and see that it's unavailable in your location, then, after you finally find something available, guess what the game providers are unavailable. At least tell the users what VPN to use to have the entire game portfolio available. Also, if the user is not from US, why do you recommend them to go to the US version of the website? This sounds deceiving, just recommend sweepstakes, be honest with your players!
Another annoying thing about Shuffle is content curation and game portfolio. It is clear that the team is not from gambling, they recommend games that are not favored by players, probably for some benefits from game providers and any player who opens their website understands that. On the same subject they recommend games with the same mechanics, meaning that you need to know exactly the game you want to play or they will just recommend you some bullshit. It is not a place where you can find inspiration or new games with potential, because they prioritise game provider benefits over player’s entertainment. They also don’t have a full portfolio of game providers, missing some key names that provide low volatility games, but in their defence, crypto players prefer higher volatility games over low volatility and they do have an edge there.
In terms of promotions they are more generous with their VIP players, but when it comes to regular players and internal campaigns available for everyone they lack diversity, they try to appeal to a particular type of player rather then try to cater to every player that joins their casino.
Crypto-First Features:
Given that the founders come from the crypto space it is fairly easy for them to understand their target audience. Having said that, they have developed 2 of the main pillars of diversification: $HFL Token and Shuffle Lottery which is fully on-chain.
Their Lottery is something extremely successful with the players and has 0 competition. The fact that the lottery itself is happening live on kick enables users to form a connection with the brand and trust it even more. Also, any player likes the thrill of having a chance to become a millionaire and that is exactly what they do with the lottery.
With the announcement that Shuffle is also launching an on-chain casino, it is clear that they know where the trends are going and try to cater to crypto players.
Hidden T&Cs:
Really, one of the rare occasions where we see a transparent casino that is not trying to seduce you with well copywrited bullshit and hide the deceptive terms in terms and conditions - Truly transparent and honest casino.
Payments & Withdrawals:
Use crypto… all the on/off ramps are expensive, it doesn't make sense to use them, maybe they draw some additional commission from that, so unless it’s a crypto deposit, it’s a rip off.
In terms of crypto and tokens they offer a very good variety of options.
If you don’t have crypto and want to play at shuffle, we recommend you buy crypto on an external platform like Moon Pay.
Conclusion:
Shuffle is one of the most reputable crypto casino, with a consistent growth, yet this casino is not for everyone. It is for players willing to deposit high amounts, who know what they want to play and want to participate in their lottery, maybe even SHFL holders.
