Just tried 88pokies yesterday, here's my honest take
So, I’ve been lurking here for a while but never really posted much. I usually stick to the big crypto casinos because I hate the KYC hassle at regular fiat places, but I got bored of the same old interface last night. I was scrolling through some threads looking for something with decent "pokies" (slots) and decided to try something new.
I was skeptical at first, honestly. You know how it is—half these new sites look like they were built in a basement. But I saw a few people mentioning this one, so I figured I’d toss in a test deposit. I found this link on a forum and clicked through just to see if the registration was a nightmare or not.
To my surprise, it was super quick. I signed up yesterday around 8 PM. Did the basic form filling—email, password, currency. Didn't ask for my life history immediately, which is a massive plus in my book. I decided to drop $50 on slots just to test the waters. Used my card, went through instantly. No fees that I noticed, or at least nothing significant enough to make me mad.
I started playing Wolf Treasure. I know, basic choice, but it’s usually a good benchmark for how "tight" a casino feels. I was betting $0.50 a spin. First 20 spins? Absolute garbage. I think I won maybe $2 back. I was sitting there thinking, "Great, here goes my fifty bucks in ten minutes." My balance dropped to like $28 within the first 15 minutes. It was looking grim.
Then, out of nowhere, I hit the free spins feature. It wasn't a massive win, but it paid out about $45, which put me back in the green. The gameplay itself was smooth. I was playing on my phone while watching Netflix, and the site didn't crash or lag, which happens way too often on other sites I've tried recently. The mobile UI is actually pretty decent, easy to find the deposit button and the games load without that annoying spinning wheel of death.
After that, I switched over to Sun of Egypt. I bumped my bet to $1.00 because I was feeling a bit reckless with the profit. This is where it usually goes wrong, lol. I hovered around the $60-$70 mark for an hour. It was one of those sessions where you don't win big, but you don't lose, just churning. Btw, the game load times were decent. Nothing kills the vibe like waiting 30 seconds for a slot to load, and this was pretty snappy.
I ended up playing until about 11 PM. I managed to peak at $140 at one point but got greedy trying to trigger a bonus buy on a different game and burnt through $40 pretty fast. I decided to call it quits at $100 even.
So, I doubled my money. Can't complain. I put in a withdrawal request this morning. Haven't hit my bank yet, but it's only been a few hours. The verification docs request did come through eventually, but it was standard stuff, nothing weird.
Anyway, if you're looking for a new place to spin, it seems legit so far. Just keep your bets low until you get a feel for the RTP.
