Thunderbolt Casino Bonuses

Speaking of bonuses, Thunderbolt Casino has plenty of them to go around. While they may not always be extremely big, they have clear terms and fair wagering requirements, which make them better than those of many competitors.

Thunderbolt Casino No-Deposit Bonus - First Spins

Aside from the handy Practice Mode that lets you test-drive it, Thunderbolt has another attractive treat for you: a package of no-deposit free spins! Here’s how you can redeem it:

• After registering your account, head over to the Cashier
• Select the “COUPONS” tab and click “ENTER CODE”
• Paste the no-deposit bonus code BEGINNERS-LUCK in the “Coupon Code” field
• Click or tap “Redeem Coupon”
• You get 50 free spins on the Plentiful Treasure slot machine

Play now!

This bonus can only be used once by new players at the Thunderbolt Casino. You’ll have to play through 60 times the initial free spins value in ZAR to clear the bonus. Your cashout from this bonus is limited to 5 times the initial free spins value.

Thunderbolt Casino Welcome Bonus

Thunderbolt has a hefty welcome package for you right from the start. It consists of three deposit matches of increasing percentages and a fourth no-deposit bonus.

To redeem each of these bonuses, you need to head over to the Cashier and paste the bonus codes before making a deposit or find the bonus in your Messages section, and click the bonus codes to automatically insert them in the right field.

Terms and Requirements

Like all casino bonuses, the Thunderbolt Casino welcome package also comes with terms, conditions, and requirements:

• You’ll need to play through the deposit + bonus amount 30 times before you clear the bonus
• You can complete the wagering requirements on Stud Poker, Bingo games, European Slot Poker, Keno, Pai Gow Poker, Scratch Cards and all slots
• Playing excluded games before you complete the wagering requirements will void any bonus you received
• For the no-deposit portion of the welcome bonus, you’ll have to play through the bonus amount 60 times to clear it - the same game restrictions apply
• The maximum cashout limit for a no-deposit bonus is 5 times the bonus amount. E.g. if you get R10 as a bonus, you’ll be able to cash out not more than R50.
• All no-deposit bonuses must be redeemed within one month of receiving them.

Thunderbolt Casino Permanent Bonuses

There are plenty of bonuses you can redeem each month - or even each week - at Thunderbolt Casino:

You will only be able to redeem this bonus if you have already made a real-money deposit in the current month. The bonus can only be redeemed once. The casino’s general Terms for no-deposit bonuses apply.

Thunderbolt Casino Lobby Jackpot

One of the first things you’ll see when you log into your Thunderbolt Casino account is the Lobby Jackpot with the day’s jackpot amount. This is a site-wide jackpot that is randomly awarded to any participating player at any time. This means that you can win it instantly no matter which slot machine to play. 

To have a chance to win the day’s prize pool, you’ll need to:

• Opt into the Lobby Jackpot
• As long as you participate, every spin on every slot machine you play will deduct an extra R0.8 from your real money balance
• You have a chance to win the prize pool every single day
• You can opt out at any moment
• Only real money can be used to participate in the daily jackpot draw, not bonus funds!

To opt into the Lobby Jackpot, you simply need to log into your Thunderbolt Casino account, find the banner on the top of the screen, and click or tap “Opt-in”. 

Daily Cashbacks

If you deposit without redeeming a bonus, you’re still in for a treat: each day, you can claim a 25% cashback for it. Note that your balance must be under R50 to be able to claim it. 

To claim the cashback, simply contact the Thunderbolt Casino support agent after one or more qualifying deposits.

This cashback offer comes with a 10x playthrough requirement that can be completed on Slots, Keno, Bingo, and Scratch Cards.

Comp Points and VIP Benefits

For every cent - or better said, every R10 - you spend at Thunderbolt Casino you get complimentary (comp) points. These comp points can later be redeemed for bonuses and other benefits.

• You generate 1 comp point for every R10 you spend
• Thunderbolt Casino has special games which generate Double Comps (1 point for every R5 spent)
• You need to have at least 100 comp points to redeem them
• Each month, there is a Game of the Month that’s worth double comp points for the entire month

Depending on how many comp points you generate each month, you can be included in various tiers. VIP players are the top tier, with extra benefits:

• Higher withdrawal limits
• 40% cashback instead of 25%
• R1,000 instead of R250 as a monthly treat
• More comp points for their spending

You can ask your Thunderbolt support representative about VIP levels and benefits.

Thunderbolt Casino registration

Registering an account at Thunderbolt is a quick and simple process. You must fill out a form with your name, address, phone number, and email and set a username and password. The casino will not verify your email or phone number - at least not for now. 

As soon as you’re done with the registration process, you’ll have instant access to Thunderbolt Casino’s games, settings, and most importantly the Cashier.

Thunderbolt Casino Login

Logging into your Thunderbolt account is an equally simple process. You just click or tap the green “LOGIN” button in the top right corner of the screen, enter your username and password, and you’re done. Tapping “Login” will take you to the “real-money” part of the casino, while choosing “Practice Mode” will take you to a section where you can test-drive the casino risk-free.

Practice Mode

If you are new to online casinos or just want to get familiar with the games and interface of Thunderbolt Casino without taking any risks, you can log in to your account in Practice Mode. Here, you’ll get free credit worth R1,000 that you can use to play all games available in the casino’s library. 

Just to make it clear: your cash and winnings in Practice Mode are for fun only! You can’t cash out or redeem bonuses in this area!

While in Practice Mode, you can easily switch to “real money mode” by simply tapping the “Play for Real” button in the top right corner of the screen.

Thunderbolt Casino Payment Methods

Thunderbolt Casino accepts deposits and withdrawal requests in South African Rands. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support some of the most popular South African payment methods - for example, it lacks support for prepaid vouchers. What it has, in turn, is support for cryptocurrency deposits and a few perks for using them.

Deposit Methods

Making deposits to your Thunderbolt account is a quick and easy process - depending on the payment method you choose. Note that for card payments, you’ll need to verify your payment method.

Occasionally, you’ll stumble upon special offers tied to using some of these deposit methods. At the time of writing, for example, you have special offers for Litecoin and Cash2Code deposits that come with a hefty deposit match and free spins.

Withdrawal Methods

Unfortunately, the number of withdrawal methods available at Thunderbolt Casino is limited to just a handful. At the time of writing, the Cashier only shows three available payment methods:

Note that for new players, withdrawals are limited to R25,000 a week. Your withdrawal limit can be raised depending on your loyalty / VIP level. You can find out more about this possibility by contacting the Thunderbolt support.

Account Verification

If you plan to make a deposit using a new credit or debit card or you want your deposit limits raised, you will need to verify your payment method first. Also, before your first withdrawal, you will need to complete a KYC verification.

To complete the verification, you will need to confirm that you are who you claim to be - or, in more technical terms, that the personal information you provided when you registered your account is accurate. 

You can verify your account with Thunderbolt Casino by submitting the following documents via email to documents@thunderboltcasino.com:

• A clear, colour picture of your government-issued photo ID. It can be a National Identity Card, a driver’s license, or your passport. The document should clearly show your name and picture.
• Proof of address in the form of a utility bill or a bank statement. It has to be a coloured copy of the document and it can’t be older than 90 days
• If you used cryptocurrency to make deposits and want to withdraw to your crypto wallet, you’ll need to submit a selfie photo of your government-issued photo ID that you hold next to your face. 
• If you used a credit or debit card to make a deposit, the casino can ask for a photo of the card, front and back. While this is not specified, casinos accept pictures with the security code covered.
• If you used an e-wallet to make a deposit, the casino can ask for a screenshot of the e-wallet account showing your registration information

Thunderbolt Casino Games

Thunderbolt Casino has a nice collection of games - its only problem is that the games are only from a single developer, SpinLogic. This doesn’t make them any less entertaining. What it lacks, in turn, is variety. Thunderbolt, just like its sister casino Springbok, has a collection of 241 RNG-powered casino games, covering everything from slot machines to table games, keno, roulette, and video poker.

Slots

There are 185 video slot machines available at Thunderbolt. Most of them - 167 at the time of writing - are 5-reel video slot machines, but you can find classic 3-reel slots and modern 6-reel variants among them. A couple of them are special because of their features, like floating symbols and two-way paylines. 

Jackpots

There are five progressive jackpot slots available at Thunderbolt Casino:

• Shopping Spree II (R1.9 million)
• Jackpot Cleopatra’s Gold (R2.14 million)
• Spirit of the Inca (R2.01 million)
• Megasaur (R15.2 million)
• Aztec’s Millions (R20.01 million)

These jackpots are valid at the time of writing but constantly grow as more players spend on these games.

Table Games, Specialty Games, and Video Poker

The selection of table games and other games at Thunderbolt Casino is small but meaningful:

• There are 9 table games available, including blackjack, Caribbean Stud, and Tri Card Poker
• There are 15 video poker games you can play, including Deuces Wild, Aces & Eights, and Jacks or Better
• There are 4 specialty games available, like roulette, Banana Jones or Keno

Thunderbolt Mobile Casino

Thunderbolt doesn’t have a native Android or iOS app. It has a fully smartphone-compatible website that you can access from your mobile browser. 

To make it easier to access, you can always add a shortcut to the casino to your phone’s home screen:

• Chrome and Edge: Go to the browser’s hamburger menu (☰), and select “Add to Home Screen”
• Safari: Navigate to the Tusk Casino website, tap “Sharing”, then “Add to Home Screen”
• DuckDuckGo and Firefox: Open the browser’s menu (☰) and tap “Add to Home Screen”

Thunderbolt Casino Terms

There are a few things that we miss in Thunderbolt Casino’s Terms and Conditions, like clear information about VIP levels and the value of free spins included with bonuses. Otherwise, the Terms are clear and cover everything from payment methods to force majeure. We didn’t find anything that would be grounds for concern.

Thunderbolt Casino Safety and Security

Springbok and Thunderbolt are sister casinos, which means that they are likely to operate from the same servers, secured by Cloudflare. The casinos use industry-standard encryption to protect the players’ personal and banking information. The only thing we can complain about is that it doesn’t use two-factor authentication, something that should be standard nowadays.

Thunderbolt Casino User Experience

At first sight, the Thunderbolt Casino lobby looks and feels a bit outdated - at least on desktop computers. It looks much more professional on mobile, which makes us think that it’s a mobile-first design. The overall experience is good, even though the design is very plain and almost minimalistic. All things considered, our experience with Thunderbolt Casino was positive.

Responsible Gaming

Compared to some other casinos, the responsible gaming tools available at Thunderbolt feel insufficient. The tools available are self-exclusion and daily or monthly deposit limits. For both, you need to contact customer support as opposed to some of its competitors, where you can set them right from your account.

There is a self-exclusion form linked from Thunderbolt’s website that you need to complete and submit to activate it. 

Thunderbolt Casino Customer Support and Contact

Thunderbolt has a decent Help section covering all the common questions and issues that may arise. For anything not in there, or if you want to redeem a bonus at Thunderbolt, you can contact the casino through:

• Live chat either with Thunderbot, the casino’s chatbot, or a real customer support assistant
• Phone by requesting a callback via live chat
