Shark Casino Review

Bonuses & Promotions
All of Shark Casino's promotions, regardless of how creative in their presentation, are deposit bonuses. Their 200% signup bonus with "special gift" lets you turn $25 into $75. Then there's the Late Night Shark with Kemp Leno (in an attempt to woo Tonight Show fans?) which offers an ongoing deposit bonus of 75% up to $75. The Back to School-themed School Time Scavenger Hunt (to woo students?) offers 10 more, one-time deposit bonuses). 5 more, tiered, deposit bonuses are combined with cashback bonuses for extra incentive, the most interesting of which is "Fully Insured" giving 5% on any and all deposits of $50-$1000 with no wager requirements for cashout.

Software & Graphics
SharkCasino uses RealTime Gaming software, same as Sci-Fi Casino and Crystal Palace Casino, to run its games. Real Time Gaming does its best to create a high-velocity gaming experience, boasting a pace of 7 hands per minute. Real Time Gaming won Gambling Online Magazine's 2004 award for "Best New Casino Software".

Games
Shark Casino is a relatively small casino, with just over 60 games, and yet they have a few offerings not found at most online casinos, namely: multi-player poker, Bingo Blast, and Europena Slot Poker. Then they have the usual standards like Blackjack, Keno, both European and American Roulette, Craps, Baccarat, War and most of the expected card games. And they have 5 slot machines, and 16 video poker games.

Payouts, Cashouts & Security
Independent software engineers from Princeton University have tested and approved of the fairness of Real Time Gaming's random number generator. The casino uses 128-bit SSL encryption security for your utmost protection. Their payout percentages are decent: better than land-based casinos but not as great as some of their online competitors. First Global Consulting, a London-based e-Cash subsidiary, handles all of Shark Casino's financial transactions. They may request a faxback form, a rendered form, and photocopy of ID to verify identity before some cashouts.

Customer Support
The SharkCasino help team (I know, sounds funny, doesn't it?) can be reached through live web chat, my preferred method, toll-free telephone or email. As for email, you can contact support directly or send a query form with a phone number for someone to call you back.
