What's up with the copy-paste culture adopted by BetOnline. It was a stable two-brand, twin setup kind of a thing along with its sister site SportsBetting.ag, beginning from its infancy till a few odd years ago. Then it literally catapulted out four additional casino sites like Super Slots, Wild Casino, High Roller Casino, and now its most recent incarnation the Payday Casino. From the looks of it, I don't think the buck would stop here.

Personally, I'm not fond of the name. Let's be frank, it's ghettoish-sounding. No disrespect to the people who're in a financial jam and depend on payday loans to make rent. I'm just oblivious to the concept of the brand image this site is trying to render. Is it for the addiction-prone who go broke every month trying to gamble away their salaries and then beg payday loan sharks for mercy, or is it the brain fart of a SpongeBob SquarePants sitting in an executive chair, wanting this site to dish out a banal-cum-catchy vibe. I don't know. BetOnline's got billions in the bank, perhaps it was an idea of an in-house gaming psychologist, who convinced the upper management, that it would enlarge - after reading the word, payday - some congeniality metric in the minds of certified degenerates with credit-card-heavy wallets.

But what's in a name? And I'm sure you aren't still going through this page for this noise, either. What you really want to know is if Payday Casino is legit, authentic and "cool-enough" for your attention. Well, it is.

Now that's out of the way, what next. Hmm, nothing. Yes, not a dicky bird. It's a sister of BetOnline's other sites; has zilch of a personality to show off for glamour. Its sparkle isn't unique. Ain't even got a nice dress to impress.

The best way to look at Payday Casino is through the lens of choice. If you're new, go ahead and make my day, sign up, I will earn a few dollars off you and in case you're a regular, take it as a one more new online casino, waiting for you to empty your pockets.

I wouldn't end this piece without going through all the basics. I mean, I have to. It's how it works.

The igaming companies like Realtime Gaming with slots like the Caesar's Empire that have an RTP of 97%; BetSoft with titles like the Dragon Kings with 95.20% RTP; Rival with games like One Million Reels BC with a the Return to Player at 90.6%; among others are what you get to enjoy.

They've got a $6,000 + 150 free spins welcome bonus longing to give you a hug. Other promotions - that tend to change with the seasons - a $4k playing money + 50 spins on crypto deposits and also a 10% cashback every Monday, if you like to dabble in blackjack.

I did email their support twice - one for pre-signup questions, the other related to withdrawal of funds - just to get a feel of the hoopla. The pre-signup one got a response in under one hour. I think it was 48 minutes precisely. The one around technical support took about 6 hours to reply. Not bad, but could have been better, considering they don't lack the human resource to speed things up. Can't say much for others, but I do give them 8 out 10 for customer service.

Deposits can be made through credit cards, debit cards, e-wallets and of course through cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Tether and Ethereum. If you can do crypto, go for it, because it will save you a ton on the card processing fees, which can hit up to 7.5%. Minimum amount required to start a new account is only $20.

I withdrew about $1200 without any issues. The whole process took about a day or so. The delay was due to KYC, which needs to be done. Very basic though. Overall, I would give them a grade A for how professionally everything was taken care of. Their maximum withdrawal per transaction is up to $500K, which is extremely good, for me at least, having dealt with so many bad apples in the industry.

Forget about the gambling license. Payday Casino doesn't have one. I mean, they don't need one. Anyone who lives in the US, and has ever bet on sports in the past two decades, knows what BetOnline is - they got licenses in Costa Rica and Curacao - would just calm down knowing they're in safe hands. Your deposits are completely secured. The games are fair. Their entire appeal can be trusted. Is that enough, or should I carry on?

Right, so another question that arises is, whom to sign up with. If you're into sports betting, go for BetOnline, else Payday.

By the way, remember that its official URL is PaydayCasino.ag. It's an offshore betting site, which makes it an offshore entity, and hence has no restrictions either on the size of the bets it can take the risks for, or the places where it can accept new clients from. Doesn't matter where you live; the US, France, Germany or the planet Mars; all people over the age of 18 are accepted.

Other than the fact that it's made up of the same genetics as Super Slots and Wild Casino, and that it's got a streetish name, there's nothing inherently wrong with Payday Casino. The people behind it know what they're doing. But, if you still got that little iffy feeling tickling your head, browse its cousin sites like Slots.lv, Cafe Casino, and Ignition Casino, run by Bovada, one of the most well-groomed and reliable companies in the world of offshore gambling. Still doesn't click you? there's always the legal destinations like FanDuel and DraftKings.

Payday Casino has a tough road ahead, if it wants to carve out a space for itself, without the genuine support and the mighty strength accorded to it by BetOnline. Now whether, it's able find its shine and glory, or forever be doomed to the dustbin of history, is anyone's guess.

A word from the author:

To make this review fair, transparent and to remove any sponsorship bias, I allocated anywhere between $500 (for casual betting) to $25,000 (for evaluating the quality of the high-roller gambling services) out of my own pocket for testing the browser-based platform and the app (where available) of this betting site.

• This money was spent on online casino games and sports betting, depending on what the place is primarily known for. For example, certain brands only cater to slots, while others are predominantly sportsbooks.
• My tests involved all the processes, such as initial deposit and accepting welcome bonuses, KYC, an actual experience of playing the games, and finally withdrawing my winnings, if any.
