There are plenty of crypto-based casinos and sportsbooks available, which can make finding exactly what you want problematic; so, if you are looking for a one-stop solution with a focus on eSports, then you’ll need to read this Thunderpick review.
There is a generous bonus with options to suit new and more experienced players, a range of markets for sport, casino games- including live options, as well as the biggest range of eSports options we’ve seen. There is also some more information for you if you thought that Thundperpick is Bitcoin only, as many other coins are supported.

Bonus offers are popular with customers and are typically the main reason why players sign up with one operator rather than another (which is why we’re looking at this first). Pretty much all of the best Bitcoin gambling sites have them, but what sets the Thunderpick offer apart from the rest of the pack, is not the size of the bonus, but the flexibility.
Normally the bigger the bonus, the longer the list of wagering requirements, or at least the number of times you need to play through the balance before withdrawing. What we have here is a choice of offers, so you can pick exactly how deep you want to go.
Firstly, there's a 5% deposit match on your first deposit over the equivalent of 1 EUR in your coin of choice, and the reward is limited to 500 EUR. This has a straightforward 2x rollover requirement which won’t intimidate new players and ease them in gently.
If this isn’t enough for you there is a 100% deposit match offer, but this one comes with a 30x rollover and a minimum deposit of 20 EUR equivalent, and a maximum of 200 EUR available. This is more in line with what you might see elsewhere, but it is really the other, smaller Thunderpick bonus that caught our eye, and is one of the reasons why this operator already has a great reputation for bonus offers.
As you read earlier, Thunderpick has a sportsbook, an online casino with live options, and a massive range of eSports options; and we were more than a little concerned that having all of that crammed into one site might make it hard to work with. However, this was not the case at all, and the simple colour scheme and layout made it all very easy.
Finding what you need is almost intuitive, and navigating between sections to find what you want should take you where you need to be in just a few clicks. This is despite all of the options that are available (more on that later), and while this site hasn’t won any awards just yet, you’ll certainly appreciate it, especially if you are new to all of this.
While there isn’t an app available for mobile devices, you can get a web app which is designed to make the whole process smoother for you. This is an added feature as the desktop site worked perfectly well on all devices during this Thunderpick review, with pages loading quickly.
When online casinos boast about being a crypto casino, we have sometimes found that means they just take Bitcoin deposits. On the other hand, the best crypto online casinos take a range of coins and accept only digital currencies as a method of payment.
As you would expect, Thunderpick supports Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin, but also Tether, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Tron, Binance coin and Dogecoin. This is quite a large range, but you can also deposit using Thunderpick gift cards if you wish, as they can be converted to Thundercoins for the purposes of wagering, particularly when it comes to eSports.
Deposit times will vary from 1 confirmation (Bitcoin) to 19 (Tron) and there are no fees. The minimum deposit is their equivalent of 1 EUR in that coin, except for Ethereum where it is 18 EUR. Withdrawals have a processing time of between 5 and 30 minutes, and the minimum you can withdraw is a 10 EUR equivalent. Ethereum is again the exception here with a minimum of 16 EUR, and your maximum withdrawal will vary between coins, with 5000 EUR for Doge, and a much larger 50000 EUR for Bitcoin.
As you have seen, Thunderpick runs a tight ship but, should something go wrong, you are not left hanging. There is live support a single click away in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen, which is the quickest option. For any problems that might need a little more in the way of explanation, there is the email option where you can outline your problem fully.
There is also a rather short FAQ page which will only answer the simplest of problems and really just acts as general information. Overall, this is good for customers, and we didn't see any need for telephone support. If you happen to become a VIP, you will have your own customer manager to sort your problems out a little faster.
With any online casino, crypto or otherwise, you are always going to want to know it is for real before you start sharing data or making a deposit. We can tell you that Thunderpick is fully licensed in Curacao to operate in several territories worldwide, and has geolocation software in place to ensure you can’t access it from a country that is excluded. There is SSL encryption active, so your transactions are safe, so you can approach this operator in the knowledge that these are in place.
While we were carrying out this Thunderpick review to make our own decision, we also checked for user feedback online and found generally positive things said, which reflect our own thoughts that Thunderpick is not a scam.
Many online casinos and sportsbooks have a loyalty and VIP program like the one you may have read about in our Stake review, and there is something similar here too. The VIP situation will be covered next, but when you start playing, you will be able to find what your Thunderpick rank is.
This is based on your activity on the site and starts at Bronze, moves through Silver and Gold then onto Diamond, with Challenger as the top level. This rank defines the number of tickets you get in the various giveaways which have a variety of prizes.
Enough activity there can get you an invite to the VIP club where you get the VIP manager you heard about earlier, as well as some VIP only rewards and benefits, and the higher limits for betting any withdrawals you would expect for the wagering habits that would get you invited to become a VIP player.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are thousands of different games on offer here, so that means there are a large range of providers too. Listing them here will just look like a wall of text, but if you are looking out for names like Big Time Gaming, Pragmatic Play, QuickSpin, Blueprint Gaming, and Evoplay Entertainment, then you won’t be disappointed.
These all load quickly, especially in the web app, and play without any glitches. Despite the huge number of options, finding what you want is easy as they are divided by type and can also be filtered according to factors such as ‘Provider’.
Sometimes when we see an operation boasting thousands of games, what they actually mean is there are a lot of slots. While there are a lot of slots here, (over 2000) there are also more than enough table games to keep anyone happy for a long while, with roulette, blackjack, video poker, craps, baccarat and a few niche games including one with a crashing plane finishing off what is an impressive roster.
There are also over 250 live games of various descriptions, with the main options of roulette, poker and blackjack being represented in various forms. There are also games for Monopoly, and Wheel of fortune fans, but what is available at any one time will depend on when you choose to visit.
In common with other casinos like 20bet Bitcoin, the limits for games are typically displayed when you select the game in question, so you can see where you stand. The RTP is also displayed as well as if there is a demo option. Players do not seem to be limited here either, unless, of course, they choose to limit themselves.
While you might think there is simply too much here for you to ever find what you want the layout makes it easy and the range means that you will rarely be disappointed, The suppliers mean that quality is going to be high, and overall this has everything you need from a first time player to an ‘old hand’ at slots and table games.
From what we have seen in this Thunderpick review, it’s hard to fault what is going on here. We were worried that there would be too much going on, but all of the activity is well separated and easy to get your head around. It’s the same story with the bonus, with two levels that players can pick from depending on how deep they want to go with the wagering requirements.
Overall, this is a very solid operation that will suit crypto players better than many other establishments we have taken a look at recently. For this reason, Thunderpick gets a thumbs up from us, and you should take a look if you are looking for both sports and casino, but especially if your passion is eSports.
