Bitcoin Pokies in Australia
Most people come to our casino for the online pokies—and there are many. These games are easy to play and lots of fun, especially when you find one that really connects with your style. There are so many different ways to experience the pokies here, whether you’re into mega jackpots or themed storylines.
Online pokies are even more fun when you use Bitcoin to fund your bankroll. Bitcoin gets you bigger match bonuses with our promotions, faster transactions with your online account, and the same great selection of online pokies that you’re used to seeing at Joe Fortune. The entire Joe Fortune experience, from first deposit to final withdrawal is superior when you use Bitcoin as a transaction method.
And it’s not just Bitcoin anymore. Since the original cryptocurrency debuted over 10 years ago, many others have followed in its path. We support only the biggest and most established currencies on the market, including Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and USD Tether, among others. Anytime you see Joe Fortune promotions that target Bitcoin casino players, you can be sure that these other cryptocurrencies qualify as well. A Bitcoin pokie is a crypto pokie at Joe Fortune.
To use cryptocurrency, there are a couple of initial steps that you need to take. First, you must have a digital wallet downloaded onto your phone; there are alternative ones that are either web-based or hardware, but for the casual casino player, an app downloaded onto your phone is sufficient.
Second, you must have an account registered at a regulated cryptocurrency exchange. The wallet enables you to send and receive crypto on the web, while the exchange lets you buy and sell crypto at market value. Many apps offer both services combined in one, which streamlines the process. Although the first cryptocurrency transaction might feel foreign, once you do it a couple of times, it becomes quick and easy.
Playing in our casino with crypto is even easier. When a crypto deposit reaches your Joe Fortune account, we switch it to Australian dollars automatically. We’re an Australian-based online casino, so being able to bet in Australian dollars simplifies the betting experience. On top of that, cryptocurrencies can experience market swings if left in an account too long, so converting a deposit to Australian dollars protects from that possibility. You can think of crypto as a means of moving money in and out of your account as efficiently as possible.
How to play crypto pokies at Joe Fortune?
Crypto casino players can rejoice: all of the pokies in our online casino are compatible with not just Bitcoin, but six different cryptocurrencies. You can bring your crypto, play the games, and keep the payouts. We have perfected the crypto casino experience here and believe that it’s the best conduit for online transactions.
Upon deposit at Joe Fortune, your crypto funds convert automatically to the Australian dollar, making it possible to play all of the games in our casino with ease. Whether you want to play online pokies, Bitcoin blackjack, or Bitcoin roulette—it’s all possible.
In order to play our games with cryptocurrency as a deposit, you need to have an account set up here. Registration is easy; our “Join” button brings up the form that you need to fill out to become a Joe Fortune player. As part of the registration, your mobile number will be verified. When your account is ready, you can deposit with cryptocurrency and start playing our online pokies immediately.
At some point, you’ll want to withdraw from your account balance. You can withdraw with the same cryptocurrency you deposited with, if you’d like, or choose a different withdrawal option altogether. Just pick out your preferred withdrawal option from the list that appears on your request, and once the request is authorized on our end, we’ll send through your payment. If you requested to be paid with crypto, it’ll go straight to your digital wallet.
Joe Fortune is available on all platforms: we are a mobile casino with a pokies app, as well as one of the first Telegram casinos in Australia. And if you like it more traditional, you can play on desktop too!
Why play pokies with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at Joe Fortune?
You may wonder what’s the point of using cryptocurrency if we convert it to Australian dollars when it hits your Joe Fortune account. That’s a fair question with a simple answer: the benefits of using crypto for your transactions are massive. First and foremost, transactions are fast, cheap and predictable with crypto. Instead of waiting for a couple of weeks for a cheque to be delivered to your doorstep, you can be paid almost instantly with crypto, after your withdrawal request is authorized.
The cost of transactions is also a significant consideration for anyone who’s ever been dinged with cash advance fees from their credit card issuer. We don’t charge anything on our end for depositing funds, and the fees for processing crypto transactions on the blockchain are nominal, especially if you go with fast coins like Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin. Slots don’t change based on the currency you choose.
Another problem that can arise with credit cards are blocked transactions. Because Bitcoin is de-centralized, there are no financial institutions determining whether or not to authorize a requested transaction. Transactions are simply cued up on the blockchain and processed by minors for a nominal fee.
One final compelling reason many people use Bitcoin here is for the extra bonus cash that it gets you. Free money flows faster when Bitcoin’s involved, which we’ll discuss in the next section.
Welcome bonus if you use crypto at Joe Fortune
Here at Joe Fortune, our welcome bonus comes in two sizes: big and supersize. The big bonus is for new players who deposit with card, while the supersize bonus is for new players who deposit with cryptocurrency. Either way, up to $5,000 can be claimed from the bonus.
The welcome bonus is a series of match bonuses that can be applied to a new member’s first five deposits. With crypto deposits, the match is 150% for the five deposits. Meanwhile, card deposits get a 100% match. It’s clear which option gets you better value.
What are the Bitcoin pokies you can play at Joe Fortune?
If you’re here for the Bitcoin slots, you’re going to have a ton of fun. On our Online Pokies page, you’ll see the entire roster of games, which runs in the hundreds. Unless you know what you want to play, you can organize the results based on the type of pokie that you’re looking for. Bonus Buy, Progressives, Ways Pays, Video Pokies, 3D Slots, 3-Reels, and 5-Reels are all filters at the top of the Pokie page. We’ll explain the differences between these categories.
Bonus Buy Pokies
Bonus Buy slots have an innovative feature that lets you buy a bonus round in the game. If you’re playing a game with a particularly intriguing bonus round and haven’t been able to trigger it through standard gameplay, you’ll appreciate the “Buy” option that’s built in.
Progressive Pokies
Progressive jackpot pokies have progressive jackpots included in them; these pots of cash grow every time someone plays the game and then shell out to some lucky player. Afterwards, the jackpot resets.
Ways Pays Pokies
‘Ways Pays’ is a term for pokies that don’t have paylines dictating the winning pathways that matching icons must follow to be considered a win. With Ways Pays pokies, matches simply need to land on back-to-back reels, usually starting on the first reel, to be considered a win.
Video Slots
Video slots have excellent animations built in that make the storyline even more compelling.
3D Slots
3D Slots have exceptional graphics that look like they’re popping out of the screen. No funky 3D glasses required.
3- and 5-Reel Pokies
Lastly, 3-reel pokies and 5-reel pokies have either three reels or five reels spinning round. The more reels included, the more complex the pokie experience can be.
Other cryptocurrencies you can play pokies with at Joe Fortune
As mentioned, Joe Fortune supports more cryptocurrencies than just Bitcoin (BTC). For those who prefer the fastest possible transactions at rock-bottom prices, there’s Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Litecoin (LTC); these are designed for quick daily transactions. We also support Ethereum (ETH)—the cryptocurrency that’s right behind Bitcoin for market cap, and supports NFTs. Lastly, USD Tether (USDT) is a good option for people who like the security of an asset-backed stablecoin; for every dollar of Tether, there’s a dollar in the reserve. For that reason, Tether doesn’t experience the same volatility as the other cryptocurrencies on the market.
