TigerGaming is a gambling site that’s been chilling in the shadows of its flashier parent, BetOnline, for over two decades.
Let’s unpack this oddball and see what’s cooking beneath its quiet exterior. Spoiler alert: it’s not exactly a Vegas lights show, but it’s got its own peculiar charm.
TigerGaming feels like that cousin who shows up to the family reunion, sits in the corner with a soda, and doesn’t say much.
Meanwhile, BetOnline is out there flexing its muscles as the all-star sibling. Launched way back when flip phones were cool (we’re talking over 20 years ago), TigerGaming has somehow avoided the chopping block. Why? No clue! Maybe BetOnline’s just sentimental, or maybe this site’s secretly raking in cash from some mysterious VIP crew.
High rollers in trench coats, perhaps? I’m imagining a James Bond type placing bets in a dimly lit poker room. Probably not, but it’s fun to dream.
According to Semrush, this site pulls in a measly few thousand visitors a month, mostly from the US and Canada. That’s like the attendance at a middle school talent show. Hardly a roaring crowd. Could it be a hidden gem for a select few big spenders? Or is it just coasting on life support?
Honestly, I’m starting to think BetOnline keeps it around like a pet rock. Low maintenance, zero drama.
Licensing: Curacao’s Finest (or Not)
TigerGaming operates under a Curacao license, which is basically the gambling world’s equivalent of a participation trophy.
Curacao’s a hotspot for betting sites, especially those eyeing markets like India. But here’s the kicker: there’s no buzz about TigerGaming in India. Nada. You’d expect some chatter on X or Reddit if it were secretly huge there, right? Crickets.
Maybe it’s big in Germany instead? Who knows! The site’s so tight-lipped about its audience, it’s like trying to get a secret recipe from a mime.
Their Terms of Service? Barely a whisper. The most I could dig up is that they block sign-ups from a laundry list of countries.
Typical offshore move, but it doesn’t exactly scream “we’re thriving over here!” Still, they’ve got the basics covered: slots, roulette, blackjack, sports betting, and a poker room that seems to be their golden child.
Poker’s the Star, Everything Else Is Backup
Speaking of poker, that’s where TigerGaming struts its stuff. It’s part of the Chico Poker network. And it’s not just a side gig; it’s the main event. The site’s got a vibe that says, “Sure, we’ve got slots, but poker’s why you’re really here.” If you’re a poker nut looking for alternatives, check out Ignition Casino (Bovada’s kid) or Americas Cardroom (<- read my review on it). Both are solid options with a bit more pizzazz. TigerGaming’s poker focus might explain its longevity. Maybe it’s the go-to for a niche crowd who don’t need flashy ads to know where the good tables are.
The rest of the platform? Pretty standard. Live casino action comes courtesy of Visionary iGaming, and slots are powered by Betsoft, with a sprinkle of other providers. Nothing groundbreaking, but it gets the job done. Imagine a reliable old hatchback: it’s not winning any beauty contests, but it’ll take you where you need to go.
Hated On Review Sites; Same Old Reasons
It’s not much of a big deal on sites like Trustpilot. In fact, rated quite low on the scale. Last I checked (4th April 2025); it had a rating of 2.2 out of 5.0 based on 10 user reviews. Here are two of them.
Biggest scam in the whole Poker world. I deposit 25$ and ran it up to 40$. Then my account got banned because I had two accounts (even if hadn’t) and when I wrote the support they told me that there are no funds left. DON’T FALL FOR THIS SCAMMY SITE.
Now here is another, rather bad one from Canada:
I deposited on October 12 2023 $500 CAD to play poker on this website. I used interac etransfer so the funds were removed instantly from my bank. I never got the chips. Contacted customer service spend an hour or more with them trying to get a straight answer and I was not given one and told to wait. Im likely going to be scammed by this company. Want to ensure this doesn’t happened to anyone else. Never had such a bad experience in my entire life with a gaming website. STAY FAR AWAY FROM TIGER GAMING.
Money Moves: Deposits, Withdrawals, and Fees
Let’s talk cash. Deposits start at $25, which is reasonable until you see the 7.5% credit card fee. Ouch! That’s like paying a cover charge to enter a dive bar. Pro tip: skip the sting and use crypto like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Zero fees there, and you’ll look cooler doing it.
By the way, if you’re into crypto casinos, I did review both Vave and King Billy. Both of these crypto-first casinos can serve as good alternatives, if this place isn’t giving you the feels.
Withdrawals are quick enough that you’re not screaming about it on Trustpilot, which is more than some sites can say. Payouts processed fast? That’s a win in my book.
Bonuses? They’ll toss you up to $3,000 if you’re willing to wrestle with a 40X wagering requirement. Same deal as BetOnline’s other sites like Super Slots or Wild Casino (I played here personally and won and then lost $11K).
Don’t expect a no-deposit freebie, though. This ain’t a charity, folks! If you’re hunting for free cash, you’ll need to sweet-talk someone else.
Support: Bare Bones but Functional
Customer service is about as exciting as a tax form. Email them at support@tigergaming.com or hit up the live chat if you’re feeling chatty. It’s basic, but it works.
They’re not winning any awards for warmth, but they’ll sort you out without making you wait until the cows come home.
The Verdict: A Quiet Survivor
TigerGaming is the gambling world’s equivalent of a tortoise: slow, steady, and somehow still kicking after 20+ years.
It’s not dazzling, it’s not loud, and it’s definitely not the life of the party. But it’s there, plugging along with its poker rooms and Curacao license, quietly doing its thing.
Is it a secret haven for elite bettors? A nostalgic relic BetOnline can’t let go of? Or just a site that’s too stubborn to quit? I’m leaning toward the last one.
In the end, it’s not my circus, not my monkeys.
If BetOnline wants to keep this wallflower alive, more power to ’em. Me? I’ll be over here sipping coffee, wondering why I spent so much time dissecting a site that’s basically the online gambling version of “meh.” Got thoughts? Hit me up!
Otherwise, I’m off to find something shinier to obsess over.
