Silver Oak Casino

Silver Oak Casino was established in 2008 and is licensed in Costa Rica.  The site permits US players, which at first glance may make it seem a desirable place to call home.  However, there are other unfortunate facts that may deter you from doing so – see Player Warning.

This Casino has recieved considerable negative press in the past due to its purchase the player database from an infamous site, Crystal Palace, following the death of its owner, Warren Cloud. Player discreation is advised! 

Silver Oak Casino runs on Real Time Gaming software, which is definitely one of the frontrunners in the industry.  This sophisticated software offers exceptionally clear graphics, and excellent sound.

The casino offers more than 130 games.  These include popular Table Games such as Blackjack, Texas Hold’em Poker, Let ‘Em Ride, Baccarat, Pai Gow Poker, Red Dog, Vegas Three Card rummy and War.  They also have slots, Video Slots, Video Poker and Specialty Games such as Craps, Roulette, Keno, Sic Bo, Bonus Bingo and Scratch Cards.

The casino offers a massive Welcome Bonus, at 100% match up to 1000 for the first ten – yes TEN deposits.  But it doesn’t stop there – they also have seasonal promotions, “crazy days” promotions offering a variety of ongoing daily bonuses, a monthly 10K draw and Cash-Back bonuses.

Be sure to read the Player Warning above, and if you still decide to play here, educate yourself to the best of your ability to the bonus’s Terms and Conditions before committing to anything.  All casinos have wagering requirements attached to bonuses, and many permit only a few games toward meeting such requirements.  It is crucial to be an educated consumer to avoid disappointment when it comes to withdrawing your winnings later on.

Silver Oak Casino has a FAQ page on its site, but it is not overly comprehensive.  If the answer you are searching for cannot be found there, they do offer Live Chat directly from the website 24 hours a day.  They also have a toll free phone number for American and Canadian players, and list several email addresses on the “contact us” page as well.

The Privacy page on this website takes the cake for being the most unprofessional we have seen.  It begins with a poorly written paragraph that repeats itself, stating: “It’s long has a lot of legal terms in there and what it really says is that we respect your privacy.”

The “lengthy” page then gets into how it protects its clients, and whereas most sites guarantee your personal information will not be shared, rented or sold to third parties, this site lists in which cases your information may indeed be shared.  Under the “security” heading, they state they have implemented suitable security measures, but do not state what these are, such as the now standardized 128-bit Encryption technology.  Please see our Player Warning here as one word sums up this site: shady.
