Silver Oak Casino is a Real Time Gaming powered casino accepting US players, boasting an impressive website and a commitment to 24/7 customer service. Unfortunately for Silver Oak, it appears to have purchased the assets (i.e. player database) of, and subsequently re-branded the notorious Crystal Palace clip joint after the death of its owner Warren Cloud. We say unfortunately because while the new management may indeed be whiter than white, they have bought for themselves possibly the worst reputation amongst online casinos today. Nevertheless, we took a look at what Silver Oak has to offer for prospective players.
Good first impressions
Credit where it is due - the Silver Oak designers have done a great job with the casino's website. A sharp design that leaves behind the amateurish themes of some of the older casinos, Silver Oak takes its customers on a journey though its casino rooms and gaming tables. The site is not only attractive but also highly practical in terms of its layout and options, as well as in what it has to offer; for example casino news which includes strategy articles and information bulletins, the casino resources and its directory, and a useful games finder facility.
Silver Oak software and game selection
As for the games themselves, the Real Time Gaming powered suite consists of around 100 games included amongst them seven different types of blackjack games, a huge choice of slots, largely made up of the RTG bonus heavy Real Series Video Slots, plus a bunch of video pokers including some unusual games such as Mystery Bonus Poker, and then specialty games which include European Slot Poker, American and European Roulettes, Craps, Sic Bo and Scratch Cards. The play of the games is smooth, and the features and graphics are sure to impress. Silver Oak is available only in download format, requiring a windows PC for installation.
A plethora of promotions
As is par for the course with most RTG operations these days, Silver Oak offers a large number of promotional bonus codes for new and existing players - far too many to mention them all here. Briefly, new customers at Silver Oak are rewarded with a $750 bonus over their first two deposits. Both deposits earn a 100% cash match, the first to the value of $300, and the second to the value of $450. Existing players are spoilt for choice - game-specific bonuses for blackjack, slots, or video poker players, weekly bonuses, cash-back promotions plus many more offers are available.
Safety, security, and banking
The overall safety and security of the site is attested to be its software provider Real Time Gaming and it's RNG which is regularly tested by Technical Systems Testing whose certificate can be seen on the site. In terms of protection of data, Silver Oak utilizes Secure Socket Layer technology for securing their transaction server and MD5 encryption technology for data transfer, plus they run a very tight privacy policy. Silver Oak Casino functions in US dollars and payment to your real money account can be done in one of a few ways. Visa and MasterCard, Cash Transfer, and Click2Pay are amongst the most popular methods of payment to the site.
Warning - possibly linked with rogue operators
In our testing of Silver Oak casino we admittedly encountered nothing majorly untoward, save for a very slow withdrawal process that took over two weeks to send us our money, which is frankly not good enough. But it is hard to shake off the unease we feel about the purchase of the player-base of a known rogue operation. After all we have to think that the new operator was fully aware of the reputation of the Crystal Palace group. If not then they either didn't do their due diligence, or they didn't care - not a comforting scenario either way.
We made enquiries directly with Silver Oak about the relationship with the Warren Cloud / Crystal Palace group and were assured that there was nothing more than a purchase of assets from a defunct operator. At face value this is hard to dispute, as their website fails to provide any clues as to the ownership or even the operating jurisdiction of the casino (we have since been tipped that it is Costa Rica), which is in itself not a good sign. However other clues do not sit comfortably with us, such as the association with Chris DeAngelo, a faithful Cloud employee (see contact details at the bottom of buzzword filled press release).
So we have taken the decision to warn players to proceed with caution with Silver Oak. They have offered our players an exclusive no deposit code which is a good way of trying out the casino without risking your own cash. If you have a win, let us know how long it takes to receive your money - anything over two weeks, forget about it and try a known good RTG such as Slots Plus, Rushmore, Cherry Red, or iNetBet which all have the same set of games as Silver Oak and pay you promptly when you win.
