Bonus Rules *
The following games are not accepted towards the wagering requirement: Baccarat, SicBo, Red Dog, all Blackjack game variations, all Poker variation games, Craps and all Roulette games. If you wish to play the excluded games the bonus must be removed from your account before beginning play.

The no-deposit bonus has a 15X wagering requirement. As such for a $15 no deposit bonus a player must wager $225 before being able to cash out.

Deposit related bonuses must wager 15X the bonus plus deposit amount before being allowed to cash out. So your requirements for the deposit bonus would be as follows: $50 deposit + $85 bonus = $135 * 15X = $2025 wagering requirement.

Danish players must wager 30X the deposit plus bonus amount. For the first deposit bonus players from Denmark must wager $4050 before being eligible for cash-out.

Customer Support
Players can contact Piggs Peak toll free from the USA, Canada, UK, or Australia. There is a number for customer service for people outside of these areas, but it costs. Players from the USA can write them via Fax toll free as well. Live chat is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. However, if you prefer email they promise to answer within 2 hours of receiving your email.

Games
Piggs Peak gives their players the option to choose between playing in their browser and downloading the casino. Both are powered by Microgaming, so the player is assured that the games will have revolutionary graphics and smooth play. Microgaming is one of the oldest casino software providers in the industry and has one of the widest selections of games online today. Review your game history by clicking on the Playcheck red checkmark in the upper right corner of the menu. All of the important details regarding a game are clearly listed when you scroll over it on the menu (for the download version).

Selection of Browser games:
• 51 Slots games
• 15 Video Poker games
• 23 Table games (including 7 versions of Blackjack)
• 7 Progressive Slots

The download casino has over 100 games to choose from, including live poker. Piggs Peak is affiliated with Poker 333 which is part of Prima Poker. Prima Poker allows players from different casinos to play live against each other. The casino themselves handle the financial end of the deal while Prima Poker handles the games. This is a nice addition to the Microgaming software which doesn't offer live games.

Credibility
Piggs Peak's games are reviewed monthly by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. The casinos games have been independently tested since September 2000. They are members of the IGC (Interactive Gaming Council) and use Strongmare Ltd and Proc-Cyber Services for fraud prevention in banking.

Piggs Peak accepts Euro(€), Pound(£), US Dollar($)deposits, and Rands (Swaziland). The minimum deposit is $25. Players can deposit via Neteller, FirePay, Citadel, Click2Pay, or credit card.

Players can receive their withdrawals via check, NETeller, wire transfer, and ACH. Minimum cash-out is $25. Checks, ACH, and wire transfer withdrawals have a minimum of $50. Checks come with a $35 courier service charge. Wire transfers come with a $20 fee. Neteller is free, but you must deposit via Neteller to take advantage of this option.

Documentation is required for first cash-outs and may be required for additional cash-out requests. Generally the following information is required before your cash-out will be approved: copy of your driver’s license, utility bill, and a copy of the credit card used for deposits.

Message Boards Rumors *
Piggs Peak got a little bit of razzing from the message boards. Mainly because their bonuses are for slots and keno only but the way it's worded it may take awhile to figure that out. The other thing mentioned, which I also found funny, was how Piggs Peak advertised about making someone a millionaire, however it was in Rands which is equivalent to about 95,000 USD.

Regardless of the wording issues Piggs Peak's reputation is good. Reliable payouts, great games, and nice customer service means this casino has an overall reputation of honesty and reliability.

Personal Conclusion
Piggs Peak is a top notch high class online casino. Their customer service is friendly, knowledgeable and available 24/7. The wagering requirements are fair; however it would be nicer if it were for more than slots and keno. With that said, they are powered by Microgaming which means that the slot games you will be playing to make that wagering requirement will have amazing graphics and fun bonus rounds.

It's a trustworthy casino with a long internet history, well worth the time and money of any player.
