Sometimes, Fourth Time's a Charm
When we first started testing Pin Up, little did we know that it would take so much time before getting any noteworthy (read: positive) results.
One of our newer testers, Johnny, has joined “From the Players, for the Players” and he has a fresh story to share in the community.
Surprisingly, it is entirely different than anything we’ve encountered before with this troubled iGaming brand. Prior to this occasion, we tested this casino a total of three times – you can see how each of the tests went in this detailed report.
This time, Johnny has made a big deposit of $1000 – more than we’ve deposited here previously. The rules stipulate that each time you top up the account, a mandatory 1x rollover or playthrough is required.
The summary of our fourth, and hopefully the last test report at Pin Up Casino is as follows:
- Tester of the day: Johnny
- Date of registering: TUE, November 15th, 2022
- Deposit: $1000 via Skrill on TUE, November 15th, 2022
- KYC: Verified on the same day as registering and depositing (ID, address and so on)
- Withdrawal: Requested and received $696 via Skrill on THU, December 15th
If you have noticed that it took 30 days to complete the test, you’re don’t have to check your eyes. This is the approximate amount of time it took Johnny to complete wagering requirements and request a withdrawal.
Let’s see what slots helped him roll over the deposit and whether there have been any other setbacks during his stay at PinUp.
Registration
The test started early in November 2022 but the official sign-up occured on Tuesday, November 15th. Our tester created his account with PinUp Casino in a couple of steps (just like all the other testers before him) and immediately continued with the next phase.
Depositing and KYC
Our new signee opted for Skrill to make a deposit with PinUp Casino. As you can see on screenshot, Johnny made a larger deposit of $1000 meaning he would have to wager the entire amount before requesting any withdrawals.
Actually, you can get your money without playing it through but there’s a penalty, and you don’t want any fees attached to your money for no particular reason.
Within seconds, our tester’s money was available in his newly created account with the casino. Johnny was ready to play through the deposit and have fun. You can see how it all went in the next chapter.
While we’re on the subject, Johnny’s account was also verified on the same day as registering and depositing. He uploaded an ID document and the usual documents you’ll find in all previous tests.
On this site, there is a minimum deposit of $5, while the maximum is in the range of $3000, as indicated in the cashier.
Gameplay
There are more than 55+ software providers on PinUp. To get his deposit back, or at least a share of it, our tester had to play it through, pronto.
The best way to approach this challenge was to pick only low volatility slots. It took him approximately 30 days to complete the test and withdraw the remaining amount. Part of it at least was due to some personal matters that required his attention – on some days, he didn’t play at all.
Johnny started with Lucky Streak 3, but there were a lot of low volatility slots to check, so we’re just going to bring out the entire list here:
- Buffalo Blox Gigablox, Vikings Go to Valhalla, Demi Gods II, Wild Streak, Pearl Harbor, Rock Bottom, 1429 Uncharted Seas, Holmes and the Stolen Stones, Jackpot Raiders, and Astromaya
Since it took him a while to finally roll over the entire amount of his deposit, we would like to highlight the game that helped the most.
Johnny had fun with Holmes and the Stolen Stones by Yggdrasil Gaming the longest and managed to trigger free spins on many occasions.
After the last check up of wagering requirements, our player’s funds in the range of $696 were finally ready to be pulled out of the casino.
Let’s see how the withdrawal process looked like this time.
Withdrawal
Before we carry on, it is important to keep the track of time. The withdrawal request took place on December 15th, exactly one month after registering, depositing, and playing.
Truth be told, our tester did try to withdraw the remaining balance earlier, but was informed repeatedly through chat that without wagering, this process will incur a transaction fee. According to Pin Up, each player will be charged a fee for not completing the mandatory wagering before the withdrawal. Surprisingly, it didn’t take long before transferring the remaining funds from his casino account to Skrill.
After requesting a payout of $696 on December 15th thanks to playing a ton of low volatility slots, our tester successfully made the withdrawal without any delay.
What’s interesting here is that it instantly arrived to his Skrill account. You can see more on the screenshots below.
Meanwhile, the minimum sum for a single payment at PinUp Casino is still $15. There are also limits per day, per week, and per month, amounting $5000, $15,000, and $45,000, respectively.
Conclusion
It seems that with this casino brand the old saying has a slightly different format: fourth time's a charm. Having in mind the wagering requirements, the playthrough was surprisingly fast and so made it “easy” to receive the withdrawal.
No stalling, delaying or obstructing this time at Pin Up, just good ole wagering or playing through. It takes patience, skills, and intuition though. A little bit of luck is also an important ingredient.
Despite our tester’s success with PinUp, keep in mind that the casino is still on probation. Perhaps this test will be of help for any future endeavors.
Thank you for reading another comprehensive analysis and participating in the project “From the Players, for the Players”.
We will be back with more reports soon.

This program of from the players for the players is quite interesting. It boggles my mind how many different casinos there are out there that you have tested and the many more you will test. Makes me feel like the world is full of online gamblers. As if a lot of people gamble online but do not necessarily share the info...
This program of from the players for the players is quite interesting. It boggles my mind how many different casinos there are out there that you have tested and the many more you will test. Makes me feel like the world is full of online gamblers. As if a lot of people gamble online but do not necessarily share the info about their activity. Closet gamblers maybe one could call such people. I am curious if there has ever been a big win, which you have encountered during any of these tests? 1000 dollars deposit is way more than my little budget could ever afford. Instant withdrawals are nice. I wonder if pinup is available in my country? i probably would not play there though due to their probation status.

That’s a pretty big deposit to make at a casino on the probation list. But luckily for Johnny there where no issues or problems with his deposit or his 696$ withdrawal to Skrill. Thank goodness for that. Very thankful for this fourth installment of the from the players for the players series at pin up casino might have...

I love the casino test reports! My favorite section of the LCB news because of how useful it can be with protecting users from potential scams.
