Available in over 225 countries and territories worldwide, MiFinity describes itself as the intelligent way to spend, send and receive money. Determined to become a leader in the online payment sector, it is already used in multiple sectors, such as travel, retail banking, airlines, insurance, gaming, construction, and education.
That’s precisely what inspired our team gathered in “From the Players for the Players” to delegate a tester to Curacao-licensed Norppa Kasino, one of the operators which support transactions via this payment method. He went through the standard procedure, except registration, as he was already a member of this platform, sharing tons of insightful info with us.
Take a quick look at key points of the tester’s journey:
No identity verification and transaction finalized on the same day without fees is the scenario any player could wish for. Yet, was everything as smooth as it seems at the first glance? Join us for the full report on Norppa Kasino and find out!
Loaded with all the best slot and live casino games, non-US-friendly Norppa Kasino presents itself as an online casino custom-made for the Finnish nature and character. The operator is teamed up with renowned studios such as Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Big Time Gaming, and Nolimit City, which only confirm that its catalog is highly-diversified.
In terms of promotions and bonuses, players can receive a valuable Welcome offer on their initial deposit, claim some interesting daily offers or take part in monthly tournaments. Exploring the website, visitors have the opportunity to meet Onni, a Saimaa ringed seal, which is the operator’s mascot.
Our tester wasn’t required to register for the purpose of this test, as he was already a member. The registration process itself is maximally simplified, requiring players to enter their e-mail addresses, set logins, and confirm details.
Being a member, our tester just logged in and went on to fund the account immediately. On December 8, 2022, our tester wanted to deposit EUR 200 using MiFinity, the e-wallet we described in the introductory paragraph.
Worth noting is that the tested hadn’t used this method before, so he needed to register on the MiFinity platform first, fund its MiFinity balance and then transfer the funds to the casino.
As soon as he entered the desired sum, a notification was created, prompting him to confirm the data and continue with the procedure.
The next step was to enter a 6-digit code, which can be provided either via mail or SMS. Our tester opted for mail. As soon as he typed in the code, his MiFinity account was activated.
The next step was to adjust marketing notifications, after which he was redirected to the MiFinity page to log into his account. He answered the security questions and then entered another code, which was sent to his phone number.
The page reloaded, so he logged in once again. He opted to add money to MiFinity via Trustly. This transaction incurred a processing fee of EUR 3.79. Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with the casino itself, it’s a fee imposed by the payment provider.
After pressing the “Make Payment” button, the tester was redirected to the Trustly page. Once again, he received a code (via SMS) to be able to log into his account and finalize the transaction.
Now that the money was on his MiFinity balance, the tester could transfer the funds to the casino and start playing games. He visited the cashier, selected MiFinity from the dropdown menu, and deposited EUR 200. Less than a minute later, the money was visible on his casino balance, with no additional fees charged.
An interesting detail to mention is that during the depositing procedure, our tester received an e-mail from MiFinity which informed him that he’s exceeded the initial transaction limit of EUR 150. Increasing the limits is possible, but it requires additional verification.
Despite that, the tester managed to add EUR 200 to his casino balance using this payment option.
As for the available deposit methods, the operator gives players the chance to fund the account using credit and debit cards, e-wallets, vouchers, and cryptocurrencies. The minimum amount to deposit is EUR 20, while the processing time for all listed methods is instant.
His first choice was Jurassic Park: Gold by Stormcraft Studios (Microgaming), followed by Hacksaw Gaming’s Pug Life which was interrupted by an error. He reloaded the page and returned to the same game, but the error was still present. Namely, the in-game balance displayed EUR 0,00 while the tester actually had funds to play with.
“16.3 In the event a Game is started but miscarries because of a failure of the Website, the Company will refund the amount wagered in the Game to the Player by crediting it to their User Account…”
He exited the game and then ventured into Christmas Bonanza by Big Time Gaming and Retro Tapes Cluster Link by Push Gaming which brought him a win of EUR 26.
Following these, he explored NetEnt’s hit title Dead or Alive, and Net Gains by Relax Gaming. His next choice was Fire in the Hole xBomb, Gemix by Play’n GO, and Lil’ Devil. The next in line was another player’s favorite - Gonzo’s Quest Megaways.
A day later, on December 9, 2022, he launched High Society and Dead or Alive II.
Having played a variety of fun-filled and feature-packed games, the tester decided to withdraw funds on the same day. He made a request to cash out EUR 50 via MiFinity on December 9, 2022.
Upon checking the cashier, he noticed that his request was received. A bit later, he received an SMS that informed him that the payment was successfully finalized, with no fees charged.
According to the Terms, a fee is imposed only if the sum of wagers made since the last deposit is less than 1x the size of that deposit. All deposits need to be wagered at least once.
It’s important to note that the cashout was paid in the name of Doggo Casino. That doesn’t come as a surprise as both Norppa Kasino and the said brand belong to the same casino group with - R&B Innovations N.V.
With regards to cashouts, the available methods are relatively similar to those for deposits- cards, e-wallets, crypto, and bank transfer. Depending on the method of choice, the minimum ranges between EUR 20- EUR 25. The max limit per transaction is EUR 1,999, or EUR 5,000 per 24 hours. Almost all methods are processed instantly except for bank transfer which takes a couple of business days.
“7.17. The Company maintains a maximum exposure policy of €250,000 (EUR). This provision does not apply to any Jackpot Games.
7.18. Without any prejudice to clause 7(17), and according to the Website’s payout limits, in case a Player wins €100,000 (EUR) or more the Company reserves the right to, without interest, divide the payout into installments.”
Our tester wasn’t required to verify his identity on this occasion, but the Terms do say as follows:
“3.3. We are required to identify all Players and verify their identity. Accordingly, We reserve the right to perform background checks on any Player, at all times and for any reason, and We are under no obligation to advise the Player of such an investigation taking place.”
The same paragraph explains which documents may be required for ID verification purposes.
Except for a minor inconvenience with the error in one of the games, which luckily caused no additional problems, Norppa Kasino performed well during our tester’s investigation.
Using MiFinity to deposit and withdraw turned out a great choice, as the procedure is not complicated at all. A thing we’d like to note is that the procedure can be even faster for those who already have a MiFinity account. Our tester needed to register on MiFinity first and then fund his casino balance.
