GemBet

I’m about to make a Gem Bet on Gem.Bet, so let’s hope I win a stack of gems to stick back in the machine in search of still more gems. I know it sounds vaguely like some fantasy RPG tomfoolery because I’m talking about gems here, but that’s just a metaphor, my gambling friends. Like any good online casino, you can win real money. Frankly, I wouldn’t even be talking about it here on ThePornDude if it didn’t tie in to a real-life vice. This next site’s really fucking hard to jack off to, but at least you can light up those other pleasure centers in your brain with a bit of monetary risk and reward.

Chances are, you’ve already heard about Gem Bet if you’ve been into online gambling for any length of time. They’ve been around for years and they’re one of the most popular Asian internet casinos, with hundreds of thousands of visitors every month. I love the brick-and-mortar casinos as much as the next guy, but I keep getting kicked out for violating the dress codes. One of the immediate appeals of this joint is I can play slots in my underwear without security giving me a hard time yet again, so without any further ado, let’s see what kind of fun they have to offer.

Place a Bet, Win Some Gems

Alright, first things first. I already mentioned that GemBet is an Asian casino. More specifically, they’re based in Singapore, and they aim their services at an audience in Southeast Asia. If you’re outside of that region, you’ll probably get a message saying you’re not allowed to play. While it's possible to connect to the site using a VPN if you’re outside of their preferred region, I didn’t find much chatter online about folks doing that. (I’ve got a whole section of VPN Sites here at ThePornDude if you want to go that route, but I’d probably recommend you just choose a more suitable site off my big list of Betting Sites.)

If you ain’t blocked from the site based on geography, they’ll welcome you with open arms. They gave me a good impression right from jump with a polished and attractive layout. It’s colorful, with clean lines and smooth curves, and typography choices that don’t add any unnecessary clutter. The first thing you’ll see is a bunch of promos sliding across the screen and a live feed of today’s payouts. Before I’d even started poking around, I saw people winning hundreds of bucks at a time. One lucky fucker even won $1057 this morning. I like how they show you how much the initial deposit was, so you can get a sense for the real winnings. The most recent winner started with $24, with a payout over two hundo. Nice!

Let’s take a closer look at those promo offers. On any gambling site, Gem.Bet included, I recommend always checking out the full Promotions page instead of just settling for what’s on the front page. Clicking my way through, I found even more bonuses than were listed out front.

For starters, they offer some great welcome bonuses. I know a lot of you hit CTRL+F to find this paragraph, since these are often some of the best perks to get you onboard. You have to choose between Slots, Sports, or Live Casino, so make sure you pick the one you’re going to play with the most. The bonus gives you a 100% bonus on your deposit, up to SGD 500. The minimum deposit is SGD 20, but the bonus is only available once so deposit wisely.

On top of that, Gem Bet offers a constantly shifting variety of promos to keep players interested. Right now, there are a couple Cash Rush promos, a weekly referral bonus, unlimited turnover rebates, weekly rescue bonuses, as well as parachutes for live casino (12%), slots (20%) and sports betting (25%). Like I said, make sure you check out that promo page to see what’s new!

What Kind of Gems Does GemBet Take?

Signup for Gem.Bet is relatively quick and simple. Just fill out the form, give them a phone number and email address and off you go. Then it's just a matter of funding your account so you can get to the really fun stuff. Specifically, I mean betting real money and hopefully winning even more of it back. That’s the dream, anyway.

GemBet offers all kinds of banking methods for deposit and withdrawals. I saw an old review that claimed they only accepted SGD and MYR, but the list was far more inclusive when I was going through the initial deposit process. Since they accept services like Neteller, that means you can also gamble with that crypto you’ve been sitting on. The full list includes the usual VISA and MasterCard, plus Skrill, UOB, DBS, OCBC Bank, Trustly, PayNow and a few more.

And then it’s finally time to play! The row of Popular Games out on the front page ended up leading me to the Slots section. They’ve got a fucking ton of slots from all the major providers. The providers list alone includes 167 developers, like Pragmatic Play, Relax Gaming and NoLimit City. If you’re a regular on any online casino, you’ll feel right at home among these familiar fruit machines, fishing games and wild west shoot-em-up slots.

The full list includes 7308 games, over 3000 of which they’ve filed under Classic Slots. There are also a few dozen lottery and Mega888 games, hundreds of book games, roulette and scratch card, and a bunch of other semi-automated digital gambling extravaganzas. You’ll have to supply your own disorienting carpets, cigarette smoke and hookers.

Things to Do at GemBet (Since You Can’t Jack Off Here)

Slot machines are widely considered to be the most accessible forms of gambling entertainment in any casino, online or otherwise. If you’re into sports, though, you’ll be interested in Gem.Bet’s extensive Live Sports and Sportsbook sections. You can bet on damn near any sport out there, from football and baseball, to tennis, volleyball, e-football and snooker. There’s snooker and bandy, handball and ice hockey, plus esports like Counter-Strike: GO, League of Legends and Valorant.

If you like betting on real-world shit but you ain’t into sports, the Gem Bet Sportsbook does have some interesting options you might want to check out. There’s a whole Politics section and another for TV Shows and Movies. There’s also a Special Bets area where you can wager on who’s going to win an ARIA Award or take home the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year.

Finally, there’s a Live Casino with games from 30 top providers. Again, online gamblers will find this all familiar, since you’ll be playing with the usual suspects, like Evolution Gaming, Creedroomz and Onair. Those 30 providers offer up nearly 300 different games, so you’ve got plenty of different ways to risk your paycheck or the kids’ college fund.

Gem.Bet has got all the expected classic casino games, from 66 variations of live blackjack, to a few dozen live baccarat and live roulette games. They’ve got live poker and dice, plus games like Fan Tan, Dragon Tiger ROBA, Crazy Coin Flip and a lot more. I usually like to meander from game to game, seeing where the mood takes me and where I feel like the winnings are. Maybe I’ll start with Holdem Texas, move along to PowerUP Roulette and then get wild with Crazy Time. Personally, I also like any game with a sexy lady as the dealer.

It ain’t too difficult to see why Gem Bet has been so popular for so long. I’d say the main perk is just the sheer amount of games and the quick accessibility, which lets you deposit some funds and get right into the action. They obviously ain’t the only online casino and sportsbook with a nice selection of games, which may be why they offer such an attractive range of promo offers. The fat welcome bonus alone is going to be enough to make a lot of you deviates switch over to GemBet from the other sites, and honestly? I’d recommend cashing in on the bonus even if you ain’t going to make this your main casino.
