Platin Casino Review:

Launched in 2012, Platin Casino is owned and operated by Malta-based Company Red Rhino Limited. The founding team of Platin Casino already had extensive experience in the online casino industry in Germany. As such, the casino was first launched in German and later expanded to other regions and added languages such as English, Spanish and Finnish.

What makes Platin Casino stand out from the crowds is the fantastic range of games. Besides the common leading online casino software providers, Platin Casino features unique slots and other games from German land-based casino giant Merkur. You will also find games from other brick-and-mortar casino suppliers such as Bally Wulff and Blueprint.

Entering the UK, Platin Casino was set to provide British players with a thrilling and exciting new way to play the best online casino games that are so popular in German casinos.  Platin Casino places customer care, safety, and security at the head of its operations. So it provides all its players a fun and entertaining casino experience. However, it also emphasizes safety and responsible gambling.

Platin Casino is regulated in several jurisdictions. Its’ parent company is based and licenced in the Isle of Man. While the operating company Red Rhino is regulated by the Malta Gambling Authority (MGA). UK players will be happy to know that for its UK operations, Platin Casino is fully licenced and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).

Platin Casino complies with three of the world’s most respected online-gambling licensing jurisdictions. As per UKGC regulations, all deposited funds are kept in a separate bank account. Meaning that UK player funds are completely separate from any other jurisdiction.

Your personal and payment details are also subject to the strictest UK data protection policies. So they will never be compromised. Platin Casino also has many procedures and policies in place to ensure the safety of UK players. This includes KYC (Know Your Customer) checks, account verification, safe gambling policies and more.

So as far as your safety and security are concerned, you can put your mind at ease when playing at this online casino.

Players can deposit and withdraw money at Platin Casino with a good selection of payment methods. There are e-wallets such as Neteller and Skrill, MasterCard, prepaid methods such as Paysafecard, and even Apple Pay that allows you to pay with your mobile phone.

There is also a range of payment methods that are popular in Germany and other European countries such as Sofort and Trustly. Overall, there is a good choice of payment methods that will suit any UK player.

The minimum amount for deposit and withdrawal for UK players is £5. The maximum withdrawal is £10,000. Platin Casino withdrawal times range from instant payout to 2 working days. This, depending on the payment method selected. These are stated times on the Platin Casino website from when the withdrawal is approved. However, some players we had spoken to said that it took around 5 days to process the withdrawal. We found that to be a bit longer than in other UK casinos.

Platin Casino offers UK players a fantastic welcome bonus of £50 + 50 Free Spins on the Starburst slot machine when you deposit £20. This means that you will deposit £20 and the casino will credit your account with an additional £50, leaving you with £70 to play with. In addition to the bonus money, you will receive 50 Free Spins on Starburst. It is produced by Swedish software provider NetEnt and is considered one of the biggest online slots of all time.

The wagering requirement on the bonus and Free Spins is 30x and needs to be completed within 14 days. This means that you have 2 weeks to play through your bonus money 30 times to be able to withdraw it as cash. The maximum bet using the bonus is £5, and Free Spins are set at £0.10 each. You can withdraw a maximum of £100 in winnings from all bonuses. For more information, check the Terms and Conditions on the Platin Casino website.

Although the wagering requirements aren’t as high as we have seen at other UK casinos, the total bonus amount was a bit low compared to other casinos that offer deposit-match bonuses of £100 and more. Still, it is more than double your money, so we found the bonus to be generous overall.

Platin casino UK’s main offering is slots. Currently, it has over 1200 slot machines on offer, including prominent names such as Book of the Dead, Starburst, Rise of Olympus and more. The casino’s collaboration with prominent software developers such as Microgaming, Play’n Go, Merkur, Bally and NetEnt allows for a varied and innovative selection of games to suit all players.

Progressive slots can be found in the Jackpot section. There isn’t a huge amount of information regarding recent wins or amounts. However, the selection is well varied with some prominent names such as Fortunium Gold: Mega Moolah and Fire Joker.

We would have liked to have seen more progressive games. Especially from a casino provider that leans so heavily towards slots. But with 13 progressive jackpot games on offer, there was still enough jackpot-related excitement to go around.

The live casino section is also extensive with over 160 games. These include roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and other games. We would have liked to have seen a little more variety when it came to roulette with only French and American variations represented. More choices, especially European Roulette titles, would have been a welcome addition.

If you are into classic online table games, there is a very small section of around 10 games. Blackjack has the majority of the coverage, with 4 different variations. But once again it lacks American, European and other options in favour of the Vegas and Atlantic City games. There were also very few roulette tables. We found the table game section to be underwhelming and thought that Platin Casino could have offered more in that area.

Although Platin Casino is home to over 1,200 games, the site is easy to navigate with buttons that separate the games into various categories such as slots, jackpots, live casino, etc. However, when trying to navigate through the slot section of the site, the need for filtering or a search function became apparent. With so many options, scrolling was taking a long time and whenever you click on a game to find out more it would skip us back up to the top which was a little frustrating.

Overall, Platin casino’s design is clean and concise, with the dark-blue background giving an elegant contrast to the bright slots and card games. The buttons were well placed and easy to use. As a whole, we enjoyed our user experience within the site itself.

Platin Casino UK offers a downloadable software version. Opening in a dedicated client gives players a richer experience with better connectivity, faster loading of games, and a desktop shortcut that connects straight to the casino. Both navigation systems are the same, using the same categories, colours and layout.

Platin Casino is built on HTML5 technology. So its main desktop client is fully responsive and can be accessed through any mobile device browser. It is available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices. Platin Casino does not offer a native app, but the mobile-browser version provides a fantastic experience.

With almost the same number of games available on Platin’s mobile casino, you can enjoy over 1,220 slots from anywhere you are. We checked for the more popular games such as Book of Dead and Gonzo’s Quest Megaways, and found that these and all the other great slots are available for mobile play. Table games have the same offering on both mobile and web browsers, and the big live-dealer portfolio is nearly all available on mobile as well.

The mobile user-interface is similar to the desktop one. The look and feel across both remains clean, modern, and well-organized. It is a seamless experience and allows users to play on both with very few issues. Although there is quite a lot of scrolling to do, especially if you are using your smartphone to look for a specific slot out of the hundreds available.

For existing players, Platin Casino offers two additional bonuses. The first is a £5 bonus every Friday. The wagering requirements are slightly higher than the welcome bonus at 35x. And there are some restrictions around which slots are eligible to play with the bonus. We found it strange that returning players needed to incur higher wager requirements than newbies.

Once again, the maximum stake with this bonus is £5 and the bonus wins are capped at £100. However as the only requirement is to deposit £10 or more on a Friday, it is still a nice way to greet the weekend.

The second promotion is offered with a popular European payment method. Platin casino offers a £5 bonus if players deposit £10 or more via Trustly. The good thing about this bonus is there are no wagering requirements. This means that £5 will be credited towards the account as cash. With no other restriction other than using Trustly, this might be a good option for those who were already considering depositing £10 and want to try to popular payment method.

All in all, Platin Casino promotions are smaller than we have seen on other casino websites. However with a very small deposit required on one, and no wagering requirements on the other – these are still great little promotions.
