The Best Casino Reviews by Qualified Professionals

Our casino professionals have carefully reviewed all aspects of the casinos we have chosen to represent on Spin Bonus. We use our many years of industry experience to rigorously research each casino before giving you an unbiased opinion about their features. We let you know what is good and what is bad about each casino we review and we only recommend sites that we have tried and tested and meet our strict standards.

Our Mission

Our aim is to ensure that our readers are always fully informed about each casino because when you’re playing for real money it is critical that you enjoy the experience. We try to present our complex casino reviews in an easy format that will give you all the information you need to make an educated decision about where to play and how to find the best casino sites.

Our Casino Review Process

We have a standard operating procedure when writing an online casino review and we take a great number of factors into account. Here is a closer look at what we look at and how we rate the casinos we review.

Our Initial Thoughts

before we dig deep into a casino review we offer our initial thoughts about the casino and the website. Generally, this will just be an overview, If we like the look of the casino and it looks professional etc. As we a familiar with most online casino operators we can often tell at a glance if it is worth doing a full casino review or leaving well alone.

Licencing and Security

No matter how appealing an online casino site maybe we can’t overlook its licensing. We always check the casino is fully licenced with the UK gambling commission before going any further if a casino is not licenced properly we will not entertain it on our site. We only review and list fully licensed and regulated online casinos. We also check that the casino has SSL encryption and data protection in place keeping your information safe from third parties.

Background

Many other casino reviews neglect to check the company behind the casino and its background. We feel this is a very important part of our review process as it can affect your playing experience. Some operators own multiple casinos and if they have been dishonest or had a bad reputation in the past we find out. If we find this is the case with any casino we will highlight it in our review so you know exactly what you’re getting into before signing up for an account.

Sign up Process and Site Features

We always sign up to the casino we are reviewing to test the registration process and how easy it is to complete. before we deposit any funds or play any games we will spend some time browsing the casino site to assess the functions and user experience.

Casino Bonus Review

Now we have a feel for the casino we can check the welcome bonus for generosity and fairness. We know exactly what it takes to make casino bonuses really stand out and we give kudos where it is due or highlight any issues we encounter. When we do a casino bonus review we examine the terms and conditions rigorously and check following

Wagering Requirements

Fair wagering requirements in the bonus terms and conditions are a must. We look for casinos that offer what we consider good value, over the industry standard of 35x – 40x the deposit and bonus amounts.

Cashable Bonuses

A cashable bonus is always better than a non-cashable one when it comes to online casino bonus reviews. We would defiantly not recommend a no-cashable bonus to our visitors as there are many other great casinos out there with much better offers

Maximum Bonus

Max bonus is an important factor to consider when reviewing a casino bonus, we see little point in a big casino bonus if the maximum bonus you can convert to cash is a measly amount. We mark casino sites up that offer a fair max bonus conversion.

Regular Promotions and Loyalty Programs

We check that the bonuses don’t stop after your first deposit, in our casino reviews we evaluate the ongoing promotions and loyalty rewards for existing members.

Customer Service

One of the most important aspects of any casino review is how can you contact customer service. No matter how brilliant or mediocre a casino is, the chances are you will need to contact customer service at some point. We test the customer support options and response times in all our casino reviews.

Responsible Gambling Practice

All reputable online casinos should have a responsible gambling policy, we check such things as reality checks, easy deposit limit controls and problem gambling information is readily available on the website.

Game Selection & Software Providers

Casinos offer games from many different software providers, from big names like Netent and Microgaming to smaller boutique developers such a Rabcat we check the quality of the software is up to scratch and all the games work smoothly. The most common casino games we play and test for our reviews are Blackjack, Roulette and Slots.

Live Casino Review

We check that the casino offers a good selection of games in their live casino section including Live Roulette and Live Blackjack. We also test how smoothly the live dealer software runs and check for delays or glitches, we assess whether the live streams are in good quality HD or 4k. We also check how many different table limit options are available and the number of dealers available. We don’t just look at the traditional table games in our live casino review, we also check the availability of other live games such as live game shows and live wheel spin games

Mobile Casino Review

We test the mobile version of each site to make sure it’s optimised for many different mobile devices and offers a great user experience. We check the mobile casino site works flawlessly on Android, iOS & Windows mobile devices.

Casino App Review

If the casino has a downloadable app we download and test it for stability, speed and ease of use. We also check how many games are available within the app and compare them with the mobile casino site.

Banking Options

We assess all banking options and payment methods in our online casino reviews, there are usually many different options available to players for both deposits and withdrawals. We have tested many casino banking methods and know exactly which are the safest and easiest methods to use.

Deposit Options

We review the casino deposit options available to the customers, this includes which deposit methods are available, how much can be deposited with each method & any limits or restrictions that apply.

Withdrawal Options

We check all withdrawal options available and compare the timeframes and costs of each. We then record our findings in an easy to read table for our visitors.

Rate & Summarise

We summarise our findings and provide a quick snapshot of each casino site we review, we rate the casinos using a 5-star system and list the pros and cons. We also include screenshots from each casino so our users can get a better idea of what to expect and make an informed decision before signing up.
