Spinit casino review (UK)

Spinit Casino 'gets you off to a spinning start' with a welcome package that includes a 100% deposit bonus up to £100 + 200 Free Spins on Starburst. The welcome bonus is awarded as a deposit match bonus, where Spinit Casino will credit your account with bonus money to match/double your deposit, up to a maximum of £100. In addition to the bonus, you will receive 200 Free Spins on NetEnt's Starburst slot machine.

You will receive the first 20 Free Spins with your deposit and will then receive an additional 20 spins each day for the following 9 days. Each batch of Free Spins is valid for 72 hours from the time of activation.

Both Bonus and Free Spins have wagering requirements of 40x. Note that games contribute differently to wagering requirements as follows:

• Slots and other games: 100%
• Classic Slots: 75%
• Table Games: 10%
• Blackjack Games: 5%

You will need to deposit a minimum of £10 at once to claim the bonus. The maximum bet using bonus funds is £5. There is also a withdrawal limit of £2,000 on bonus money/winnings once the wagering requirements have been completed.

The bonus withdrawal limit, in addition to the wagering requirements, makes the bonus less attractive. Also, it would have been good to offer all 200 Free Spins in one go instead of spreading it over 9 days. Although Starburst is one of the most popular online slots of all times, it's far from being new and exciting. So for a casino that caters to slot players, it would be good to give Free Spins on fresh and more interesting titles.

From the moment you land on the Spinit Casino site, you understand that it's all about the volume of games. It even says on the homepage 'over 1,300' games, and Spinit challenges you to 'spin them all.' To get you straight to work, the Spinit design team put a search box right in the middle of the screen. If you don't have a specific game in mind, you can browse games by categories such as Popular Games, New Games, Video Slots, Jackpot Games, Table Games and many more topics.

I really liked the design because all game tiles display a small icon with the logo of the software developer. I found it very useful and fun to know the game developer right away, instead of waiting for the slot to load to find out.

Slots

With over 1,200 slots from all the top game providers, I had my work cut out for me. I started with a few Video Slots, including Pragmatic Play's Wolf Gold and Great Rhino, two games that feature lucrative drops and wins. The drops didn’t help my bankroll, but I managed to land a few nice wins on the base game, especially with the rhinos. I went on to play SkyWind's Super Lion, Play'n Go's Gemix and Microgaming's Augustus.

Then I took a few spins on Classic Slots like NetEnt's Mega Joker, Play'n Goes Aces of Spades and Lucky Diamonds, and Microgaming's Cash Crazy and Double Whammy. I got lucky with Play’n Go’s Aces of Spades, a great, retro-looking fruit machine. But as fruit machines usually go, the payout provided with a lot of fun and more spins, but still not enough cash to set me for retirement.

Jackpot Slots

Spinit Casino offers a great selection of jackpot games. These include nearly 70 progressive jackpot slots, featuring classics like Microgaming's Mega Moolah and Major Millions and NetEnt's Arabian Nights, Mega Fortune and Divine Fortune. I went on to explore Red Tiger's Dragon's Luck Power Reels and Quick Spin's Dragon Chase. If you are looking for new jackpot slots or any slots for that matter, Spinit Casino is the right place to broaden your horizons. I didn’t win any jackpots (yet), but I haven’t given up on the dream!

Table Games

Spinit Casino is mainly geared towards slot lovers. However, if you are into casino table games, you won't be disappointed with over 70 classic table games, including many exciting variations of Roulette and Blackjack. There is also Baccarat, Mega Ball, Craps and Casino Hold 'em and more games. The only game notably missing is Video Poker.

Live Casino

Evolution Gaming has exclusivity on Spinit's Live Dealer section. I played some Instant Roulette, Deal or No Deal, Baccarat, Blackjack Silver and Caribbean Stud. With over 80 of Evolution's best Live Dealer titles, you are sure to find games and variations to suit your taste.

Spinit Casino is developed with HTML5 technology. Therefore its casino client is responsive and optimised for Android, iOS and Windows Phone mobile devices. The design is seamless across Spinit's desktop and mobile clients. So you will find everything at the exact same place when you access Spinit Casino through your mobile browser. Not all games made it across to the mobile client. Still, with a total of 1,200 mobile games (1,100 of which are slots) at your fingertips, you can enjoy Spinit Casino from anywhere, at any time.

Spinit Casino doesn't have a native mobile app. But the mobile browser version still gives you access to Spinit's main point of sale, which is the epic variety of games, mainly being slots. The one drawback of Spinit's mobile client is game search usability, where the game menu/slider becomes narrow (showing only three options at a time). And because it isn't docked to the screen, using it while scrolling up and down between hundreds of games is nearly impossible.

If you are looking for answers to basic questions, go to Spinit Casino's FAQ section. It is very intuitive, easy to use and written clearly. You will find information on many issues such as banking, security, player account, registration etc.

Spinit Casino also provides live chat support. However, the live chat doesn't seem to be staffed by live agents. Instead, bots send random replies based on words you type. Although there is a free-phone support number listed on Spinit Casino, there are no hours of support advertised anywhere on the site.

Email replies were helpful and professional. But it took over 12 hours to receive replies to basic questions about deposit methods, bonuses and account settings.

To avoid frustration, it's probably better to stick to the FAQ section and escalate to email support if you have an issue you cannot resolve on your own. But you will need to be patient.

Spinit Casino holds licenses from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). If you are playing on Spinit Casino from the UK, you will be required to verify your casino account as part of the UKGC requirements. To complete the verification process, also knowns as KYC (Know Your Customer) check, you will need to submit to the casino the following documents:

• Passport, driver license, or another form of photo ID.
• Proof of address from the past 3 months, such as a utility bill.
• Proof of the payment method used (for example, a debit card statement).

What's excellent about Spinit Casino's verification process is that you don't need to send your personal documents via email like at other UK online casinos. Just click on My Account in the top menu and choose the Document Upload option. It will enable you to select and upload the documents directly from your computer.

Besides the fact it is encrypted and safer than email, uploading the documents is a much faster process. I had my account verified on the same day, which is surprisingly fast compared to the average 2-3 days of correspondence the KYC process usually takes me.

Spinit Casino has a good selection of payment methods such as debit cards, e-wallets, wire transfer, prepaid cards and even pay-by-mobile options. Deposits are free and instant, so you can start playing for real money as soon as the transaction is complete. The minimum deposit is £10.

Most payment methods offered at Spinit Casino also support withdrawals. Depending on the method chosen, withdrawals can be instant (for most e-wallets) or take between 1 and 3 business days (for debit cards and other methods). The minimum withdrawal is £20, and the maximum limit is £5,000 per transaction.

I used my Ecopayz e-wallet and made a deposit directly from the sign-up page. Ecopayz has a £1,000 deposit limit. It took me a few minutes to fill in my Ecopayz account details, and seconds after I confirmed the transaction, the money showed up in my casino balance on the top-right of the screen.

The one thing that bothered me was the 2.49% withdrawal fee. But otherwise the withdrawal process was seamless. I quickly filled a request and received my money on the same day.
