Virgin Casino – Site Review
19th May, 2009
Virgin claim this to be a fun, honest and fair online casino, which one may expect from a Virgin product. Responsible gambling links for help and information can be found throughout the site, even when playing, and 24/7 contact services including web-chat provide further assistance.
It is a very easy to use and well-presented site with the games clearly listed and navigation banners on the left-hand side and across the top to make accessing different areas of the site even simpler. The background looks slightly amateurish but is only a slight issue on an otherwise very well presented site. Signing up is very simple; the form is clearly presented and can be completed with minimum effort. Then you’re ready to play!
With more than 65 games, there’s plenty to choose from, including many casino classics. There’s perhaps not as much choice as other providers, but they are looking to add more and more games (even taking suggestions from users by email). Playing the games is again very simple. No download is needed, meaning you can play instantly and (provided you have a decent internet connection) this is normally a seamless process.
Each game has an introduction page with helpful information links such as ‘How to Play’ and ‘Special Bets’, useful for beginners. Playing the games is a real pleasure and easy to pick up with its sleek graphics and helpful interface to the side.
The promotions aren’t bad either. There’s a 100% cash match of up to £100 when joining. Many different weekly offers such as Monday Mania and Terrific Tuesdays provide more bonuses which are enough to attract both casual and regular players. Subscribers to the weekly newsletter receive even more exclusive offers, a good reason to sign up. Its unique feature though is the V*Points system. This is a reward scheme where users receive points based on how much money they wager, which can be redeemed for Virgin goodies, air miles, charitable donations or cash.
Overall, Virgin have developed a very good online casino, with plenty of offers to attract players of all levels and a good selection of well-presented fun games whilst maintaining a degree of honesty and fairness.
