Britain Play Casino Welcome Bonus

As the name would suggest, Britain Play casino is about everything British. The first thing we noticed upon going to the site was the familiar site of Big Ben and the London Eye either side of the game area. With such a brand name and an obvious focus, it is hardly surprising that Britain Play is a premier UK casino site and this gives the operator an advantage over its competitors.

The site itself has a large range of games including slots, bingo and table games. There is so much choice that they can’t fit all options on the screen at the same time so ensure you use the left and right arrow to navigate the main sections otherwise you could miss out.

Jumpman Gaming Limited operate Britain Play alongside many other sites and as well as being licensed in the UK, they accept players from outside as well through a license issued in Alderney.

Anyone signing up to Britain Play for the first time gets to spin the mega wheel after making their first deposit which determines what slots bonus you get. Whilst this may not be everyone's cup of tea – another British favourite – as you cannot guarantee what you will get, all spins are winners and can include Amazon vouchers or free spins. There is no match bonus on here which may disappoint some players.

Winnings from online free spins online are limited to a maximum of £8 for every 10 free spins. Therefore, if you get 20 free spins, you will not be able to win more than £16. This removes the chance of a large win no matter how unlikely it is and could disappoint some players who don’t see this before playing.
Bonus funds need to be wagered 65 times before a withdrawal can be requested which is higher than some other sites.


 

There isn’t a specific VIP scheme at Britain Play, but they do have a Trophies section which gives rewards. Each time you log in you will see more trophies available such as spending a certain amount on slots, on bingo or depositing via a certain method. The more trophies you earn, the higher your level and each time you earn a new level, you get another spin on the mega wheel giving you the chance to win prizes. The higher the level you get to, the better the prizes on offer.

One of the first things we look for when reviewing a site is the safety aspect that is available to players.
Britain Play is licensed by the UKGC with license number 39175. It also states it is licensed in Alderney by the Gambling Control Commission although no license number for this is provided.
Jumpman Gaming Limited operate Britain Play who are a trusted company which run numerous other recommended sites.

The software is tested and approved by SQS, an industry site that ensures the integrity of slot and table games that use a random number generator. This gives players peace of mind that all spins and cards are dealt fairly and without prejudice.

Any good gaming site will give their players plenty of options when it comes to gambling responsibly and Britain Play is no different.

On their Responsible Gaming section, there are a number of questions you can ask yourself to see if you have a gambling problem, information on what to do and who to speak to if you do, the ability to add a deposit limit to your account, take a break from playing or to self-exclude. Remember that gambling should always be fun and if you are playing with funds you don’t feel comfortable in losing, it could be time to seek help.

We also take a long look at the customer support side of a site and how quick/knowledgeable they are. We were somewhat disappointed to see that Britain Play don’t have a live chat or phone option to speak to someone instantly but that in order to contact them, you need to send an email. This isn’t ideal for everyone in case a query needs to be answered immediately and is unusual to see in this day and age.

However, there is a large FAQ section that has answers to many important questions so if your query in generic, you should be able to get the answer here.

One of the areas in which Britain Play excel is the sheer number of games available to players. There are over 1,000 available to choose from including those from top games providers such as Microgaming, Netent and Betsoft. each offer up some of the best online slots in the UK alongside table games and live casino. 

The main issue is that there are too many to fit on one page and the lobby itself is harder to navigate than many. There are left and right arrows you need to click to view all options which is easy to miss, you can’t sort by games from a particular provider and the whole feel to it is cluttered.

The casino has a product where the lobby is easier to navigate and you can view games from each room to see which is starting next and how much. They don’t seem to take as much care with the bingo as other sites as it is hidden away on the casino lobby as opposed to having its own tab. There is no specific bingo welcome bonus either.

There's a good selection of table games available at Britain Play, including plenty of editions of casino favourites like online blackjack and online roulette for real money. 

There are live casino games at Britain Play, but they're hidden away under the table games tab along with non-live casino games. Other sites are certainly laid out better to find the game you want to play.

Playing at Britain Play's live casino on mobile is a similar story, there is no App you can download specifically to play, you can tell work has been done to ensure games play well on devices but the issues with the lobby found on the website are still there.

Whilst we like the idea of a themed casino site, other than the images of Big Ben and the London Eye, there isn’t much else along the same theme. The bonus is something of a lottery, although you can win a nice number of free spins, the limitations that you can only win £8 from every 10 free spins negate the chance of winning big and the higher than usual wagering don’t help.

There are a good number of promotions available but they tend to be free spins as opposed to match bonuses which many players prefer and the trophy section is good if you play here a lot. It can be worth looking at what you need to do to win trophies when you are near to a new level to get moved up and another spin on the mega wheel faster.

The software isn’t the best we’ve seen and could do with some work along with another customer support option other than email. Table games, bingo and slots on mobile all work perfectly fine, but navigation can be clunky and we'd like to see a dedicated mobile app to enhance the experience. 

The main advantage we found to playing here is the number of slots and table games available as there is something for everyone no matter your game of choice. As well as accepting Visa and Mastercard deposits, Britain Play is a top Paysafecard casino in the UK - a method not all sites accept. Though would have liked to see at least one e-wallet option, such as Paypal or Neteller.

Withdrawal times tend to be quick, next day for payments to a card although this can be longer for a first withdrawal which is to be expected. The site advises to allow 1 to 3 working days to receive funds.

Documents are needed prior to a first withdrawal, these include photo ID such as passport or drivers license, a recent bank statement or utility bill as proof of address and proof of payment method such as front and back of the card used to deposit.
