Spin Genie Casino Review

Sup, dawgs!

This is your boy Derrick coming at you with another online casino review. Get your good hand ready because we’re about to rub something until bonuses come out. I’m, of course, talking about the Genie in a lamp. Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself!

Now that you are all done cringing at my joke, let’s focus on Spin Genie. This is one of the very few online casinos that are available in the UK. But I gotta say, I have some issues with this casino as well.

Let your boy Derrick show you the way.

Spin Genie Casino Details

Let’s begin this SpinGenie Casino review with the basic info: Spin Genie used to be operated by Bear Group LTD but was bought by Skill on Net Ltd recently. The casino has its license issued by the UK Gambling Commission.

Spin Genie wants you to know that your money is safe and that’s why they have the “Play Responsibly” and “Gamble responsibly” links on their site. This casino also boldly claims that it’s the UK’s top site for all slots, casino and instant win games. The website also came out in 2020, which makes it one of the latest online casinos to grace our screens.

Now let your boy Derrick tell you how things actually are: this is a pretty generic casino that thinks it’s the best just because it’s available for the UK market. But the truth is, it has very little going for it. Let’s take a closer look.

Country Restrictions

Now, if this was a UK-only website, then I wouldn’t have much of a problem. However, it isn’t. There’s a pretty big restricted countries list:

• Afghanistan, Aland Islands, Algeria, Angola, Anguilla, Aruba, Australia, Benin, Bolivia, Bouvet Island, Cambodia, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Colombia, Congo, Congo Democratic Republic, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, East Timor, Estonia, Ethiopia, France, French Guiana, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, Gabon, Gambia, Gaza strip, Ghana, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guam, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Martinique, Mauritania, Mauritius, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestinian Territory, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, Reunion, Romania, Rwanda, Satellite Provider, Senegal, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Spain, SriLanka, Sudan, Swaziland, Switzerland, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, United States, Wallis and Futuna, West Bank, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

Let’s see how the UK’s top site for all slots, casinos and instant win games holds up with welcoming new players and keeping veteran players. We’re looking at two types of welcome bonuses, tournaments and some mysterious daily slots. Most of these only apply to slots, so keep that in mind, dawgs.

Welcome Bonus

We’ve actually got two of them! One is kind of weak and the other feels more like a weak annual subscription.

108 Free Spins First Deposit Bonus

The title says it all dawgs. Get 108 free spins on the game “Spinning Wilds” when you make your first deposit of only $10. Even though giving free spins as a welcome bonus is kind of a given, 108 free spins for only ten quid is actually not that bad.

However, with wagering requirements of x60 for the free spins winnings, this is nothing to write home about, dawg.

Max bet is 10% of the free spins winnings amount. Also, note that the bonus expires in 72h so make sure you use it in that time.

Free Spins For A Whole Year!

Yes, it does sound better than it actually is. This is the other welcome bonus that you can trigger by depositing $50 on your first deposit and using the code: spin1year.

With this bonus, you’ll get 10 free spins every week and a one-time 50% match bonus. So let’s do the math, if each month has 4 whole weeks, that would mean that you could potentially win at least 480 free spins in a whole year. 

Dayum, not bad, but then you gotta ask: What’s the catch? Wagering requirements for the deposit bonus are (Bonus + Deposit) x 30, which is not that great.

Not only that, the wagering requirements for the free spins winnings are at a whopping x60.

Still, your boy Derrick’s gotta give them credit for being true to their title. You will indeed get spins for a whole year.

Other Bonuses

Daily Picks

Every day, when you log into your account, you can access the Daily Picks section and choose one of the daily casino bonus offers. These, apparently, include free spins and real cash prizes.

Now, don’t quote me on this, but I’m pretty sure that that last part isn’t entirely true. I haven’t seen any “real cash prizes” other than a few match bonuses (with wagering requirements) and some light free spins. I’m guessing that more than that might show up if I deposit a few more pounds, but I can’t be sure.

By that I mean, it really isn’t explained anywhere on the website. It’s as mysterious as figuring out how Spin Genie Casino is the UK’s top site for slots.

Daily Slots Tournaments

The daily tournaments can only be accessed from your casino account, meaning you have to actually log in to check if any exciting tournaments are happening. There are daily freeroll and buy-in tournaments where casino players can duke it out for a big prize pool.

Pro tip: If you see an ad that says something like a $100,000 win, keep in mind that that prize will usually be split among the top players (the top player will get $30,000, the second player $15,000 and so on).

VIP Program

Is there a VIP loyalty program at Spin Genie Casino? Well, yes, but actually no. Here’s the deal dawgs: there USED TO BE a VIP program, but it’s out of the picture now. However, they still have bits of it left.

What this means is that players who joined the casino when the VIP was available are still technically their VIP rank but new players can’t join the loyalty program. If you are reading this as a potential new player, I’m sorry, there is no VIP program at Spin Genie Casino for you.

There are plenty of free spins to go around. If you don’t mind the wagering requirements, the initial welcome bonus is a pretty sweet deal. The whole year of free spins might also be okay if you are planning to only do a couple of free spins each week.

You can also score a couple of free spins from the daily deal promotions. Just keep in mind that all of these free spins usually have either a (B+D)x30 or Bx60 wagering requirements, making them pretty difficult to turn into real money.

There is a healthy library of online casino games available at Spin Genie Casino. It’s also ALMOST, perfectly organized. It has 4 menus: Home, Slots, Instant Win and Casino.

Home has the latest and most popular games. Slots are slots but they also have sub-categories for jackpots and daily jackpots. Instant Win consists of Sling games and scratch card games. Finally, Casino games contain roulette, blackjack and “other” games.

Here’s a list of all the software providers available:

• Nyx SGI, Microgaming, Nyx, Nyx Thunderkick, Edict, Yggdrasil, GDM, GVG (SON), Merkur, NYX Aristocrat, Nyx Realistic, GameArt, Amaya, NetEnt, Nyx BigTime, Play’N Go, Microgaming, Evolution Gaming, Ganapati, WMS Games, Microgaming, GameArt RTG, Edict RTG, Extreme Live, Edict (Merkur), Nyx – Nextgen, LightningBox, Edict (Gamomat), Pragmatic Play

Slot Games

There are plenty of slot games to play at Spin Genie Casino. Even though the website boasts about having over 1,500 casino games, it actually has over 2,500 of them.

I went through the video slots section and I saw quite a few popular games, including some of my favourite games. Also, my baby, “Book of Dead” is there, which is always a good sign. Unfortunately, if you see something you like but want to try it first, tough luck because the website doesn’t really have demo versions of the casino games.

Here are a few slots that caught my eye:

• 5 Families
• Masquerade
• Champions of Valhalla

Table Games

First, the good news: Even though there are only a handful of table games available, at least roulette and blackjack have their own categories.

Now the bad news: The live dealer games are also mixed in with the non-live table games.

Why, dawg? Just, why? Why do you have so many categories and subcategories but you couldn’t make one for the live casino games?

Still, if you don’t mind the mess, Spin Genie Casino does have a bunch of European roulette games, blackjack games, and a couple of video poker games too as well as a few other odd ones.

Instant Win

In the instant win category, we have a whole lotta sling and scratch cards games. Sling games seem to be really popular at Spin Genie Casino. For those of you that don’t know, Slingo plays pretty much like slots, except there are 5×5 reels instead of 5×3 or 3×3. I guess the “Instant win” is because of the scratch cards, which are self-explanatory, dawg.

Jackpot Games

Here’s something that your boy Derrick likes. Not only do jackpots have their own subcategory in the slots section, but so do Daily jackpots. Some, but not all slot games, show the exact jackpot before you click on them, which I appreciate. As of writing this, there are about 50 active jackpots in each category.

Live Casino Games

I already mentioned that if you want to play live casino games, you’ll have to go looking for them in the table games category. Yeah, it sucks, but that’s what you gotta do if you want to play live roulette and live blackjack games. In the “Other” games section, you can also play live baccarat and live wheel of fortune games. Sweet, Bro.

Yes, Spin Genie casino does work on mobile devices, but so does every other casino website that came out in the last 5 years. Your boy Derrick had no trouble going through the casino section on his Samsung phone and my bros at the office who use Apple products were able to browse it without any problems.

Spin Genie Casino does not have a dedicated casino mobile app, which doesn’t pose much of a problem in my book if it works like a charm on any browser.

There aren’t too many payment options when it comes to depositing and withdrawing money from Spin Genie Casino. Fortunately, most of their payment methods work both ways, which is quite impressive. Some of these may not be available to you depending on your region, but, without further ado, here they are

Deposit Methods

• Visa, Mastercard, Paysafecard, PayPal, Trustly, Skrill, ecoPayz, Sofort, Neteller, Direct eBanking, Fast Bank Transfer and Citadel

Minimum deposit: $10

Deposit limits are also calculated according to your playing habits and deposited funds.

Withdrawal Methods

Surprisingly, the same methods work for withdrawing, with a few exceptions:

• Visa, Mastercard, PayPay, Trustly, Skrill, ecoPayz, Sofort, Neteller.

Minimum withdrawal: $20

Accepted Currencies

Only three currencies are accepted in this joint:

• EUR, GBP and NOK.

Of course, the UK’s top online casino simply has to have top-of-the-line customer support. It just wouldn’t be right otherwise.

When your boy Derrick reviews a casino, I scout out the exterior before I come in. I see everything the casino has to offer before I actually create an account. You can imagine how “happy” I was when I read the live chat was for members only. Strike one!

Every single online casino should have live chat available to everyone (both members and non-members).

The live chat support is available from 06:00 – 00:00 GMT. Strike two! Dawg, if your live chat ain’t working 24/7, then your casino shouldn’t be working either. Luckily there was no strike three as their E-mail support does work.

Also, I had a chat with the Spin Genie customer support and they weren’t really all that chatty. When they figured I only needed info on some casino details, they really seemed like they wanted to cut the conversation short.

Available Languages

Even though it’s a UK-based casino, there are two more website languages: Finnish and Norwegian. Naturally, there is also plain old English, of course.

Look, I gotta be honest here. Unless this is the only online casino available in the UK, I can’t imagine how it is considered the top site for all slots and casino games.

The few things that Spin Genie Casino does well are nothing compared to its shortcomings. The entire casino is super generic and yet it seems like it believes that it’s the best casino in the world. I just can’t recommend that kind of smug behaviour, dawg.

I’d be willing to give another Spin Genie Review if the website makes the live chat available to everyone, adds a few more bonuses and removes that message about being the top site because it clearly isn’t at the moment. Fingers crossed! As always, We got you, Bro!
