Sky Vegas Casino UK Review 2016

Sky Vegas Casino has come a long way in becoming a diverse online casino as it only started out with three games in 2003 and now they have more than two hundred and fifty online casino games! Sky Vegas is an online casino owned by BSkyB, so this is no fly-by-night operation – it’s definitely a place that you can trust. Sky Vegas online casino is licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission for non-UK players, and the UK Gambling Commission for Brits. Sky Vegas online casino UK does not permit players from the USA. This is a multi-platform mobile casino which is available for anyone who prefers to game on their mobile or tablet.

Sky Vegas is in fact owned by CVC Capital as well as Sky plc. The Sky plc Group is the broadcasting company who own Sky News. Therefore, the two popular Sky brands do indeed hail from the same holding company.

Welcome bonus

This is our favourite part of any review because new players want to know what they’re going to get from any new online casino. Well, this is what Sky Vegas Casino has to offer:

New players at the Sky Vegas Online Casino are offered a £10 free bonus, plus a ‘deposit £10 play with £50’ welcome bonus.

Once you have completed your registration at Sky Vegas you will find that £10 in free money has suddenly appeared in your account. Don’t get too excited as this is non-withdrawable, and you have to perform £200 worth (so, twenty times the bonus amount) of wagering before you can withdraw. You can use your bonus on all games aside from ‘Super Monopoly Money’. Your bonus cash is valid for thirty days from your date of registration.

You can also claim your deposit bonus here once you have completed your registration. if you are willing to make a £10 deposit, then Sky Vegas will shove an extra £40 into your account. You only need to deposit £40, although you can deposit more. Whatever you deposit, you will end up with a maximum £40 bonus.

The wagering requirement for your first deposit bonus is forty times the deposit amount plus the bonus. All games except ‘Super Monopoly Money’ is included in this deal. They really don’t like ‘Super Monopoly Money’ here, do they? Not all games contribute equally towards wagering, though as you can see here:

  • Slots and instant win games – 100%
  • All table games – 10%

You can only use the games at Sky Vegas to meet wagering requirements, not at other sections at the site such as the sports book or the bingo room.

Range of games

Sky Vegas online casino offers over two hundred and fifty online slots games to choose from and these cover a range of themes – we think you’d be hard-pressed to not find ones you enjoy. These include a selection of the classic table games like roulette and blackjack, and there are some video poker games to try out as well. Sky Vegas Casino also offers a range of betting levels so beginners and high rollers can find games that suit their bankroll and preferred style of play. Sky Vegas’ live casino gives its players the choice of playing live online casino games like blackjack, roulette, baccarat and live casino Hold’em. The live dealer aspect gives you that exciting Vegas-feel to your play as it all happens in real time.

If you truly love your slots then there’s plenty of fun to be had here. With many great providers, you’ll be able to enjoy top slots such as Stairway to Heaven, Cleopatra Plus and Jewel in the Crown.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Very speedy withdrawals – no worries about getting your money when you need it
  • Small bonuses but good ones!
  • Accepts PayPal as a payments services provider
  • Lots of other gambling options

Cons

  • Does not accept either Skrill or Neteller
  • Site can seem a little messy at times

Layout and usability

Sky Vegas Casino tows the line of the corporation’s design with the instantly recognisable Sky logo. This online casino has a Vegas theme with an interface that sets the scene for good gambling and betting. At a push we would say that the design is a bit busy, but overall it is easy to navigate and the vertical and horizontal tabs direct you to whatever you are looking for. It also has simple and clear graphics which clearly depict the different games and offers the casino has. If you’re new here then please don’t worry – you’ll soon feel like an old pro quickly enough.

Sky Vegas Mobile Casino offers players an incredible ten quid no deposit bonus when joining their mobile site, just like the desktop site. Sky Vegas Mobile Casino offers players a number of casino games they can play on their mobile or tablet devices. Players can play roulette, blackjack and online slots when they play at Sky Vegas Mobile Casino. The great news about the Sky Vegas Mobile Casino is that new players will receive a no deposit bonus of £10. These players will also receive a £40 welcome bonus when they make the first deposit.

Promotions for existing players

Sky Vegas certainly believes in keeping its regular players happy. They do this with a continual stream of promotions that loyal Sky Vegas regular should delight in. For example, each week you can earn yourself twenty free spins. All you have to do is play £20 on slots during the seven day qualification period. You can use your free spins on any one of a list of around a dozen top slots games, and all winnings are paid as cash – no wagering necessary!

There are also – at the time of this review, anyhow – over £1,000 in bonuses available every seven days. Just play at the Sky Vegas online casino every week, and your enthusiasm will be rewarded with a tasty bonus. The more you play of course, the bigger your bonus!

VIP/Loyalty scheme

There is also a sort of loyalty programme that gives points for playing at Sky Vegas Casino that in turn earn you rewards. There are also promotions linked to these loyalty points such as double and triple point days. This is not what usually qualifies as a ‘VIP scheme’ though as there are no tiers, nor special deals and promotions for high level VIP players.

Special features

Sky Vegas Casino is another one of those online casinos that uses a number of gaming software providers to host their online games. This gives them a diverse range of games for their players, picking the very best each has to offer. The list of software providers that Sky Vegas Casino has to offer include big industry names such as  IGT, NetEnt and Cryptologic so it is pretty much guaranteed that you’ll be playing games with smooth gameplay, easy functionality and exceptional graphics. It pays for a casino to give their players top-notch entertainment. Sky Vegas Casino values convenience for players and hence they have developed a Sky Vegas Mobile App for players who wish to download the App onto their mobile devices.

SkyVegas Casino laptop

Their live chat support is available 24/7, which is usually the best way to get hold of them with any queries. However you can also e-mail, telephone or even use the good old postal service! We have never had any issues with Sky Vegas Casino’s UK customer service.

Other betting options

Poker players are well-catered for as Sky Vegas Casino includes a poker school for anyone looking to learn how to play with the convenience of doing so online. Sky Vegas Casino also hosts some great poker tournaments that kick off several times a day. And let’s not forget about the bingo fans – because Sky Vegas Casino certainly hasn’t! Sports book fans will also find a happy home here, betting on anything imaginable from horse racing to Fantasy Football. Football betting tips will be based off actual players in this last game, so be sure to brush up on the performance of your favourite.

Conclusion

We enjoyed playing at Sky Vegas Casino. There are other casinos with a wider range of games on offer, but we’ve always found Sky Vegas’ online games to be high quality and great fun. And they provide entertainment for every type of online bettor.

Sky Vegas Casino gets four stars out of a possible five. We would like to see them offer more payment methods – indeed, they did use to offer both Skrill and Neteller as payment methods, but stopped accepting both in 2016. We think they ought to be re-instated, as they are standard payment services providers that the majority of online casinos now use. If this is not too much of an annoyance for you, then head to Sky Vegas Casino pronto!
