Huikee Casino is a Finn-First online gambling site with instant play and no registration needed. Launched in the middle of 2021, the site’s operator is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority with certificates from the Gambling Commission in the UK for good measure at most casinos.

Managed by White Hat Gaming Limited, the site’s remit is focused on speed and security in games as well as banking.

Look for a collection of about 4,000 slots from top-tier providers, a generous loyalty program, VIP accommodations, and payouts up to €100,000 per transaction.

Players in other regions may be eligible to log in and play, however, Trustly instant online banking, sometimes known as PNP or Pay’NPlay is the only way to deposit and withdraw. The following financial institutions are supported.

• OP
• Nordea
• S-Pankki
• Danske Bank
• Säästöpankki
• POP Pankki
• OmaSp
• Aktia
• Handelsbanken
• Ålandsbanken

If you don’t have online banking, or cannot get online banking with one of the above financial institutions, we are not aware of a way for you to play here. As PNP casinos evolve and adjust for their markets, occasionally one will become what’s known as Hybrid Pay’NPlay with additional banking solutions.

The site is available in Finnish and English with the toggle located under the three-line menu in the upper left corner of the page. The menu icon will appear after scrolling down any amount on the page.

There’s a FAQ page that should help you learn everything you need to know about instant gambling and behind-the-scenes verification as well as live chat and a team ready to respond to your email if that’s how you prefer to communicate.

White Hat Gaming Limited (WHG) is located in the online gambling capital of Europe and maintains a license for about 40 different gaming sites - each with its own appeal to a certain niche of players, or a theme to appeal to player desires, such as gamification, instant withdrawals, or regional interests.

Sister sites include Skol, DreamVegas, Gate777, GDay, Casanova, and Hello among many others. While some of these sites have lengthy histories of mostly unresolved complaints, the number one driver of them throughout the years seems to have been document verification.

The good news here is that if you are able to deposit using your online banking credential through the secure Trustly banking portal - they already know who you are, your bank can confirm your identity and almost any other details the operator is required to document under their licenses.

This means that all you have to do is a deposit to ‘log in’, and while you are playing the little mice are on the wheels behind the scenes spinning up the documentation you will need when you are ready to cash out in an hour or so. If there is a verification issue it would be between your financial institution and Trustly in most cases and nothing you could help remedy, it would work itself out in the background.

That’s not to say you will definitely never be asked to provide supporting documents; perhaps you’ve moved or changed jobs recently, or in the worst case you may have been the victim of identity theft or credit card fraud. Those situations are quite rare and would result in a delayed withdrawal no matter how you deposit or how you withdraw.

In the not-too-far-distant past, namely prior to gaining a UKGC license for their B2C and white label brands in 2018, there was a markedly higher frequency of complaints - document verification was not the only issue.

So...

What were people saying about White Hat Gaming 5 years ago?

Players who were either purposefully or otherwise opening accounts at newly opened venues, taking the welcome bonus, and then moving along to the next one win or lose almost all complained of being “bonus-banned”. That’s a situation that usually occurs within one operator’s stable, where new signups are either denied bonuses or completely banned from bonus offers across the network.

• We don’t currently find a sign-up or first deposit bonus here so there are no confusing bonus terms possible

Other players complained about a safeguard that only allows exposure of Є250,000 from a single spin, not including progressive jackpots. If you are the type of bettor that stands to win a quarter million euros on a single spin, perhaps this is not the place for you.

• I don’t ever expect to win Є250,000 in a single spin unless it’s a progressive which would be paid in full

While I have personally cashed out more than 250x my deposit on more than one occasion throughout the decades, those winnings have never come from a single spin, but freak winning streaks. To hit a Є250,000 line win I’d have to line up something like 5 wilds symbols worth 10,000x line bet while betting Є25 per line or Є500 per spin on a 20-line slot… that’s simply not a problem I have to worry about.

If I put Є100k in one hand that I know I can get in a single transaction and Є250k in the other that I’ll never achieve without a progressive jackpot - I’ll take the bird in the hand.

It seems the three most cited grumbles about WHG sites would be mitigated here, but we’ll leave that for you to determine for yourself, of course.

• No document verification
• No welcome bonus
• Є250,000 max win per spin except for progressive jackpots

What are people saying today..?

The Gambling Commission in Great Britain was recently unimpressed with a couple of aspects of the brand’s anti-money laundering and social responsibility practices, allowing players to lose large sums of money without conducting in-depth interrogations to determine the source of wealth, etc.

White Hat’s grandivy.com, 21casino.com, hellocasino.com, and dreamvegas.com brands were the sites the indiscretions occurred in 2019 and WHG paid a settlement in lieu of penalty of Є1.5m. It was the company’s only regulatory action since gaining six forms of licenses from the Commission in 2018.

We haven’t found any player feedback yet on Huikee. However, we expect nothing but good words and good vibes with happy players enjoying hassle-free, friction-free instant banking and behind-the-scenes registration.

Software and Games 

All games including live dealer streams are available for instant play in any web browser with an internet connection. In order to play ‘for fun’ games, and the operators suggest that you do, you will need to open a separate account. All maths, mechanics, and every other element including the theoretical return to player percentage (RTP) of every game is exactly the same whether you play for fun or real money.

All games on site are listed on a page that states their Theoretical RTP. 

We did a quick browser search on the page (CTRL+F) and found over 80 titles with an RTP of 99.00% or better. Of course, most of those are low-volatility table games. However, it’s very easy to scan the page for games to gravitate towards or to avoid completely, such as scratch cards with 47% or 65%, or even 75% RTP.

It’s also a great way to see the RTP, if not the volatility index, of all of your favorite Megaways games. On the light side you might want to know how many titles contain the word “Buffalo”, or you might not. The point is that it is a tool that savvy gamblers can use to their advantage if they choose to.

Navigation and menu

Almost anywhere you go on the site you’ll have the opportunity to either deposit and play or log in if you already have a balance or account.

• Home
• Slot games
• Live dealers
• All Games
• Login
• VIP
• Loyalty Program
• Support

In addition to those menu items, there is also a horizontal menu of game types to include new games, popular games, your favorites, slots, live dealers, table games, scratch cards, “Must Go Jackpots”, Drops & Wins, and finally game providers.

If you simply like to do things your own way and know how to get around through nearly 4,000 games you can just scroll down the page or type in a game title or part of a provider name to see a unique selection crafted by you.

Since Drops & Wins - a category of Pragmatic Play games with built-in promotional engines that can award spins, bonus funds, or cash right into your account - already have their own category and Megaways games don’t, we decided to try the search box and were blown away by how many games appeared. Going back to the RTP list we found the word appeared over 200 times and had no idea there were that many games available using the Big Time Gaming mechanic. 

KeyToCasino is primarily a database-driven information site, they describe Megaways slots in a detailed way for those who may be new to them. In a nutshell, it’s a new way to play and the mechanic is so in demand that nearly every prominent developer and many up-and-comers have licensed it to include in their games. Pragmatic Play may be the best-known purveyor but Red Tiger, Blueprint, Inspired, SkyWind, Merkur, Iron Dog, NetEnt, Barcrest, and many others have come on board - because it’s what many players want.

Must Go Jackpots

These are Red Tiger Gaming slots with daily jackpots that must be awarded. Operators can actually set many of the parameters of these promotion games such as how often they must drop if they are “Must Drops” or simply run Daily Jackpots which all of the games we saw here when we visited were. Other options available to the operator include Super drop, Mega drop, and Hourly drop.

The jackpots can be won simply by landing three jackpot symbols while playing the base game. This activates the bonus wheel. If multiple jackpots are offered (you would see them in the jackpot game pane to the left of the reels).

There is no bet threshold required to participate. Since each spin on any given game increases the size of the jackpot - they grow until they drop - a win earlier in the period would likely be smaller than one near the end of the period.

Traffic and participation will determine the size of the jackpots but it’s not uncommon for Daily Drops to reach around 50,000 EUR on a daily basis. The only way to know for sure how much is up for grabs is to visit and see. We’re not aware of any jackpot tracker site that relays Daily Drops or other Red Tiger promotional jackpots.

Carl Ejlertsson, director of business development at Red Tiger said when the jackpots were launched: “Thursday and Friday nights tend to be the peak periods for Must Drop and Daily Drop jackpots so if you are seeking a bigger potential win, that is the time to play.”

RNG Table games

There is a great selection of random number generator animated digital video card games and other table games here. The developers were kind enough to place RNG games on the top of the list and if you keep scrolling you’ll start to see some of the live dealer table games.

If it’s been a while or if you have never played RNG tables games, you might be in for a pleasant surprise. Sure, there are dozens of live game providers now and most slot developers don’t fill out their portfolios with “cartoon” table games. That doesn’t mean new and exciting variants aren’t still being produced - they are!

Golden Rock Studios, a Microgaming Studio Partner offers Back Blackjack with payouts up to 264:1. Low rollers can play Inspired Gaming’s 20p Roulette. Touchstone Gaming offers Texas Hedge ‘Em, and Play’n GO has its 3-hand Casino Hold’Em on tap in this section.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Nearly all of Shufflemaster’s catalog of intellectual property like Mississippi Stud, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, and I Luv Suits are in attendance along with Switch Studios (Microgaming) creations like 8 Baccarat.

FELT is covered extensively with their magical Vegas variants of every game you can imagine - and if you want a lot of that diversity on a single offering try 6 in 1 Blackjack and take any, all, or no side bets. It’s very hard to explain the power of felt games - they don’t look 3D realistic, and they don’t have commonly used player interfaces - but - if you’ve ever played cards in Las Vegas, give any one of these games more than five minutes to experience the difference and I can almost guarantee you will have found a new favorite that somehow, mysteriously, feels just like Vegas, Baby.

Live games

For all of the advantages of playing RNG games, there’s an undeniable attraction to live casino entertainment that can take you away from your current environs and make you feel like you are on the floor of a brick-and-mortar venue.

Pragmatic Live heads up the live streaming section here followed by Evolution and finally Ezugi with a focus on Hindi players with specialty games. - Evolution and Pragmatic also offer games for India.

While it may appear as if there are only about a dozen tables here, a closer look reveals that some of the game icons are not icons at all, but portals to complete lobbies of specialty games like roulette with scores of tables, blackjack with every imaginable limit and variant, baccarat, and even a game shows lobby.

Bonuses and Promotions

The VIP Club here has four levels, each with increasing levels of rewards for loyal players. Running through the levels is 24/7 priority support and bespoke offers. Higher levels give ever-increasing value to your relationship with a VIP manager, as well as VIP emails, SMS messages, and phone calls.

With Level 2 and beyond you can enjoy bespoke tournaments. Ascending the ranks you’ll find tailored offers, free tournaments, cashback offers, birthday rewards, anniversary rewards, and seasonal perks.

Loyalty presents a path for rewards here and it’s all mapped out for you. All you have to do is play the games on each level to collect the associated rewards. The more you climb, the higher the rewards. There are currently 35 levels culminating with achieving the Huikee Crown.

Psst... Betting Pioneers will find as many as 16 additional levels.

Banking and Customer Service

Nothing could be easier than banking with Huikee. Simply request to deposit and use your online banking details through Trustly and you can start playing right away. After about €2000 in deposits, you will likely be asked to verify your personal details - it’s simply a requirement imposed by the site’s licensors. At least you won’t have to do it for your first withdrawals - which are just as quick and easy as deposits.

Customer care is available via live chat 24 hours a day in Finnish and English. Emails are replied to within 24 hours and there is a very good FAQ page for those who prefer to harvest and synthesize their own information.

Pitfalls

• Singular form of banking
• No traditional bonuses
• No phone support except for VIPs

The Final Word

Huikee Casino offers players with Nordic online banking an easy way to get playing their favorite games in no time. Very few PayNPlay operators offer traditional bonuses but very few offer such rich VIP and Loyalty schemes as you’ll find here. 

Deposits and withdrawals have a low threshold at a minimum of €20 however, withdrawals in a single transaction to your online bank account can be as high as €100,000 per month.

The game selection is phenomenal, but that’s also the case at many other sites. One thing I like here is the ability to find any Megaways slot using the RTP list or the search engine as well as special sections for the valuable Drops & Wins and Daily Drops jackpots.

All told there are more than 110 game providers here.

I especially appreciate the complete catalog of FELT RNG games as well as all of the Shufflemaster titles found here.

Whether you prefer Suami or English, all customer service reps will communicate with you as you like.
