Lucky Casino is a new-breed online gaming site launched in 2016 by Viral Interactive Limited, of Malta. The site is licensed by the Gambling Commission for players in the UK, in Malta for the European Union as a whole, and by Antillephone under 8048/JAZ for some software, games, and players in other parts of the world.

Viral is a white label, multi-channel gaming, and betting solutions provider, but Lucky is their own B2C brand, according to the company, but we find it listed as a white label on the UKGC license register. They also operate under the trade name, Fantasybet in the UK and that site is also registered as a white label. Swedencasino is their only B2C domain listed with the UKGC.

Malta lists several more approved intermediaries on the MGA license including Leedsbet, Redsbet, RedArmybet, and Fansbet.

The site operates on the Finnplay platform, which also powers GoWild, NoAccount, and Vegas.hu for the Hungarian market. While the Finnplay platform only lists about two dozen third-party gaming providers, others with advanced APIs can integrate their games as it appears Skywind has done. The Playtech Premium Partner is another highly advanced technology company in their own right and may provide other services to the platform that we are unaware of. As of review, one slot game was listed on the site by Skywind - Shen Long Bao Shi.

The site, with well over 1,000 games depending on player's login location, is available in English, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, and German language versions. In 99% of the cases, the games you see are the games you will be able to play from your residential location.

Software and Games

The Finnplay platform has proven reliable and stable and gives operators all of the options they need to run a smooth operation. Lucky Casino has crafted a package that gives users maximum flexibility while remaining extremely easy to navigate. It's also a nice looking package!

Players will see the number of games available to them from their login location before signing up. Skipping game categories, the filtering tab to find game providers is right in the middle of the screen. When we visited the selection may have been in update mode or lacks a certain level of sophistication as two of the suppliers were listed as Ext.Game.Provider.xx. One of the categories showed slots by NoLimit City and the other displayed titles by Red Rake Gaming.

The filters work nicely to separate progressive jackpot slot providers as well. Simply choose Jackpots from the large icon menu, then select either Microgaming or Betsoft by the provider. More progressives could be added in the future but we found a single Microgaming title, Mega Moolah, and 18 Betsoft games such as Good Girl Bad Girl, the Glam Life, and Tycoons.

The table games section offers live dealers through Evolution, well over 50 NetEnt RNG card, table, and video poker games, and plenty of low limit/high limit choices for blackjack and baccarat.

The text search can also be constrained to any given provider or to find a favorite among all games.

Many players may only find a few game providers while others will have access to the entire suite of over 1,300 games. The only way to find out for sure is to give it a click and see the number of games displayed. You can also try most games in Demo mode, and there are likely a few that will be new, Skywind, Join Games, and Mr. Slotty are less well-known brands, as are several of the Quickfire partners listed under the Microgaming banner. Look for La Rouge by Old Skool Studios, Honeymooners from 2by2, and Attack of the Zombies by Genesis Gaming for some steampunk inspired fun, to name a few of the surprises to be found on the list.

Bonuses and Promotions

Look for generous offers including mixed bundles. ALmost all of the terms are super easy to read and crystal clear with one exception, which we'll get to in a minute. The great news is that when you take a match bonus, you play through real money first. The max bet when playing with real money is currently 10x the max bet if you bust out your deposit and dip into bonus funds. Win before you get below your deposit amount to simply cash out and forfeit any bonus funds or extra spins. Always check current terms before you deposit and play with a bonus.

The not so great news, but still pretty good, is that the amount you can cash out from bonus winnings is restricted. We won't mention the amount as it has been reduced significantly in the last year or so, but is still in the 4-digits.

The unknown element exists in current term 2.15 which states "When participating in a bonus, max withdrawal has following limitations:" That term may be open to interpretation is not further defined. Do you participate in a bonus when you accept the matching funds, or only after depleting your cash balance? We don't find any resolved complaints related to capped wins on real money, be sure to clarify in writing.

Banking and Customer Service

All regular banking methods including debit/credit cards, prepaid, eWallets, and certain bank transfers are supported. Skrill, Via, and Mastercard may have a small fee associated with withdrawals. Deposit and withdrawal minimums are low but payout daily/monthly maximums are too.

Pitfalls

Verification deposit are required to be wagered 1x. An unclear cap on bonus participation winnings. May not act quickly enough on self-exclusions. May confiscate deposits as well as winnings if self-excluded from other Viral sites. Have clarified (changed) terms retroactively. May take up to 5 days to process withdrawals. Low daily/monthly withdrawal limits. The term for "max withdrawal from bonus conversion amount" is not consistent throughout the T&C. Visitors won't find access to live help or other customer support without logging in.

The Final Word

While rife with more 'pitfalls' than many other properties, most of the mentions wouldn't be deal-breakers for the majority of players. High rollers may wish to look elsewhere, but 4-digit withdrawals per day should keep most players happy. No matter where you log in from you should find hundreds of games, a generous welcome offer, and even more generous max bet thresholds while playing the real money potion of a bonus deposit.

The site is not only aesthetically pleasing, it's actually fun to navigate and particular players will appreciate the ease with which they can find certain games. Hovering over any game icon will show the theoretical return to player percentage (RTP), but not the slot's volatility. Most players who concern themselves with that index already know their games or how to find that information. If you've self-excluded anywhere, please check the license links below to see all associated properties. Otherwise, with a little due diligence on bonus terms, everyone should find a nice place to play with a great selection of games.
