Sunset Spins is an online casino launched on the Nektan platform in October 2017. The casino operates as a white label of Nektan and is licensed by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission for players in the UK and by the Government of Gibraltar for players everywhere else.

The casino's games use a Random Number Generator (RNG) which generates completely random results. The games are monitored in-house for randomness and the RNG has been certified by NMi, an internationally recognized and accredited testing facility. The governments of the UK, Malta, and Gibraltar are in possession of test certificates, and those documents are accessible from the casino website. Nektan publishes payout reports for their games quarterly, and those reports are available on the casino website as well by clicking on "Fair Games" at the bottom of any webpage.

As a white label casino, players have the full force and faith of Nektan behind them when playing there. Nektan launched their mobile gaming platform in 2014 for tablets, smartphones, and desktop devices and manages all aspects of casino operations except for bonuses, promotions, and advertising. Their first white label partner launched in May 2014.

Nektan is responsible for regulatory approval and licensing, website design, account management, player tracking and reporting, customer relationship management, payment processing, VIP management, game content, fraud and security, and 365/7 customer service.

The white label is owned by Tau Gaming Network and is one of 95 active white labels under Nektan management. Sister sites by Tau include Slots Devil, Seven Cherries, Slots Angel, and Kozmo Casino which operates on the Dragonfish platform.

Software and Games

All games at the casino were developed for delivery in HTML5 so they play just as well on a tablet, laptop, smartphone, or desktop computer with no need to download apps or software. Games from about 20 different providers can be found including Aristocrat, ELK Gaming, Foxium, IGT, Iron Dog Studio, Microgaming, NetEnt, and NextGen Gaming among others.

The website is masterfully designed for minimalism and utility while presenting a colorful and easy to navigate interface. More than 30 game icons are visible by scrolling, so familiar and popular games are always at a player's fingertips. For those who prefer to search out games by a specific provider, check boxes are displayed on the left. Clicking IGT, for example, will change the game display to include only IGT games such as Cleopatra, Wolf Run, 100 Pandas, etc.

Clicking the "Exclusives" box will bring up over 20 Nektan games including roulette and blackjack. Felt Gaming offers half a dozen varieties of blackjack and Extreme Gaming runs the live dealer gaming.

One of the filters will sort games based on their volatility or variance levels. The options for sorting by "Wins" are Very big, Big, Regular, Frequent, and Very Frequent which illustrates a spectrum from extremely volatile to low volatility respectively with "Regular" displaying medium variance games. Games like NextGen's 300 Shields and Merlin's Millions are found at the top, while easy-going slots like Realistic Games' Super Graphics Upside-Down and NetEnt's Butterfly Staxx are found at the other end of the spectrum. Lucky Leprechaun by Microgaming and Stinkin' Rich from IGT are found in the middle along with a host of games from Lightning Box, NextGen, Blueprint and three from Aristocrat.

Signing up only takes about a minute and logging in is immediate once you have an account. In order to register, you simply need to enter your email address, create a password, and choose a security question to answer and then fill in a few details. Nektan uses advanced technology to perform age and other security checks so they can often confirm your details without asking for documentation.

Bonuses and Promotions

Nektan casinos have become notorious for offering nice little incentives to sign up as well as ongoing bonuses and promotions for those who opt-in for email or SMS notifications. However, they also place a "max conversion" of 4x on most free spins and deposit bonus winnings. This means that if you accept a deposit bonus of 100% on a €100 deposit and have a good run, seeing your balance rise to €15,000 for instance, all but €400 will mysteriously evaporate from your account.

If you read and understand the Terms & Conditions and only play low volatility games and you are comfortable with such terms, by all means, we can suggest that you accept a bonus from the casino. On the other hand, if you play to win even as a "recreational player" who never "abuses a bonus" then we suggest you decline any and all deposit bonuses.

Progressive jackpot games are available at the casino. However, the specific terms capping bonus-related wins to 4x bonus amount do not clearly state whether they apply to network progressives. There is a section in the T&C that refers players to the network providers. The IGT T&C state that IGT will pay you directly, in one lump sum, "provided all these terms and conditions and all the Website’s terms and conditions have been observed".

If a bonus is taken, players should read and understand maximum betting limits imposed during bonus play. It is considered irregular play and winnings can be seized if you bet more than €5 per spin - but - if you deposit via an E-wallet (e.g. NETELLER, Skrill, Paypal) or a prepaid voucher (Paysafecard, etc.) the maximum allowed bet is €0.5 (or 50 SEK). Betting 0.55 will void all winnings. As well, if you win and then lower your bet "equal to or more than 65% of the previous average bet size" they can take your winnings.

Banking

The casino provides a wide variety of banking methods in multiple currencies. The minimum deposit is €10 and the minimum withdrawal is €20. Players are allowed one withdrawal per day up to €2,000 and cannot cash out more than €5,000 in any month. Processing can take up to 3 days and another 72 hours to show up on your card. All payouts are processed to the method of deposit when possible.

The UK fund protection level is "medium", which means all player funds are held in a separate account and the casino cannot borrow against them or otherwise put them at risk in any way.

Dispute Resolution

UK players who believe Nektan has not satisfactorily resolved a dispute may use the UKGC ADR agent, IBAS. All others should address the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner.

Pitfalls

The casino is not available to players in the US, but that is the only country specifically mentioned in the T&C. Players in other non-accepted jurisdictions may have to try to register to have the casino's ISP geo-identification program inform them that, "This feature is currently unavailable in your region".

The bonus scheme is not player friendly.

The Final Word

Sunset Spins Casino is owned by the UK's fastest growing iGaming network and operated by a rock-solid white label provider. The quality and variety of games are excellent with over 250 to choose from. Nektan was originally created for mobile and the HTML5 games play great on any operating system or device.

Customer service agents are well trained, courteous, and knowledgeable. Banking is nearly effortless and the casino provides a robust responsible gambling program which invites players to contact customer service if they ever wish to discuss their gambling, ask about reality checks, place deposit limits on their accounts, take a timeout, or exclude themselves from the casino's service temporarily or permanently.
