Virgin Games

Virgin is every capitalist’s dream. It’s a brand that’s famous all over the world and has stamped on countless companies across dozens of industries. You can hop on a Virgin Atlantic flight as part of an epic Virgin Experience Day. On the plane, you can read a book you bought from Virgin Books before booking into a Virgin Hotel, visiting a Virgin Active gym, and then planning the rest of your vacation courtesy of Virgin Vacation or Virgin Holidays. It’s insane. And impressive. But there’s more. Virgin Games is also part of this vast and seemingly never-ending brand. It’s an online casino operated by Gamesys. The question is, will it fail like Virgin Cola (yep, that was real) and Virginware, or will it soar like Virgin Atlantic?

Welcome Offer

The Virgin Welcome Offer is nothing new. Literally. It’s the same offer that you can find on other Gamesys websites, including Double Bubble Bingo. The offer is split two ways. You can either go for the slot bonus or the bingo bonus. The slot bonus gives you 30 Free Spins on the Double Bubble slot. You need to deposit and wager at least £10 to qualify and there is no wagering requirement. Just remember that the £10 is a wager amount and not a deposit amount, so you’ll only get the bonus when you actually gamble the money. The bingo bonus offers 50 Free Bingo Tickets. It’s often advertised as a £50 bingo bonus, as you can use the tickets to play £1 games. But they can also be used on 1p games, in which case the entire bonus will be worth just £0.50. Pay close attention to where these tickets are being used and try to get as much out of them as you can. It’s not the sort of bonus that will grab you, make you drop everything you’re doing, and convince you to sign up. It’s pretty disappointing. In fact, if you’re a bigger spender, it’s terrible. But for casual players seeking a few spins or freebies, it’s ideal. After all, deposit bonuses of up to £100 are great if you actually deposit that amount, but if you typically only play with £10, that extra 0 is completely irreverent. The lack of a wagering requirement is also a huge plus, as is the fact there are no caps on winnings.

Other Promotions

Virgin Games doesn’t have many promotions away from the main bonus offer. There are a few reload promotions from time to time, though, and you’ll also find events, giveaways, Drop & Wins, and more. If you want a site that always has something new to collect, a site with a massive loyalty scheme and stacks of incentives, check out 888Casino or Aladdin Slots, instead.

Slots and Bingo Games

Virgin Games is a very busy site. There are over 400 casino slots from top developers, and you’ll also find an active bingo room, Live Casino games, Slingo games, and an online poker room. It’s a pretty complete website. It’s not quite as big as PokerStars or William Hill, as all of these sections are fairly small and limited, but it’s a good selection, nonetheless. The bingo games include 75-ball and 90-ball variants, with grand prizes regularly exceeding £1,000 and tickets costing as little as £0.01. Some of the site’s best promotions are tied to its bingo and poker games, so make sure you check these out before you play. If you’re operating on a limited budget but really enjoy playing slots and bingo games, check out the Free Games section. After making a deposit of just £10, you’ll be given access to stacks of free games. These games operate just like the real thing, only you won’t lose anything. You can use the Free Games section to get a feel for real money play and there are also some small cash prizes and Free Spins on offer. Don’t expect to walk away with a few hundred quid or a small jackpot, as that just won’t happen, but you could win a handful of spins or steadily grow a real money balance.

Depositing and Withdrawing

Payouts are always fast at Virgin Games and you won’t be charged a penny to make them. That should be standard, but you’d be surprised how many casinos still charge you for withdrawals (I’m looking at you, Jumpman Gaming) and how many have 3- to 5-day pending periods. Multiple payment options are accepted, including debit cards and PayPal, and the entire process is quick and easy. The same is true for verification, although most UK players will be automatically verified as soon as they sign up.

Virgin Games Review Summary

Virgin Games is good, but not great. There are far better options out there. That doesn’t mean it’s completely useless, though. The bonuses have some great terms, but they are very small. The games are solid and there’s a good selection, but there aren’t many of them available. All things considered, it’s a good site and one that’s worth playing, but it’s not going to become your number 1 anytime soon. [publishpress_authors_box layout="ppma_boxes_9936" user_id="4"]
