Rialto Casino is an online casino run by Rank Interactive and based on the land-based Grosvenor casino of the same name. It’s not a big, in-your-face casino and keeps things a little more compact and streamlined than many of the other casinos I’ve reviewed lately. But it looks stylish, it’s well designed, and it’s always interesting to see what land-based casinos do when going digital.

So, let’s take a closer look and see how Rialto Casino compares to the likes of Buzz Casino.

Welcome Bonus

Click the link on this page, visit Rialto Casino, and choose “1st Deposit Offer” before depositing at least £20. You’ll get a 100% match up to £100, as well as 50 free spins on the Fishin Frenzy Megaways slot. You must clear a 25x wagering requirement before withdrawing any of your funds and the money you win from those free spins can only be wagered on Fishin Frenzy. There’s also a free spin winnings cap of £25, equating to just £0.50 per spin.

A 40x wagering requirement applies to the bonus credits, but you have more freedom with regard to the games you can play. All slots and scratch cards count 100% for the wagering requirements, while table games count for just 20%. The bonus has a win cap of 5x, so if you collect the full amount of £100, you can’t withdraw more than £500.

Although a win cap is never a welcome sight, it’s high enough not to be an issue here. However, the minimum deposit is on the high side and you also can’t collect this bonus if you deposit using PayPal. It’s not the only site to apply this term and it has become common of late, but that doesn’t make it excusable. I personally use PayPal on all gambling sites and I’m not alone in that, so it’s going to frustrate a lot of players.

You can deposit with a debit card to begin with and then switch to PayPal, but you’ll need to withdraw any winnings back to that debit card first and may encounter this term on reload bonuses as well.

After collecting the first deposit offer, you can advance to a second and third. Both of these are 50% matched offers for a total of £200 and 150 free spins.

Other Promotions

The reload promotions are the things that impressed me the most on Rialto Casino. Not only are there lots of free spins, giveaways, and daily rewards, but there’s also a loyalty program known as Ruby Rewards. It incentivises you to stick around and keep playing the site’s games, giving you cashback of up to £100 a week, as well as regular perks and promotions.

Casino promotions are often restricted to slot games and centre around free spins. But that’s not the case on Rialto Casino and the site does a good job of appealing to live casino players. The Casino Masters program, for instance, gives you big rewards on wagers of £100 or more, and it’s just one of the ways you can benefit from playing these games.

Slots and Casino Games

Rialto Casino keeps things very simple in the gaming department. It has around 400 games, which is pretty poor when compared to the latest casinos stacked high with thousands of titles. On the plus side, those games include some of the UK’s most popular titles, including a glut of Megaways slots, NetEnt games, Slingo games, and Blueprint Gaming slots.

There are several different categories to make searching through these slots easier, but they’re not very helpful. Instead of options based on themes and features, we get “Classics”, “Must-Try”, “Top Slots”, and “Hidden Gems”. It just feels like they have found several ways of advertising the specials on the menu.

There are a few basic table games from the Evolution Gaming catalogue, including variations of live and RNG roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker. If these aren’t quite your thing, Rialto Casino has some other interactive titles, including instant win games and scratch cards.

It’s a good selection, and it covers all bases, but I would have preferred to see at least twice as many games, as well as better category and filter options.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Although you must deposit at least £20 to qualify for the welcome bonus, the site accepts deposits of just £10, and this is true for all accepted payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Paysafecard, Apple Pay). There’s no charge for depositing or withdrawing, and cash outs should be processed instantly thanks to the Faster Payments system.

Usually, banking options are a major sticking point for these reviews as they can be slow, expensive, or otherwise problematic, but there’s nothing to complain about on Rialto Casino.

Verdict: Rialto Casino Review

There are a few things I don’t like about Rialto Casino, including the PayPal exclusion for the welcome bonus and the limited selection of games. But there are far more positives than negatives. It has a clean design and is easy to navigate, the games are good, and it has some of the best loyalty promotions I’ve seen recently. Overall, it’s a great site, and it’s well worth checking out. Just make sure you hit that £20 minimum welcome bonus requirement and don’t use PayPal for your first deposit.
