Piratespin Casino Review
Get your eye patch and your wooden leg on and report to the captain! Piratespin.com is a new casino operated by Aspire Global International Ltd, registered in Malta and licensed by Maltese authorities as in the UK. The casino built to look and feel as a pirate ship and on that point, it’s a formidable success.
At Piratespin.com you get a quality user experience. It’s fun and entertaining to navigate the site and see all the unique pirate ship themed featured, and it’s easy too. The game search tool is great for finding your favourite game quickly. There’s no need to flip through hundreds of games. Just type in the name and off you go!
With more than 600 games available there will be something for everyone. Actually, we’re pretty sure it’s more than enough for anyone. Yes, there are online casinos with more games but we find that the selection available at Piratespin.com is more than adequate for most, if not all players.
Most things at this casino are great. However, we want to point out one area where there’s room for improvement. Customer support is only available between 6:00 and 23:00 GMT (08:00 – 01:00 CET) and there’s no phone support at all. Especially the opening hours, or rather closing hours, we find a bit problematic from a gamer’s point of view.
Welcome offer and bonuses
As a new player at Piratespin.com, you’ll be offered a bonus of 100%, up to €200 on your first deposits. There are also 100 free spins to be had, but they are spread over the first three deposits, which must be made on your first three days as a new customer, so you’ll need to make a flying start to get your full share of welcome goodies.
As a regular, returning customer you will be greeted with a variety of offers from time to time. No matter what you will always be collecting bonus points, which are handed out once for every €40 you play. When you have enough bonus points these can be exchanged for money to play with. Collecting bonus point will also increase your rank within the VIP ladder, where each step you climb will mean more bang for your bonus points
The wagering requirement for all bonus money is 35 times, which we find to be rather ordinary. Also, there are some games that contribute only in part, or not at all, to the wagering requirement.
Game selection
The game selection is good and well balanced, in our opinion, with the usual assortment of slots, table games and video poker, topped of with live casino. But, there’s also scratch cards and bingo, for those of you who prefer those games.
Variety within the categories is good, and it should be. Piratespin.com currently hosts a bit over 600 different games from over 15 leading game providers. While we’re sure that someone will find that their unusual favourite game is missing we’re of the opinion that for most of us the game selection is fine. Most of us won’t even play half of them, anyway.
Poker games
Poker is poker, right? Well, it’s not really that simple. As we all know there are variants of everything. At Piratespin you’ll find four variations of video poker games, some with additional gambling options for you to increase your winnings further.
If you’re really into poker this selection may not be enough. Also, there’s currently no live poker game, so the poker enthusiast will probably look elsewhere for the action.
Bubble bingo, and other varieties
For those of us who love bingo Piratespin offers three varieties. The first one is plain Bingo, the traditional and rather dull game that some love but which will bore others. But don’t despair! With Bingo Bonanza and Bubble Bingo things are getting more interesting, with more ways to win and the opportunity to win big, up to 10000 times your bet if you’re lucky.
Deposits and payments
It’s easy enough to make a deposit at Piratespin.com. You can use pretty much anything from your credit card or mobile phone to direct bank transfer. All in all, there are around 20
payment options, most of them with no processing time, which means your money will be immediately available for you to play with as soon as the payment is done.
With certain payment options, such as Neteller and Skrill you won’t be able to bet more than €2.50 at a time. If this is an issue for you, pick something else. Also, when you want to make a withdrawal the options are somewhat more limited, but getting in touch with customer support will surely sort that out.
All transactions at Piratespin, while paying and playing, are protected by industry-standard SSL-encrypted connections. All servers are of course secured in the usual manner behind well-maintained firewalls so that your money is kept safe.
Verdict
With Piratespin, Aspire Global has really succeeded in creating a nice and entertaining online casino that is fun to use and that offers a great selection of games sure to suit most of us.
Overall we find that game selection is well thought out. There’s really nothing missing here, and although some players with special interests in specific games may want to look further to find their perfect casino, we believe that for most of us, Piratespin is the perfect sized casino, delivered in a very nice pirate themed package that won’t make you disappointed.
While the casino itself leaves little in addition to be desired we must point out that we find the customer support a bit lacking as it isn’t available around the clock. Also, a support phone number would have been nice for those situations when you need to speak directly to a person to explain your problem.
