History
PlayCherry Ltd launched Cherry Casino in 2000, at the turn of the century. Other brands owned by the company included Svea Casino, Frank & Fred Casino, NorgesSpill Casino and Euro Lotto. The business initially operated as Playcherry holding limited, then registered as PlayCherry Limited in 2007 after a merger.
Licences, security and fair play
Based in Malta, PlayCherry Ltd applied for an MGA licence. PlayCherry casinos were available to Swedish players and advertised a Swedish Gaming Authority licence. The review associated these regulators with EU consumer protections and privacy laws; this reflects its historical account, not a current or Canada-wide authorization.
The review said consumer-rights rules make casinos responsible for demonstrating that their games are fair and that member privacy is protected. It described measures including limiting the account details displayed and encrypting casino connections and financial transactions.
Bonus and promotion overview
The review listed a welcome bonus worth up to 200 free spins, as well as daily and weekly offers. It also mentioned a VIP program for players who met its qualification criteria.
Welcome bonus
New Cherry Casino players could claim a welcome offer of up to 200 free spins on three popular video slots.
A deposit of at least €20 made players eligible for a spin of the Bonus Wheel, which set the number of spins awarded: 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, or 200. Spins could be used on Starburst, Dead or Alive, or Aloha at Cherry Casino.
The terms listed in the review capped free-spin winnings at €100 and required 50x wagering before bonus cash could be withdrawn. Bonus play also had a maximum bet of €5 or €0.50 per pay line.
Jackpot slots were not excluded, so the review suggested using those games for free-spin winnings.
The listed wagering contribution rates by game category were:
- All Slots: 100%
- All Video Poker: 10%
- All Punto Banco: 10%
- All Oasis Poker: 10%
- All Blackjack: 10%
- All Roulette: 10%
- All Baccarat: 10%
- All Other Table Games: 10%
- All Other Games: 100%
The bonus expired after 14 days if the wagering requirements were not met. Deposits made using Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Webmoney, and Ukash were ineligible.
Other bonuses and promotions
The review also recorded other offers, including a 30% deposit match capped at €60, which was the main promotion at the time.
Loyalty programme
Cherry Casino tied VIP and loyalty status to deposits made over the previous three months. Players whose deposits totalled at least €1,000 in that period qualified for Bronze VIP; Platinum required €50,000.
VIP status lasted 6 months. Afterward, players who did not maintain the same deposit level moved down one tier every three months.
Payment Methods Summary
Games could be played in EUR, USD, NOK, and SEK.
Depositing
Deposits were accepted in EUR, USD, NOK, and SEK, with a minimum deposit of €10. Most promotions required double that amount.
Deposit methods listed included Visa/Mastercard, Bank Transfer, Skrill, Neteller, Trustly, Paysafecard, Webmoney, and Ukash. Transactions were described as instant, except Bank Transfers, which could take a few business days.
Withdrawals and cash-outs
The minimum withdrawal was €20. Listed payment methods were Visa/Mastercard, Bank Transfer, Skrill, Neteller, Trustly, WebMoney, and Ukash.
According to the review, withdrawal requests could remain pending for up to 72 hours at Cherry Casino. After approval, card and bank-transfer payments could take 1-5 business days; e-wallet withdrawals were usually completed within a day of leaving pending status.
The review said Cherry Casino had no separate withdrawal cap; limits depended on the payment method. It noted that, in theory, a player could withdraw as much as €100,000 per day through a service such as Trustly.
Game selection overview
Our review counted more than 1,400 casino games at Cherry Casino, mainly slots, alongside a smaller selection of table and live dealer titles. A menu on the left divided the lobby into ‘Casino’, ‘Live Casino’, and ‘Sports’. The Sports area was for betting and is outside this overview of the game library.
Slots and table games appeared in the ‘Casino’ area under ‘Most Popular’, ‘Video Slot’, ‘Table Games’, and ‘Jackpot Games’. The ‘Live Casino’ section was divided into three smaller categories.
Casino game software providers
The review identified NetEnt as Cherry Casino’s main software partner, with much of its catalogue available. It also named titles from Microgaming, Evolution Gaming, NYX, Amaya, Yggdrasil, and Thunderkick.
Casino slots
Cherry Casino’s slots collection was described as close to 1,400 titles, spanning classic and video games as well as progressive jackpots. Games from several software studios gave players a variety of formats to browse.
NetEnt’s games included Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, and Guns N’Roses. Microgaming titles included Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck, and Playboy. The review counted 16 progressive jackpot slots, including Mega Moolah, Major Millions, and Ozwin’s Jackpots.
Casino table games
Cherry Casino’s table lobby had a modest selection of just under 20 games. Roulette accounted for nearly half, with European, French and American Roulette among the variants. There were also half a dozen Blackjack titles, including Dr Fortuno Blackjack, Blackjack Multihand and Blackjack Double Exposure. The only other game identified was 3-Hand Casino Hold’em. These games appeared in the lobby’s ‘Table Games’ section.
Live casino
The left-hand ‘Live Casino’ menu displayed Cherry Casino’s live dealer games in ‘Best of Live’, ‘Roulette’, and ‘Blackjack’ categories.
Roulette appeared to dominate the live table range, with 12 tables in total. Alongside standard versions, the review listed Lightning Roulette, Dragonara Roulette, and Immersive Roulette. It counted just 3 Blackjack games: Blackjack, Free Bet Blackjack, and Blackjack Live.
The ‘Best of Live’ category included other live casino formats: a Baccarat table; poker games such as Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, and Casino Hold’em; and gameshow-style titles including Dream Catcher and Monopoly Live.
Mobile casino review
The review said most Cherry Casino games were instant-play titles for desktop and mobile devices. The site was optimized for both, so a separate app was unnecessary. Players using Android, iOS, Windows, Mac or Linux could access the casino in a mainstream browser such as Chrome or Firefox.
Customer support
The review listed two ways to contact Cherry Casino about an issue. Live chat was available from 5 am to 9 pm GMT, while email support was described as available 24/7. An FAQ page also covered common questions.

Conclusion
Cherry Casino offered a varied selection, according to the review, including slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, poker and other familiar formats. Each game had its own rules and style; blackjack, for example, was available with a single deck or 4 decks. The review also noted a bonus, but warned that its 50x wagering requirement could be difficult to meet.
