Casino background
SCasino launched in 2002. Since then, it has built a casino offering games and services described as meeting high security and fair-play standards. Operator ElectraWorks Limited supplies casino, bingo, virtual sports and other gambling software. Its other online brands include Casino Las Vegas, BWIN Casino, Swanky Bingo Casino and Casino King.
Licensing, security and fair play
SCasino holds a licence issued by the Government of Gibraltar and is supervised by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. It also reports holding a gaming licence from the UK Gambling Commission.
The review says industry-standard encryption protects personal information sent between players and SCasino. The site also carries out identity checks to help prevent fraud and protect customer privacy.
The review says SCasino’s fair play is assured through regular checks that games generate random numbers accurately. It reports that independent company Technical Systems Testing (TST) audits the games and publishes its findings on its website.
Bonuses and offers
SCasino offers players a choice rather than giving everyone the same welcome bonus. Its two welcome packages are supplemented by occasional offers that may include reload bonuses and free spins.
Welcome offers
When registering at SCasino, players can choose between two welcome offers: an automatic 100% bonus or 20% cashback by entering promo code ‘CASHBACK.’
OFFER 1: 100% Bonus
This automatic offer is attached to your first SCasino deposit. The minimum deposit is $/£/€20, and the bonus is capped at $/£/€500.
OFFER 2: 20% Cashback
For this welcome offer, enter promo code CASHBACK with your first deposit, as specified. The minimum deposit is $/£/€20, and the maximum cashback is $/£/€500.
For either offer, you must wager your deposit before using bonus funds. Winnings associated with the bonus cannot be withdrawn until you meet the wagering condition. The bonus must be played through within 30 days; otherwise, those winnings are forfeited.
The review states that SCasino’s wagering requirement is 25x the deposit bonus. Different game categories contribute at different rates toward that target:
- Slots, scratchcards & keno: 100%
- Roulette and live roulette: 0 – 50% (Low table coverage: 33% or less: 50% | Medium table coverage: 33.1% to 66%: 25% | High table coverage: 66.1% or more: 0%)
- Arcade games, live poker and poker: 20%
- Baccarat, live baccarat & Live Spin a Wheel: 10%
- Video poker, Sic Bo, craps, blackjack, live blackjack & other games: 5%
- Double options in video poker and slots: 0%
VIP rewards
SCasino calls its VIP scheme the Privilege Club. The review describes the programme as unusual because every SCasino member is considered a VIP. Members may earn different rewards and bonuses through gameplay.
The VIP scheme has six tiers, with qualification based on deposits or points, depending on the level. The listed ranks are:
- Member: reached after the 2nd deposit
- S Member: reached after the 5th deposit
- Premium Member: entry at 2,000 points
- Elite Member: entry at 6,000 points
- First Class: entry at 20,000 points
- Black Card: invitation only
Rewards and conversion rates differ by tier. At Member level, for instance, the listed rate is $/£/€1 for every 100 points earned. The review also mentions tier-up bonuses, loyalty spins issued on the 10th and 20th of each month, personalised bonus plans and birthday gifts.
To qualify for Loyalty Lounge gifts, a player must have made at least one deposit in the previous 90 days. Gifts expire 48 hours after being issued, and bonus winnings are subject to wagering. The review lists a 35x requirement on the bonus amount for free bonuses and a 20x requirement on free-spin winnings. All wagering must be completed within 5 days of accepting the bonus.
Reload and deposit offers
At the time the review was written, its checks found no deposit promotions apart from the welcome offers. It notes SCasino may introduce these perks at different times during the month, so players would need to look out for them. Any accepted bonus must be wagered within 5 days.
For a deposit bonus, the review gives a $/£/€20 minimum deposit and a $/£/€200 maximum bonus. The stated wagering requirement is 25x the deposit bonus, while free spins have a 20x requirement on winnings. The maximum cash-out for free-spin winnings depends on loyalty tier and deposit count, with these limits listed:
- No deposit or one deposit: $/£/€100
- Member, S Member or Premium Member: $/£/€1,000
- Elite Member or First Class: $/£/€5,000
- Black Card: $/£/€10,000
Any winnings above the applicable limit are automatically removed from the online casino account.
Loyalty scheme
SCasino’s loyalty scheme awards points for wagers on slots, table games and card games. Once players have collected enough points, they can exchange them for cash.
The number of points earned depends on the game. The listed rates are:
- Slots, keno & scratch cards: 1 loyalty point per $/£/€10 bet
- Roulette, Red Dog, Stravaganza & Paw Gow: 1 loyalty point per $/£/€20 bet
- Blackjack, craps, video poker, baccarat, Pontoon, Casino Hold’em & arcade: 1 loyalty point per $/£/€30 bet.
Ways to pay
SCasino lists several payment methods for customers in different regions. The review cautions that a payment provider shown on the banking page may not be available in every location, so check the options for your region.
Depositing
Deposits are credited to SCasino accounts instantly, and every payment method has a $/£/€10 minimum. Listed providers include Mastercard, Visa, Skrill, Paysafecard, Neteller, Sofort, Instadebit and bank transfer.
Withdrawing funds
Most methods have a listed minimum withdrawal of $/£/€20; bank transfers require at least $/£/€100. SCasino reportedly takes about two business days to process a request before forwarding it to the selected provider. The time for funds to arrive then depends on the method.
Games and software
SCasino’s catalogue features progressive slots with growing jackpots, classic slot games, roulette, blackjack and other table games. The review also describes a sizeable live dealer section.
Software provider
While many online casinos offer games from several studios, SCasino uses a single provider: Playtech. The review characterises Playtech as a reputable supplier with a track record of producing polished games designed to be entertaining and fair.
Slot games
The slot selection includes games based on television and films, such as ‘Ace Ventura Pet Detective’ and ‘Rocky’. The review also highlights newer options, including games from the Marvel series.
Table games
SCasino’s table game catalogue covers card and dice games, including familiar picks such as blackjack and roulette, as well as several variations. Other named games include Heads-Up Hold’em, Wild Viking, Caribbean Stud Poker, Tequila Poker and baccarat.
Live dealer games
SCasino’s Live Casino section streams dealer-hosted games using Playtech technology, aiming to recreate a land-based casino atmosphere. Listed games include blackjack, roulette, Casino Hold’em, stud poker, Spin a Wheel and Hi-Lo.
Mobile play
SCasino is optimised for mobile play at home or on the go, adapting to different screen sizes. It says casino games are available on Android, iPhone and Windows devices, with quick loading and smooth gameplay. Most games and features from the desktop version are also reported to be accessible on mobile.
Help and support
SCasino lists email, live chat and phone as support channels. Email responses may take a few hours, while live chat with a service manager or agent is available every day. Phone support is also offered.
