Casino Land Casino Review

From a place that goes by the name 'Casinoland', you'd expect nothing less than quality games as far as the eye can see. And on this front, the casino truly delivers. With a fun and varied selection of table games and live casino matches on top of a strong library of over 300 slot machines, Casinoland feels like a comprehensive virtual version of a real Vegas establishment.

Casinoland's library is comprised of titles from 7 different developers – software king Microgaming, the highly influential NetEnt, and a few less prolific but nonetheless respected vendors such as IGT, Quickspin and Play 'N' Go. Casinoland also offer players the option to filter games by developer and category, and provide a 'favourites' tab so gamers can quickly and easily access their preferred titles. Though these features may seem fairly basic, many online casinos fail to include them, opting instead to simply display all their games in a long list, resulting in an interface that feels messy and impersonal.

In terms of the library itself, Casinoland offers a pleasingly varied selection of titles. It's easy enough for a casino to deliver a lot of games, but it's the quality and the choice the player is given that really counts. With everything from Mega Moolah to Motorhead slots, a range of real-time live casino options, table games both niche and familiar, and both real money and fun money options, Casinoland delivers – there's something here for gamblers of every persuasion.

Casinoland offer their players a generous welcome. With bonuses of up to 100% on players' first 4 deposits, new users can enjoy a lengthy settling-in period that can give them as much as £800 extra playing money. It's certainly not a bad deal, and lends Casinoland an appealing edge over many of its competitors.

To sweeten the deal, Casinoland also provide promotions for their customers, usually focusing on specific games. Lately they've been shining the spotlight on their Tuesday offer – the opportunity to get 50 extra spins out of a £50 deposit on the Sakura Fortune slot. Not bad, certainly – but for a casino with such potential, it's a little limited. We'd like to see something more than a straightforward weekly deal. Perhaps some seasonal promotions or even a few larger monthly offers to give Casinoland players an incentive to keep coming back to the casino.

Unlike many casinos in the industry, Casinoland shoots for subtlety when it comes to its design, and it pays off. Using a few simple, smooth blues for its background, it creates an atmosphere that is welcoming and professional without being overbearing or garish. Its banner is a striking drawing of the British bulldog, sharply dressed in monocle and suit, its paw above the great golden dice of chance. Poorly executed, these elements could be jarring and jumbled, but the precise choice of colours and simplicity of the layout brings them together in a way that feels cool, calm, and most importantly, classy.

Navigating Casinoland is straightforward and intuitive thanks to a crisp, clear interface that allows users to easily access every section of the site, from the slots selection to the privacy policy. Links are available at the bottom of the homepage, with a clear but unobtrusive dashboard providing quick shortcuts to the basic areas of the casino. It's solid web design, and helps to add extra polish to an already impressive site.

Casinoland is regulated and licenced by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), as well as the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). These attributes are a solid testament to the honesty, integrity and safety of the casino, and to push this impression even further, the site makes the vital effort to comply with gambling awareness agency GamCare's code of conduct. The casino takes responsible gambling extremely seriously, offering self-exclusion and deposit/time limit features as well as reality checks and plenty of information on the subject to keep players happy and to keep entertainment entertaining.

Casinoland also strives for an effective dialogue with their player base. Their FAQ section is suitably comprehensive, while any further issues can be easily addressed through the live chat service. This option is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and allows users to select the topic they're concerned with – a great option for getting in touch immediately. Alternatively, users can e-mail the casino through the site and we can't help but be highly impressed by Casinoland's approach to customer support.

Once, gambling was a static affair, at first limited mostly to land-based establishments and then gradually expanding to desktop computers. Now it's exploding onto smartphones and tablets, with casinos racing to develop well-optimised, high-capacity versions of their PC experiences.

Casinoland are masters in this. Their mobile casino is every inch recognisable, with the design virtually identical yet losing none of its visual appeal or effective interface in its translation to mobile format. It can be accessed via browser, removing the need for a data-consuming download and making it a versatile option for anyone who likes to gamble on the go.

What's particularly impressive, however, is that Casinoland manages to maintain the majority of the titles in its vast library in mobile form. Though a few games are omitted, the player is still spoilt for choice, whatever their preferred pastime. Replicating the smoothness and scale of the original site, Casinoland is every bit as impressive on a smartphone screen as it is on a PC.

To tell the truth, the only major problem we can spot with Casinoland's banking options is the absence of PayPal as an accepted method, a factor which may be an inconvenience to those who favour the e-wallet.

However, this slight limitation is more than compensated for by the fact that Casinoland charges no withdrawal fees and offers instant processing times on all payments. This is still incredibly rare in the world of online casinos.

Though PayPal may be absent, Casinoland accommodates a wide spectrum of payment options including the standard Visa and MasterCard methods as well as a variety of e-wallets (including Skrill, Neteller, and EcoPayz) and other options such as Paysafecard and, iDEAL.

Though they may not accommodate everyone's payment preference, Casinoland makes an effort to give their players plenty of choice in how they receive their winnings. More impressive, however, is their straightforward approach to withdrawals – no hidden fees, no irritating waiting times, just quality customer service.

Casinoland isn't without its flaws, but compared to many competitors out there, they're a true gem of a casino, committed to their customers and to their industry. They demonstrate passion for bringing players the most entertaining experiences they can, as well as honesty and integrity that users can truly rely on.
