Platinum Play Casino came to us in 2004 as another big-name Microgaming casino, licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. A member of the Fortune Lounge Group, Platinum Play Casino has maintained a steady influx of new players by providing a solid gaming platform, available in download or Flash, a solid reputation and some very unique promotional offerings.
Platinum Play Casino Welcome Bonus
The online casino has one of the most unique welcome bonuses around, giving away up to $50 cash with no play-through requirements involved. Make your first deposit of $20-$200, and receive a 100% match bonus absolutely free by claiming the bonus under. The amount is instantly granted to the player’s real cash balance and can be used on any game at any time.
The actual bonus amount is not cashable. If a withdrawal is requested, the bonus will be deducted from the withdrawal amount. Should the player’s balance reach $0.00 before the first withdrawal, the bonus is written off by the casino. Essentially, the casino is staking players up to $50, interest free. You must pay it back once you’ve turned enough profit to desire a withdrawal, unless you lose it all. Then it’s just gone 🙂
You can increase the amount of your first deposit bonus by depositing with EcorCard, EntroPay, NETeller, or FirePay. There are promo codes for each method grant an extra 10% bonus up to €100. Platinum Play also runs weekly deposit bonuses, so be sure to check the promotions page for current details.
Platinum Play Casino does not support the full game variety developed by Microgaming, but does offer more than 150 games to choose from in its downloadable casino software. A “Casino Lite” version is powered by Flash technology for global OS compatibility and away-from-home convenience. The Flash version has all of the most popular games and loads directly in your browser.
Platinum Play Casino allows players to deposit and play in EUR, GBP or USD. All major currencies are accepted, but any other currency must first be converted to USD before game play. The online casino will take care of this instantly, using up-to-the-minute conversion rates. Note that Platinum Play Casino does not accept US players.
Software and Graphics
Platinum Play is powered by Microgaming technology, the top brand in the online casino software industry. Microgaming actually supports over 400 games, but Platinum Play only supplies about 250 of them in the download casino. The graphics are incredibly sharp and realistically designed. A user-friendly interface gives even the most novice online casino players easy access to their favorite games.
Platinum Play also presents a “Casino Lite” version of the Microgaming software, available in Flash. The instant-play version loads directly in the players browser. This is especially convenient for those who aren’t using their own home computer, as well as Mac/Linux users who can’t run the PC-compliant download. English is the only language supported by the casino software.
