Costa Games

Costa Casino is all about the sunny Costa Del Sol and aims to bring some of that sunshine to your gaming experience. The website is sunlit and bright, it’s a nice environment to spend your gaming time, plus it’s user friendly and easy to navigate.

Bonuses and Promotions

You’ll get 5 free spins just for registering at Costa, no deposit required, you do need to enter your card details when you sign up though. The wagering requirements on any winnings are pretty steep, at 80 times and not all games will contribute to the requirements. It’s rare to get something for nothing in this world and, with wagering requirements like this, it’s unlikely you’ll be withdrawing any free spin winnings.

When you make a deposit, it’ll be matched 100% up to £50 and you’ll also qualify for 100 free spins, which will be awarded in sets of 10 every three days, so make sure you log in to claim them. Wagering requirements are pretty steep at 40 time the deposit and bonus amount, and, as ever, not all games contribute equally to requirements.

Games on Offer

The game offering is alright at Costa, there are 200, not as many as you may find on some other sites, but what is there works well.

If slots are your thing, you’ll be happy, the majority of the games fall in to this category. You can find a lot of these games on other sites, but it is a good collection and there’s some good jackpot games too.

For those of you who prefer table games, you’ll find roulette, Keno and blackjack, plus there’s a live casino option too. This site really is focused on the slots though, table games are more of a side-line for slot players who fancy something different.

Service

Customer support is available 24/7, which is a big plus. You can get them on a UK freephone number or by email. There’s no live chat option though, which is surprising, as most sites seem to be going that way. You’ll also find an extensive FAQ section, so you won’t need to pick up the phone or fire off an email for every little question.

Mobile Experience

There’s no app available for Costa Games, but their sister site Costa Bingo does have an app, so there may be one on the way. The website is fully optimised for mobile use though, so if you want to play on your phone or tablet, you can. All the games seem to be available too, so they’ve got it pretty well covered.

Security

Costa Games is registered in Gibraltar and fully regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, so you’ve got the same level of protection you’d get from any other legitimate UK site.

The site operates industry standard encryption, providing you with the same level of security you get from your online banking, so your financial details should be kept out of harm’s way.

Summary/Verdict

Costa Games brings with it a sunny theme and experience from their bingo operating parent company. A huge downside is that you can’t see much of the site until you register and you have to enter card details to register, so it’s hard to see what you’re getting before you’re somewhat committed.

You will get 5 free spins for registering, but the wagering requirements before you can withdraw are, quite frankly, ridiculous. It feels like this offer is only in place to encourage registration, presumably a lot of people are put of by the demand for card details at this early stage. The wagering requirements for the main welcome offer aren’t much better either.

There are some good games to choose from, if you like slots, you’ll be pretty happy, as slots make up the majority of the 200 odd games. If table games or live casino are your thing, you’ll be better of elsewhere, as these are very much a side-line at Costa.

It’s brilliant that customer service is 24/7 and that you can get them by phone, but a little odd that they don’t provide a live chat option. Most other sites are moving towards live chat, and a lot of gamers prefer it.

The mobile offering is good, there’s no app, but the website is well optimised, with all games available to play on the go.

If you like slots and are looking for a good mobile offering, with 24/7 telephone support, Costa are worth a look. If table games are your thing, this one might not be for you.
