Kerching Casino

The website has a mixed design, the logo appears to be comic book inspired, whilst the background is a starry night over the Sahara desert, with camels, pyramids and shooting stars. It’s a bit of a mish mash, but somehow it works. The website’s navigation isn’t the best, the games aren’t particularly well categorised, but it is easy to sign up and contact customer support.

Bonuses and Promotions

The welcome offer is a three stager, rewarding you for your first three deposits with a mix of bonus funds and free spins. Your first deposit of £10 or more will get a 100% bonus up to £50 and 50 free spins for Cleopatra, your second will get a 100% bonus up to £150 and another 25 spins, your third will get a 50% bonus up to £300 and 25 more spins.

The wagering requirement for bonus funds is a little on the high side, at 30 times the combined value of your deposit and bonus. There is a cap on winnings at 5 times the bonus awarded, so bear this in mind to avoid disappointment. The spins are only valid for 7 days, but you do have 28 days to use your bonus funds. As is normally the case, not all games contribute equally to the wagering requirements, so it’s well worth checking out the terms before you play.

There’s a VIP club at Kerching, you need to be invited to join, but when you’re in you’ll get access to a dedicated account manager, a VIP welcome bonus, monthly bonuses and birthday bonuses.

Games on Offer

The game choice is pretty good at Kerching, especially if you’re after slots, there’re also some pretty good jackpot games with decent pay-outs too.

Slots are really well catered for and you will find popular games such as Starburst and Gonzo, plus a wide range of less well known gems and new games being added regularly. You can filter the games by player favourites, new, jackpot and recommended, but other than that you either need to scroll through all the games or use the search tool.

There isn’t a category for table games or live games, but use the search tool and there actually is a good range of poker, baccarat, roulette and blackjack, with a fair few live tables as well

Service

Customer support is well taken care of at Kerching, you can contact them by email, live chat and a local rates telephone, which is a huge plus as telephone support is becoming rare. You can’t get hold of them 24/7, but you will get someone between 8am and midnight, 7 days a week, so there’ll never be too long to wait.

Mobile Experience

Kerching has always been very much a desktop site, but since Nektan took the reins the site has been updated and made more mobile friendly. You can play the majority of the games through the mobile site and navigation is pretty straightforward. If your using an Apple device you can download the app from the App Store, but this is really down to preference as both the app and the mobile site are pretty equal.

Security

Kerching is registered in Malta via Nektan and fully regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, so you’re getting the same level of protection that you’d get from any other legitimate UK site.

The site uses industry standard encryption and follows industry advice to keep accounts safe. The level of encryption used is the same as you get with your online banking, so your transactions and details should be kept safe.

Summary/Verdict

Kerching has been around the block since it’s launch over 10 years ago, the site is now owned by the reputable Nektan, who have introduced some positive changes since they took over. The site’s design is a bit different, but it works, most of the navigation works is intuitive, but the games aren’t categorised particularly well. That said, the search tool is very good.

The welcome offer is a mix of free spins and bonus funds, which is always a welcome combination, it’s a shame the wagering requirements are a bit on the high side though.

Game choice is good, but very slots orientated, there are table games and live casino, but you have to search to find them as they’re not listed in the menus.

It’s great you can get customer support by live chat and phone, although it’s a shame they’re not available 24/7. There have been some really positive changes to the site in recent years, making it much more mobile friendly.

All in all Kerching is a good site, well worth a visit especially if you’re after a decent range of quality slots.
