Viks Casino

When you land on the site it becomes evident that Viks is short for Viking; there’s a definite Nordic feel to the site, with long boats and even an actual Viking chap. The layout of the site works really well, you should find your way around easily enough.

Bonuses and Promotions

The headline welcome offer looks pretty good, you’ll get a 100% bonus up to £1,000 and 50 free spins when you make your first deposit of £25 or more. You need to enter a promo code when you’re make your first deposit, so grab this from the offer details before you deposit. Once you’ve got your bonus funds you’ll need to wager 30 times the combined value of your deposit and bonus before you can convert it to cash.

Your free spins are split across desktop and mobile, you’ll have 25 for each platform and they have to be used on Book of Dead. Any free spins winnings will need to be wagered 35 times before you can withdraw them. There’s a cap on winnings at 2 times the value of your bonus, it’s worth keeping this figure in mind to avoid disappointment. As is normally the case, not all games contribute equally to the wagering requirements, so it’s worth checking out the terms before you play.

In addition to the welcome offer, you’ll find plenty of other promos on the site, with opportunities to get free spins and bonuses. Some of the offers need a promo code, so it’s worth keeping an eye on the offers page to keep up with what’s going on.

Games on Offer

Viks has games from some of the biggest providers, including Netent and Microgaming, so you know you’re going to get access to some great quality games. You can search the games by provider too, so it’s easy to check out what’s new from your favourite developer.

The slots section is well-stocked, there are tonnes to work your way through and you can play most of them in demo mode, so you don’t need to risk your cash until you get the hang of things. You’ll find all your favourite games like Starburst, Gonzo and Immortal Romance, but it’s well worth spending some time checking out some of the games you haven’t heard of before. There aren’t many jackpot games, but the few that are there have pretty decent pay-outs up for grabs.

Table games are a bit thin on the ground, there’s an empty video poker section, two roulette tables, one poker table and one blackjack table. There is a live casino though and it has much more choice, there are loads of tables to choose from covering baccarat, blackjack, roulette and poker.

Service

Customer service is available by live chat and email, or you can fill in a contact form, so there’s lots of flexibility in terms of how you get in touch with them. Unfortunately the opening hours aren’t great though, you can get them Monday to Friday, 9am to 10pm (CET), which means if you have a disaster on a Friday night, you’ve got a while to wait to get it sorted out.

Mobile Experience

All of the slots seem to be available in the mobile casino, which is what Viks is all about. You don’t need to download an app to access the mobile games, just go to the site’s main address in your device’s browser and you should find they work well.

Security

Viks Casino is registered in Malta and fully regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, so you’ve got all the protection you’d get from any other genuine UK site.

The site operates industry standard encryption, which protects your financial transactions in the same way as your online banking, so your details should be kept safe.

Summary/Verdict

Viks Casino hasn’t been around that long, but it has a parent company who have built up over a decade in the industry. Viks is one of their newer sites, so is benefiting from their experience.

The welcome offer’s ok and gives all you high rollers the chance to get your hands on a hefty bonus, but the wagering requirement is a tad high.

If you love slots, you’re well catered for at Viks, but table gamers not so much. There is a decent live casino though, which has a lot more choice than the video table games. All the slots work well on mobile and there’s no need to download an app.

It’s great that you can contact customer support by phone and live chat, but a big ol’ shame that  they’re closed at weekends.

Viks casino is a great site if you love slots or if you’re a fan of the live dealer games, if this is you, get over there and see for yourself.
